Do you love to read?

It’s time for a new challenge over at the Copics Creations challenge blog sponsored by Susana’s Custom Art & Card Design

For this challenge, Susana sent everyone on the team a new stamp to work with, and we were challenged to use red and pinks and hearts on our cards.

The image that was sent to me ended up red and hearts! Alexa reading a book and the “hearts” part of the theme made me think of how much I’ve always loved to read! Check out the Copic Creations Challenge blog to see the new images the other gals used and to purchase these stamps, head to Susana’s online store!

Play a long in the challenge and one lucky participant will win a complete set – 12 of the newly released sketch markers from Copic, a $60.00 value!! What a great prize! I only have half of the new colors!!! boo! hehe

You have until August 31st, 12:00 p.m. CDT to submit your Red and/or Pink artwork and be eligible for a chance to win this prize. The winner will be announced along with our next challenge post on September 1st. Get those markers out and color!!!

So…what do you do with all these cute images??? Somebody somewhere came up with this stair step card idea and it worked so well for these girls! The tutorial was in Splitcoaststampers weekly newsletter this week and it was just the trigger I needed to get going on these images! So…without further ado, I introduce you to the Sugarplums Beachie girls!

I stamped in Memento black ink on Neenah supersmooth classic crest white card-stock and colored with copic sketch markers. Border punches by Martha Stewart and Fiskars. Sand paper from True Value! The word stamps are from a Summer set by Technique Tuesday. The sun punch is an EK Success Paperkins punch. Hope they make you smile! There is NO DOUBT it’s Summer in Iowa today…humidity off the chart and HOT! ick, stickeeeeeeee!

Boxes….so much fun for children and Mo from Mo’s Digital Pencil has captured this little guy, setting out on his journey, perfectly! I LOVE him! How many times growing up, did we use paper plates for something on a creation!!! He’s colored with copic sketch markers and die cut with nestabilities rectangles. The tracks stamp is from Stampin up and the 100% boy circle is from a Recollections clear set from Michaels. See ya later aligator!
