INSPIRED BY - #IB184 PENGUIN LOVE

Happy Thursday!

Hope you are having a great weeks so far? It's time to carve out some stampin' time with this weeks Inspired By Challenge....

Here is this weeks #IB184C inspiration photo....along with this weeks sketch....

My inspiration came from the penguins, the colors, the Christmas theme and the sketch.

Once again I was digging through my poor unloved stamps stash and came a cross a very old set that I received during one of my DT gigs. It's super adorable and it was perfect for this fun penguin challenge. 

The images were colored with Copic Markers. The background was created by dabbing Red Ink on a Stamping Block and misting it with water. Next I smushed it on the White CS and added some SU Gorgeous Grunge spots. At last I added these sweet Wooden Stars.

Now it's time to dig out your fun penguin stamps!!! Happy stampin' !!! ~SL~

TIC TAC TOE CHALLENGE - #TTTC127 SPECIAL TEACHER

Hello again...I'm back with my second card of the day. 

Now it's Tic Tac Toe Challenge time...

Here is this weeks #TTTC127 challenge board....

For this card I chose the middle column down - CAS, FREE AND TEACHER.

My CAS card design started out with a small 3.75" by 3.75" Kraft card base. Next I added a 3.5" White card stock. The apple images and matching dies are from an old Reverse Confetti Set called - All Apple. For my "free" option I added some Gold Halfback Pearls....voila.

Now, it's your turn to put a smile on a teachers face :) !!! ~SL~

My inspiration came from the "Mouse" theme and the colors.

I have been loving the super cute Mouse images from the Colorado Craft Company and could't resist getting myself one.
