Hi there!
So I have been wanting to make a card for the newest ADFD challenge 'Modern Christmas' since it went up on Friday because I really liked the mix of black and white with the rainbow of bright colors. And I knew just the stamp that I wanted to color up for it as well, the super adorable Wild Star Nymph. I did a bit of altering to her black eyes so that I could color them in a nice deep blue just like Cindy Lou Who which this little gal kinda reminded me of. I used the rainbow of colors on the stars and kept the rest of the card design clean and simple for that mod Christmas look. My Wink of Stella pen sort of exploded a bit on the stars in her garland so for once you can actually see the sparkle on this card, LOL! ;)
Ok, have a good one everybody!

Good morning!
Yesterday was a crazy, busy day for me so I didn't have much time to spend in the crafty room once I got home. Luckily there was a card already started on my desk but the reason why it had been abandoned was because even though I really liked this sentiment block that I had cut out from the paper it was so large that it didn't leave much room for a colored up character stamp. I thought about grabbing the Sister Stamps peeking bear again but then I asked myself, "Self, why can't I turn any stamp into a peeking stamp?" So I grabbed one of the boys from the TGF Secret Santa set, cut off his head and colored it up super quick. Then I just drew him a couple of hands and tucked him behind that sentiment and the card was done... yeah! ;)
Ok folks, gotta go. 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!

TGIF my friends!
The Bellariffic challenge for this week was 'anything goes' so I didn't want to miss an opportunity to get a card made for it, especially when I still have a couple Christmas Tiny Townies waiting in the wings. I decided to color up the super cute Jenny Feels Joyful and rather than coloring the birds to look like chicks I turned them into penguins instead. I paired them all up with some retired Making Memories goodies that I've been hoarding. MM always had the best papers and embellishments... it is still hard for me to believe that they aren't in business any more. I love how it all came together for a classy little CAS card. :)
Alrighty then, have a wonderful winter weekend!

Hello, hello!
We finally got our first real snow fall over the past two days so it is looking like a winter wonderland around here. Not only that but a lot of the packages have started to arrive from all my Black Friday online shopping so I'm feeling like one of Santa's elves hiding them away in preparation for wrapping and gifting. I guess that's why I grabbed Toymaker Elf from Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps for my card today as he seems to be busy getting ready for the big day too. At first I just had him stamped on the cardstock with the sentiment beside him in black but as I started to put the card together I decided to re-stamp the sentiment on black to make it look like a chalk board hanging in the workshop. I drew a frame around it and stamped some pine boughs on top to really complete the look. The scene still needed something, so I grabbed the little doll accessory stamp that came with Charlotte and altered her a bit to be less creepy and more cutsie... perfect! And I'm going to go ahead and enter this in to the 'anything goes' Wednesday challenge on the KK blog.
Smooches!

Hello friends!
There is a new Farm Fresh Challenge for December over at The Greeting Farm and it is all things Christmas. So I grabbed the Secret Santa set, which is full of adorable new winter themed Anyas and Ians, and finally settled on this cutie with her pigtails and fluffy coat to be the star of today's card. I paired her up with some older Crate papers because I just love that retro reindeer print and the polka dot even kind of looks like hoof prints to me. I can picture Anya visiting a petting zoo in hopes of finding Rudolph munching on some hay. ;)
Later gators! :)

Olo!
I'm so happy because I finally got around to making a card for the current watercolor background challenge over at A Day For Daisies. First I printed off the chubby, cheery Snowball Scott and colored him up in some bright, traditional red and green. I love how rollie pollie he is and coloring his coat as it stretches across that big belly was a lot of fun. Then I grabbed some blue and yellow Distress Inks and 'smooshed' the colors on to the watercolor paper background. I purposely didn't leave a lot of drying time between the two because I wanted that mix of green to show up where they met. I think this background adds a playful energy to the overall design of the card which is just what I was going for. Needless to say, I'm a very happy crafter. ;)
Ok, time to bundle up and keep warm... the temps haven't risen above freezing for the past couple days and we are all feeling Jack Frost's pinch. I hope things are warmer in your neck of the woods. :)
