TGIF!
The East Wind put up a new challenge last week and the theme this time is 'love and romance'. As I was looking through my digis to find the perfect cutie for this card I came across Aurora Hair Tree and thought that with a little hair cut she would have a perfectly romantic looking up-do. So I colored her up to match this pretty paper and then fussy cut the ends off her hair until she had a dreamy Gibson Girl coif. Now I think she looks like she's ready for a Valentine's Day date with her special love. :)
Alrighty, thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful weekend my friends!

Good morning!
It's still plenty cold around here with our highs hovering just above freezing. At least there isn't any new snowfall on the forecast in the immediate future. The constant bundling up did inspire me to print out this beauty called 'Baby it's cold outside' from The East Wind and create a card with her. I decided to grab my R80 family of Copics since they are underused in my collection and once I paired that mauve pink with the warm greys to make the plaid scarf it totally reminded my of a shirt I had as a kid back in the 80's, LOL! This pretty gal is totally pulling off the look though. The birch bark background paper is more of that Simple Stories Winter Wonderland collection and I think it adds to the cold, outdoorsy feel that I was going for. :)
Well, I should get moving... got a full to-do list to tackle today.

Hello again!
Today I've made a card to play along in the new challenge over at The East Wind. The theme is 'bump in the night' and while you would think that meant Halloween, it's actually a clever title for an embossing challenge. I decided to do a little of both and created this Halloween card using the lovely and mysterious looking Lucy Loo Hair digi and a spider web embossing folder for the background. Is she a sultry witch or maybe a glam vampire? Who knows, but she is definitely offering up trouble with that bottle of poison. ;)
Alrighty, busy day ahead... talk at'cha later!

Hey there!
Today I am playing in the current "shine on" challenge over at The East Wind. The last time I joined the fun over there my card was all about a cool night sky scene so this time I wanted to go in the other direction and create a bright sunrise to shine down on the lovely Beautiful Angel digi stamp. Isn't she special? I got Beautiful Angel because she totally reminds me of my sweet cousin Alli and I even colored her up to have the same blonde hair and blue eyes. The cozy turtleneck sweater has me itchin' to go through my own wardrobe and start pulling out all my cool weather clothes. I created the sunrise with an MFT stencil and a handful of Distress Inks... what a cool effect for very little work, LOL!
Alrighty then, thanks for stopping by... have a great day!

Mornin' crafty friends!
Last week I was introduced to a new-to-me digi shop through the Markers! Papers! Digis! Facebook group. The East Wind is a little shop full of lovely ladies to color up and this beauty is actually the August newsletter freebie called Aurora Marilyn. I totally love her big, beautiful eyes and up swept hair do. The East Wind also runs a challenge and the current theme is "out of this world". As soon as I saw that, I could just picture Aurora Marilyn as an interstellar princess traveling across the galaxy. So before coloring her up in all her silvery glory I masked Aurora off and used a bunch of Distress Inks and a white Mr Huey mist to create the starry sky behind her. Then I inked up this cool banner sentiment to tie the whole card together, the blue looks a bit jarring in my photo for some reason but it is a much better match to the background in person.
Okey dokey, thanks for stopping by. I'll catch ya on the flip side! :)
