Class Samples

Today is our last day of project shares from this new release.  A big mahalo to our guest designer Mimi for all her help!  And an aloha to our Zodiac team who always seem to come up with cool projects using our zodiac images.  And can't forget Debi- thanks girl!

Recently, I taught a copic coloring class using my new mermaid pals.  I love that you can color their hair different colors!  I am still tempted to try to color up their skin a different color but I have a feeling everyone will think its too weird.  For now, I'll stick to colored hair.

In the class, I like to keep the cards pretty simple so we can focus on coloring. The first class I used Aurora as the main image, but then switched to Eliana.  I just love coloring up her hair!

Here's a closer look at the two cards..

Oki doki!  Wow!  Can't believe we made it to the end of the previews!  Had so much fun with these new images!  It's fun to switch it up once in awhile- don'tcha think? Hope you enjoyed our mermaids as much as I did... And don't forget to leave comments on each introductory post by 11:59pm HST tonight to be eligible to win these little maids.

So I've been extremely busy.  In fact, that doesn't even begin to describe how busy I am!!!  But I'm hanging in there.  Sometimes I wonder what I was thinking when I decided to release these maid's at the end of May when school gets out.    Nevertheless... I managed to crank out some projects to share with you.  It's amazing what you can get done if you set your mind to it.  (Now I'm channeling Marty McFly from Back to the Future)...

So in an effort to kill two birds with one stone, I decided to try to make a centerpiece for my daughter's upcoming birthday party.  Poor girl's birthday is in the middle of all the hustle and bustle of the end of the school year, that we typically have her party a month or even two month's later.  

This year, we are having a pool party, so I thought it would be neat to include our mermaids in the festivities.  One suggestion from my smart husband was to make a centerpiece.  OK, more short cut confessions.... you can find these star sprays pre-made at your local craft store. All I did was bend down one of the wires and taped Aurora to it!!! Then I did the same using the Happy Birthday sentiment by Island Scrapbooking and VOILA!  Instant centerpiece!  I actually think I lucked out since it's also graduation season, so there's a lot of this kind of stuff available.   Here's the full view...

Here's a close look at Aurora...  I like how she really stands out since she's so bright against the silver spray.

That's all I have today... don't forget to check out Mimi's blog, and Debi's blog for more mermaid madness!  And don't forget we also have the Chinese Zodiac gang showcasing our newest additions to the series..  Catch you tomorrow!

Meet Aurora!

Hey Everyone!  Back again with another introduction!  Today, I am pleased to introduce you to Aurora.  

So, I know most of you thought this mermaid was named after Disney's Sleeping Beauty, but she really wasn't.  Aurora was named after my Sister's niece.  She lives in Italy and is sisters with Eliana.  My sister helped me to choose which mermaid to name after each girl, and she thought this one really matched Aurora.   I have yet to meet her in person, so I'll take my sister's word for it.

I'm having a blast playing with all of the mermaid's hair and fin colors!  It's so refreshing to not choose the typical, black, brown, red or blond hair.  This is my chance to play with more colors and I seem to be gravitating to the bright colors. The brighter the better!

I found my old Stampin up die that reminds me of a beach bag and thought that would be the perfect project for a mermaid. Since the paper was yellow, I decided to pick contrasting bright colors for her hair, the sentiment and her fin.  Went all out with the turquoise hair- never thought I'd like blue hair!

The sentiment is a custom laser cut by Island Scrapbooking.  Added on some coordinating red flowers.

And here's a better look at Aurora.

Oops!  Almost forgot about our blog candy!  You know the deal....
1)  Leave a comment on THIS POST by 05/31/13 11:50pm; and
2)  Tell me what color hair you would want as a mermaid.  I think I would want pink or red.


Be back tomorrow with our latest in the Chinese Zodiac line.  See you tomorrow!!
