A Lifesaver...
Happy Friday! Now that school has been out a little over a week, the days are running into one another with baseball still going on and keeping my littles busy. But, all month I had been wanting to play TCP's monthly challenge on SCS and there is nothing like the last of it to make it happen! :)
The challenge is of course up my ally of a CAS challenge. I chose the set Aye Aye Captain to create this card:
I colored in the image with Copics and fussy cut around to pop him up over the rings. The rings were also colored with Copics and I used my 3/4" round punch to cut them out and an X-acto knife to cut out the center. I strung them across some twine from Queen & Co. and adhered them with a glue dot. The sentiment was stamped and banner cut to pop up. CAS for sure.
Thanks so much for stopping by and hope your Friday is fab! (and dry! it's raining here...)

A Swimminngly Good Day - Hambo Hoedown
Happy Wednesday! It's time for another great Hambo Hoedown Challenge!
This weeks challenge is to incorporate bubbles into your project. How fun is that? I couldn't resist using a great image from Hambo called Snorkel Boy.
For my card, I colored in the image with Copics and cut him out. I then punched out circles in two sized in different colors for the bubble. I popped up all the bubbles and the image for some dimension. I finished off the card by adding Sakura Glaze over the mask and each bubble for a shiny look. Here is a close up.
It was hard to capture the glaze right, but hopefully you are able to see it. The sentiment was also popped up and banner styled at the top.
Thanks so much for stopping by and be sure to check out the creation from the other Bacon Bits!! Have a great day!

Summer Days - Timeless Tuesday 222
Hello everyone! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend with lots of warmth and good weather!!
It's time for another Timeless Tuesday Challenge and I am your hostess this week.
With summer vacation here for some or around the corner for others, the thought of lazy days, porch swings, lemonade, and children playing is not far from our minds. My challenge is to make a card or project that reminds you of summer and incorporate the breezy feel of sheer ribbon.
For my card, I couldn't resist using Kids Play because it reminds me of my children during this time of year; In constant play! I "rock and rolled" the image with Memento Desert Sand and Rich Cocoa for a dual color look. But then I felt there needed to be some green in it. I took my water color pencil and shaded a bit within the hills while blending it with my water pen. I stamped the sentiment with Memento Bamboo Leaves while the paper is MME The Sweetest Thing. I finished it off with my sheer ribbon and flower and some rhinestone flourish from Prima. I used this weeks Unscripted Sketch for my layout.
Don't forget to check out the other fabulous creations from the Timeless Tuesday Team!

Another Giveaway!
Happy Memorial Day everyone!!
While I am getting crafty today, I don't have a project at this moment to share, but I do have 2 new giveaways! I did some more house cleaning last night and came across many MFT stamp sets that have either retired or I just don't use any longer. 22 sets total. Some are still new while others are either used or gently used. There is 1 The Cat's Pajama set in there along with some AC Papers and some scallop panel papers.

There are too many sets to name but each winner will get a random selection of stamps from this stash. One person will get the scallop panels while both will receive the AC papers in a 6x6 stack. The cases are included.
Again, all you have to do is be the first 2 to comment and half this stash is yours! That's it!
Good Luck and thanks for stopping by! Hope you have a fabulous Memorial Day!!

It might be our favorite, or just one that was fun to design. If you arrived here from Kecia's blog, you are in the right place! If not, you might want to start back at the beginning at the Hambo blog to make sure you are eligible for the hopper prize!
A prize will be awarded to one participant whose Battle of the Bands' themed creation tickles the Bacon Bits’ fancy in a hammin’ jammin’ way! Another prize will be awarded randomly to a hopper who comments on all of the blogs along the way.

My creation is one I just knew I would use the moment I heard about this hop! :) It was one of my favorite bands in the 80's (Yes, I am dating myself...) and I still enjoy listening to their music. Can you guess which band I am talking about?
Yep! THE CURE!! Here is a video of one of their popular songs and one I am sure you all have heard before.
For my card, I used the Hambo Digi image of Dr. Needle which is colored in with Copics. I cut him out to be popped up on Flourishes Bookplate die. I used Pink Paislee dp of Indigo Blue which you can find at the Hambo store. I added some burlap ribbon for a more rustic feel and left the card with no sentiment to be added later.

Life Is Good... Hambo
Life is good! Especially now that summer vacation has officially started! Yesterday was the last day of school and we were very ready for it.
Yesterday was also a new challenge week over at Hambo Hoedown challenge blog. This weeks challenge is to create your own sentiment to your image. LOVE that! I can always find something new to say with some stamps when I look at them. It makes creating fun!
For this card, I used Hambo Stamps Chick Tower which is the cutest. If you look closely, each chick seems to have a different expression on their face. The third one up from the bottom is my favorite. He has the look of, "How the heck did I get talked into doing this?" while the top chick is happy as can be smelling that flower. Makes me laugh.. Which is why I chose the sentiment I did. :) Life is good at the top...
I stamped the image with Black Memento ink and colored it in with Copics. I used some washi tape for the bottom strip and top flag and some dp from MME for the other. I finished it off with some ribbon and mini flowers with some rhinestones throughout.
Don't forget!! On Friday, May 24, we will be having a customer inclusive blog hop (Sign-ups are closed). Our theme is "THE BATTLE OF THE BANDS" where we will be showcasing Hambo clear, rubber and digi images. Be sure to join us and hop for prizes beginning at 7 AM CST at Talk to the Ham!
Be sure to stop by the Hoedown Challenge to see what the other Bacon Bits have created! Thanks for popping in here!

Butterflies - Timeless Tuesday 221
Are you ready for another Timeless Tuesday challenge? This week, one of our new girls, Jenny is your hostess and her challenge is to use Butterflies.
I will be honest to say that I do not use butterflies as often as I thought I did but luckily, I had a few things I was able to use. One being the new release set of Old Tea Rose which has a beautiful butterfly stamp in this set.
For this card, I used Kraft cs as my base layering it with some striped dp from the Paper Studio and some Washi tape from Recollections. I then stamped the butterfly from Old Tea Rose twice on the base and colored it in with some watercolor pencils and accented it with my Copics. I then stamped a third butterfly on some watercolor paper and colored that in with my pencils before cutting it out. I stamped the sentiment and cut that out using the Perfectly Pierced Classic Window die set and sponging lightly inside with my distress inks. I popped up the third butterfly and sentiment, and finished off the card with some sheer ribbon, mini roses, and cotton lace trim. The mini pearls are of different colors and placed in various spots.
Be sure to stop by the other Timeless Tuesday Team blogs and leave a little love! Thanks for popping in!

Chill Out SRM Style
I don't know about you, but I am very ready for Summer vacation to start! We have two more days left of school and the boys are mentally there. :) Not to mention mom, here.. Hee...
With that mentality, I have made a quick and easy card using SRM Stickers Express yourself - Water Fun.
I used paper from AC - Margarita and fussy cut around the waves. I added a lifesaver from TCP's Aye Aye Captain set and popped it up with some twine to hang from a wave. The sun is MFT's Die-namic sun die and finished with the sentiment sticker from SRM.
Super easy and makes you dream of the water... well, at least for me! ;)
I hope you all have a great Monday and thanks for popping in!

Punch It - Hambo Hoedown
I am ready for summer and the 4th of July at the beach, so I used a super fun stamp called Uncle Ham and the coordinating sentiment.
Isn't he cute? I colored him with Copics and used Flourishes Bookplate die to cut him out. I traced the die around him and cut him out leaving the sparkler and flag to stand out. Paper Studio paper was used for the bg and the stars were punched out and layered. I finished off the sentiment using Memento Paris Dusk and some self adhesive metal dots and some ribbon from my stash. The hat is and sparkler sparkle by using some Spica pens and a Sakura pen. Here is a closer look:
Don't forget about our customer inclusive blog hop on May 24!! Today is the LAST day to sign up to join along in the fun. And it will be fun!
Our theme is "THE BATTLE OF THE BANDS" where we will be showcasing Hambo clear, rubber and digi images.

Charmed - Timeless Tuesday 220
It's another Timeless Tuesday Challenge and Broni is your hostess. Before we get on with the challenge, we are excited to welcome three new faces to the Timeless Tuesday Team and sadly having to say good bye to Cindy. Her projects and fabulous talents will be missed and we wish her all the best with her new endeavors. You can see the new team members here.
Okay... the challenge! Broni is challenging you to use blues and greens in your card/project. Such a great color combination. Here is my take:
For my card, I used the new release set of Simply Charming which I stamped on Flourishes classic ivory cardstock and colored in with this set of Copics keeping a clean look to the card.
I used some dp from K&CO that I've had in my stash along with some crochet ribbon and flower from Recollections. I completed the look with some muted green pearls from Kaisercraft and twine from May Arts.
Be sure to check out the other fabulous creations the Timeless Tuesday Team have put together and leave them some love! Thanks for stopping by!

Cultivate Love - Flourishes New Release
Happy Monday!
I have another beautiful Flourishes new release to share with you and it happens to be a new illustrator as well- Sam Pickard. This set is called Old Tea Rose.
Isn't it just a lovely set? This set had inspired me to do a little water coloring which is something I have not done in many moons! With this, I tried coloring a bit outside the lines. That was a little hard for me, but when I see that, I really love the look. I just had a hard time achieving that same look, however, still pleased with the outcome.
I stamped the image with VersaFine black ink and heat set it on some watercolor paper (cold press) before using my Ranger Distress Inks in Fired Brick, Tattered Rose, and Shabby Shutters to get the colors for the rose. I stamped those colors on my acrylic block and then used my water pen to pick up the colors. I then accented the center and the leaves with some ShinHan Watercolors (which by the way are amazing! SO vibrant) and some Faber-Castell Aqua Pencils. I finished off the card with some beaded trim ribbon, a slice of In Bloom paper from MME, and some pearls.
Although pleased with the outcome, I am still no Vincent van Gogh, but I will have to do this again. It's out of my comfort zone, but fun to do!
Thanks so much for stopping by to take a peek and wish you all a great Monday!

Relax with Paint Chips - SRM
Hi all! I hope you are having a great week. The best is that tomorrow is Friday! :)
I have a quick CAS card to share with you using a couple of SRM Stickers and paint chips. I was at the store the other day and walked past this sample of various blues. I just loved the subtle light to dark variations, that I thought I would create an easy card with it. It makes me long for the beach because of all the blues! :)
I used my 3/4" circle punch to punch out the circles and then placed them at a diagonal on the layer. For the base, I used the darker hues and cut thin strips to add to the bg. I finished it by using a sentiment from SRM's Express Yourself - Waterfun collection and a piece of Sticker Stitches. Super simple and easy. There are many different ways you can use paint chips to add a little fun color variations to your cards.

Sundae Sketch - Hambo Hoedown
Ready to get sketchy? It's Wednesday, so that means another Hambo Hoedown challenge. This week, it's a sketch and perfect for any image.
For my card, I used Hambo's image called Sundae and with a coordinating sentiment. I kept it pretty much to the sketch with no deviation, although, I do think maybe some ribbon along the bottom would have been nice... : ) I stamped the image with Memento Black before coloring it in with Copics. I stamped the sentiment directly onto the dp and finished the card by adding some Liquid Applique on the whipped cream for a little texture, along with some Stickles on the cherry. Here is a closer look:

Isn't this image just beautiful? I stamped her with VersaFine Black ink and heat set it before coloring her in with Copics. Once colored in, I cut out the image using Flourishes Perfectly Pierced Classic Window die set and sponged the inside with Antique Linen Distress Ink. I used MME's In Bloom collection for the dp and followed last weeks Mojo Monday's sketch. I finished the card by using some yummy Wrinkle Edge sheer ribbon from The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store and adding a pearl stick pin and two pearls on either side of the sentiment. Here is a closer look of the image and hopefully of some of the sparkle from the Spica pen used on the plume and sentiment.

10 Minute Teachers Cards - SRM Stickers
Happy Teacher Appreciation Week for all you educators out there! Teachers have such a tough, yet rewarding job, that I personally don't overlook that to ensure they are appreciated!
I had many teachers to thank and only so much time to get some cards done. The best quick way is using SRM Stickers to do it! It makes for quick and easy cards to knock out and get your point across.
For these cards, I used Say it with Stickers - Teachers. This set is wonderful, complete with wonderful quotes and sayings. All the cards are CAS because I really wanted the quote to be the focal point of it. I also incorporated some Twinery Twine which you can find at SRM, as well as Sticker Stiches. Another fabulous way to spruce up a card without actually "stitching!"
If you are an educator, I wish you a wonderful day, appreciated by your students and the parents. You have my support here! Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!
