Music is Life...

Just popping in with my card for our challenge at 613 Avenue Create. We're Anything Goes but our optional twist is to show us your interpretation of "Love Me Do".   On September 11, 1962 the Beatles recorded their 1st single "Love Me Do".  Our sponsors this week are STAMPlorations, Bugaboo Stamps and Eureka Stamps.  

I used the Heart Note image by Eureka Stamps.

I colored the heart with Copics and used clear WOS on top of it.  I also colored all of the embossed dots with the WOS.  A Papertrey Ink die was used to cut the sentiment.

Come see what the 613 Avenue Create DT have made for your inspiration this week!  They are so amazingly talented  :)

Thanks for stopping by!

Back to School

Come join us this week at 613 Avenue Create, we're Anything Goes but this weeks twist is to use our 
Create Your Own Challenge chart:

Our sponsor is a favorite this week:

 Aurora Wings

I've opted to make an Anything Goes card this week using a Pure Innocence stamp by My Favorite Things.  My daughter is back to college for what should be her final semester! Yay Shianne!  So this was a card I made for her.   

The stick pin has hearts from a Lawn Fawn die and a vintage button with vintage seam binding bow.  I believe the papers were from a few different My Mind's Eye 6x6 pads.  Her outfit was paper pieced. 

   

Hope you can join us at 613 Avenue Create this week! Even if you just stop by to see what the DT have created this week, I really am so lucky to have such talented ladies on my design team!!

Hugs,

Kathi

Happy Birthday

Hi all!

Just a quick post to let you know about our challenge at 613 Avenue Create. 
We're Anything Goes but our optional twist is Happy Birthday!  This week our fabulous sponsor are Melonheadz Illustrations & Chubby Mermaid. 
Since adult coloring books are all the rage right now you should check out Chubby Mermaid.  She has some beautiful designs!  I have a birthday easel card to share with you but I did not use any sponsors this week.  Hope you like and yes I realize I'm late with another Cancer card!  LOL!  

This button actually had the two holes at the TOP of the button.  Don't know if it was an error but I wish I had more!!

Thanks for stopping by and come visit our neighborhood at 613 Avenue Create, we have some very talented ladies sharing their designs.
Hugs,
Kathi

Hey baby...what's your sign?

LOL...what a cheezy line huh?  Well, my husband got a kick out of it.  Which is good because it was his birthday card...my little crab!  LOL!  I love this set from Mama Elephant.  It has all of the zodiac signs called Cosmic Stars.  I also used the coordinating set Starry Night which has the sentiments.  I used Versamark ink to stamp the crab background.  The t-shirt and tag dies are by My Favorite Things.  The tag was embossed with a folder from The Paper Studio.  And the little crab was colored with Copics.

Come join us this week at 613 Avenue Create, we're Anything Goes but this weeks twist is Shabby Chic.  We have 3 sponsors this week which means 3 chances to win!  Even if you just stop by to check out our amazing Design Team samples.  Hope to see you there!

Subway art for my lovebug :)

 I try to have someone in mind when I create my DT projects and it usually ends up being my daughter Shianne.  So...this weeks Anything Goes challenge at 613 Avenue Create has the optional twist to use Subway Art.  I really like subway art, it's fun.  I found a free program that let's you create your own called Wordle which is what I used on my project.  Bugaboo Stamps is one of our sponsors this week and I used the image called Bugaboo Brat Bugs.  

Dies by MFT, Impression Obsession, Papertrey Ink.  The image was masked and the clouds were sprayed with Perfect Pearls. I did a little doodling along the edges. Black eyelets and a wire hanger were added at the top.

colored with Copics/Prismacolor pencils, 

Glossy Accents on the Ladybugs and heart

I added the mini hearts with a stamp
