This Lawn Fawn sloth is so sweet and I am happy to finally put together a couple of cards with him! As I've mentioned I am loving this Close To My Heart paper collection and thought these leafy vines would be perfect to pair with my sloth. I started with the awesome sketch from Laurel at Sketchy Saturday and played around with some of the elements, adding some clear gumdrops for some of the circles!

I've been eyeing this yoga stamp set from Penny Black for years and this Christmas someone finally bought it for me - yay! This particular stamp reminds me of a good friend and her love of yoga and icecream! I loved colouring this fun image up with my Tombow markers. I'm hoping this will be the first card in a yoga set :). I used the Sketchy Saturday layout for this card.

I was able to get into my craftroom on the first day of the year, but it took me a couple days to finish off this card. I was excited to play with some new items I got for Christmas and thought it best to make my husband's birthday card since it always sneaks up on me. I set to work with Sketchy Saturday design but I was feeling more of a horizontal card for this one. These Lawn Fawn papers paired with the stitched snowflakes just scream "wonderful winter" to me, so I am also linking up with the Lawn Fawnatics challenge. I decided to make a few variations of this card using the different plaids from the pack.

I've been waiting to bust out this super fun cocktail paper I picked up on my recent trip to Ontario and after getting some inspiration from my Aunt and Sketchy Saturday, I set out to create something fun! I loved using a watercolour technique with my markers sitting by the lake this past weekend to colour up these fun cocktails :).

Here is an image that I coloured up with copic markers while I was visiting my aunt in Ontario. This was again one of my first times using copic markers and with her expertise I was able to use them and create some awesome images! I decided to use the elements of this week's Sketchy Saturday to turn this fun blueprint image into a birthday card.
Here is a more closer look:

Yay, I got another card finished to play along with the Spring & Summer Coffee Lovers Blog Hop! I am especially excited about this card because I made it while visiting my very talented and crafty Auntie Karen after we went to visit a cute local shop called The Workshop out in Stouffville, Ontario. It is also the first time, believe it or not, that I have ever used Copic markers! These Tim Holtz blueprint stamps are a favourite of mine and I was stoked to find some coffee themed ones. I found a great sketch through Sketchy Saturdays and I love how it turned out :)
