Mornin' friends!
It's been ages since I've played along in the MFT challenges and when I saw the new sketch yesterday it really spoke to me. So I pulled out the super fun You Gnome Me set that I got recently and inked up a bunch of the different stamps from it. I found this cute paper at my local crafty store last week and I couldn't be happier with how well it sets the scene for this little guy. It also gave me the color scheme for his outfit as well. The end result is a cheery card to put a smile on any one's face. :)
Alrighty then, have a good one!

Hi there!
I've got a quick post before I run out the door this morning. I made this card for the MFT sketch challenge that is closing today so I am squeaking it in just in time. I used this super sweet elf from the Santa's Elves set and paired him up with some new Echo Park paper. I love how both Santa and Rudolph are peeking in the background behind him, it makes me want to watch the old stop motion Rudolph show from my childhood... "Why am I such a misfit, I am not just a nitwit, I'm a deer of a reindeer, why don't I fit in?". LOL ;)
Ok sorry to post and run but I've got a busy day ahead.
Later gators!

Hello, hello!
Wow, what a weekend! It was such a great celebration this year, the weather was hot, the water was cold and the bar-b-que was delish! Nothing but relaxing and good times I tell ya. Now its Monday though and time to get back to reality I guess.
I did get a card made yesterday for Sketch 235 over on the My Favorite Things challenge blog. I used the Tail Wag set and played things kind of fast and loose with the sketch, though I think the basic elements are all still there. This roley-poley hound dog was just begging to get on a card and as stubby as those little legs are I figured he could use a comfy doggy bed to relax on. Which in turn inspired the tongue in cheek sentiment that I went with. ;)
Ok, I really need to get a move on this morning.
Laters!

Hello again!
It rained all day yesterday so I spent a lot of time in the ol' crafty room. I should have been cleaning it up a bit but instead I made more of a mess. But that's ok 'cause I was in the creative groove which felt great. :)
I broke my streak of only using scrap papers on this year's Easter cards but when I saw this cute new paper from Bella Blvd I had to get a couple sheets. I love their prints but I still wish they would make them available in 6x6 pads for us card makers. I guess I'll just keep hoping for that to happen but in the mean time I'm not going to not get the 12x12.
So I made today's card using the MFT sketch 219 challenge. I flipped the original design but the basics are all there. And I chose the I'm All Ears Pure Innocence cutie to be the star of the show. But I couldn't leave her alone for this one, nope, she needed pigtails to mimic those bunny ears. So I grabbed a Copic multi-liner and drew in a few simple lines to lengthen her hair. Pretty cute if I do say so myself. ;)
Okey dokey, I'm off to work this morning.
Have a great Monday everybody!

Olo!
When I saw Color Challenge #16 over on the MFT challenge blog I knew I had the perfect paper scraps to work with the purple/green/yellow/brown combo. This older Doodlebug paper is so whimsical and I think it works great for a sweet Easter card featuring an even sweeter Pure Innocence cutie. At first I thought I was using a stamp that hadn't been inked up yet but when I looked up the Easter cards I made last year there she was... One of My Favorite Peeps Pure Innocence. Not only that but I had paired her with Doodlebug paper then too, LOL! Luckily, the colors and designs are so different that it gives her a whole new feel. In general I don't use a lot of purple and after putting this card together I'm thinking I need to remedy that situation because it is quite lovely.
Well, I've got the day off today and a big to-do list that starts with a much needed hair cut appointment this morning. So I'll see ya tomorrow then! :)

Hello again!
Well thanks to Carisa, I've got another challenge to play along with as she directed me to the MFT weekly challenge blog. This week we are to follow a sketch which was just the jumping off point that I needed. I flipped through my binder of Pure Innocence stamps and came across Puppy Girl. I've had this sweet stamp for some time but I can't honestly remember if she's been inked up yet or not. Heck, I couldn't even find her in the MFT store anymore. In either case I really enjoyed coloring her up to match these new October Afternoon papers that I recently got... that cloud print is a particular favorite of mine. For some reason the warm colors in the papers had me thinking beagle when it came time to color her little pup and I think he's not looking half bad if I do say so myself. I stayed pretty true to the sketch which made this another quick and easy card.
Alrighty time for me to jet.
Later gators!
