Whiff of Joy August Post 1.

Good morning everyone! Today I am sharing a new Whiff of Joy creation. This is my first Whiff of Joy post for August. Can you believe it is August? Wow! Christmas sure is coming up fast .. Yikes! And the kids are back in school! I can't believe how fast the year is flying by. I think it goes by faster the older I get LOL!!

Alright.. here is my creation:







This is Helmsman Henry. Isn't he adorable!! I colored him up with my Copic Markers. I did a bit of decoupage. I added stitching around the edge and then stitching along the edge of the photo where the banners are. I added the banners with the different papers from this wonderful Carta Bella Ahoy There paper pad.  I created the Thanks for guiding me through the rough seas sentiment and I've added some sequin. The inside has the die cut piece which was cut with my Cameo and a few sequin on the inside as well. That's it! I hope you love Henry as much as I do :)

Thank you all for the support.. it has been overwhelming!!  You all are the greatest!!  Okay.. enough of the gooshy stuff LOL  On to my creation for Challenge #2 - Warmth-Food or Clothing!

I decided to go with an ATC for this one :)  I love this image! This is Snuggled Up Daffy from Digital Delights by Louby Loo!  I decoupaged the image.. I know you are shocked!! LOL  I colored the image with my Copic Markers. The papers are from some papers I've been sitting on for a while LOL It is Carta Bella's Paris Girl by Samantha Walker. The sentiment line at the bottom is also from that paper.. I cut it to use it as a sentiment. I added pearls to the top of it and then gems to the bottom. I popped the hat and then the rim of the hat again. I also popped the nose on the hat and the scarf. You guys have one more week to enter into the challenge at Open-Minded!! I hope to see your projects!!
