Private Time - New images from Coosty Creations

Sitting Waiting by Coosty Creations

This is the 2nd week of our Use a Die challenge at One Stitch at a Time (OSAAT), and one lucky winner will receive the super-duper September prize pack. StitchyBear's Digi Outlet has hundreds of digital products from many wonderful artists, one of which is Coosty Creations. 

I really enjoy using Coosty Creations' digis & paper packs (see my past projects here), so I was excited to get a chance to use her newest collection, Sitting Waiting.

My OSAAT teamies CraftyGirl and Anne Lise have also made unique projects using this fun digi collection!

I made a Potty Training Congratulations card... I don't have children, but I know what a frustrating process it can be for child and parent. So it seems like as good an occasion to celebrate as any!

In PhotoShop, I digitally paper-pieced some of the digi paper into the digi stamp image. I then printed it and colored the image with Copics, using the blender-texture technique for the floor. I used some pink flocking on her pretty boots.

Although it's almost impossible to see, I added lace & a blue background to to the window. I painted the toilet with Glossy Accents.

I created the door flap in SCAL and cut it on my Cameo. The door is cut from a shiny Core'Dinations cardstock and embossed with a SU! woodgrain embossing folder. I made a doorknob with a brad & made a little "privacy sign" with a Doodlebug tag die. I hand-wrote the sentiment with a purple glitter pen. The stars are cut/embossed from a toilet paper tube with a PageMakers die. I heat-embossed two of them with hot pink and purple.

I'm entering this card into the following fun Challenges:
Cards Galore Encore September Challenge: Make a Card
CMD-Challenge: Copics
Crafter's Cafe #81: Card for a child
Digi Sketch Challenge: Sketch and/or Theme, Girly (T)
Words 2 Scrap By: To Everything There Is a Season (I know this is a different take on theme, but somehow I think it's very appropriate! It is certainly an important part of growing up!)

Thank you for visiting, and hope you'll join us at One Stitch at a Time,

Dude Time Doodles June FREEBIE Challenge

It's that time again...for our monthly FREEBIE Challenge at Dude Time Doodles!

This month, you get a chance to work with Johnny on the Spot. Now, you might think, "How in the world would I use a toilet on card‽" Well, if the Design Team's projects are any indication, there are lots of occasions it's perfect for. Wait till you see the range of ideas, it's amazing!

Personally, I was inspired to make a "Potty Training Congratulations" card. I don't have children, but from my watching my friends' experiences I understand that this is a huge deal. So I made a card for a boy on his Big Day, ha ha!

As with most cards for small children, this is for the parents as well. I've read that people put pebbles, marbles, and even cheerios in the bowl to help little boys aim...that fact inspired the pearls.

I used a thin, brochure-type photo paper from HP's Everyday line for the Johnny on the Spot digi stamp, as well as for the large circle which I cut/embossed with a Spellbinders die.

 

Hope you'll grab this freebie and join us at Dude Time Doodles; the prize is a chance to join the Design Team for the month of July!

Update 10/24/12: I finally had occasion to send this card, to my high school friend's son, who just completed potty training! My friend is very crafty so I knew she'd get out of it. Here's the photo she posted on FaceBook:

It went through the mail great, whew! I love making cards, but I love making smiles more ha ha!
