It's All About Baby's!

When I glued down the flowery strip I left the top section unglued so that I could slip in the two tags.

Paper:  Simple Stories - Baby Steps, Bazzill Cream and Teal
Markers/Ink: Copics, Distress Broken China
Embellishments: Kraft ribbon, Michael's charm, BoBunny gems, SU Twine

Just Tangling Along

I haven't posted much here about my Zentangle creations because Crafting Passions is mostly about my cards, design team work and other paper crafts.  Well, I like Zentangle enough that I decided to create a blog just for my work in that art/craft area - Just Tangling Along - hop over and take a look.

I thought I might need the separate blog because I am going to start entering the challenges over at The Diva and the Zendala Dare.  When I finally get into the CZT course I will be certified to teach and will post information about classes and such there as well.

Well my BIG news today (other than introducing you to my new blog) is that I made it into the November CZT course!!!!!!!  I am really excited and looking forward to meeting founders Rick and Maria and learning more about Zentangle.  It will be quite the trek to get from Vancouver Island to Providence Road Island but I am ready to delve deeper into the world of Zentangle.

I thought you might like to see what I have been working on lately.


This is one my my Zendala's.


This is my ZIA Comet.

Anyway, I hope I have peeked your interest and that you stop over at Just Tangling Along and become a follower or leave a comment.

Thanks for checking in on me today.

Bee Happy!

I bought some new die cuts from Memory Box and Impression Obsession this week.  I have been having fun designing different cards with all the extra fun.

 I think this one is my favorite using Digital Delights Bumble Bee Larry and Memory Box Orchard Tree Frame.

I printed off Larry, colored him with my Copics and then dabbed in the sky with Adarondack Aqua and a sponge dauber.  I also added flicks of grass with the Copic markers around Larry.

 I used my Cuttle Bug to cut out the tree and lots of leaves.  I added dimension to the leaves by embossing them with my large round ball stylus  After gluing all the leaves on I was ready to assemble my card.
Card Recipe
Paper:  Bazzill Yellow and Brown, Old Olive, Graphic 45 Secret Garden
Markers/Ink: Copics, Adarondack Aqua on the sky and Meadow under the grass.
Embellishments: Memory Box Orchard Tree Frame, Impression Obsession dies, BoBunny Ribbon, Sizzix Butterfly die, Wild Orchid flowers, MS Leaf punch

Craft a Scene - Dusk to Dawn Challenge

I have a card today for the Craft a Scene Dusk to Dawn challenge. I used all Stampscapes stamps from the new collection.  

I colored the cabin, trees and grasses with Copics and then filled in the sky and water with 2 different PanPastel blues.  Then I added a bit of black PanPastel around the edges to help create the idea that it is night-time.
Card Recipe

Images: Stampscapes 
Paper: Stampin Up Old Olive and Espresso, Bazzill blue, Cryogen White
Markers/Ink: Momento Black, PanPastels, Copics
Embellishments: White gel pen

Challenges for this card:

Have a Great Sunday!
