Hello everyone and happy Monday to you!
Wow...where did the weekend go? They sure do get away quickly don't they?
I took a bit of time this weekend to play with my newest stamps from Peachy Keen. I have used sentiment stamps for a very long time, but I'm still pretty new to coloring stamped images. I'm afraid that I may have a new crafting "addiction" with Peachy Keen stamps! Their stamps are just so stinkin' cute and can be used in so many ways. I would love to take a class on using Copic Markers, but haven't been able to find one in my area. So, I'm thinking about taking an online course. Any suggestions? If you have taken an online course I would love to hear your thoughts!
While I was working on my card, I kept remembering when my boys were little (a very long time ago). I would get them all cleaned up and dressed to go somewhere, turn my back for 2 minutes...and they were dirty again...or something was torn or ripped or missing a button! Two busy little energetic little boys that are 18 months apart can be very rough on a wardrobe! Anyway, I'm going to enter my card into this week's "Anything Goes" Challenge on the Peachy Keen blog....
Notice the nasty little stains on her sweet dress! I just love the shocked look on her face - it reminds me of my boys as they listened to me rant and rave about running late and having to change clothes...again! My "boys" are now 29 and 31 years old and guess what....it really did all come out in the wash! Guess I could have saved some of that ranting and raving!
Now, the details...
* Images and sentiment from Peachy Keen July Stamp Set
* Clothes are stamped onto paper scraps and paper pieced
*Twine - The Twinery
*Laundry Basket and Cloud - Silhouette Online Store
*Buttons - The Paper Studio
*Copic Markers
*Liquid Pearls for buttons on dress
Thanks for taking a walk with me down memory lane today! And now, ironically, I need to go work on my laundry. Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a wonderful Monday!
Until next time,
Oh my gosh, Tanya, this is so awesome and fun!! I love the little girl and her shocked face!! Adding the stains to her dress is so creative and so is the twine clothesline!! This is fabulous!! Happy Monday :)

This is absolutely adorable! LOVE the clothesline, so very cute!
ReplyDeleteAdorable...and so true! The first thing that I noticed was that your kids are 18 mos apart too. Those first few months with a newborn and a 1 1/2 year old were hard. All those tears...I'm talking about mine. I remember my little daughter patting my back saying..."it ok mommy". Just priceless. Lee-Ann :)
ReplyDeletenow they're 19 and almost 18...yikes!
OMG...this card is too cute!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely adorable!! I love all the little details... it's just PERFECT! I need to play around with my PK Stamp of the Month kits, I am a bit afraid of the coloring part myself. I think your coloring is fantastic by the way... awesome job on this card! :)

ReplyDeleteThis is fabulous!! I love it all. I totally get it as our 2 are 14 months apart. 31 and 32 now but we are watching her go through the same stuff with our grandson.
ReplyDeleteTanya, this is fabulous! I lvoe the little stains and all the details you've added. Your coloring is coming along fine. I took an online class recently and learned a lot. It was very interactive and you could go at your own pace, somewhat. If you are interested they are getting ready to start another basics class. You can check them out here:

ReplyDeleteHi Tanya Lynnette here, I also have three boys oldest is 28 and youngest is 23 and i used to rant and rave about clean clothes also and hang them up on the line in town. Now on a acreage where I could I don't have a clothesline and sometimes i wish i would have one. But now my clothes get dirty because it is berry picking and pie making season here. Just wanted to share and thanks for the look back. I loved it and i love your card.
ReplyDeleteADORABLE!!! And personally I think your coloring looks AMAZING! I love the sentiment and the shocked look on her face with those stains! AHHHH Boys and their stains.... Oh how I know too well! I also ranted and such, but by the time the 3rd boy came I was over my ranting and said "Oh well" That's life.... Of course my hubby is a different story! LOL EVERYTHING he owns seems to have some stain or tear in it???? It's like I have another "BOY" running around! LOL
