Christmas Stampin' All Year Long

This is my second post today, please scroll down and see my first post from today also.

Happy Monday Everyone!!

Today's challenge over at Maria's Christmas Stampin' All Year Long blog is Maria's Sketch challenge. We know that Maria makes the best sketches!! I thought this looked kind of like a gate fold card so I made my card a gate fold card. I used My Mind's Eye papers and the tree, joy, snowman and journaling spot are also My Mind's Eye. I used the lovely Snow Anya from the Rain, Snow, Shine set from The Greeting Farm. She is so cute!! I colored her with my copics and used a glitter pen on her muff and her coat and boot fluff. IRL it is super sparkly. I cut her out with my nesties and popped her and the little tree and Joy up on pop dots. For the inside of my card, I used a punch out snowman and journaling spot as my focal point and cut the green and pink cardstock out with my nesties. I put my snowman on pop dots as well. Simple, but I like how it turned out. I hope you do too!!

Be sure to visit the Christmas Stampin' All Year Long blog to see what the other challenge divas have created. I also have them listed on my sidebar. It's time to get started on those cards!! We'd love for you to play along, just leave a comment and a link to your creation on the Christmas Stampin' All Year Long blog or if you upload to SCS or PCP, use the keyword CSAYL. Thank you for stopping by my blog. Be sure to come by tomorrow to see what I have to show you.

Princess Anya finds her prince??

Hi everyone!!

Happy Friday to you!! Wow, did this week fly by. I have to say that the snow we got was so beautiful. Today it went away. Now the ground looks messy and muddy!! It's funny how we can go from being 20 degrees one day and 60 degrees the next. No wonder our sinuses are dying!!! Brittany enjoyed the snow as well. Since we never get snow she is not very experienced with snowman building, but she built the cutest little snowman!! I took a picture of her with her wintery friend.

Today's card is Princess Anya from The Greeting Farm. She is so sweet with her pink gown with Shimmerz on her crown, dress and wand. The background stamp is from Alota Rubber Stamps and the frog is a Hero Arts stamp. I love this little scene. Princess Anya is standing outside the castle waiting for her prince and up hops this little frog. I stamped the building onto white cardstock. I stamped the frog and used pop dots to pop up the frog and Anya. I colored Anya, the frog and the castle with my copics. I used chalks to make the pretty blue sky. I punched the edges of the strips of paper to make it look like lace.

Sorry about the short post but I have to go work on some other projects. Thanks for stopping by my blog and be sure you leave a comment so I know you were here.

Miss Anya Gets Framed!!

Happy Monday Everyone!!

I have to tell you that the 10 inches of snow that we got was so beautiful but was/is a travel nightmare!! I don't know how you guys handle all that heavy snow in areas that get a lot of snow each and every day during the winter months!! My hats off to you!! I've also had computer issues to deal with as well. Not a pretty weekend!

Now onto my card for today. I have a super cute Miss Anya card for you today. I colored Miss Anya from The Greeting Farm with my Copics. I used the really cute Making Memories Chloe's Closet paper line for this card. I think it suits Miss Anya really well don't you? I also used a Making Memories frame to perfectly frame our little cutie. I put some cute little flowers with pearl centers in the top of the frame. I love these color combinations too. Blue and yellow is one of my favorite color combinations. Anyway, I hope you enjoy looking at her as much as I enjoyed making her.





Have a great start to your week and be sure to come back tomorrow to see what I have for you. Be sure to leave me some love when you stop by so I know you were here. I love to read your comments!

Thanks for stopping by today.

A Fish Tale for Ian!

Happy Monday everyone!!

First I want to thank everyone for their kind comments about my situation yesterday. I didn't want to give too many details because of the TMI factor!! I should have given blog candy for the first person to leave a comment telling me what kind of testing I was supposed to have this morning!!! LOL I was supposed to have a colonoscopy this morning but it didn't work out!! You can read the previous post for all the details.

Today I have an adorable Ian from the Rock the Farm Set over at The Greeting Farm to share with you today. I was supposed to have this entered into the sketch contest but I didn't quite make it. But I love my card anyway so I wanted to go ahead and post it. I will probably give this to my hubby. He loves to fish and this will be perfect for him.

I started out by stamping Ian onto white cardstock and coloring him with my copics. I chalked a little around the edges of the Ian rectangle and the circle. Look at the little tiny googly eye on the fish!! Is this not adorable? (see next photo for better look). I cut him out and matted him onto blue paper and placed him onto the card front with pop dots. The paper on the card front is Chatterbox. I cut a cute little circle with my nesties and put my little "gone fishin" button on with a glue dot. This is the cutest button ever and perfect with my little fisherman!! I finished off with a cute strip of Bo-Bunny ribbon tied in a knot.

You know you should never leave the inside of your card naked!! LOL so I cut a piece of white card stock and stamped my sentiment from the Rock the Farm set. I also stamped just the little fishes from the Ian stamp and the two heart flowers in the corners (also from the set). I colored all of this in with my copics.

I really like how this card turned out. I think DH will love it as well. What do you think?? Please be sure to leave me a comment and let me know what you think. I love to read the comments and appreciate every single one of you that takes time to stop by my blog to check it out. I will continue to provide you with lots of inspiration (hopefully) and maybe a couple of simple tutorials in the coming future!! So be sure you check back often, to see what I'm up to.

Hugs to everyone and have a wonderful day!!

Miss Anya's in the House!!!

Hi Everyone

Sorry for the late post, I have a sick child and a migraine. Not a great combination. Lookie what I found in my mailbox!! Ok, it was a few days ago, but hey, life happens!! This is actually my Madelynn's Twinkling Tuesday challenge card MTTSC10. I know it's Friday, but I still think that Madelynn will like it!! I hope you do too!

These little girls are so cute and fun to color!! You can find Miss Anya at The Greeting Farm. If they are out of stock, keep checking back. Marie is wonderful and she will have some in before you know it.

I used these cuties on my card this week in a chocolate/pink color combination. One of my personal favorites! Don't you just love this!! I think it turned out really well. I started out with some beautiful shimmery, Heidi Grace paper. I stamped the girls onto white cardstock and colored them in with my copics. I cut and mounted each one onto brown cardstock. I ceated the sentiment on my computer and put it inside a cute little oval bookplate. So cute!!

I just love this card!! What do you think?? Please leave me a comment. I love reading them.

Please come back to visit. Thanks for stopping by today. I really appreciate you!!

The Anya Sistahs Rock the Farm!

Hi Everyone!! Happy Valentine's Day!!!

I made this card for the Club Anya sketch challenge. I love my new Rock the Farm set from The Greeting Farm. This Anya is so adorable and fun to color. She's perfect for any occasion. I like these stamps, can you tell?? LOL!

This card was so fun to make!! I used this adorable Reminisce farm animal paper that I've had in my stash. It was perfect for our little farm girls!! I decided to make Anya a sister. She"ll need help to do all those farm chores!! LOL I colored the images with my copics. I cut all my pieces and matted them. I popped them up with pop dots. It was really very simple to make.



Thank you for stopping by my blog. It really means a lot. Why don't you encourage a friend to come over and check out my blog as well. The more the merrier!! Be sure you leave a comment so I know you were here. I really enjoy reading them!! See you soon!

My Favorite Little Angel Meets Madelynn!!

Happy Saturday everyone!!

I have the sweetest little Angel Anya for my Madelynn's Twinkling Tuesday sketch MTTSC8. I know the key word here is "Tuesday", but I think Madelynn will love it just as much on Saturday. Better late than never, I always say.

I seem to be on an Anya roll lately, but this little Angel is the cutest, sweetest little thing ever and she fit the sketch!! Anya is just the cutest image from The Greeting Farm.

Now for the details. I colored Anya with my Copics and used my nesties to cut her into a scalloped oval. I used yummy Basic Grey paper and if you look closely, you will see the fabulous Shimmerz on her wings and halo. Hopefully, you can see the angelic shimmer in my photos. I think my settings are getting better. I also used pretty purple rhinestones because even Angels need their bling!! I thought the sentiment was perfect for her. I popped the sentiment and Anya up on pop dots for dimension. I also tied a knot with this gorgeous purple ribbon.

Thank you so much for stopping by my blog today! It really means a lot. Leave a comment if you like and let me know what you think. I love to read your thoughts!

Princess Anya Meets Flutterby Wednesday!!

Happy Wednesday everyone!!! Today is Flutterby Wednesday and I had so much fun making this card! The challenge this week was to use pink on our cards. Wow, what a stretch for me, LOL! I think I use pink on everything!! I decided to make the whole card pink and of course Princess Anya's dress is gorgeous in bright pink! Princess Anya is a fun stamp from The Greeting Farm. LOVE HER!!!

I started my card with a piece of white card stock. I used Our Craft Lounge stamps to stamp that adorable tree, grass and flowers. I colored in the hearts on the tree and flowers with my copics. I pulled out my chalks and made the blue sky and greenish color on the grass and in the tree. I colored Princess Anya with my copics also. I drew in a sign post and put the sentiment on top to make a Valentine sign. I printed the clouds from CC Designs at All That Scraps and colored them with Shimmerz. I love my Shimmerz!! I also used it on the hearts on the tree, the heart on the tree trunk and Anya's crown and wand. (My camera would not cooperate!)

Once my background was sponged on with the chalks, I assembled all the pieces into a pretty little enchanted Valentine forest for Anya!! I used my oval nesties to cut the "sign" and chalked over it with pink chalk. I stamped some little flutterby's over those cute flowers! Fianlly, I used my Martha Stewart punch and punched out a butterfly from glittered cardstock. I folded her wings up and glued only her body to the card.. I popped Anya off the card for a little taste of dimension.

To finish off my card, I put a piece of white card stock on the inside and stamped those adorable flowers and butterflies in the bottom corners and colored them with my copics.

We want to see you play along with us! Make your flutterby card and if you upload to a galley such as PCP or SCS be sure to use keyword FBW43 so we can find your wonderful creation!

Thank you so much for stopping by my blog!! I hope you enjoyed your stay and I hope you will come back tomorrow to see what I am up too!

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.

It's Anya!!

Hi everyone. I can't believe it. I actually finished a challenge before it was over (close but not over)!! I created this little cutie patootie for Madelynn's Twinkling Tuesday MTTSC5. Now if I can figure out how to link it to the right place I'll be a happy camper!!LOL!

I just love how this card turned out! Simple but so cute and sweet. I used an Anya digi stamp from The Greeting Farm. I love the instant gratification of digi stamps. Don't get me wrong, I love any kind of stamps!! Here she is dressed up like Alice in Wonderland! How cute is that??

I used my copics to color her in. I used patterned paper from Chatterbox and the sentiment is from an October Afternoon set. I used dew drops from The Robin's Nest in each corner (don't you just love those things),

I decorated the inside of the card with the same paper that I used on the front of the card and a piece of white cardstock.

Thank you so much for stopping by. Be sure to leave a comment so I know you were here. Come back and see what else I've been up to!
