MFT Cool Day Colors

 

Hi friends! Just wanted to pop in and share my card for the current MFT color challenge. I've been playing around with my gel press a bit this week thanks to the Gelli Arts ABCs of gel printing. My background is one of my prints from earlier this week. :) 

I hope you are having a good weekend. I know it's a sad one for our country here in the US on the 20th anniversary of 9-11. <3 I just don't have the words, but I know none of us will ever forget where we were that day or all the lives lost. 

Camp Create: Watercoloring

 Oops. I am behind on blogging all my crafts. It's been a bit crazy the past two weeks. I did get a card made every day in July though. :) It was a miracle. lol  Now I'm playing along with the MFT Camp Create challenges. The second one is watercoloring and I tried. It's hard for me, but I powered through it. I love the little bears in the Cool Day stamp set. I had to use the big snowflake die I recently got as I love it. 

I bought a size 2 round brush before I tried to color my image and it works much better for me to have a small brush. I may actually try it more often. I used my distress inks and just smooshed them on my silicone mat to get some ink to color with. 

I hope you're having a great week. 

MFT Cool Day Birthday

I'm still trying to get back in the stamping groove.  I had colored this bear the other day and the current sketch at MFT Card Challenges looked like a great place to use him.  I love these colors together so much!

I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday.  We had a lot of yummy food and were lucky to have my mom and Jason's family join us.  Laila had a blast and was so happy that Santa brought her the one thing she wanted more than anything, the Paw Patroller.  :) 

MFT Cool Day

Hey!  It took me like a week plus, but I made another card!  lol  I was trying to enter the MFT card challenge last week, but I didn't finish up in time.  I wanted to go ahead and put it together because I needed a card for the goodies I'm taking to my friend later.  Well, maybe.  Nobody wants to bake with me today.  Mom isn't feeling good and Laila is playing with some new toys she got from her aunt yesterday.  I don't mind baking alone, but I planned it as a family activity.  More taste tests for me, right?  :)

Here's Laila and Mom at the Polar Express last week.  They both had a blast!  Laila wasn't shy at all and got up and danced with the workers.  She gave Santa a big hug and told him she wanted the Paw Patroller for Christmas and it cost $55.  She cracks me up! I hope she enjoys that thing since she's been talking about it for two months.

Freshly Made Polar Bear

It's Wednesday, which means a new sketch at Freshly Made Sketches!   Jen B. is our awesome hostess this week.  She is not a fan of circles, so it was surprising to see one on her sketch.  :)  Of course it is really any shape, so you can do what speaks to you.  For me, it was a polar bear.  I love this guy.  I'm so ready for Fall and Winter!  Not that we have real ones here in Texas, but the cooler weather is nice.  :)
