Mornin'!
I've had that little scrap of old Chatterbox floral print paper for ages and even as small as it is I could never bring myself to chuck it in the garbage. Yesterday I finally decided to build a card around it once and for all. So I grabbed Blush Bebe from TGF, she's another Blush Society digi that I masked off her sad eyes and drew in new wide open eyes. I colored this pretty girl to match the paper, which just so happens to be one of my most fave color combos. I also used one of the new clear sentiment sets and coordinating die from TGF as well. The hello die was cut out twice, once in white and once in brown then I just cut them both in half so that the sentiment changed color as it went across the background. It's a simple CAS card and I am so happy with how it all came together. :)
Alrighty, time for me to scoot my boot!

Hey there!
So yesterday I promised a little Gorjuss Girl Halloween fun and here she is. I chose to ink up The Getaway, not only because she is one of my newer GG purchases but more so because she is a chick with plenty of attitude. Then I found this scrap of moody looking night sky paper to pair up with her so I decided to forgo the traditional Halloween colors and put Getaway all in purple. She may be all alone on a dark, spooky night but this little girlie isn't afraid of anything that goes bump out there, LOL! I am also going to go ahead and enter this card into the current 'anything goes' challenge over at the Sugar Bowl. Hope you like it Tracey! ;)
Smooches!

Hello, hello again!
So this past weekend my pal Tracey challenged me to turn a Gorjuss Girl into a Halloween image on one of my cards. I still plan on doing just that but when it came time for me to make a card yesterday you can say that I got a bit side tracked. I was looking through my file full of pre-stamped/printed images with every intention of finding the perfect GG but when I saw sweet Ava from Saturated Canary (I would link but she doesn't appear to be in the SC store anymore) I knew that Tracey would get a kick out of seeing her transformed into a colorful little Halloween cutie. I was imagining Wednesday Addams with her pale skin and dark hair and eyes but instead of a somber black frock I went with a riot of Halloween colors on all those layers of ruffles. As for embellishments, well I stuck with a few fussy cut pumpkins and a die cut black cat to keep Ava company. :)
Ok folks, gotta go. TTYL!

TGIF!
I can hardly believe this is the last Friday of September... crazy! Even crazier is that this is the first Bellariffic Friday challenge that I've gotten to play along with all month long. Better late than never though and hopefully I can make up for it with a super cute Halloween card starring the sassiest little witch I have ever seen, Tiny Townie Willow the Witch. The challenge is a sketch this week and I ended up following it pretty faithfully. Once again I had a great excuse to put this moon stamp to work and I gotta tell you, my Halloween cuties love basking in its glow. I decided to color up the chickies to instead look like pudgy crows, which is all fine and good until I colored the feathers on her hat black as well. Then I got to thinking... gee, I sure hope those two aren't wearing sheets because Willow plucked all their plumage just to make a fashion statement! Maybe this card is scarier than it first appears, LOL! ;)
Ok folks, I'm off for a fun filled day of coloring. Hope you get a chance to get creative this weekend too.
Smooches!

Mornin' friends!
This turned out to be a bit of a throw back Thursday since I decided to revisit the adorable Playful Henry stamp from CC Designs. It's been a couple years since I'd last colored him up and it is always fun to see the different approaches and the progress I've continued to make in my coloring. For my card layout I wanted to play off the motion Henry is creating as he kicks his way through those leaves by die cutting and coloring a few more leaves to burst out of the frame. It was only after all that that I realized there was no room for a sentiment, which is nearly unheard of for an Amy card, LOL! But have no fear, I printed out my own sentiment for the inside of the card that reads, "It's a good day to have a great day". All in all I had a great time creating this card and it is a good reminder that as much as I love getting new stamps there are lots of treasures like Henry in my stash that I shouldn't forget about. ;)
Talk to ya later!

Hi again
You didn't think I could leave it at only coloring up Ian from the Together Anywhere set did you? Of course not, this beautiful Miss Anya was just begging to take a fall stroll as well and who I am to deny her her fun? Because I love, love, love her this Miss Anya was deemed worthy of being paired up with one of my most favorite papers ever from the long defunct Scrapworks. I only have scraps of it left so the stamps I use with it have to be extra special. I know, I know... total paper nerd here, LOL! But didn't the card turn out simple but oh so pretty? Yep, I think so too. ;)
Well, that's all for today. Have a wonderful Wednesday! :)

Hi guys!
I've got a quick post for a simple card today. This handsome dude is Ian from the Together Anywhere set and I think he looks pretty darn slick. With his turtleneck sweater and long leather jacket I could just picture Ian visiting the country for a weekend and taking in a fall festival while he's there. I can't tell you how much I love these bigger My Guy Ians and Miss Anyas, while I was coloring this one up I couldn't help but hope that we see some new sets added to the TGF family sooner rather than later. Who's with me?
Alrighty, I'm totally running behind this morning and there is so much to do.
Talk at'cha later peeps!
