I Found It...

Hi guys! 

We are previewing a brand new line over at All That Scraps today! There are three new fairy images by Olga and Alexey and my card features the 'I Found It' image. It looks like this winged cutie has just found herself a fun Easter surprise. I knew right away that I wanted to deck this little fairy out in spring pastels and luckily I still had some scraps from this old Imaginisce paper line hanging around. So I matched my Copics to the papers as best I could and let the whimsical prints do the rest of the work bringing the whole card together.

Now, if you go check out the ATS blog you will find some fabulous inspiration using these new stamps from my team mates and a chance to win these new cuties too. Oh, and don't forget that all of the new February stamps will be available to purchase tonight in the ATS store. :)

Later gators!

Bonnie bunny Easter candy...

It's time to take another fun filled trip to Sweet November Land and spring is always a magical time to trek back there. I hear the Pixie's are getting ready to celebrate the Easter holiday so let's head on over to the meadows they call home and see if we can't get our hands on some amazing Easter candy. :)

After munching on all of that delicious chocolate yesterday it's probably best that we walk it off for a bit. Luckily we've got a beautiful garden path to ramble on that is surrounded by lush spring flowers in full bloom. Tulips, daffodils, crocus, and lily of the valley spread out as far as the eye can see in a riot of color. Skipping toward us is a wee pixie with a pair of bunny ears bobbing on her head. With a giggle and a wave she introduces herself as Bonnie and this is her Easter garden that we are enjoying. She is quick to show off her prize blooms and gather small bouquets for each and every one of us so that we can enjoy their beauty even after we leave this magical place. And for one lucky crafter there is some special candy to be had as well... check it out... 

The Easter Pixie Bonnie candy kit includes; one Sweet November Easter Pixie Bonnie rubber stamp set, nine 6x6 sheets of Making Memories Boho Chic paper, Prima flowers and Kaiser Craft pearls, ribbon, twine, buttons, punched butterflies, paper doilies, four envelopes, four card blanks and my card. 

All you have to do for a chance to win the candy is leave a comment on this post. If you link to the candy on your own blog that is great and much appreciated but not a requirement... I want everyone to be able to play along. And when I say everyone, I mean everyone. I will ship the candy anywhere in the world so everyone is encouraged to play! :)
The candy will stay open through Friday, February 8th and I will announce the winners on Saturday, February 9th.

Now it's time to tip toe through the tulips right on over to the Sweet November Gals' blogs! Nancy and Marion each have cards blossoming with creativity! :)

Instead of using random generator I will be printing out names and tossing them in a hat SO if you leave comments for the SN gals on their blogs, you will get an extra name in the hat for each one that you do... this will up your chances of winning the candy... fun, fun, fun!

And that's a wrap on the third and final sneak peek of the Sweet November February release. Be sure to check out the All That Scraps blog today for even more Easter Pixie peeks and another chance to win the new stamps!

Believe in the bunny... and candy...

I hear the Pixie's are getting ready to celebrate the Easter holiday so let's head on over to the meadows they call home and see if we can't get our hands on some amazing Easter candy. :)

Mmmm... does anyone else smell chocolate? There is definitely a deliciously sweet scent in the air and if we follow our noses I bet we will find Pixie Hershel. Ah, there he is, over by the large oak tree that he works inside of creating all sorts of Easter confections. Today he is busy carving milk chocolate Easter bunnies and each one is a unique little masterpiece, almost too cute to eat. Almost. It is hard to resist Hershel's offer of a sample taste so who wants to share? I'll take the ears if someone wants the tail end. It's hard not to rave about this amazing chocolate and Hershel is quite pleased to hear that all of his hard work is bringing so much joy to everyone. And as an extra special treat he is also offering up some very special candy for one lucky crafter. Take a look... 

The Easter Pixie Hershel candy kit includes; one Sweet November Easter Pixie Hershel rubber stamp set, nine 6x6 sheets of Making Memories Sydney paper, Prima flowers and Kaiser Craft pearls, ribbon, twine, buttons, punched butterflies, wood veneer tweets, four envelopes, four card blanks and my card.

It's a candy hunt for this SN preview...

It's time to take another fun filled trip to Sweet November Land and spring is always a magical time to trek back there. I hear the Pixie's are getting ready to celebrate the Easter holiday so let's head on over to the meadows they call home and see if we can't get our hands on some amazing Easter candy. :)

Down by the duck pond we bump into little pixie Esther. She has been quite busy helping the Easter Bunny come up with ideas for hiding eggs. Esther is such a clever girl and she always comes up with the most creative places to stash those beautifully decorated eggs. And since she has an unexpected group to entertain she is delighted to put on an impromptu egg hunt just for us. What fun it is to search high and low for those Easter treasures and Esther just sits back and giggles as she hints about how hot or cold we may be to finding another egg for our baskets. Finally after scouring the meadow all morning long Esther tells us that there is one final egg still hidden and the lucky crafter who finds it will get some pretty sweet candy to take home, check it out...    

The Easter Pixie Esther candy kit includes; one Sweet November Easter Pixie Esther rubber stamp set, nine 6x6 sheets of Making Memories Garden Party paper, Prima flowers and Kaiser Craft pearls, ribbon, twine, buttons, die cuts, four envelopes, four card blanks and my card.

Hugs N Kisses...

Hi guys!

I had a busy day at work yesterday that lead right into a busy Saturday night. Soooo... even though I had grand ambitions there was no new card made. Fortunately I've got a non-coloring card sitting on my hard drive just waiting to be shared. It's a mix of a lot of different companies and can be a Valentine or not. 

Alrighty, I'm going to go back to bed for a bit and then do my best to avoid all things Super Bowl the rest of the day. I'm so not a sports gal... good thing I have Downton to look forward to tonight. ;)

Laters!  

Supply list:
cardstock- Bazzill 
paper- Glitz, The Girls' Paperie, Pebbles
vellum
My Mind's Eye diecuts
Memory Box butterfly dies
Kaiser Craft gems and pearls
ribbon

The best day ever...

Hello there!

So I got an order the other day that included some new Collectable papers by My Mind's Eye and as soon as I laid eyes on the Remarkable range I knew I had to make a boy card with it. And since I planned on coloring up an Ian stamp from The Greeting Farm I hopped on over to the TGF blog to see what the new Farm Fresh Friday challenge was and if it would work with my plan. At first I was a bit disappointed when I saw that it is lace and ribbon... more of a girly look than what I wanted to do. But then I remembered this great piece of twill ribbon that I've had that would definitely keep with the more masculine theme and still allow me to play along with the challenge. It already had these metal grommets in it and I went ahead and added some enamel dots to them for little pops of color on the twill. Oh, and I toned down the white letter stickers a bit by coloring them with my E40 marker, which helped the 'wishing you' to match better with the papers. 
As for Mr. Ian, I did a head swap because I wanted to get Sitting Casual Ian standing up. So I grabbed oldie but goodie Dress Me Ian and found the perfect outfit too. A little snip snip of the scissors and Casual Ian had a brand new body to show off. I know I bring it up every time that I use the old Dress Me set but I'm still keeping my fingers crossed that someday we will get an updated Dress Me set with open eyed Anya and Ian and brand new outfits to add to their wardrobe. A girl can dream any way. ;)

Ok, it's time for me to get ready for work.
Later gators!

Be mine...

Hey, hey!

TGIF to all my stampin' peeps. :)

I put together a quick Valentine yesterday and had fun altering Devilish Lucy from CC Designs to be more suited to the whole love theme. It was an easy change as all I had to do was wipe away her little horns and tail before stamping and then draw in the missing lines. Now she looks like a funky little chick in her pink patent leather boots and hot pink dress. I added glitter pen to the white skirt that gives her some sparkle and the bow just because I thought she needed more pink. :)

All of the other papers and goodies are from the new Doodlebug Lovebirds line. And let's face it, I just wanted an excuse to play with new stuff, LOL! I'm in love with those little birds, aren't they tweet? ;)

Well, take care and I'll catch ya all again in 24.
