Sending warm fuzzies...

Good morning!

Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! Talk about needing some warm fuzzies, it hasn't gotten over 20 degrees here the last few days and the rest of the week isn't looking to get much better. It's all about layers, layers, layers just so we don't freeze! Hopefully things are warmer in your neck of the woods. :)

Well, sometimes I feel that my card layouts kinda start falling into a rut and that is the perfect time to venture out and find a great sketch to shake things up a bit. So that is exactly what I did with today's card... I decided to play along with this week's CA&Friends Saturday sketch challenge for a fun change of pace. And my image is an alteration that I've been dying to do ever since I spotted Fuzzy Wuzzy Oliver's fantastic hat! I head swapped digi Wild Sprout Audrey's head (fingers crossed we see her in rubber someday soon... nudge, nudge, wink, wink!) with digi Wild Sprout Camille's body. Then I plunked Oliver's hat (doesn't it remind you of Cousin Eddie's from the Christmas Vacation movie? LOL) on her to finish off the ensemble. With her little tongue sticking out she totally makes me think of a kid trying to catch snowflakes during a snow fall. Anywho, I really love how this one came together. :)

Alrighty, before I head off for the day I just want to remind you that there is still time to get entered into the Sweet November Princess candies below and I will be announcing all of the winners in tomorrow's post!
Good luck!

Another TGF sneak peek!

Hello, hello!

So did you all enjoy checking out the new Cheeky gals that are sauntering on to the Farm this Tuesday? I can't tell you how excited I was to see those three lovelies joining their friends... what can I say, their saucy attitudes are way too much fun to play with!

Today we are switching gears just a bit from the sassy to the sweet. That's right, we've got a brand new Oliver and Amelia set to introduce you to and this pair of tots is as adorable as ever! The set is called My favorite Things and like the Cheekies, will be available come the 1st. :)

My card today features Amelia, simply because it looks like she's sporting a couple of my fave things too... strawberries and cupcakes... YUM! I also used Pam's cool Saturday sketch over at CA&Friends and love how this one turned out. :)

Oh and don't forget about the fab release party that will be going down Monday night at 7pm cst over on the TGF PCP page... be there or be square, as the saying goes! ;)

Some beach... somewhere

Welcome to the weekend my friends!

Sad to say I've got to work it again so not much play time for me the next couple days. That must be what inspired my card today... I was channeling my inner worker-bee self onto a beautiful sunny beach with the waves tickling my toes and nothing to do but r-e-l-a-x. ;)

At least it looks like little Anya is enjoying herself, LOL! Yep, I altered Yoga Anya just a bit by wiping away her pants and re-drawing in some bare legs. I also added the sunglasses from the Summer Wardrobe set to complete her beachy ensemble. I did have to draw a beach towel and trashy romance novel for her to chill with too. :)
Oh and I think I finally nailed that sun tanned look that I've been going for, though it looks right on the edge of turning into a nasty burn so Anya maybe should start to think about heading into the cabana soon, LOL!
Ok so this card is also based off of Pam's fabby Saturday sketch over at CA&Friends and it couldn't have been more perfect for this little scene I created. If ya hop on over to the CA blog you'll see even more wonderful examples using it from the rest of the team and we encourage you to play along as well!
