Good morning!
OMGosh it is so freakin' cold here! Last night we got down to 2 degrees, and my fingers are actually cold while I sit here and type... but, still no snow so I'm trying not to complain. :)
I got a card made for this week's Farm Fresh Friday challenge over at The Greeting Farm, which is All That Sparkles. I hadn't inked up this Anya Strolls stamp yet and there is a part of me that really enjoys altering them a bit to work with that bag stamp from the Dress Me Anya set. So I wiped away the leash and the pup then re-drew in the missing part of her leg. Her hand positions were perfect for a few festive shopping bags and I even added a bit of tissue paper to them for a fun finishing touch. I added sparkle to her bags and outfit with a Stardust glitter pen and topped the card off with a sprinkling of bling to really hit home with the challenge. All in all I really enjoyed putting this card together and it makes me want to see some new Big Time Anyas joining the TGF family sooner rather than later... fingers crossed!
Ok, I might have to go hop back under the covers for a bit to really warm up. Hope you all are managing to stay warm and toasty.
Laters!

Hiya folks!
Well, I managed to make a card yesterday. This one is for the December challenge at Some Odd Girl which is to create your own background. Admittedly this is out of my comfort zone as I'm slightly addicted to my pattern papers. ;)
But I've been wanting to get Angel Mae colored up and on a card so this seemed like a good opportunity to stretch a little. As I colored Mae I was inspired by a pin that I saw on Pinterest of feathers with their tips dipped in gold paint. Gold tipped wings seemed quite appropriate for this Christmas angel. Which then led me to the background I would create... I grabbed a bottle of gold Color Shine and spritzed the entire card base. Once that was dry I also laid down a star stencil and brushed Gold Smooch over it. It's a pretty simple background but hey, I created it myself! It's just too bad that I can't get a good pic of all that glitter and sparkle, trust me though... it's there. :)
Okey dokey, I'm off to get this day under way. Thanks for stopping by!

Hi guys!
Yesterday was crazy so I didn't end up with any time to get crafty. So no knew Copic card was made but I had this non-coloring Christmas card already on my hard drive and it seemed like a good fit for today's post. Hopefully today will be a bit quieter so I'll have something to share tomorrow... I guess only time will tell. :)
Alright, time to get myself ready for work.
Later gators!

Olo!
I don't have a card for the CC Designs preview today so instead I thought it would be a fun opportunity to revisit one of the newer Sweet November Christmas stamps... Gingy. I have a soft spot for these sweet little cookies... probably because I have a sweet tooth for the actual thing, LOL!
Anywho, this is just a quickie post because I've got to get ready for a fun day on the town. I'm taking my mom to her check-up and then we will be going to see Frozen... squee! I'm more excited about that than I probably should be. ;)
Later gators!

Good morning!
Can you believe it is time for December previews over at CC Designs already? Because of the upcoming holidays it is going to be a small release, so small that Sweet November is taking a break this month. But that's ok, it's still jam packed with plenty of new winter stamp cuteness! :)
Today my card features a new Twila stamp from Roberto's Rascals called Snow Fun. This little girlie is zipping and zooming down any snow covered hill she can find. Because I wanted to make her work for a Christmas card using this sentiment, I went ahead and drew a tiny envelope for her to hold. Now Twila looks like she is rushing her letter to Santa to the post office so it gets to the North Pole in time.
The rest of the CCD team have even more fantastic preview cards to share with you over on the CCD blog today. As always, there are chances to win the new stamps while you are there so don't miss that!

Hi guys!
I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend. Mine was really good, the food was delicious and the company was even better. I've been busy working since the big day and when you are in retail this time of year, it doesn't leave much time for getting crafty. But I finally found a few minutes last night and it was nice to get off my feet and relax for a bit. :)
The card I made is for this week's Farm Fresh Friday challenge at The Greeting Farm. It's a color challenge to use a baby blue, silver, and white combo. I wanted to try a new head swap so I pulled out my Miss Anya sets to see what I could come up with. Hats Off Anya with her stylin' fedora seemed like a good candidate and when I spotted a similarly cool coat on one of the gals from the Rain, Snow, Shine set it was a match made in snowy heaven. All I had to do was wipe away her umbrella before stamping and draw the line of her leg back in as well as add some striped leggings and a pair of mittens to keep her warm in that frosty winter wonderland. Though with an outfit like that I doubt she is out hiking through the forest, I see Miss Anya here strolling through Central Park instead. ;)
Anywho, I'm enjoying a day off today and tomorrow I'll be back with a CC Designs December preview... see ya then!
