Olo!
As I was deciding what stamp to ink up yesterday my eye ran across the Sugar Nellie binder and after experiencing a twinge of sadness that they are no more, it felt like the perfect time to revisit their super sweet range of fairy stamps. This beauty is called Angelica and I'm ashamed to admit that this is the first time that I've gotten her on a card. I wanted the whole scene to be soft and dreamy, kinda like the early mornings this time of year as we start transitioning into cooler fall temperatures.With her blue and purple dress I imagine Angelica as a night fairy who got caught by the sunrise and now it's time for her to fly back to her secret hidee-hole until the evening returns. :)
Thanks for stop by today!

Hey there!
I've got a pretty little Christmas card to share today. This darling image is an older Sugar Nellie stamp called Hello Little Robin. It was kinda bittersweet inking her up knowing that after all these years Sugar Nellie is closing up shop. I will so miss their gorgeous stamps but it makes me even more grateful to have the stash of Sugar Nellie stamps that I do. I really need to make it a goal in the new year to ink more of them up. I paired this winter fairy and her birdie friend with the Winter Wonderland paper pad by Pebbles because I love the frosty purples and blues. It was a fun challenge to match up the Copics to the colors in the paper and I swear her blue skirt matches better in person than it does in this pic.
Ok friends, gotta run... talk at'cha later!

TGIF!
I had some time in my crafty room yesterday and I decided to look in my Sugar Nellie binder for some fall card inspiration. That's where I found Hazel and Nutty and I'm ashamed to admit that I think this is my first time coloring them up! It was worth the wait though because I had a blast with this pretty little fairy and her squirrelly friend. The papers are a random mix that I put together as I flipped through a stack of scraps and I just fell in love with this combo for a fall card even though there is none of the traditional oranges or reds that you usually find. Then I grabbed the Fancy Foliage die to accent the card design because I liked how it mimicked the white silhouettes in the paper. All in all it came together to be a pretty little card that I'm quite pleased with.
Take care and have a fabulous weekend everybody! :)

Olo!
It's day 2 of my 'month of mermaids' and I chose to print out the lovely Water Lily digi from Sugar Nellie. She's a recent purchase in preparation for this month's theme and she's currently on sale right now because before too long Water Lily will be discontinued and no longer available. Another mermaid daydreaming on a rock and once again I was inspired to color an entire scene for her. This time I went with a mid day look and gave Water Lily an inlet to call home... it looks so peaceful, don'tcha think? And I'm also entering this card into the current Anything Goes challenge at The Sugar Bowl.
Alrighty, time for me to scoot. Have a wonderful weekend everybody! :)

Hi there!
It looks like I can't pull myself away from the pastel color scheme because here I am again and this time a lovely little Gorjuss Girl got the treatment. What can I say... when you find yourself surrounded by pretty blossoming trees and blossoms in your day to day, I guess you can't help but be inspired. When I sat down to color and create yesterday I knew I wanted to make something for the current Sugar Bowl challenge and since it has been ages since I got a Gorjuss Girl on a card I went straight to the GG binder. I ended up choosing Rainy Daze because I really liked her fun hat and outfit. I colored Rainy to match this great floral print 'cause the black background adds a nice contrast to all the light pastels and she really pops. The rest of the design is super simple but I think it works. :)
Ok, thanks for stopping by today!

Hello, hello!
It's been quite some time since I've played along in the Sugar Bowl challenge and I really wanted to do something about that. So I grabbed my Sugar Nellie stamp binder and searched for just the right image to inspire me. I finally settled on this delightful flower fairy called Live, Laugh, Love. I simply adore these stamps and am keeping my fingers crossed that we might see some new ones someday soon, it feels like its been ages since there was a Sugar Nellie release. But I digress, I ended up pairing Live, Laugh, Love with a pretty scrap of floral paper from The Girls' Paperie and pulled all of my Copic colors from it. The design is a clean and simple one with only a sprinkling of sequins for embellishment. I gotta say that this card makes me happy, everything about it says springtime sunshine to me. :)
Well, enjoy this leap day today... try to do something fun 'cause we only get this every four years. ;)
Toodles!

Good morning!
I've made a card for the first Sugar Bowl challenge of the new year and as always the theme is 'anything goes'. I grabbed an oldie but a goodie stamp from Sugar Nellie called Furry Friends and sadly, I couldn't even find it in the store to link up to anymore. Originally I had planned on using this sweet pair of polar pals on a Christmas card but it didn't happen. I really didn't want to wait a whole 'nother year to color them up so I decided that a birthday card was the way to go. So I paired them up with a sentiment from Papertrey Ink and some pretty paper from BoBunny... perfect for a cold January birthday. :)
Alright, gotta run... talk at'cha later!

Hey there!
Well, apparently I am on a bit of a penguin kick because today I have colored up the Warm Winter Wishes digi stamp from Sugar Nellie and I am entering my card into this month's 'anything goes' Sugar Bowl Challenge. I love these lovey dovey penguins, they look so cute and cozy all wrapped up together in that scarf. Because I printed them out nice and big I didn't need much paper so I was able to use just a couple strips of scrap paper that I've been hanging on to for quite some time. The quilt like print seemed to fit the cozy feel of the card. :)
Alrighty, I'm off to work... have a great day!

Hi guys!
I hope everyone had a fun filled Halloween weekend and are now ready to jump headfirst right into Christmas cards. I will admit that as much as I enjoy making Halloween cards it was a treat to shift in to a whole different color palette with this first Christmas card of the season. It has been at least a month since I've played along in the Sugar Bowl Challenge so I printed out this super cute digi called Gift Wrapping and I am entering my card into the current 'anything goes' challenge over there. I paired this sweet Christmas fairy with some scraps of my all time favorite Simple Stories holiday collection. The faux burlap and stitching gets me every time and I think it really suits the nature like feel of this image. I also added a lot of sparkle and shine to the entire image but you can only really see it on the word 'joy' in the sentiment. Believe me, in person this CAS card is really quite eye catching. :)
Ok, happy Monday to you all and I shall see you again tomorrow!

Olo!
I'm running behind this morning so I've got to keep this post short and sweet. It's another day, another challenge... and I made today's card for the 'anything goes' challenge over at The Sugar Bowl. So I grabbed this gorgeous Fairy Glen digi called Dreams & Wishes and again chose a fall color combo that avoided the obvious oranges and reds. This time I mixed gold, green and brown. It's different but still pretty I think. Plus the kraft card base definitely keeps the overall design looking very natural and fall-ish.
Alrighty, gotta run. Laters! :)

My card today is for this month's 'anything goes' challenge over at The Sugar Bowl. When I sat down at my desk yesterday my kitties decided to be extra helpful. Between knocking stuff off of all the shelves and wanting to stretch out right in the middle of my table you could say I was surrounded by feline inspiration. So I grabbed this super cute Basik Thinking of You stamp from Sugar Nellie, pushed Cosmo to a more convenient part of the desk, and got busy coloring. I paired this kitty up with an older paper by October Afternoon because the floral print played off that bouquet in his arms quite nicely. Of course I then pulled all my colors from the paper as well, I think it is a great color palette for this last month of summer. :)
Well, have a good one everybody and I shall see ya again tomorrow.

Happy Friday to you!
Who's ready for another glorious weekend? The forecast here calls for a slight cool down, only topping out in the high 70s over the next couple days. I'm ready for the break though, it will be nice being able to turn off the AC and enjoy the breeze blowing through the windows again.
Today's card is all about sunshine however, so no cool down for this Gorjuss Girl. She's called Little Ducky and I got her from Sugar Nellie years ago. I'm not 100% sure if she has made it onto a card before now but I would like to think so because she is just too darn cute in those water wings! Paper wise I paired her up with some old KI Memories favorites and a new Bella Blvd favorite, surprisingly they coordinated quite well. I am entering this card into the current 'Anything Goes' challenge over at the Sugar Bowl.
Alrighty, have a great weekend everybody!

Hey there!
A few months ago I was lucky enough to be one of the winners at the Sugar Bowl challenge and this adorable Cherry Cupcake fairy was one of the digi stamps I had to use my gift certificate on. Isn't she just the cutest?! So it is only appropriate that I'm getting her on a card to enter the current SB challenge #126. I paired Cherry up with this great paper from Simple Stories that is actually one of their SNAP Packs which I think are made more for pocket scrapbooking but I love all the little bits of paper for my card making. The colors and patterns came together to create a fun and festive summertime celebration type vibe so I also stamped 'Happy Birthday' on the inside of the card.
Ok then, thanks for stopping by. I shall see you all again manana! :)

Mornin' friends!
I've got another Sugar Nellie mermaid to share today and another entry into their Sugar Bowl 'anything goes' challenge. This sweet stamp is called Under the Sea and both the mermaid and her sea turtle pal come together, though I cut the rubber apart before foam mounting it so that I can stamp them separately. This is another one where I started coloring without any papers or a specific design in mind. Once I had these Under the Sea friends colored up I searched through my stash for some paper that would inspire this card to come together. When I found this ooooold Karen Foster scrap I knew I had a winner. It mimics the look of a watercolor painting of waves and since watercolor is so hot right now this makes this card look much more creative than it really is, LOL! ;)
While fussy cutting the mermaid I chose to do a slight bit of altering on her left arm by snipping it off and re-gluing it just a smidge lower so that the angle of her invisible shoulder looked more natural to me. It's a little thing but it makes me so much happier with the end result. That seaweed down at the bottom of the card is just a single Prima flower that I cut up and I think it grounds the scene in a clever way.
Well, thank for popping by once again. Take care and I will see you manana! :)

Hi ya!
Today I'm playing along in the current 'anything goes' Sugar Bowl challenge and I have inked up the lovely Ocean's Gift stamp to do so. I have the rubber version of this image which is no longer available but the digi version can be found right here. She's definitely a bit edgier looking than most of my other mermaid stamps, what with that funky hair-do she's sportin'. So I wanted to show her softer side, thus the cool color palette of light blues, greens and purples. The papers are an old favorite of mine from the long defunct Scrapbook Wizard company. In fact I have this same bubble print in several other color ways and I am tempted to make more mermaid cards using them as well. :)
Alrighty, time for me to scoot my boot.
Talk at'cha later!

Good morning!
Did you know that Sugar Nellie is having a Gorjuss Girl party in honor of the new GG release? And part of the festivities includes a special Gorjuss Girl challenge which I am playing along with today. I chose to ink up Sowing the Seeds GG since she hadn't made it onto a card yet. Originally she is holding a bucket in one hand but I trimmed it off when I fussy cut her out so now it looks like she is just dancing through the flowers. Speaking of those flowers, these Vintage Blue scraps are from my most favorite collection that WeR ever came out with. The piece of floral print in the background wasn't big enough to fill the card front so I grabbed the largest rounded stitched square die from MFT and cut it twice, layered the two pieces and covered the seam with that strip of blue. Now it looks like a large rectangle with a perfect 1/8" border around the card. I also custom colored those clear gems with a V06 Copic to get just the right shade of purple to match the paper. Can you tell I was feeling pretty 'problem solver creative' yesterday? LOL ;)
Well thanks for saying 'hi' and I shall catch you all on the flip side. :)

Hello friends!
I've got more puppy love to share today with my card featuring the fabulous Hugs For Fifi stamp from Sugar Nellie. I was trying to color her friend Fifi to look like Lady from Disney's 'Lady and the Tramp' but I'm not 100% satisfied with the end result. Otherwise I'm quite pleased with how this card came together. The papers are a new 6x6 pad from Simple Stories called Enchanted and I picked them because I wanted more practice coloring with my BV Copics. Any excuse to play with purple these days seems to appeal to me and I gotta say, I think I nailed that shade from the papers. ;)
I'm also entering this card into the Anything Goes challenge over at The Sugar Bowl 'cause it's always fun to play along over there.
Ok, I'm outta here. TTYL! :)

Hi there!
I got some new stamps from Sugar Nellie over the weekend and I was very excited to ink them up and play a bit. They carry these cute Basik the cat stamps from the Scrapberry's range and while I love the kitty, the other little critters that are included in the sets are just as cute and can be the star of the show just as much as Basik. Which is what I did on this Easter card that I'm entering into the Sugar Bowl 'anything goes' challenge. I inked up five of the birdies from the Basik and Sparrow set and colored them up to look like baby chicks. I gave them a springtime scene to live in then kept the rest of the card super simple. Heck... even my sentiment is part of that great Bella Blvd paper that I'm using once again. :)
Well, I hope your week is off to a great start. I'm looking forward to a fun day at work today so I'm excited to get myself moving. Thanks for stopping by and I'll see ya tomorrow.

Mornin' friends!
Ugh, I've been knocked down by a wicked chest cold. It started yesterday with a nasty cough that just got worse the longer the day went on. Now I'm really thankful to already have today off too so that I can hopefully get over the worst of it before starting my work week. Unfortunately this didn't bode well for my to-do list but on the bright side I had a lot of free time to color while watching old episodes of Ancient Aliens, LOL!
That is why I finally decided to tackle this beautiful image from Sugar Nellie called Golden Nectar. That large flower she's sitting in has always intimidated me just a bit. So I settled down and got over my fear, especially after I found this old rose paper from Dear Lizzy... talk about great inspiration. I love how it looks like this sweet fairy has stopped for a rest in the middle of a rose garden and she's saying, 'hello there' to that butterfly who is also passing by. Since we are allowed 3 entries into the monthly Sugar Bowl challenge I'm going to be entering this card into the draw. The 'anything goes' theme makes it really easy, all you have to do is use any one of Sugar Nellie's fabulous stamps. :)
Alrighty, I'm going to grab the Kleenex and head back to bed for a bit.

Hello, hello!
I'm playing along in another challenge today. It's 'anything goes' in the Sugar Bowl this month so I inked up this adorable stamp called Wonderful Day, which is part of the Scrapberry range over at Sugar Nellie. I wanted to use this pair for a fun Valentine so I did a slight bit of altering to the image on her shirt, turning it into a heart. And the paper isn't even from a Valentine collection but I thought the print matched the little hippie vibe this girlie is sportin' plus it brought in the green and blue to match her bird buddy. The sentiment is a compilation of two different stamp sets, the 'tweet' comes from a Simon Says set and 'on you' from a small set from Papertrey Ink. I think they work pretty well together if I do say so myself. ;)
Ok, time for me to scoot.
Later gators!
