Shopping with my Gal Pals!

I have some more of the after party going on here from World Cardmaking Day! This creation was from the Girls Just Wanna Have Fun Challenge from Stamping Bella over on SCS! It was hysterical - you were supposed to show something that you and your gal pals like to do together AND since the song Girls Just Wanna Have Fun is from those wild 80s years, you had to make sure the colors had an 80s flair. What's more 1980s than pink and green???

So... here we go!

I actually had this image from my pal Jackie who sent me some fun images a while back! I colored her up with Copic Markers (B26,B29,E26,E29,RV00,RV02, RV14,YG00) and after I was done, I masked the edge of my image and then sponged on some Ballet Pink Memento Ink around her to make her even more "pink!" I love this paper it's from Making Memories. Team that up with some fun flowers, some bling and... that's pretty girly!

Sorry to make this so short and sweet... I have a kiddo that needs homework help! :-)

Hope you're all having a fabulous week so far! I'll be back soon with some more fun!

Knittabella!

This little lady has been sitting in my pile of stamps that I just have to try. You know, the pile you create because you know you just have to try that stamp before you put it away and the pile gets bigger and the stamps don't put themselves away? Yes, that's the pile. Well, I decided to rescue this gal pal and give her a try. She is too stinkin' cute! I really wish we could bring the bellas to life. I know we'd have a blast. They might have us pulling a Thelma and Lousie and before we knew it we'd all be headed straight to a stamping convention! Anywho, for those of you that don't know -- knitting is my other passion. I have plenty of UFO's there too (Unfinished Objects) - two sweaters, a vest, two pairs of socks, a scarf, and a little beaded bag. Is there a support group for people like me?

On to the card! I just stamped her and colored her with watercolor pencils! Matted... and made up my own saying on the computer! Fun. I think I might stamp her out a few more times before committing her to my shelf for awhile. At least she's out of the pile!!

Until tomorrow! Don't forget to leave a comment for blog candy! I'll draw a name on "Black Friday!"
