Summer Butterflies -- mixed media canvas

I love seeing all the mixed media and journaling projects that have been so popular lately. This gal was created using a Unity stamp from Christy Tomlinson, along with Hero Arts Music Background and Friends Definition.

The canvas is small and I decided to just stamp half of this gal for a different look. Ranger White enamel accents came in handy for a bit of texture and Claudine Hellmuth's matt medium is a must have for applying paper to your canvas.

My neighbour decorates weddings and is always sending my hubby home with Flowers. I love the layers in this soft pink bloom. Just amazing!

I've also been doing a bit of late night baking. Which also means late night eating too. Yikes!

Lemon Zucchini loaf from Pintrest found here.

My Hubby pulled a name for the K&Co Stickers from my last post "mini giveaway"

Yay Leslee!! I will contact you for your snail mail details :)

Tomorrow's Friday and a long weekend! Hope it is a good one for you :)

Will a kiss make it better?

Its been a busy few weeks trying to get the most out of Summer before it ends. Made Peach Jam this week and also attended a friends beautiful backyard party!

Unfortunately, I seem to be a walking hazard to myself lately. Started with banging my arm on the side of the deck, then while hanging laundry a walnut dropped from our huge walnut tree at high speed hitting the same arm. Few days after that I managed to badly burn my arm on the kettle while making the morning coffee....

Does anyone have some bubble wrap and a helmet I can use?? LOL :)

Anyways, its all good, and luckily I have a Nurse sitting behind me at work (thanks Miss K!! )

Thought this sweet Unity stamp had the perfect sentiment!

close up using Copics and creating a background for this sweet scene!

Also wanted to share a photo of my Friends Sweet daughter and her pup. I thought this photo was totally perfect for this stamped scene. This sweet gal is now in high school and just returned home after taking a Summer Science credit in Mexico. How cool is that? (Welcome home Miss B)!

I have a few K & Co Sticker Sets and would love to do a mini giveaway. Just leave a comment and I will have hubby pick a name next week!

Enjoy the rest of the weekend!!

Summer Boy

Happy Friday! Hope you have some Summery plans for this weekend. We only have 2 weeks left in Aug (can you believe it?) this Summer is flying by!

I made this card for Kraftin' Kimmies Fruit Challenge found here! Its coloured with Copics along with some added sewing stitches.

I recently purchased a fluorescent copic marker which I already had so I thought I would add a pack of embellishments and some of my favorite ribbon gems and do a mini giveaway. I will draw a name from comments left on this post (will ship worldwide!).

Copic Marker is FYR1 Fluorescent Orange

Just a few of my favorite things this Summer!!

If you not familiar with Timbits they are the inside of a donut (hole)! Super yummy and their orange caramel is a super Summery flavor!!

I took this photo last weekend at one of my favorite little towns with their shops all decorated for the Summer. I hope to go back and visit again soon.

Hope you are enjoying the Summer!!

thanks for stopping in!

Summer Angel

Just a quick post tonight. I've been colouring some Kraftin Kimmie images and made a little scallop card! I really love this stamp as I think it can easily be transformed from a Christmas Stamp and used for a Summer Design. You could even take off the wings and again change her from an angel to a sweet gal! Lots of options here, which I like!
