For this month I choose a digital Image from

Fred, She Said

Kiss Me Scottie

My Best Friend has ad Scotties and will Have 2

New Scottie puppies this Christmas

So this image was a must have !!

I have made several projects with this and 

I truly cant pick a favorite.


I honestly kept finding more and more

cute card styles and then the 

Ornament  I was surprised when my 

plan worded.


This file comes with the colored images as well.
Ans I know I had to use all 3 in this slim line card.
I have a slim line die 
and 
all I had to do was size the image to fit into 
each frame.
The sentiment and papers 
came from my own statsh.


This arrow  fold card I found a tutorial
on pintrest .
I used colored pencils to 
color this lovable guy up.
Added a mini Santa hat.
Used an oval die to cut him out .
Falala is a die from my stash
and some embellishments for the finish.



I saw this card style and new this Scottie file was 
PERFECT
for it...
I cut 3 Polaroid cuts out on my Silhouette
Cameo and added the colored image of the 
Scotties.
Some great patterned papers and a seasons greeting
die cut and gems for fun.

Last but not least

Finally this quilted ornament.
 I printed the image onto 
light weight cotton fabric.
How I did it was I cut a piece of fabric and used washi tape 
to tape it to a piece of clear window sheet .
I sized the image.
I took all other paper out of my printer
and added the sheet with fabric and hit print
and it worked.
The rest are quilted fabric balls that I have been making for YEARS
 lots of videos on youtube for them.
I love love love
how this turned out.



Thanks for dropping by and 
Merry Christmas.

Hi everyone I hope this blog post finds you 
all enjoying the summer,
getting some Vitamin C
and making memories.

I live in Southern Califorina
So I get summer time for about 6 good months
out of a year.

The older I get the the less I want
the HEAT, and I could spend time
at the beach (but not all day).
I love the water 
(but yea Jaws fixed that for me
and we get sting rays out here as well)

But the idea of 
friends,
adult beverages
and conversations
is ALWAYS a good day.

My project today is to me
me and my bestie
chillin' and drinkin'
#beachlife.


I love this image and coloring it was lots of fun.

\
These two know how to have a good time
I think.

I used Spectrum Noir coloring blending pencils
 some fun summer themed paper  and die cutsfrom
Miss Kate Designs


Here is the back 

So much fun

Thanks for dropping on by and
hope to see you over at Crafty Gals Corner Challenge with your
 "summer fun" 
entry.
