Happy Easter...

Happy Easter Sunday to all those celebrating!

It's been way too long since I've inked up any rubber from Sister Stamps so today I am remedying that situation with a fun little Easter card. I used just the bunnies from both the Masa and Akemi stamps because I simply adore the SS dabas. If you are familiar with the stamps, you may have noticed that the Akemi bunny is facing left instead of right on my card. I actually pulled the same stamp, flip, and trace trick that I did with the narwhal on yesterday's card. I really love how the two are interacting with each other now. 
Doodlebug papers are always bright and cheery making them just the choice to pair up with these two harbingers of spring. I even fussy cut those tiny carrots out of one of the paper prints, LOL! All in all, another simple, quick and cute card that makes me smile. 

And in case you missed it... Sister Stamps is currently celebrating their 12th release. I believe today is the last day to leave a comment on their blog for chances at winning the cute new stamps. I have a couple that I've had my eye on since they were peeked in December and I can't wait to get my hands on them! :)

Ok, time for me to go enjoy the day. There is no egg hunt on my schedule but I will be enjoying some delicious deviled eggs with our ham dinner tonight... yum!  

Supply list:
cardstock- Bazzill and Copic X-Press It

Fintastic friends...

Olo!

Apparently there is no stopping this flood of mermaids once it has begun, LOL! Today's flippered friend is Under the Sea Mae from Some Odd Girl. I have actually had the papers pulled and Mae colored since last August but again, I never quite found the time to put it all together. I feel so happy finally getting this one finished and off my desk! 
I remember that I was trying to color her tail to look shimmery and silver kinda like she hails from the cold waters of the Arctic. Then yesterday when I started to put this all together I realized that Mae needed a friend to complete the scene. I went back to the stamp set and found this cute narwhal... what a perfect Arctic friend. The only problem was that he was facing the wrong direction because I wanted him facing Mae, not away from her. It was an easy fix though, I simply stamped him up, flipped the cardstock over and placed it on my light-box. Because he isn't very intricate I could quickly trace his outline using one of my black Copic multiliner pens onto the back side of the paper. Just like that I had Mr. Narwhal facing his pal Mae and everyone was happy. :)

Alrighty then, have fun today whether you're working or enjoying the day off. I'll catch ya on the flip side!

Oceans of love...

TGIF!

One more day of work after this and then I've got Easter Sunday off. Not that it has been a bad week or anything, just busy. :)

So I think I opened the floodgates with yesterday's card because here I am again with yet another mermaid swimming by to say hi. This lovely Gorjuss Girl is called Awash and I got her last year just as everything began to happen with my mom. Needless to say, I never got around to inking her up last summer. And by the time I came back to card making full time it was all about Christmas cards. But she is here now and I kinda adore her. I used more of the Uncharted Waters paper pad and went with a very blue color palette this time... it just seemed to suit her. 

Okey dokey, thanks for stopping by and I hope you all get some crafty time this weekend!

Treasure your friendship...

Hello, hello!

Is it too early in the season for a mermaid card? I debated on that for a minute but decided that since the new summer papers were already coming out, why couldn't I have a little under the sea fun? Plus when I saw that the Kraftin' Kimmie challenge this week was 'use your fave KK stamp' I really wanted to use a mermaid. Oh, but wait... I really love their Alice stamp too. Hmmm... what to do, what to do? Aha! Ok, so technically I may be cheating a bit but I pulled a head swap to include both Marina's body and Alice's head into one image. That way I could use two favorite images at once. ;)

Alrighty, I've gotta cut this one short so I can go get ready for the day. 
Have a happy one my friends!

Good morning!

Well, we are making it over that hump to the middle of the work week... keep on keepin' on my friends. ;)

By now you outta know that Wednesday brings with it a review preview day over on the ATS blog and once again I'm playing along. This review is all about the new Bu'fly fairies and pixie Maribelle that Sweet November released for March. The exuberant energy of Bu'fly Brooke was calling to me so she is the star of today's card. I paired her up with some Basic Grey Fiction papers because the bright colors suited Brooke quite nicely. All that orange just makes this crafty girl very happy! :)

Be sure to click on over to the ATS blog to peruse the fabulous Bu'fly cards that my fellow ATS teamies have created for today. If you haven't been feeling spring fever before now, I guarantee you will after a scroll through over there!

Happy to call you a friend...

Hey there!

I've been getting a lot more hours at work recently, which is great, but it hasn't been leaving me with a whole lot of crafting time. Thus videos have been few and far between and most of my cards have been on the simple side. I don't see anything changing for the next couple weeks either but I still like to unwind in the evenings with a bit of coloring so busy or not I've still got cards to share. :)

Today I've got a quick card featuring the Wryn and Emmy digital stamp from Tiddly Inks. I love these two girlies and couldn't wait to color them up. The paper is from the same 12x12 sheet that I used on my Geeky Mae card... one of the many reasons why I'm a big fan of the Simple Stories paper lines. Being a card maker, those 4x6  cut apart papers make for the perfect quick and easy card fronts plus you get so many different looks from just one sheet. I really didn't have to add much other than Wryn and Emmy to call this one done. ;)

Well friends, it's time for me to scoot. TTYL!

Hello there...

Good morning!

Mmmm... a day off... there is a lot on my home 'to-do' list so it is nice having some time to focus on them. Hopefully I can get everything done quickly so that I can play a bit as well. ;)

Anywho, the card that I made for today was totally just for fun. Geeky Mae has been printed off and sitting on my desk for awhile and when I saw the colors in this paper they looked very geek chic to me so I paired the two up. The color scheme wasn't the only thing that I liked with Mae, considering she is supposed to be kinda geeky and nerdy, I also liked that the print is dictionary text. It's like this little Mae has been busy studying and taking notes with her tabs and paperclip in place. Oh, and I couldn't help myself... that blank tab needed something on it and that funny smiley stamp seemed to be a good fit. I can totally see Mae using that smiley when she writes an email or something. ☻

Okey dokey, I hope you have a wonderfully crafty Sunday my friends. See ya in 24!

Best day ever...

Olo!

I'm just popping in real quick with a card that I made for the Retro Fresh challenge at The Greeting Farm. The theme this month is 'boys' which gave me a great reason to dive into the Hey Boy paper pad that I got in Spokane. I have to say that having used both of the lines already really makes me feel like the trip was even more worthwhile. I thought about using an Ian at first but the Creepers had the better look for the papers so in the end I inked up Creeper Saturday. I'm not sure but this may be the first time I've shown this cool dude some inky love, if so I think it was worth the wait. :)

Ok, I know it's the weekend but I've really gotta run and get myself ready for work.

Blooming good day...

Hey, hey, hey!

It took me a sec to realize it's Friday... working as much as I have been tends to make the days start to blur together. Still, I hope the weekend is nice so I have some sunshine to look forward to once 5pm hits. :)

Today's card is all about having a reason to play with some of the new papers and embellishments that I got on my shopping trip Monday. That little floral print is so pretty to me and I couldn't wait to cut into it. So I inked up a spring looking Pure Innocence and got busy. I know it's the second day in a row using images with a watering can but she does have an entire flower garden to tend to. ;)
And see those acrylic butterflies? I really wanted to use them on this card but at first I was a bit stumped as to how to adhere them without the glue showing. Then I spotted my tiny attacher and had that 'aha!' moment. Those tiny staples make for fun looking butterfly bodies if you ask me.

And with that I shall wrap up this post and wish you a fantabulous Friday. 
Stay classy San Diego!

Hello there...

Hello, hello!

Can you believe that in my neck of the woods the first day of spring was ushered in with snow and rain? I couldn't believe it... I woke up yesterday and the ground was covered in a thin layer of snow! Mother Nature must be a bit confused because I've already got crocus and daffodils coming up in the flower beds. At least the rain that followed helped to make it disappear, now I just hope it warms back up again. So did anyone out there actually get a beautiful first day of spring?

My card today sure has the colors and brightness that I'm wishing for. I colored up Drozy's Darling Fairy Watering from the ATS March release and fussy cut her out so that it would be easy to create a little scene with her. The papers are Bella Blvd scraps that have been hanging around... if you haven't guessed yet, I can never resist a good cloud print paper. ;)
I colored her up nice and vibrant to match and kept the embellishing to a minimum since the prints were so busy. It's a pretty simple card but I think it turned out cute enough. :)

Alrighty, time to get ready for work. Later gators!

A great friend...

Good morning... sorry about the lateness, I just got internet access back!

I had a wonderful shopping trip with my sister on Monday. I got some cute new clothes for this spring/summer and even better than that, I hit the jackpot at JoAnn's and got some new Basic Grey goodies at 40% off! Jacque is always pretty good about indulging my desire to search out crafty stores even though she has other interests. We talked and laughed the whole time so it was a really great day.

Speaking of great days... today is another review preview day over on the ATS blog. Both the Li'l Lolitas and Drozy's Darlings are in the spotlight this time and I've made a card using Fairy Willow. She's such a beauty and I couldn't help but color her up in a soft spring time palette. The scrap of old Chatterbox paper was just what I needed for that too. I love how the plant tendrils in the print mimic the curls of Willow's hair. 

As always there is plenty more inspiration to be seen from my fellow teammates on the ATS blog, so be sure to check that out. And all of the March stamps can be found here in the All That Scraps store.

TTFN!

Weeds and wildflowers...

Hi guys!

I've got a day off and my sister asked me to go on a shopping trip to Spokane with her so I'll be heading out soon for a long day of driving and hopefully good deals. ;)

Today's card features Garden Gnome Tilly and I've had this particular image stamped and sitting on my desk since last May. How do I know this? Because she was a test run for a video that I did on adding pattern to stamped images. So it felt very good to finally color her up and get her onto a card of her own. All I had to do was grab a paper scrap and color her up to match all the great colors in it. It's kinda funny how when I am matching such specific color combos the character usually looks pretty odd and random until I add them to the card. It's not until those last moments that all the colors I've used finally come together and look right. I'm always a little relieved when I glue them down and they don't look like mis-matched ragamuffins anymore, LOL! 

Ok, time for me to scoot. I probably won't be getting back until late so no guarantees that there will be a new card to share tomorrow.
Laters!     

Supply list:
cardstock- Bazzill and Copic X-Press It

Oh. Em. Gee...

Ok, Downton fans... things came up last month and I wasn't able to finish watching season 3 on PBS. So I bought the DVDs and just finished watching it through last night. WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!! Tell me it isn't true! I can't believe it and I still tear up even now just thinking about it. Why? Why? Why?
Sigh... so how long do we have to wait for season 4 to begin and all these questions that I now have floating around in my head to be answered? Whatever it is the wait will be too long.   

Well, it would seem that I'm on a roll with the challenges these days. As I was flipping through the Sweet Girl paper pad for my card yesterday I spotted this aqua chevron print and right away the Double Take Tuesday challenge came to mind. This week's is to use aqua and chevron together on your card so this paper got both taken care of in one fell swoop! Something about the prints energy suggested that I needed an image with attitude so it was time to grab a creeper. ;)
Piper had just the look that I wanted so I inked her up and went to town. Not only does she go great with this mix of prints but she also gave me an excuse to use this cheeky sentiment that I've been dying to get on a card. Fun and funky is what came to my mind once this one was done.

Ok, I've got a shorter day of work to get ready for so I should get going. 
Toodles!

Just saying hello...

Hello, hello!

So I warned you yesterday that I was slightly hooked on this CAS layout and it would probably be showing up again. Well, here it is only a day later, LOL! I did switch things up a bit by moving the paper strip down to the bottom and adding the cluster of pennants to break up the white space above though. 
The image is from the Pergamano Flower Girls set and I've had her sitting on my desk for over a month just waiting for some love. Because the paper I had stamped her on was already cut to the size of a card front keeping this CAS was a no brainer... I sure saved loads of time from trying to fussy cut this one out. ;)
And go figure... the week that I could use any winged friend for a Flutter By challenge, all I've got are traditional butterflies on my card. Oh well, it turned out too pretty not to enter just because of that.

Enjoy your day and I'll see ya in 24!

your heart...

TGIF... kinda sorta.

Initially I was going to have today off but the schedule has since changed and I'm now on through Sunday. So my 'weekend' is still a few days away. Still, I hope the rest of you have some fun and exciting things to look forward to. :)

As busy as I've been with work it was great to find another CAS challenge to enter for my card today. This one is at Kraftin Kimmie Stamps which is perfect since it has been some time since inking up a KK cutie. I could be wrong but I don't think I've colored Rapunzel before so I'm going ahead and crossing her off my mental list of as yet unloved stamps in my collection. While I was checking out the challenge post I was very inspired by the fab card that Alice made for it. I really love how she used just a strip of paper up top with a bit of embellishing so I had to give it a try too. I have to say that I can see myself doing a few more cards like this in the near future... it was a lot of fun. 

Alrighty, I should go get myself ready for the day now. TTYL!

Shamrocks...

Hello!

I made this card for the Farm Fresh Friday challenge over at The Greeting Farm. This week the challenge is to create a green St. Patrick's Day card and to be honest I didn't think I would get around to making anything for this one. But as I was flipping through my binder of TGF stamps Blush Bettie was looking quite Irish to me... especially once I gave her a nice green dress and some fabulous red hair. ;)
It was my first time inking Bettie up and I couldn't help but do some slight altering to open up her eyes more and I added the four leaf clover to her hand. Otherwise, I kept the card fairly CAS and let her shine. 

Ok, I've got to wrap this one up... another day another dollar. 
Toodles!

So beautiful to me...

Howdy folks!

It's review preview time once again over on the ATS blog. Since I didn't have time to get a card done for the CC Designs preview day I figured this was the perfect time to color up the new Fairy Abigail stamp. She is so sweet and pensive looking with her knees drawn up like that. I can just picture her sitting and dreaming about all sorts of magical things. :)

The Miss Caroline paper pad pretty much fell into my lap as I was straightening things up a bit so I went ahead and put some more of it to use. I love that colorful floral print, it really suits Fairy Abigail both in the style of the flowers and the colors. And wouldn't you know, there was a scrap of that OA cloud paper still on my desk and the blue was a perfect match. I know I keep using it over and over but it seemed so meant to be this time that I couldn't not use it, right? I didn't have any flowers that matched the pink in the paper so I actually used my Copics to color up some white Primas. If I had given myself more time I think I would have tried air brushing them for a softer look but they didn't turn out too bad. 

Alrighty, be sure to flutter on over to the ATS blog and check out what the rest of my fellow ATS teamies have created for the review today. Without a doubt they will have you longing for spring! 
Later gators!

Clean and simple...

Hey there!

This one will be a quickie as I'm on the run already this morning... and it's only Tuesday! 

I recently took advantage of a sale over at Tiddly Inks and added a couple more of their clear stamps to my little collection. Happy Mail Wryn was one of those new purchases and I thought that it would be fun to use her for an Easter card. The little peep that came with her in the set had me envisioning Wryn surrounded by fluffy Easter chicks. So I stamped him up a few times, snipped the legs off and even turned a couple upside down, drawing on new eyes so I would have them facing both left and right. I kept the layout design clean and simple so that I could enter this into the current Tiddly Inks challenge.

Ok then, I'm off to work. Have a good one! :)
