Happy August!

Whew!  It's been quite awhile since I last posted.  Done a lot during that time, and I managed to make a couple more cards.

My sister's birthday was July 29th.  I wanted to make her a card, and I really like the design I saw quite a few months ago in Paper Creations magazine.  I made a card using that design for a friend of mine back in May, and I used it again for my sister.  I did change the color scheme.


I used the Pure Innoncence ~ Birthday Princess stamp from My Favorite Things, and their Jumbo Ric-Rac Die-Namic.  I paper-pieced her dress and crown, and colored the rest in with Copic markers and Prismacolor pencils.

The next card I made because I had just got the new stamp and couldn't wait to try it out:



This is 'Make a Splash' from the Pure Innocence collection from My Favorite Things.  I also used their Sunshine and File Tab Die-Namic.  I colored her with Copics, added some glitter to the flower in her hair using a Sakura Stardust Glitter pen, and added little gems to her sandals.  I paper-pieced her swimsuit using paper from Echo Park's Splash collection.  Some of the background papers came from that collection as well.


In my last entry I showed you what I did for my niece's pretend restaurant called 'Nataliya's Cafe'.  It was a hit with my nieces and everybody that participated.  The girls were so excited when I showed them their shirts, and they were so cute taking people's orders.  I also had them put out a 'tip jar', and they got around $52!  Definitely something we'll have to do in the future. 

Do your best!
