For The Birthday Boy...... MINE! + Sale/Coupon Code Expires today!

Today, my one and only, my teenage son, turns 15.  Lord help us!  Actually, he's a good kid, although he knows how to work the teenage attitude here lately... he's getting really good at testing those boundaries.  Can I get an Amen?

Since he's so good at sarcasm, I thought I'd add a twinge of it myself, to this Adornit birthday card.  I'm using the "Sunshine" Art Play Paintables designed by Laura Kelly, along with Adornit Blender paper.  There's a four day sale at Scrapbook.com that ends today, Dec. 18th at midnight.  Get an additional 10% off your entire order using coupon code SAVEBIG .  I've got affiliate shopping links scattered about for your shopping convenience.  Yes, I'm somewhat of an enabler, I know.

These are the super fun images, below, that can be colored or painted with just about any medium; colored pencils, watercolors, distress inks, etc.  I should mention that the little wordy chat bubble above was put together by myself using word stickers and a birthday stamp.

Adornit.com is also having a big sale.  Use code adoreme20 at checkout to get 20% off your order.  You'll find the watercolor pencils, waterbrush that I've used today, and the blender paper there as well.  The selection of blender paper is limited at scrapbook.com but you can check it out here, if you like.  If you decide to shop at adornit.com, when you use your coupon code at checkout, you can also put my name (Terri Burson) in the notes section as a referral.  It just helps me score a little mojo love from Adornit, that's all.  Hurry though, the code expires soon.

I hope you enjoy doing a little crafty shopping.  It's always better when a coupon code is available, right?  The rest of my day will be filled with birthday events for the boy and our church's Christmas musical/drama in which I will be singing.  It's going to be a great day!

Merry Christmas!

Batty for Adornit and The Hop to Stop Domestic Violence

Today, I'm creating my third project for The Hop to Stop Domestic Violence, hosted by Becca Cruger from Damsel of Distressed Cards.  Purple is the color designated for domestic violence.  Please, feel free to join in by linking up your newly created "purple" card, as well.  Hurry,  though, the challenge ends Sunday, Oct 30th at noon CST.

I wanted to make one more Halloween card, and decided to watercolor this Adornit image with my Tombow dual brush markers.

This Adornit Art Play Paintable image is from the "If the Shoe Fits" collection, designed by Michele Hamilton.  I'm also using new Adornit scrapbook papers designed by Laura Kelly.  They will be available soon online but are already making their way to local scrapbook stores now.

I thought the Batty image would be fun to color for my purple theme, plus, what child wouldn't love to receive this adorable card?  Becca is donating cards to her local women's shelter and is accepting anyone's cards that are linked up to the challenge, if they wish to contribute.

Link up your newly created "Purple" card, here.

You can check out all the Art Play Paintables available at Adornit, here.

Grandma's Special Soup With Adornit

This is my second project that I'm sharing today, some good old fashioned homemade goodness; Grandma's Special Soup.  This is actually from the new OCCASIONS Art Play Paintables Collection designed by Lindsay Ostrom, for Adornit.

For this project, I chose to use my Zig Clean Color brushes.  I wanted to get the true feel of that favorite can of soup that we all know and love, and I like the way that they blend.  I'm particularly fond of the grey.  It shades nicely from light to dark.  My white gel pen is a staple on most of my projects and this is no exception.  I've colored in a little "light" on my can, as you can see.

I really wanted this card to have an old fashioned feel so I've incorporated lace and gingham ribbon.  I'm also using brand new Adornit scrapbook papers design by Laura Kelly.   These papers bring a little edgy flavor to my old fashioned theme.  

This new collection can be found in independent scrapbook stores.  If your store is not carrying Adornit products, ask them if they would like to!  They will be available soon at adornit.com and scrapbook.com as well so keep checking back.
