Boo - the not so innocent kitten!

I based this on the project 12 sketch and a challenge at Scrapshotz - to use tickets.  Boo, although seemingly the follower, he can get into his own trouble, too!

Buffalo Stamps and Stuff Friday Sketch

OK - so, this sketch is from the 23rd of July.  I still liked the sketch and wanted to try the Tim Holtz tattered floral dies with Moda Basic Grey Fabric - Blush. I found while shopping at a quilt store with my mom.  I added in some grunge paper to give it dimension and strength.  The button is one of Tim's embellishments.  I used Spun Sugar on the grunge paper.  The pp is from Bo Bunny - Jazmine.

Magnolia-licious Highlightes

The DT at Magnolia-licious challenged everyone to make a T-slide card.  Instructions can be found at their blog link.  It was a challenging card to make!!  A lot of work, but I really like the finished project.
Thanks for stopping by!

Using my copics, I airbrushed the sand and sky and masked the bride and groom with the background. The paper is all from Magnolia as well.  The jump rings and metal tag (that says cherish) are both Tim Holtz.  The ribbon and wine goblet charm are unknown.

Dotty Dots!!

Over at Simon Says Stamp's Blog, they are having a challenge - Dotty Dots!! So, I took some Wendy Vecchi stamps, some Tim Holtz hardware and a Maya Road wood bingo calendar number, as well as some bazzill dotted swiss cardstock.  I used my ink blender tool with the distress inks to get my colour onto the grungepaper!
