Another crafty day!!

....As much as I LOVE Summer...I guess I was NOT quite ready for it to be 90 degrees this early in the season!  And now my darn feet are all swollen again?  GRRR!  But, I think it's simply heat related, as they do NOT seem to hurt like the last time.  It's supposed to cool off tonight an be back down to seasonal temps tomorrow and that'll be wonderful.
   I spent another fun day working on challenge cards and today they were ALL for this week's new challenge over at SSC.  I have come to realize that SSC is my favorite challenge group and the one I enjoy and take part in the most.  I really LOVE the girls there and find it such a fun place...there is no drama or BS and everyone gets along so well, plus the challenges are all very inspiring.  My favorite kind of place and I've truly made some fabulous new friends in this group!  Congratulation to Judy for running such an awesome challenge group. I highly recommend it!  It ROCKS!!

  My first card is for this week's Copic Challenge and this week we had this sketch to use for our project and also has to "color" Brunette hair, as a follow-up to last week's class.  

   And this is my submission that I created with this adorable Lollipop Digi Image - Named Ella, , created by the very talented Lori Boyd.  Do you love her...do you want her...if you she can be yours too...simply hop on over HERE and you'll find her and some of her adorable friends all new in digi format!!

  I should note that I feel in love these adorable Lollipop images and was thrilled to find out that Ella and some of her friends are now available in digi format.  However, there are oodles of others available in Rubber too and you can find them over at DCRU.  There are lots of wonderful goodies in the store and I'm sure it's one I'll be shopping at again.  I've already been there twice to buy Ella and some of her friends !  I found this store after meeting  Lori Boyd  over at SSC.  I had admired some of her cards and then quickly learned that these cuties are ALL her wonderful creations.   The Lollipop characters are simply sweet as can be and there are so many wonderful sets to choose from!  ENJOY!!

  And now to my second card which was created for this week's Stamp-N-Scrap challenge, which was also a Sketch card with a twist.  This is the sketch --

   And this is my submission, including the TWIST, which is to add a Handmade flower!  I created m flowers in layers and using a few different techniques!  It was a FUN challenge and always is.

  And my last card today is this one, which I  just finished for this week's Card Corner Challenge, where we had to use these COLORS along with another TWIST to create a new card -- These are the colors --

  And this is my card, include the TWIST, which was to add twine or thread and I used Orange Embroidery Floss on my 'Magic Tilda' card and hope it will be okay?

   Another fun part of this challenge for me was using my new ABS1 along with my Copics to Air brush a background for Miss Tilda.  I'm really enjoying this new tool and think it was a great purchase and a something I will use often!

    I hope you'll stop over and join in the FUN!  There are lots of new prizes and RAK's now be awarded and I've been very luck to win some great things.  I was so happy and truly honored to be the SSC Featured Designer in February and I also won a Distrezz-It- ll last month for the challenges I entered on NSD!  It was a blast and every one in the group is really awesome and a lot of FUN!!

   Goodnight, Sweet Dreams...and as always ---Happy Crafting!!
