Good Day Sunshine

Yes, here's another for the fabulous Summer Coffee Lover's Blog Hop using another fun digi from Bloobel Stamps.  No, I'm not on her Design Team, in fact, Lisa doesn't even HAVE a design team.  I just love her quirky digis and there are so many that fit the appropriate theme.  Meet Morning Mom.  You might notice that I tend to color (with Copics) all of these chicks with red hair.  Although I'm not a Mom (except to furbabies), I can relate to these characters on so many levels so what can I say?  I do spend more than a fair share of time in pj's, have hot pink velcro rollers, am less than perky prior to coffee and can't wait 'til wine o'clock.  I've added the stamped and die cut sun and "coffee" die cut from super sponsor Verve to join in the Sunshine theme for the Outlawz Festive Fridays.

I'm gonna be so bummed when this Hop is over.

I'm also adding this to the DL.Art June Linky Challenge, Lil Patch of Crafty Friends #60 AG, Star Stampz Bright /Sunshine, TTPH Spots and/or Stripes, TTRCD Week of June 27 AG and Simon Says Wednesday AG.

Summer Coffee Lovers Blog Hop Meets Outlawz Wednesday Sketch

I'm finding it's kind of a bitch not to be prepared when something you really want to participate in comes along, but you don't want to ignore your regular challenges either.  So here we go again.  Another for the Summer Coffee Lovers Blog Hop using the sketch from the Outlawz Wednesday Sketch challenge. (again, last day for this sketch.  Procrastination is my middle name)  The image again is Bloobel Stamps.  If you look down my blog, you'll see that this is the 4th Bloobel project this week.  What can I say?  I love her fun quirky stamps and they seem to be fitting all my projects at the mo, so there ya go.  This stamp is called Just One Coffee.  She's colored with Copics and I actually had the nerve to stamp the sentiment with some Verve (super sponsor) clear stamps right on the page AFTER I colored.  Yay, ME!  I used the new Distress Oxide ink and I've had some pretty good luck with that.  The banner dies are from La la Land and I've used the same digi paper (this time in the primary colors).  I did finally find where it came from, so if you asked and missed my reply from yesterday, you can find Java Love from Laureling Studios HERE.

Here's the sketch.

Here's the Hop.

The Outlawz Tuesday Color Challenge Meets the Summer Coffee Lovers Blog Hop

Wow!  Didn't expect to be back again so soon but realized I needed to do a project IMMEDIATELY if I wanted to play along with this past week's Tuesday Color Challenge on The Outlawz Forum.  The "twist" this week is Anything but a Card which threw me into a bit of a tizzy until I remembered my  Sizzix BigZ 3D Teacup die which would also work for the Summer Coffee Lovers Blog Hop. WooHoo!

I decided to cut the tea cup in white and add other colors with the embellies.  To add a bit of interest I embossed with a Cuttlebug folder.  The sentiment on the tea tag is from Verve Stamps (a super sponsor) stamped with Distress Oxide in Broken China.  Twine is from another Super Sponsor DL.Art.  Flowers and leaf from my stash and I've it filled with green tea with ginger.  Here's the inspiration photo from Tuesday Color.

Summer Coffee Lovers Blog Hop

Here's a quickie for the Summer Coffee Lovers Blog Hop.  This fab event happens 4 times a year for coffee, tea and cocoa lovers and the inspiration and sponsors are beyond amazing. However, I've been having so much fun hopping that I haven't posted any cards.  Yikes!  Of course I could have made a head start, but that's not my system.  So here's a quickie using the hilarious Lost Tea digi from Bloobel Stamps.  Obviously from the sentiment, my chick isn't spitting out tea, but that coffee impostor, also known as DECAF!  She's colored with Copics and cut with a Double Stitched Circle die from super sponsor Kat Scrappiness.
*EDITED*  I FOUND the DIGI PAPER! Yay, me!  HERE it is!
