Coffee Lovers Blog Hop Day 2 - Here Comes The Sun!


Welcome to Day 2 of the Summer 2017 Coffee Lovers Hop!  I'm back with some more Brentwood!


Today I'm using the freebie that JessicaLynnOriginal is sharing for the hop and you can get it here!  Love to see Brentwood so relaxed... still in his jammies sitting in his nicely decorated bachelor pad... he has such an eye for decor don't you think?


I decided that Bachelor Brentwood would be the plaid recliner/wood paneling kind of guy.  I personally like plaid and wood and that's fine with me!  I love that this cup is blank and you can add whatever you'd like to it or just color it.  I made a little desert scene on mine.  I was coloring with Copics so I penciled in the cactus drawing first and then finalized it with my Copic multiliner pen and then made sure all of the pencil lines were erased before adding the ink.. once you color over a pencil mark with a Copic marker it's there for good.  Then I colored in my cactus and background... I'd buy that mug!


I decided that my sentiment would be a wall hanging... at first I was going to make the picture on the wall a picture of perhaps a Mrs. Brentwood, but I really didn't have room for that.  So, I pulled up this awesome sentiment and sun that Verve shared during one of the past coffee hops and was able to size it perfectly for my space... 


I've had this window die from Memory Box for quite some time and just hadn't gotten around to using it... why?  I don't have any idea because it's awesome!  I cut my background for my outdoor scene to size and then created my background with my copics.

I wasn't really planning on curtains, but that area needed something because the bottom of the card was too heavy for the top and then I came across the perfect "fabric" for Brentwood's curtains... this was from a paper pad I got quite a while ago too, Happy Day from Pebbles.  Now, there are quite a few awesome printed pieces in this pack...but seriously.. I bought it for the two pieces of coffee cup paper ... lol!  Don't judge... I know you'd do the same!


And finally I knew Brentwood needed a friend to share his morning coffee with.  Don't worry... he's the kind of owl that would much rather drink his morning coffee than chase after mice.  That cute little guy is from CDD and the cactus digi from Bella Parodi was already printed in the perfect size and made the perfect "houseplant" for Brentwood.

So thanks for stopping by again!  I'll be back soon with some more coffee goodness! And don't forget to checkout the Coffee Loving Cardmakers blog for all the details about this awesome and fun hop including a huge list of awesome sponsors!

Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #201


Welcome to this week's Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge!

So I have this Instagram Friend... and we've been following each other for quite a while and we always give the love when it comes to each other's creations.  Recently she opened up a Digital Stamp Shop and as soon as I saw the adorable Cacti digis she had I had to have them!  Especially considering my anniversary is coming up soon and my husband and I after (a lot) of years are both a little prickly.  But we love each other!  Plus living in the desert, I've grown quite fond of the little pain in the butts!  So I knew this one would be perfect for a card for him for our anniversary...


Aren't they so cute!!!  And there are a couple other digis that I got that I'm sure I"ll be sharing soon.  In my usual fashion I printed a few out in varying sizes because as I was discussing with another crafty friend this weekend, I never really know what I'm gonna do until I put hand to marker/scissors/paper.  But this one was perfect for the sketch!

So if you love these cuties and want to know where to find them, the shop can be accessed through Instagram here and it's called Bella Parodi... you should check it out... she's just getting started but there are a few really adorable digis...


And when I was working on this one I was wishing I'd brought some of my cute cactus sentiments I've collected, but then I pulled out this oh so adorable die from Paper Smooches that I literally had just gotten... I even had to crack open the plastic to use it... don't you just LOVE it and that sweet font?

So thanks for stopping by and be sure to come on over and play along with us at Atlantic Hearts!  We're waiting for you!
