Lilli Claire~

Happy Monday to you... As much as I love a long weekend with my family I am so glad that it's Monday. For me it means that the boys are back at school, Hubby is at work and if I can get the girls to take a nap then Mama gets to stamp! Yahoo! Tomorrow is the last day to enter the Tiddly Inks Design team call. I absolutely love Tiddly Inks. They are just so darned sweet! A few weeks ago I was lucky and won a $10 Gift Certificate. Those adorable new (to me) digi's have been printed and sitting in my desk drawer luring me with their siren song. "Come play with us!" they called... Today was the day! The current Tiddly Ink's challenge is Anything Goes.

I grabbed some My Minds Eye paper and got inky! This cutie patootie is Lilli Claire. I ♡ her! She is colored in with Copics and mounted on a scallop circle spellbinders. A touch of Offray ribbon and three random buttons finish the card. Easy peasy. Thanks so much for stopping by. TTFN~

 

Higgelty~

Run by post~ I wanted to share my Tiddly Ink Halloween Is Coming challenge card with you.

 

This is Tiddly Inks Higgelty. I think she is absolutely adorable. As you can probably guess she is colored in with Copics and surrounded by MME designer paper. This card is based on October's Sketch For You To Try sketch.

  Thanks for stopping by!

Student of the Week~

My Kindergartner came home super excited on Monday. He had been named Student of the Week! This is apparently a much sought after title amongst his class mates. I was so proud of him that I knew I wanted to make him a little something special. I thought what better then a pan of his favorite brownies and a homemade book mark. How perfect for me that the challenge this week at Tiddly Inks is "Boys will be boys."! 

 Just the theme that I needed and lucky for me they have absolutely adorable boy digis too! FABULOUS!!! I kept the design pretty basic by following this weeks Deconstruction Sketch. 

 

 Our school boy is colored in with Copic Markers and then I inked the edges of the cardstock with Close to Cocoa ink. The pattern paper is My Minds Eye, Away We Go collection. I LOVE their paper! For the fancy border I used The Cat's Pajamas Apron Border Die. I cut it out three times and layered the negative and positive pieces. I was really pleased with the way that it turned out. Lastly, I added a strip of SU! Dusty Durango ribbon and three paper buttons. All the bling and none of the bulk. I felt that it was important to keep it as flat as possible, since it is after all a bookmark! I am going to run it through the Xyron to laminate it. That's all for today. As always thanks for stopping by! Ciao~
