Greetings and salutations!
So before I get into today's card I just have to go off on a bit of a Glee tangent... not a whole lot of singing last night but man, SO much DRAMA! Poor Mr. Shue, are you doing ok Rinne? I know how much you like your Shue. ;) My big question mark for the episode is why can't the Glee kids go and draw funny faces on the other club pics too? I know, I know, it would be petty and they are above all that but man, sometimes drawing a funny mustache and glasses on the yearbook photo of that one kid who's never nice to you can feel pretty darn good... (insert innocent whistling smilie here...) ;)
Anywhooo... my card today is for this week's Diedrich Dare sketch and as you can probably tell there is a bit of altering going on with this one too. I used Lolli Anya's head (after I wiped away the lollipop from the side of her face and drew in the missing section) and Dress Me Anya's body and Summer Wardrobe dress. I drew in sleeves on her body as well as shoes on her feet. Oh and the bags are from the Summer Wardrobe set too, I just added a bit of crumpled crepe paper coming out the tops to make them look like gift bags. Whew... that's a lot going on to get one little Christmas shopping cutie but well worth the time I think. :)
And even though I don't need any more Christmas cards this year what can I say... I'm in that festive frame of mind and I don't think I'm going to shake it any time soon so why fight it?
Alrighty then, another day another dollar... hope you all have a wonderful day!

Children laughing, people passing.Meeting smile after smile. Hi Amy, I may not be a child, but I sure am laughing.....I love your card! You just cost me more money honey, I just have to buy her now, so that I can play...lol..Great card...I was soooooooo happy that Mr Shue caught his wife finally..I just can not stand her. She is sooo mean to him. I know it has been a coupl of (clearing throat) years since I was in high school, but the kids that would draw on the pics usually did it to their own...So I don't get that at all....I really thought that their mattress routine was soo cute. I was really laughing when the owner kept jumping...Smiles to you. Lisa G

Another brilliant card Amy!
ReplyDeleteI always like to look at your card and try to figure out what pieces you've used and see how close I was to what you actually used.
Glee - I hear ya. But I loved the Jump number!!
Only 1 more episode left right? And then nothing until the Spring...Oh how will I survive?!
Wow- you girlfriend are AMAZING!
ReplyDeleteAmy she is just fabulous!!!

I am a lover of your work Amy! I'm an Amy fan though and through and I just LOVE LOVE LOVE how you've altered Lolli Anya! Can you believe mine still hasn't seen ink? Now I need to sit with all my Anya's to see how I can begin my altering trip. GORGEOUS card!
ReplyDeleteI have to say I'm guilty of doing the mustache and glasses...not to mention blacked out teeth and "pimples" on the year book pics of those I could not stand! LOL!
This is awesome. I love coming to your blog for inspiration...
ReplyDeletePsst, I posted a card using one of your designs!! :)

ReplyDeleteOMG Amy, totally awesome!! You are amazing girl!
ReplyDeleteWow, beautiful card
ReplyDeleteI know!!! Buwahahahahahaha!!! You should've seen me last night while watching Glee! I kept saying, "Oh my God! OMG! OMG!!!!!!" when he found the baby bump! Poor Mr. Shuester! So sad that after next week's episode, it won't be on till April. But then, I found out that the DVD Vol. 1 will be out after 12/29.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, your card is just lovely! Such amazing altering and coloring, Amy! My faves are the tissue paper (genius!) and her outfit! And that paper is too cute! have a great day!
OMG! This puts me in the mood to go shopping! So adorable and I luv it! :)

OMG..you are so clever. I love the way you alter the images. She looks amazing. Have a wonderful weekend. xo Jackie
ReplyDeleteI Loooove the shopping bags. If you get a few too many Christmas cards made I am sure there would be a multitude of people willing to use them, me included :o)
ReplyDeleteOMG!!!! you are AMAZING, Amy!! she is just the cutest little shopper!! too cute!
ReplyDeleteThis is phenomenal Amy!!! The crepe paper so rocks! Beth
ReplyDeleteFabulous Amy love the details and your altering is stunning! Love her cute bags too! Hope you are well there's a little award for you on my blog, Big HuGs Kim :)
ReplyDeleteThis is abfab Amy!! I love it! Lolli Anya is my new favorite. The crepe paper is the perfect touch. You think of everything!
ReplyDeleteI agree with your Glee statements. Kinda disappointed that there wasn't that much singing, but Teri's fake pregnancy had to come to light sooner or later. Mr. Shue's reaction broke my heart. But man, wasn't Sue in here ripest form?! She's so blunt and insensitive. I love it though. Can't believe there's only one episode left. :(
Amazing job, Amy! I love, love, love this!!!
ReplyDeleteThat is adorable!!!
ReplyDeleteI had to skip over your first paragraph when I checked your blog out earlier cuz I hadn't watch Glee yet, LOL, but now that I have O-M-G!!!! Thank goodness, finally, the fake pregnancy is OUT. I LOVED his reaction, only b/c it had me in tears b/c it was so authentic. Gosh, this show is so good I can't stand it. Now, if only Finn would find out that Quinn isn't carrying HIS baby, LOL.
Wow, that's some impressive altering you've done! It's so flawless that before I read your post I thought "wait, I haven't seen that stamp before! where is it in the shop?"
ReplyDeletehow creative to make that beautiful image with so many different elements! It definately makes me want to pull out all my stamps and see what I could do with them if I had some imagination!
ReplyDeleteThis is sooo cute! I love the alterations and attention to detail.
ReplyDeleteA Super Adorable card! I just love the altering you did on her and how you made her perfect for the holidays!! Love her candy cane dress!
ReplyDeleteHugs
