Comfy Riley or another challenge

Hi there

and welcome to my second blog post for today - yeah!!

Last night I finally sat down and played a bit with my COPICS!!! Yep, I did it. I resisted soooo long but after reading that Hanna stamps had a huge sale going on in January I just got their set of Copics for coloring Riley. They had a fabulous prize for the 12 markers and I thought for playing and deciding .... that would be okay, right? Well, needless to say that it is AWESOME what you can do with them. They won't be my only Copics I guess ***smile***.

I colored Riley with them and for the layout I used the sketch from The Pink Elephant. Rileyandcompany has a challenge this week : use red, brown and caramel! Matches, huh?

Here is a close-up view of Riley himself. I cut him out twice and kinda stuck him together for a little more dimension. I like how it turned out.

The red give the images a comfy feeling. And honestly - who doesn't like to sit back with a cup of coffee and a cupcake, hm? I didn't add a sentiment ... maybe later....

Thank you for popping in today

Hugs Tanja

Swimming lessons

Hi there,

just another quick post today. We just headed home from swimming class with my oldest son. Our temperatures are around 100°F and humidity is nearly the same in percentage ;-)

So, we try to rest a little bit and then we will be on our the way to another pool party ......pweh!

I received one of my favorite Rileys the day before yesterday and I had to ink him up right away. Love love love him! And I found these yummy paper in my stash from K&Company and had to put everything together. Riley cannot decide - swimming in the pool or tanning under an umbrella ... a combination of both would be great, huh?

I didn't want to cover so much from that DP so I just sponges the edges and put a little piece of this awesome "waterpaper" behind Riley. I always have to think about the swimming lessons my son is participating since 2 weeks that I had to sew a little fence around him to keep him "safe" =)

Added some dew drops and there we go ....

Thank you for stopping by and enjoy your day!!!

Hugs Tanja
