TGIF!
Since this is the last day I will be posting before jumping into Halloween cards next week I knew I wanted to get this cutie on a card. These two walkin' buddies from Mo's Digital Pencil are called Corgi and Bess and I paired them up with the Happy Home set from Sunny Studio Stamps to set the scene. Now they are ready to take a stroll through the neighborhood together, enjoying a beautiful fall afternoon. I'm hoping to do a bit of the same thing today as it looks like we have a perfect fall weekend ahead of us. Hopefully it's just as nice in your neck of the woods. :)
Have a great one my friends!

Hello, hello!
There was no way that I could ink up Oak Tree Boy yesterday and not get this adorable Oak Tree Girl on a card of her own. So I've got a bonus Whimsy post this week along with the satisfied feeling of completing the set, LOL! I didn't feel like I needed to reinvent the wheel with this one so I kept the wood grain frame idea and die cut acorn embellishments. The birthday theme stayed as well since I still had that sentiment set out on my desk. Another simply
sweet card ready to make someone's day. :)
Later gators!

Mornin' friends!
This week for my Whimsy post I inked up a sweet older Sylvia Zet image called Oak Tree Boy. These darling little characters tug at my heartstrings and make for super cute cards. I wanted this one to be for a fall birthday so I pulled out a fun sentiment and made it happen. To keep with the nature/fall season vibe I found this scrap of wood grain paper in my stash and used it to frame the scene. Then I just finished the card off with a little bow and some die cut acorns. The end result is simple and sweet... just how I like my cards. :)
See ya manana!

Hi there!
It's Tuesday and you know what that means... time for my weekly 7 Kids Your Crafting Supply Store card creation. In my last order from 7 Kids I got some of the fun new viking stamps from CC Designs along with some Neat and Tangled goodies. At the time I hadn't planned on pairing up the two but as I was putting the stamps away I really looked at this You're Pretty sentiment set and realized how perfect it would be with this fabulous Viking Nancy character. I love how together they take a rather superficial compliment and turn it into an empowering message. :)
Alrighty, there is still a couple weeks to play along in the September 'anything goes' challenge so head on over to the 7 Kids blog
and play along for the chance to win a $30 gift certificate!

Good morning!
With fall officially upon us I just had to print off this gorgeous Spirit of Autumn digi from Some Odd Girl and get her on a card. At first I couldn't decide what color her hair should be so I challenged myself to create a fall ombre effect from brown all the way down to golden yellow at the ends. I'm pretty happy with the final results, at least it mimics the changing leaves on the train of her gown quite nicely. When it came time to color a quick background I made sure to make the tall grass sway in the same direction as her wind blown tresses to really sell that illusion of a crisp, autumn breeze. I found the sentiment in an older 6x6 paper pad from Simple Stories and it couldn't have been more perfect. All in all I had a lot of fun coloring this one up. :)
Ok then, hope your week is off to a great start!

TGIF!
I'm wrapping up this week with a quick little card featuring the long retired Twinkle Tot Madelynn from TGF. I was kinda hoping that some of her fellow Twinkle Tots would be in the Farmer's Market yesterday but no luck. I'll just have to keep hoping and waiting a bit longer to complete my collection. In the meantime I have been waiting for the cooler fall season to get Madelynn on a card. She's so stylish with her long, fabulous scarf and pretty floral cap. In fact it was that flower that had me pulling this lovely floral paper to pair with her and pull all my Copic colors from. Total bonus that it gave me a built in sentiment for the card as well. :)
Have a crafty weekend everybody!

Olo!
The weather has definitely taken a turn for the cooler side with the nights getting down right chilly here. I'm not complaining though because I finally got to pull out all my comfy sweaters and snuggle up. I guess that's why this cutie caught my eye, with her oversized sweater and layers I could just feel the nip in the air. She's called Hello Autumn and I mean come on, how adorable is she? The birch trees made another appearance too because I thought that lone leaf needed somewhere to fall from. It makes for a sweet, simple scene that I am quite happy with. :)
Laters!
