Click on the link above or HERE to see all the details on the blog hop and then just follow a few simple rules and drop your project off so you can be in the running for some fab prizes from LeighSBDesigns!   This is the last one I promise!  This is a Hetty Clare Art image "Beach Hut".  I overestimated my ability to crank out projects but this image needed to join this blog hop!  

I had picked up a pack of pastel cardstock that turned out to be copy paper when I opened it tonight.  Sad me!  But not to be outdone I used it....glue crinkles and all!  Prismacolor pencils, Spectrum Noir markers, white acrylic paint, green Stickles patterned paper, and watercolors....I threw the whole work table at this one!  Thanks for the kind comments and visits!

Day 30 Summer Buzz Blog Hop

Click on the link above or HERE to see all the details on the blog hop and then just follow a few simple rules and drop your project off so you can be in the running for some fab prizes from LeighSBDesigns!  I am sad to see day 30 roll around 😿. I have had a rip roaring good time playing with this theme and visiting so many inspiring blogs!  But it is here and I am officially ending with a sentiment I hope everyone remembers....Bee Yourself! 

This precious image is ZenBEE Oddleigh set and the sentiment is from the Oddleigh BEE set and both are by our awesome sauce hostess Leigh at LeighSBDesigns!  The sale ends in about 8 hours from now Leigh's time so run and add to your collection!  I colored her with Prismacolor colored pencils and the flowers and bees with Distress Inks and a qtip.  I used a honey comb die cut and layered it over some yellow, gold, and orange Gelatos.  I glued her directly to the page after some really bad fussy cutting and foam popped the flowers individually and the little bee by her head.  The sentiment and some of the little honey comb pieces I just glued to the back layer.   Thanks for all the hard work Leigh puts into these blog hops and for really giving us a creative outlet during these very trying times!  Hugs and love to Leigh!

P.S. I am playing sooo much Animal Crossing on the Switch my wonderful daughter bought me for my birthday!  (Giphy image)

Day 29 Summer Buzz Blog Hop!

 LeighSBDesigns “The Summer BUZZ Blog Hop”

Click on the link above or HERE to see all the details on the blog hop and then just follow a few simple rules and drop your project off so you can be in the running for some fab prizes from LeighSBDesigns!   Don't you just love rummaging to find one thing and then finding a bunch of things you forgot you had?  That has happened to me a lot the past two weeks and today turned up some patterned paper that worked perfectly with one of the stack of colored images I have ready!

This image is a freebie at Stamplorations and ironically? I found the papers while looking for my 5 brand new, never been opened stencils from Stamplorations!  Oh well, Coffee and Flipflops does look nice with the found papers!  I colored the image with Prismacolor colored pencils and fussy cut out.  I mixed white acrylic paint with gloss medium by Golden Paints to make the delicious foam on the coffee.  The rest including the sentiment were all the patterned papers.  Some glue and mermaid lagoon Distress Ink were also used.  I couldn't find the right link to the image at Stamplorations so I linked to the store.

Night Creatures Part 2: Summer Buzz Blog Hop

 LeighSBDesigns “The Summer BUZZ Blog Hop”

Click on the link above or HERE to see all the details on the blog hop and then just follow a few simple rules and drop your project off so you can be in the running for some fab prizes from LeighSBDesigns!  I bet you thought I just had one rambling post about the beautiful, summer night creatures where I live and just stopped at the fireflies!  I again don't blame you cause it does sound like something I would do!  But here comes the other side of gorgeous flying creatures and they ain't so gorgeous in my book!  Part 2:  The Mosquitos! 

These guys are made a whole lot cuter by Scribbles Designs!  As they bite and fest on my blood, they look pretty gruesome to me!  I felt driven to express this in art form and where better than a Summer Buzz Blog Hop😆 !   I used two freebies from Scribbles Designs, the Mosquito and Moon and Stars. This piece of cardstock was just lying in a drawer all painted and splattered up nicely!  I glued it to a Dylusions journal page.  The mosquitos are colored with Spectrum Noir markers with the red in their tummies added with candied apple Distress Ink on a qtip.  I used a makeup foam to add fossilized amber Distress Ink on the moon and stars.  The sentiment might look familiar....it appeared on the Oddball Art skull cocktail and the little liquid drops on it reminded me of blood so here it is! Glued them all on the party night sky for a good time!  Have a fabulous, bite-free evening and click HERE!

 LeighSBDesigns “The Summer BUZZ Blog Hop”

Click on the link above or HERE to see all the details on the blog hop and then just follow a few simple rules and drop your project off so you can be in the running for some fab prizes from LeighSBDesigns!   Posting another quick one before my bedtime!   Bugaboo Stamps has this darling image, Flamingo Sand? in their freebie section!  That's right ...freebie!  

The sentiment is from the Plumeria Lei Marci digi stamp set by La-La Land Crafts, I had it waiting to be colored up so I grabbed it! Either my camera is getting wonky late at night or I am 😜 with the scissors!  Colored with Spectrum Noir markers and popped onto an embossed piece of paper and the sentiment popped up on foam dots!  Done and dusted!  I am really not sure what date this should be so I am not even guessing :)   Click HERE to join in the blog hop!

Flying Monkeys and Witches, Oh My!

Lost Coast Designs Portal to Creativity is nearing the end of its Background Forward Challenge.  I immediately went to the Flying Monkeys at Carmen's Veranda and the flying Witches Background stamp at Lost Coast Designs Rubber Stamps.  Two of my all time favorites!   They really need nothing added to them to make me laugh and still be a bit afraid as I remember the scenes in the movie!

All I needed were my stamps and speaking of stamps, I used the Old Typewriter Alphabet set for the sentiment!  Some glue and foam dots and it was ready to fly away!  Now I must fly and drop this is the challenge before the night fades away!

Day 28th Summer Buzz Blog Hop

 LeighSBDesigns “The Summer BUZZ Blog Hop”

Click on the link above or HERE to see all the details on the blog hop and then just follow a few simple rules and drop your project off so you can be in the running for some fab prizes from LeighSBDesigns!   I have been so inspired this blog hop by my fellow hoppers!  I am visiting ATC's again and having a blast!

The images are by LeighSBDesigns and are in the Busy Bees Collage and Sentiment set!  The cool sale is on till the 30th so go grab a few at a great price!  I printed the busy bees background twice and die cut into rectangles.  I wanted a color combo I don't usually use and the color wheel suggested aqua, pink. and yellow.  I colored all of the bees and flowers on the bottom rectangle with three shades of aqua's with the Prismacolor colored pencils.  The next rectangle I colored in pinks and the solo bee in yellows.  I colored the backgrounds in both layers yellow.  I inked a white piece of cardboard with mermaid lagoon Distress Ink and glued the bottom rectangle to it.  I lined up the images on the top layer of pink to match that.  I added the bee and the sentiment (also inked with Distress Ink) with foam dots.  A bit of white gel pen on  the eyes and easey peasey all ready to swarm!  You really will be inspired by visiting the blogs represented in this hop and might want to enter for the last two days.....who knows???  Just click HERE and be transported to blog central headquarters 😎
