Fun Day for a Good Cause!

PopPop & Aislinn

Today my family and friends walked and raised money for the American Diabetes Association's signature fundraising walk, Step Out: Walk to Stop Diabetes.
We walked for my granddaughter Aislinn who was diagosed with Type1 diabetes in December 2010. Aislinn is an amazing little girl and we're all so proud of her. It was wonderful to see so many people there to support this cause. Thank you everyone who sponsored us by making a donation.

I'm Ms. October!

I'm so excited to be a guest designer for Bombshell Stamps for October. If you're not familiar with Bombshell Stamps, be sure to check them out. They have a selection of  hot rod classics, sugar skull, tattoo and pin up inspired stamps that I know are going to be fun to use. Here's a card I made with the Mermaid Treasure set for Bombshell's September sketch challenge.

I love this mermaid and had fun coloring her with my Copic Markers. I stamped the seaweed, treasure chest and fish on the water patterned paper with Classic Brown ink to give it the silhouette look. Then I cut out the mermaid and popped her up swimming in my underwater scene. Check back and see what else I create with Bombshell's unique stamps.

Last Challenge as a Bacon Bit

Four months ago I became a Bacon Bit, a member of Hambo Stamps design team. I was so excited and a little nervous because it was my first time being on a design team. I couldn't have ask for a better experience. Hambo Stamps is the best!

The challenge this week is to CASE any card in Hambo's rubber stamp or digital image gallery.
Here is my card...

I CASED this card by Holly McMillen



I kept the layout and colors the same. I changed the shape of the sentiment and used dewdrops in place of brads.  My friend Gloria, who makes gorgeous cards, sent me a template and a tutorial on making the clouds. This is my first attempt and I love how they turned out. IRL the dragonfly's wings are very glittery.

I'll miss being a Bacon Bit but I plan to keep dancing at the Hoedown!

Hambo Stamps OWH Challenge

I've been away a few days. This was suppose to post while I was gone, but it didn't. Not sure if it was Blogger's fault or mine, but here it is even though it's a few days late.

 

This week Hambo Stamps teamed up with OPERATION WRITE HOME  to celebrate their birthday and send the cards made to the TROOPS that protect and serve our country! I used Hedgehog digi by Hambo Stamps for my Miss You card. 

 

 

 

 

If you would like to participate in the challenge, there are a few special rules this week, so check the Hoedown blog for more details.
