Here is a new Halloween card I created for the Third Coast Challenge #6 Non-Traditional Halloween Colour Twist where you couldn’t use any green, purple or orange in the project.  I used Ralph (DT-345) for my project.  I thought he would look good in blue.  What do you think?  If you want to play along in the challenge, click on over to the Third Coast Challenge Blog and enter!

Supplies: Paper, Recollections, unknown; Stamps, Third Coast RS; Diamond Brads, Creative Imaginations; Lace Ribbon.

Hi All – Hope everyone is doing well.  Today I created a card for the Third Coast Challenge Blog, Challenge #4  Steampunk Pink – where we were to incorporate the color pink into our Steampunk Project, so I used my Steampunk Aviator Boxer (KG-145) found over at Third Coast Stamps.  If you haven’t yet participated in any of the Third Coast Challenges, be sure to hop on over there and check them out.  I promise, it’s awesome fun.  Oh, and did I mention, prizes??

Supplies used:  Stamps, Third Coast Aviator Boxer (KG-045), Paper, Graphics 45, Glitter, Brads, Thread (sewing), 3D foam, Cuttlebug (with Gears Embossing folder).

Altered bottle I made after taking one of Andy Skinner’s workshops.  Making this was so much fun!  If you like this and want to know how to create one yourself, go check out his work work!

There is a challenge going right now over at Third Coast Challenge Blog, Anything Goes + include the color YELLOW in some way.  Head on over there if you want to play too!  Rainy day today in Florida, making me a little blue, so here is a little card to reflect my less then sunny mood today : p  Hope your day is a little brighter!

Moon is from Third Coast Stamps, I used the cuttlebug to emboss two of my corner panels and then added some yellow glitter.  Other supplies: Blue Glitter Dots, Yellow Brads, Popup Foam.

It’s Christmas in July over at the Third Coast Challenge Blog!  If you haven’t had a change to play yet, what are you waiting for!?  Go check it out here: http://tcrschallenge.blogspot.com/

To get you started I’m sharing one of my Christmas cards this week.  Santa’s Sleigh (VB-083)

Other Third Coast Stamps used were the small snow covered tree CM-251 which I masked and stamped a couple of times for the background.
Thanks for stopping by!

Card created with Third Coast Rubber Stamp and Graphics 45 papers.  The shells are real and the “Sand” is Flower Soft.

Hi Everyone!  Summer is in full swing (well, at least here in Florida) and if you haven’t been to the beach yet…then what are you waiting for?!  Grab your bathing suit, snorkel, surf board, and go have yourself a beachin’ day!  That’s what our Little Surfer Dude (AP-381) decided to do today : p

Other stamps used on this were, Kraftin’ Kimmies, “Have a Beachin’ Day” Sentiment, Third Coast’s Soaring Gull (CK-089) and the Sun (CH-874)  Now the sun I had to alter a bit.  The only sun images I had were either too big or two small for this image.  This sun was just right, but the stamp is actually called Solar Nap, and I couldn’t have my sun taking a nap on such a beautiful day, so I masked out the middle and added a little glitter to him to give him a little more sparkle.  My beach sand it a cork sheet that I torn and layered in two parts.  The grass is from part of a Jolee’s Boutique 3D sticker.  The tiny shells and star fish are real, gathered from various places.  There is a shell store in St. Augustine, FL that I LOVE to shop at.  They have all kinds of goodies there.

I know it’s been awhile since I posted anything on here!  Been a busy six months!  Hopefully, I will have much more free time this summer to play!  First project, my mermaid collage.  A friend of mine owns a windows treatment and blind store and they get these sample books with the different types of blinds and shades that are available. When the blinds are discontinued or the books are updates, she no longer has use for the old books and she gives them to me to see if I can recycle into something crafty. So I used it as a background for my mermaid beach collage.

Supplies: Mermaid Stamps – Third Coast RS; Shells, Pearls, Jolee’s Stickers.

I created this card for today’s sketch challenge over at Splitcoast Stampers.  Not sure what you get a dragon for Christmas, but whatever it is, it probably needs to be fireproof, huh?

After coloring my little guy with Copics, I cut him out to pop him up for a more 3D effect.  I then colored his tail one more time and popped that up again.  The snowflakes are made of foam and the paper is from the Paper Studio.    Stamp:  Third Coast RS

Supplies:  Stamps:  Third Coast, Foam Snowflakes, Blue Jewels, Blue Brads, Foam Tape.  Paper:  The Paper Studio.  Colored with Copics
