Vacation!

I'm on vacation this week!  I'll be back next week with a new pattern, but in the meantime, have you checked out all of these perfect-for-summer patterns?

Plarn Wet Swimsuit Pouch -

We use this almost every day in the summer, for bringing suits home from the pool or splash pad. 

Newborn Cluster Stitch Hat - 

The circulation from the cluster spaces makes this perfect for a little one due in the hot months.

Toy Jump Rope -

Great for an uncoordinated little one to use to pretend to play jump rope outside.

Wishing you Happiness!

Here is my take on this week's challenge - Spots and Stripes.

I tried a few things with Copics on my card.  I was inspired to color hair in this style by Rosie.  I added flowers to Marci's dress and the Lantern after seeing Debra's coloring.  Thank you SO MUCH to both of you for inspiration!!!

My card features some NEW products from La-La Land Crafts.  I used our Marci with Lantern plus some of our new DIES - Filigree Corner and one of the butterflies from the Butterflies Set.  Sentiment on my card comes with Marci stamp along with the coordinating string of lanterns stamp.

This card measures 6" x 6".

  I popped Marci's lantern for a 3D effect.

Project Recipe:

Stamps: Marci with Lantern (Sentiment and Accessory Stamp INCLUDED)
Paper: Bazzill Cardstock, Echo Park 
Tools: La-La Land Crafts Dies - Filigree Corner, Butterfly, Rolled Rose (coming soon!),
Other: May Arts Ribbon, Mark Richards Pearls

Copics:

Skin - E50, E51, E53
Blush - R20, R30
Hair - BV31, BV23, BV25, BV29
Outfit - RV00, R81, R83, R85
Flowers Design - R85, T5
Lantern - YG01, YG03, YG06, YG63

Hugs!!
