Welcome to Jo's Scrap Shack's 5th blogaversary birthday celebration hop day 2!

In honor of celebrating 5 wonderful years, Jo has an amazing two day blog hop lined up with 18 talented designers, several sponsors,  some of which; are among the top companies in the industry and lots of blog candy! So share this news with your crafty friends, grab your favorite beverage and hop along with us!

To start at the beginning of the hop, go visit Jo's Scrap Shack

You should have arrived here from Sherrie

I made a birthday card using a digital image from A Day for Daisies called "Butterfly Girl".  It is very apt since this blog has given me wings.  My blog was started in 2012 also after encouragement from Jo so we could share our creations and inspire one another which I am sure it has.  HAPPY BIRTHDAY Jo and your little Scrap Shack!!!!

My background is watercolored using Kuretake Gansai Tambi Water Colours.  My image was coloured using Copic Markers. This was then cut out and pasted onto a yellow mat and then onto a teal mat cut out using my Scan N Cut.  My sentiment was from my stash. I coloured it in sections to echo the watercoloring.

My nieces also got into the joy of creating with a little bit of help from Aunty Kellie and Nan.

Welcome to Funday Friday Challenge #149 over at Jo's Scrap Shack

Our theme for this week is "Anything Goes " 

Our Sponsors this week are 

Di's Digi Stamps  who give $12 voucher to shop 

Little Blue Button Stamps who give 4 digis to a single winner

I have used the LBBS fabulous digital image "You Got a Present".  

I have created my card so it can be used as either a birthday or Christmas card.  My image has been coloured with Copic and Finecolour markers and cut out using my Scan N Cut machine.

Green card was then cut to cover my card base and for my image to mount onto.  The pink/silver layer was a new experiment for me.  

I had been shown a foiling technique using Jac paper- a double sided adhesive sheet.  Having no Jac paper on hand I decided to experiment putting a piece of cardstock through my xyron machine.  Once the adhesive was applied and before removing the backing sheets I embossed the cardstock using my cuttlebug and an embossing folder.  Then removing the backing sheet to expose the adhesive I lay across a sheet of silver craft foil and rubbed with my hands.  The foil adhered to the embossed areas.  I then sprinkled pink glitter onto the areas that were not embossed to cover over the remaining adhesive.  

The photo doesn't do justice to how pretty it looks.  There are a few little spots where the adhesive has lifted.  I'm not sure if this is because the xyron hasn't been used in a while or that the adhesive is not suited to this technique.  I will be trying the foiling again for another project in the future.

Once all the layers were combined I finished my project off with liquid pearls.

I hope you join in with us - Come on get creative.

I'm excited to see what you create!

Welcome to Funday Friday Challenge #143  over at Jo's Scrap Shack

Our theme for this week -  "Its Sketch Time"

Our Sponsor this week is Robyn's Fetish who give one winner 3 digital stamps 

- I have used their fabulous digital image "Friends Forever"

I watercolored the background of my image with Brushos and created some extra grass using my fineliner pen.  I then cut it and the mat using my Scan N Cut. I doodled on the mat give it some interest.  I separately coloured another image using Copic Markers and fussy cut it adding it over the original image giving it some dimension.  The PP is from my stash.  The little bow was originally a pale pink plastic that I coloured with a Finecolour Marker I then added the little plastic flower.

Here is the sketch I used

I hope you join in with us - Come on get creative.

I'm excited to see what you create!

Have a great week

Welcome to Funday Friday Challenge #141 over at Jo's Scrap Shack

Our theme for this week is "Recycled Scraps " 

This weeks' sponsors :-

Sherri Baldy Designs 3 images to one winner
The Cutting Café  Any 3 sets from store to one winner

I have used The Cutting Café  file set "Tissue Box Cover"

This set contained files for a square and rectangle tissue boxes. 

I first converted the SVG files to those that work with my Scan N Cut on Scan N Cut Canvas.  I then cut the files using paper scraps.

Now I'm not sure if Aussie tissue boxes are a different size or if it was the conversion but my measurements were out and the box is bigger than my tissues.  I also didn't have enough coverage where the tissues exit so I improvised and added the extra PP and black to the both ends of that opening (my tissues had an elliptical opening) 

I hope you join in with us - Come on get creative.

I'm excited to see what you create!

Have a great week
