A Faerie For You!!

Happy Monday to you!!

I hope you are all doing well. I am suffering from the sinus junk that is kicking some serious tail all over the place. My hubby is getting over his and Brittany is trying. I just seem to keep suffering. Uuuuugggggghhhhhh!!!!

Anyway, I wanted to share a card with you today using the beautiful Sassafras from Susana's Custom Art and Card Design. Susana has a fabulous store and if you haven't been over there you should put your slippers on and click on over!! Not only does she have a fabulous selection of products, she has a beautiful and unique selection of high quality rubber stamps. Her customer service is wonderful too!! Fast shipping!! That is very important to me because I can't wait to smell fresh rubber in my mailbox!!! Can you??

Here's my card (please excuse the finger in my picture):

Doesn't she make you smile?? I love this image! I used some beautiful Daisy Bucket paper (Love it) and colored Sassafras in with my Copics. I used my Cuttlebug Stylized Flowers folder to emboss my green cardstock and Martha Stewart photo corners and pearls on the corners. I used a sketch from Magnolia-licious. I used my nesties to cut out my image and the scalloped layer.

I chalked around her with blue chalk for emphasis. I used Shimmerz on her wings, socks and flowers in her hair although my camera refuses to show you.

I used my Martha Stewart Heart punch for the inside of my card and another strip of that fabby paper. I hope you enjoyed my card as much as I enjoyed making it. Thanks for coming by my blog. It means a lot to me that you took time to visit, so be sure to leave a comment so I know you were here.

Come back tomorrow. I'll have something wonderful for you to see!

It's a Hedgehog Valentine!!

Happy Tuesday everyone!!

I can't believe Valentine's Day is this weekend!! I have such cute Valentine stamps that I haven't gotten to use yet!! What's a girl to do? I guess I could post 3 or 4 times a day until then. Okay I can't, because I can't seem to find enough time to make the stuff that I want to post! So I 'll get to the point.

I did this adorable Penny Black Hedgehog for Valentine's Day. It is such a cute image, I love it!! I colored it with my Prismacolor Pencils and OMS. He was such fun to color! Isn't it great to color images that we love. You get to watch the black and white picture develop into a colorful personality. Anyway, here's my card for today.

I stamped the inside sentiment and used my Martha Stewart scalloped heart punches to decorate the inside.
I hope you like it and will come back tomorrow to see what I have planned for Flutterby Wednesday. Be sure to leave me a comment and let me know you were here. I love to read them.

Pure Glamour!!

Happy Monday Everyone!!

I guess we all survived the superbowl and all that blog hopping!! I feel like a big, blonde frog with tired legs!! Today's card has to be one of my favorite images of all time!! Pretty Head Lily is a digi stamp from The Greeting Farm. She is so glamourous and fun to color. I used my copics to color her in. Take a look:

Isn't she beautiful!! I used some pretty floral dp from Fancy Pants and great flowers from Imaginisce. My sentiment is a Great Impressions stamp. I cut her out with my nestabilities scalloped circle. I used a hole punch to punch holes in the scallops to look like lace. I popped her up with pop dots for added dimension. I added lots of bling and some more cute embellies to make her really shine. I kept my design simple so she could be center stage. I love this image and will be using her again soon!!

I hope you like her and will come back again tomorrow to see what else I've been up to!! I appreciate you stopping by my blog and I hope that I can inspire you in some way!! That's what makes it all worthwhile. Bye for now.

My First House Mouse!!!

Happy Monday!! I just had to share my very first House Mouse!! I have always loved these little mice, but have always been intimidated by them. I wasn't sure that I could color them to look right. I think I did okay. What do you think?? (Be gentle!) I think they are so cute!

I colored this sweet little mouse with my Prismacolors and OMS. I used Cloud Nine Valentine papers and Bazzill cardstock. The camera is not showing the embossed hearts on the patterned paper, but they are cute!. I used Martha Stewart punches "love" and "hearts" for my sentiment. I used Stickles on the heart for a little sparkle. I'm sorry the carmera is not picking up on the sparkle. One of these days, I will figure this thing out completly. LOL I also managed to make this from the Splitcoast sketch SC212. Yea, I did a sketch challenge!! I'm so proud of myself!

I hope you like my card and I really appreciate you stopping by to take a peek. Please come back and see what I'm up to tomorrow!! Have a great day!

Hi everyone,

I hope your new year is going well so far. My sweet daughter shared her upper respiratory infection with me and I am miserable on so many levels. Anyway, I won't bore you with that. I made this card using my Pink Cat Studio Lily and Tweet stamp set. I absolutely adore these stamps!! All of the PCS stamp sets are so cute! You'll be seeing more from this set and my other sets as soon as I feel alive again (lol). The PCS stamps have such a warm, sweet, friendly feel to them and offer great versatility for any occasion. I just love them (can't you tell). If you haven't already, check them out. You can click on the link above or on the cute kitty on my sidebar to see these wonderful stamps.

I colored my image with my copics. I've been practicing with these markers and hopefully I'm getting better, if not, be gentle. I think it turned out pretty well. My dew drops and pink marker look a little loud in the photos, but IRL they match really well. I used my Martha Stewart snowflake and lace doily edge punch on my card.

Thanks for stopping by. Don't forget to watch for the Flutterby Wednesday Designs starting this week.

Supplies:
Stamps: Pink Car Studio- Lily & Tweet Set
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black
Paper: Chatterbox Cardstock: Bazzill Basics

I don't know why my text suddenly wants to be centered, but I'm too tired to figure it out now (lol).Off to the Dr. I go.
