Good morning!
As I was getting ready to make cards for next week's CCD previews I came across this adorable little stamp that somehow got lost in the shuffle this month. Seeing as how today is the last day of February I had to remedy the situation by getting this chipper duo onto a card just in the nick of time. :)
The stamp is called Splish Splash and it is part of Roberto's Rascals February release. These cute chickadees were quick to color and I even added some Glossy Accents to the puddle for some extra 'pop'. The papers are from the new Charmed Life 6x6 paper pad by Simple Stories. The bold kelly green paired with mustard and navy isn't a color combo that I'm usually drawn to but I ended up having a lot of fun with it on this card... it had just the right look for a pair of chicks enjoying a spring shower.
Alrighty then, have a great weekend and I hope to see you back here for the CC Designs sneak peeks in a couple days. I'll give ya a hint... the Easter Bunny is on his way... ;)

Hey there!
Sorry about my absence the last few days but I've had some stuff come up that is taking a lot of my time. It's not health issues or anything, everyone is fine, but it is just something I'm dealing with at the moment and it will probably keep my posting here kinda erratic for the next week or so. But that doesn't mean I won't try to make it into my crafty room every chance that I get. ;)
Yesterday I sat down at my desk with the goal of getting a card done for this week's Farm Fresh challenge over at The Greeting Farm. It's a photo inspiration, which I'm always drawn to, and I took the navy/aqua/mint/cream color combo for my inspiration. I've used a couple of Creepers along with a bit of altering to create this sassy little diva. I've had the head of the Hallo Bride Creeper digi sitting on my desk ever since I used her body this past Halloween and I thought that with just a bit of a hair cut she could make for a cute short haired chick. Then I paired her up with Creeper Piper's body and she was ready to strut her stuff. I may be biased but I think she turned out pretty cool. :)
Alrighty then, I'll catch ya later!

Welcome to the weekend everybody!
While the weather still hasn't made up it's mind here... one day it snows, the next it all melts off... I've decided to move on with my spring themed card making once and for all. :)
Sad to say, this baby fairy has been stamped and sitting on my desk for the better part of a year just waiting to make it onto a card. Since I just got a brand new set of these baby sprites from Penny Black I figured I should color up this cutie from the Fairy Sweet set before diggin' into the new ones. Plus I have this great sheet of paper from the Pebbles Garden Party collection that looks like pretty seed packets which I've been really wanting to use. I chose the Forget Me Nots as they most looked like the little flower the fairy is holding and went from there. With so much going on in the paper this ended up being one of the rare cards that I saved the sentiment for the inside, it says 'Sending Love, Just Because'.
Well, that's all I've got for today. Thanks for stopping by and I'll catch ya manana!

Good morning!
Is it Thursday already? Sheesh, where did this week go? It feels like I had all this time to get stuff done and none of it really happened... what a slacker I've been. To prove that fact, this card that I'm sharing isn't even one I made this week. Nope, it is about a month old but I had a good reason for waiting to post it here.
You see, my bloggin' buddy Berenice contacted me way back in December about her niece Jessica, and how she wanted to surprise Jess with one of my birthday cards in person. I was more than happy to help Berenice out, and even more so when she sent me this fabulous digi stamp to use on my card. Not only is Jess a fellow color enthusiast, but she is also a young entrepreneur who started her own little digi shop to help raise money for her college education and this Cupcake Time image is from her shop; Jess' College Fund. This pretty birthday baker was a dream to color and with the scene she is in I really didn't want to fuss up the rest of the card too much.
So I mailed it off to Berenice last month and Jessica had it for her birthday here in February... Happy Birthday Jessica and I hope your digi shop continues to grow and grow! :)

Hi guys!
Sorry about being MIA these last couple days, it was the Red, Wine, and Chocolate weekend in town so I was extra busy at work. Which wouldn't have been so bad if we hadn't have gotten slammed with snow all day Saturday. I'm really not a fan of that ol' groundhog who predicted six more weeks of winter because this is getting ridiculous.
All that white on the ground must have been what inspired me to go ahead and make another winter themed card. I know I mentioned a few weeks back that I had originally gotten Skyward Anya for her altering capabilities and this amalgamation of Anyas is the result of that idea. I used Cuddle Anya's head with the face on her hat wiped away and the bear ears trimmed off. I then paired Skyward's body with Latte Anya's to-go cup and a drawn in arm and they all came together to make this winter ready sweetie. The colors for her outfit where actually inspired by my own winter coat and scarf... it's definitely hard to miss that bright orange when you are out in a winter wonderland, LOL!
Alrighty then, time to get another week started.
TTYL!
Supply list:

Happy Valentine's Day!
I got the final Night Out Miss Anya that was left to be colored onto my last Valentine for the year. This little girlie is looking pretty in pink for her big romantic date with Ian tonight. Hmmm... which has me thinking, we really need a Night Out Ian set to go with. I would totally buy that in a heart beat! I guess I'll just have to keep my fingers crossed that Marie will grant my wish someday soon. :)
The papers are from last year's Basic Grey collection called True Love and to be honest I didn't really think I would use this particular print with the roses, certainly not first out of the pad any way. But as per usual lately, I'm drawn to anything that makes the creating process quick and easy. A bit of sparkle and a pearl heart for Anya to hold on to and I was done.
Alrighty then, be sure to eat some chocolate today because we all know that it what makes Valentine's Day really great, LOL! ;)

Hi guys!
I'm trying to squeeze in a couple more Valentines before the fourteenth arrives. For this one I grabbed the Pink Ribbon Mae digi that I had previously printed out and paper pieced her dress so that the ribbon didn't show anymore. This made her a bit more generic and suitable for a Valentine rather than rallying for a cause, plus that tiny floral print just makes for a pretty little cocktail dress. ;)
The paper is an older My Mind's Eye 6x6 pad and to be honest I didn't really think that I would ever use that Eiffel Tower print. But as I was pulling sheets and trying them out with Mae I really liked how it kind of set the scene without me having to dig out a bunch of embellishments. I think that Mae looks quite pleased to be spending her Valentine's Day in the city of love.
Okey dokey, time to get this day started.
Laters!
