TGI(B)F – feel better real soon

Hi everyone!  TGIF, or TGI(Bellarific)F! It’s been a whirlwind here with the first week of school and scrambling for supplies. Seriously, I do not understand why we (middle and high school) parents can’t get a supply list, even a few days before school starts. By now, many items can’t be found, and if they are available, they’re hard to find and no longer on sale.  *shaking my head*

Anyway, this past week with Stamping Bella the challenge was to create your own background. We (the DT) are also using September’s stamp of the month which is Uptown Girl Sofia the Sicky, 20% off through 9/30.

To create my background, I used a T-ruler and an orange Frixion erasable pen to draw the straight lines. I then added the dots with an Orange Kirarina Wink pen. After coloring Sofia with Copic markers, I added white dots to her dress with a White Pearl Kirarina Wink pen.

This is how I look (minus the tissues) after spending two hours trying to find a Moleskin Classic Notebook three days after school begins. (You may be asking “What is a Moleskin Classic Notebook?” I didn’t know either. I had to Google it.)

You can find more creative backgrounds, as well as more Sofia the Sicky samples, on the Stamping Bella blog  (a little later this morning).

Next week’s challenge is a sketch:

Thanks for stopping by! Have a great day!
