The Scrappy Chick

Fun in the Sun

Greetings from sunny Florida!  It has been an insane week around the house with all the hours worked getting ready for the Stamp & Scrap EXPO at work!  I feel like I haven't stamped or blogged in ages...sorry!

But, a quick post today while I am waiting for the hubby to get ready to head to the pool.  Here is a quickie layout that I created with some new Stampendous stamps:)  Fun in the Sun and the journaling stamp (I forgot to write it down and I am in the hotel, sorry)  This is a pic of my little guy from about 5 summers ago!

Paper is Snorkel line from Cosmo Cricket...ribbon is May Arts, buttons by SU! and Basic Grey.

I may post a bit more this week in the downtime...hoping to sneak a minute to get to the customer CHA show this weekend!

Fun in the Sun

I was in Michael's the other day and guess what?  they had new Stampendous stamps...so of course I couldn't resist!!

The beach chair is from a new set called "Fun in the sun".  Too cute!  I stamped it 3 times and colored them with my copics with fun summery colors then mounted the image on some Happy Trails K & Co paper.  Perfecto...nice & simple and thats it!  Sentiment is from another Stampendous set..."Mum Messages".

We are crazy busy over at Enchanted Cottage this week getting ready for the Stamp & Scrap EXPO this weekend so I haven't had a ton of stamping time :(  But we are getting some cool stuff in the store!)

I am going to leave you with one more fun card this morning.  This is cling "Changito Scuba" and he is swimming in the vase from "Shapely Vases"  (both also from Stampendous).  He is such a hoot.

Papers are from the Cosmo Cricket Snorkeling line.  The sentiment is from "Two You"  (Stampendous).

so, I gotta run...have a great day!  I will try not to be on such limited time...haha.

Class layouts

Here are a couple of layouts for you.  I think I have shown you my versions of these, with the pics a while back.  These two are for my July scrapbook mini camp at Enchanted Cottage.  (my Local gals let me know if you want me to save you a kit)

The pages use Bungle Jungle pp line from Sassafras Lass...cs is all Bazzill.  The letters are stamps from Technique Tuesday...as are all the tile or chipboard pieces.  I used the Fundamental Rings tiles for both pages.  You can see them on the blank large circles that were inked...plus all of the small circle and pinwheel elements are raised up on the tiles as well.

Other elements include buttons from Basic Grey, Bo Bunny & May arts ribbons, dimensional adhesive, and cats eye chalk inks.    -Cyndi

Let it Rain!

Don't know about you, but I am ready for some rain!  It is just too stinkin' hot for my blood!  So...here is Changito for you, out playing in the rain :)

This is "Changito Slicker", from Stampendous.  I absolutely adore this image!  One of my favorite ever Changitos :)  He (she)  is colored in to match some of the "Girl Friday" paper line from Cosmo Cricket. 

The flowers were created with a Spellbinders die, airbrushed with my copics, then I added dots with my white pen.  (Idea from Tori Wild of Wild Sprinkles).  Turned out totally cool!   so then I had to add some matching white dots to part of Changito's outfit of course!

OK, off to run errands then we get to see the new Harry Potter this afternoon!  Yippee!!!

Randy Reindeer

Where, oh where have I been?  Oh, just busy with kids and such.  sorry.

Here's a card I made for work last week.  We'll soon be carrying Unity  stamps!  This is Randy Reindeer...he used to be in a kit, now he's available as a single :)

I used papers from scenic Route and Core'dinations cardstock.    The "Happy Holidays" sentiment is also a Unity stamp, from Birds of a feather set.

On my final sample at work I tied some gold jingle bells to the bow and it was way cuter!  Bells on the collar are highlighted with new Buttermilk Spica pen.

More tomorrow.  Sorry to be so scarce lately.  -Cyndi

Happy 4th Stampendous Style

Happy 4th of July to all of my American friends!  This is a combo of a couple of different Stampendous stamps.  (BTW, did you notice that I was the guest stamper on the Stampendous Impressions blog a couple of days back??  Hehe)

The bees are a cling stamp called Bee Trio.  I decked them out in patriotic colors then added a sign to ones hand with a piece from "Freedom Cupcakes" a cling set.  Its popped up with a couple of dimensionals.  The background on the red layer is stamped with a background stamp from the same "Freedom Cupcakes" set in StazOn white, but it wasn't dark enough for me so I went over the image with my Signo uni-ball white pen.

The flower is also dotted with the same pen to add a bit of somun' somun' to it too.  The bees wings are covered with white ultrafine pearl glitter (also by Stampendous) and the antenae are dotted with Christmas red stickles  (I need some red glitter I guess)

Here's a closeup of the flower, the wings, and the enhanced background stamping.  Supplies are listed below.  Layout for the card is this weeks sketch over at Our Creative Corner.
