<br />
I am hosting this week over at The Friday Mashup and I thought it would be fun to try and incorporate the styles of a particular decade into projects.<br />

I've finally found my crafting mojo... Not too long ago, I ran into a friend of mine at my (somewhat) local craft store, and how unlikely it was since she's not even from here! Sharing in the excitement of new goodies and talking about techniques really got me inspired again.<br />
<br />
One item I added to my stash is making an appearance on this card for the latest<a href="http://colourmecardchallenge.blogspot.ca/" target="_blank"> Colour Me...! </a>challenge. I'm very quickly falling in love with distress inks.<br />
<br />

<br />
This project started with this absolutely darling little witchy Wryn from Tiddly Inks. I didn't quite get the blend I wanted to on her robe, so I added some stars and sparkle with a white gel pen. Then I sat and stared for a few days before I could decide on the background!<br />
<br />
I sketched out this little cauldron and was going to piece together a little scene, but decided instead that I'd add some distress inks to the pot and the background, and use my Copics to sketch in a little cobblestone ground.<br />
<br />

I absolutely love this effect, but up to this point, haven't tried it out!<br />
<br />
I had a bunch of ideas on what I wanted to do (a list of about 5-6 different plans!), but decided on this design because I loved the sparkle paper SO much!<br />

<br />
I love these little bag-in-a-box bags... They are super sweet and really great for giving small gifts. I hope to make a few of these to give teach gifts this Christmas.<br />

This week at <a href="http://www.fridaymashup.com/" target="_blank">The Friday Mashup</a>, Lisa has us going fishing (or hunting) and using a great rugged colour palette.<br />

I will admit, I find green to be one of the hardest colours to use! But Mossy Meadow has such a vintage winter/christmas feel to it, that I immediately went 'there'.<br />

My (little) baby is starting kindergarten this year and I've been a bit emotional about it. Sheesh, I thought the first one was hard - but knowing that I'm sending my baby is proving to be challenging as well!<br />
<br />
I wanted to make him a little card for his lunch (as I do for the older dude as well), and this is what I came up with. I had tons of fun with this crayon die from Taylored Expressions!<br />
<br />

This little lady is called "Lucky Tara" and I just couldn't resist her! Aside from sharing the same name, she's absolutely darling. I've recently become absolutely addicted to Make It Crafty and their gorgeous stamps. I have a whole line up of Christmas cuties as I prepare for <a href="http://www.thedailymarker.com/" target="_blank">Kathy R</a>'s 30 day colour challenge in October :)<br />
<br />
Speaking of colour challenges... while we all anxiously await October, Kathy has a super fun 4-day <a href="http://www.thedailymarker.com/2015/08/its-two-challenges-giveaway/" target="_blank">pop up challenge</a>!<br />

We don't have 'state' fairs around here (mainly because we don't have <i>states</i>, I guess, haha), but going to our county fair was always the highlight of my summer/fall.<br />
<br />
In fact, the first year I ever missed going to my hometown fair was when I was giving birth to my youngest son. Now, he usually celebrates his birthdays at the fairgrounds :)<br />

With all that being said, I had a hard time deciding what to do for my project this week. I wanted to incorporate cotton candy and the 'prizes' you win from the games. I decided to try my hand at drawing my own image for this challenge. I call her Cotton Candi. She's a bit angrier than I had intended her to look though!<br />
<br />
Check out the challenge this week:<br />

I bought this stamp set a long time ago from my local craft store, and have yet to really use it. It was the best $2.98 I've ever spent! The lovely stained glass images are just gorgeous, and so much fun to colour. </div>

I started with this absolutely adorable image from 2CuteInk. I coloured it (very simply) with Copics and backed it with some Wild Wasabi CS from Stampin' Up! The Honeycomb DSP in the background is from Echo Park "Fine and Dandy" collection and I just adore it. The flipside of this is a sweet little buzzing bee design.<br />

I finally broke down and bought this super fun set from Tim Holtz. I'd seen it around blogland for so long and just loved it, so when I spied it at my local craft store I just had to snatch it up.<br />
<br />
I can foresee a lot of fun colouring with this set :)<br />
<br />
Here's the challenge this week:<br />

<br />
I have so many fun embellishments that I can spend all day trying to decide which one to use on a project... only to end up not using any! So this week, I've challenged you to make a cluster of embellishments on your card somewhere (and mash it up with some ombre effects if you'd like!)<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I started by creating the ombre background with some copics and then got busy with the embellishments. That cute little dynamite dude is from <i>Your Next Stamp's</i><b><i> </i>"Boom!" </b>set and is absolutely darling. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I filled up my cluster with a silver glimmer film frame, a start cut from bokeh DSP, a super bright orange arrow, some twine, a few candy dots, and some of the square glimmer bits from the film frame cutout. </div>

I found a box of watercolours while cleaning out our basement, so I thought I would give them a try. At first I had different coloured butterflies scattered (from the challenge colours), and then I thought it would be cool to punch them out from the leftover watercolour wash that I had done for the panel!</div>

<br />I wanted to send her a thank you card for making the weekend so special for us, and since we visited an aquarium while we were there, thought this fun set from Your Next Stamp would be the perfect fit!</div>

<br />
This week we have a new challenge over at <a href="http://colourmecardchallenge.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Colour Me...!</a> where we are going monochromatic and using Crisp Cantaloupe - love this colour!<br />
<br />

I started this card with a vague idea of what I wanted to do, but I have to admit that a lot of it came together as it was being created. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
For the Bokeh background, I sponge Crisp Cantaloupe across a piece of white cardstock. Using my own template for the circles, I started sponging them in with white Stazon.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The "always" was die cut from a strip of cardstock, but once it was on the card, it looked too plain. I added a background using the <i>Hardwood</i> background stamp from Stampin' Up! All the gold was added at the end, just for some fancy :)</div>

I finally got a new printer that seems to like me. So far, we're off to a very, very good start. I think I see a 5th date on the horizon. What this means, is now I can print off all the digital stamps I want and just do nothing but colour all the time (without the horrid Copic-killing streaks I was getting with my old setup).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Hello beautiful world!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So here we have <i>Bathing Beauty</i> in all her beach-ey goodness. Oh, I can't wait for summer :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I didn't have the right Copics for this colour challenge at all, so it took a bit of fussing to combine colours to get the right shades I needed. If you're curious about the weird combinations in the supply list below, that's why!</div>

I started with this super festive DSP from the Nordic Noel paper pack from Stampin' Up! I'd been just dying to use this new Wplus9 stamp set I got, and I thought him swinging in to say Happy Holiday was perfect. </div>

The Elf and ornament is coloured in Copics, with a bit of white Gel Pen accents. The ornament has a layer of Wink of Stella as well, which comes out looking a lot nicer/cooler in real life!</div>

I'd like to say we've been getting a lot of spring rain here lately, and we sort of have... But they are also now calling for snow again, so I'm pretty much giving up on Spring altogether and looking forward to summer :)<br />

I absolutely adore this sweet little Ducky Dance digi from Tiddly Inks. I coloured this one using my son's Crayola pencil crayons. </div>

He sees me digging through his drawer of art supplies and grab the baggy with a billion pencil crayons in it (3/4 of that billion are just doubles of ones he already has) - he says to me "are you borrowing those?" I say "Ya. Is that cool?" he says "Yes, but why aren't you using your Copics?!". I couldn't help but laugh. I told him variety was the spice of life, and then we got in a long discussion about what that means and how he doesn't like spices...</div>
