Olo!
Yesterday was a bit of a whirlwind but once I got home I managed to whip up this quick card. I grabbed Peek-a-boo Pure Innocence because she is a fast image to color up plus I had this scrap of View Master paper that I thought would be really clever to pair with her and her coordinating sentiment. Yep, I'm not going to lie... it makes me chuckle. :)
More scraps made it out of the scrap bags and the results are nice and bright which I think makes for a cheery 'missing you' type of card. You want to make the recipient smile, right?
I know this is a short post but I've got a couple other things that I really need to get done this morning before I really start my day so I'll wish you all a very happy crafty Thursday.
Toodles!

Hello!
We got actual goodness beautiful sunshine yesterday. It was soooooo nice! Even better was seeing the wet patches on the road as the snow began to melt for the first time all winter. Now all it has to do is keep up this warming trend and I'll be through with winter before I know it. ;)
And since I was celebrating such a gorgeous day I thought it was only appropriate that my card go all out with some bright and lovely blooms. So I pulled out this Pergamano cutie with her large bouquet and some pretty Pebble papers and got busy. When I first inked her up I was thinking that this card would end up being quite pink but once I found this print I had to take her in a different direction. I like that it is a bit different but still girly and playful.
Well, another day another dollar. I suppose I should get to it. Here's to a wonderful Wednesday everyone. :)

Mornin' friends!
Le sob! Le weep! Le boo hoo! If you hadn't guessed from all that crying and carrying on, yes, I watched my recording of Sunday's episode of Downton. Bawling like a baby doesn't even begin to describe it. And I really shouldn't have watched it right before bed because there is nothing worse than waking up with puffy eyes the next morning. Seriously, how do you explain to people that a television show is the reason you look a mess without them thinking you must be crazy? ;)
Alrighty, since there isn't much I can do about my current appearance I might as well move on to today's card. I altered the new Puppy Love Mae from Some Odd Girl by trimming the puppy out of her hands and replacing it with a present found on the Gifty Gwen stamp set. This created a more generic looking birthday card which is what I was going for. All the papers are scraps and there really isn't much more to this card than that. Not a lot of embellishments and what not... but the bunting pattern was so busy that anything I tried adding just made it look completely cluttered. Sometimes less is more I guess. :)
Ok, lots to do today.
Catch ya on the flip side!

Hey, hey, hey!
I was out last night so I didn't get a chance to watch Downton Abbey. I did make sure to record it though so you know I'll be catching up on the latest drama tonight... I can't wait! If you can't get excited for the little things then where is the fun in life? Right? ;)
So I made this card for the Double Take Tuesday challenge over on the TGF blog and it's just in the nick of time. They have a sketch to follow this time around and since I already had her stamped up I thought it would be fun to use the newest addition to the Creeper Crew, Friday Night. The original Friday has been a long time favorite Creeper of mine (it's all that curly hair) so I was excited to see her back in another style. She is looking quite hip and stylish so I wanted to give her some hip and trendy papers to go with. Echo Park's Everyday Eclectic was the first thing that popped to mind and I couldn't resist throwing in a bit of blue sky in the background as well. I love how the card looks like Friday is spending her day chillin' at the boardwalk. I actually paper pieced the hat band, shoes, and belt buckle out of shimmery gold paper and wish that the shine of it was captured better in the photo because it really dresses up the entire card.
Okey dokey, time to scoot. Hope the new week starts off on the right foot for everyone out there. :)

Hi guys!
Work was busy again yesterday and I was tired once I got back home. So I didn't get a card made but luckily I had this one already done. There is no stamping what-so-ever instead it was a fun opportunity to put a bunch of die cuts to use. The entire card is an eclectic mix of brands which I always find to be a fun challenge. ;)
Well I can't think of much else to say about this one so I guess I'll just wish you all a good day with loads of crafty time to enjoy. :)
XOXO

Hello again!
We are supposed to get a bunch more snow this weekend and all I'm thinking is, aren't we near the end of winter yet? I'm tired of the cold and want to see some sunshine again. I bet that is my problem more than anything, it's the constant grey and gloom that is has been hanging over us for weeks on end. All I know is that when that groundhog takes a peek in a couple weeks he had better forecast an early spring. ;)
Anywho, my card today was a quickie and the Fairwee stamps are perfect for that. Mia was fast to color up and I purposefully used the same color combo on her hair as my card from yesterday. I wanted to make sure that my newly cleaned E49 was acting right and it was coloring perfectly once again... no more shiny glaze look. I also put another paper pack cover sheet to use by cutting apart the strips and even trimmed out that bird from the title design. I really like how it looks like the bird and Mia are smiling at each other. :)
Well folks, I should go do the whole hair and make up thing. Hope your weekend is fantastic!

Good morning!
So I had quite a time making this card yesterday. I decided that it would be a good day to do my January start-to-finish card making videos and at first all was well. I had a request to color up a TGF Cheeky and Rockabilly was eager to get on a Valentine. So coloring the skin went well, then her dress... no problemo. Next I did her hair and while I was coloring nothing looked amiss. But while I was loading the video I could see a 'glaring' problem once I added the darkest brown. My E49 nib was dirty and had done that weird glaze like look that Copics can do when the nib gets coated in the ink inside the cap. While Rockabilly was still good to go for the card the shine of the ink made it hard to see what I was doing in the video... blerg. Then the mail lady came and pulled down the icy driveway to deliver a box of crafty goodies to me. An hour later and a call to the tow company and she was finally back on her way while I was a lot colder and wetter for my efforts at trying to help. I felt so bad for her! After a quick change into warmer clothes it was time to finish the card. Instead of relaxing into the process Oreo decided that he needed to check out what was going on... repeatedly. Oy, I love that cat but I was wishing I had made him go outside for a bit, LOL! Still, I'm loving how it turned out despite all the adventures. ;)
If you are interested in checking out the videos you can find them all on my youtube channel, here.
Now, I'm going to go lay back down for a bit and then see where the day takes me. Enjoy your Friday!

Olo!
Sheesh, this week seems to be flying by for some reason. I haven't had much time to stop and catch my breath but I'm hoping to rectify that with a couple of days off today and tomorrow. And considering we are expecting a new snow storm to blow through I think it will be a coupe of cozy days just spent here at home. Which sounds pretty darn good to me. :)
Alrighty, this card was just for the fun of inking up another as yet un-loved stamp. It's a Gorjuss Girl called Poppy Wood that I've actually had for quite some time but never quite got around to before now. At first the plan was to color her dress blue but it was not coming out at all so instead of scrappin' the whole thing I figured it would be easiest to just paper piece it instead. I added a bit of shading to it but that big wide dress was still proving hard to give good definition to. Finally I had to call it good enough and move on. Other than the dress giving me fits I am very happy with how her hair turned out at least. ;)
Well folks, I'm going to go see what I want to tackle first today... maybe, just maybe, I might get around to doing a video or two.
Laters!

Hello again!
It's another review preview on the All That Scraps blog today and the newest Sweet November stamps are in the spotlight. I had a hard time choosing which stamp to feature but finally went with this little fairy baby in the walnut. Last time I inked up this image I used it to make a baby boy card so it was fun taking it the other direction and going all out pink and girly. The papers are more scraps that were on my table and I like the soft and natural background that they create for this little one's garden nursery.
For even more sweet baby inspiration be sure to check out all of the adorable cards that my fellow ATS teamies have created. :)
TTFN!

Hello there!
Sorry about the absence but I had a whirlwind of a weekend. Lots of work and lots of play so instead of stressing about getting cards done and posting I just let it be for a couple days. :)
I actually started this card last week with the intention of entering it into the TGF yellow and blue DTT challenge but I didn't quite get it done in time. So I grabbed a couple Martha Stewart butterfly punches and decided to enter it into the Farm Fresh Friday punch challenge instead. ;)
The new Lovely Bean is the star of this show and I wanted it to look like she is fluttering right a long with her butterfly pals. I think the fun cloud paper really helps with that so I was lucky to find this last little piece of it in my scrap bag. Yep, I went to town with the random mix of scraps again and it felt good to fully use up a couple more pieces. What can I say... I'm determined to whittle down the piles of paper so that I don't have to put myself on a "no new paper diet". Gasp! Shock! The horror! I know, I know... it's blasphemous to even think about such a thing, especially with all of the new pretties previewed at CHA recently. I just have to find a bit more time to really get in the organizing/purging mode, which will hopefully happen in a week or two.
Okey dokey, I'm going to wrap this up. It's been good talkin' at'cha all again and I'll see ya in 24!

TGIF everybody!
This post is going to be even quicker than yesterday's... it's just been crazy busy. At work we are getting ready for the Fire & Ice festival in town this weekend so by the time I got home last night I was too tired to get crazy in the crafty room. Thus all I have to share is a non-coloring Valentine. It's a bit non traditional with the greys and blues thrown in but I think that it why I like it so much. :)
Alrighty, off to get ready for another whirlwind of a day... though I guarantee there is no polar bear jump in the lake in my future! ;)

Hi guys!
I've got another busy day of work ahead of me today so I'm gonna have to post and run this morning.
This was the second card that I made for yesterday's review preview over at ATS. Baby Willow is the star of the show on this one and doesn't she look like a drowsy looking little cutie? I can't decide if she has just woken up from a nap or is ready for bedtime... either way I just want to snuggle her, LOL!
Most of the papers and what not are left overs from the Ivy card and it was a great way to get the rest of the stuff off my desk.
Ok, I've really got to get a move on. TTYL!

Olo!
It's time for a review preview over at All That Scraps and this week it's all about the Li'l Lolita Babies. My card features Baby Ivy with her wide eyes, paci and bun bun. What a sweetie she is. Something about Ivy's footie pajamas had me picturing her getting ready for bedtime and I knew that I had the perfect sentiment to compliment that theme.
As for the papers, I grabbed an older MME paper pack called Alphabet Soup and had a blast cutting up bits and pieces of the prints to create most of the accents on the card. I'm sure that I've said it before but push come to shove if I was only allowed to buy one kind of crafty item to go with my stamps, you can take my stickers, die cuts and embellishments but don't take my pretty papers! ;)
Alrighty then, be sure to take a moment and check out what my fellow ATS teamies have created for the review preview today. It's sure to be a 10 on the cute-o-meter! :)
Toodles!

Hello again!
I know, I know... two Greeting Farm cards in a row, craziness! But with the new stamps sitting on my desk Awareness Anya here proved irresistible. Plus I wanted to get a card made for the Farm Fresh Friday challenge as well. This week the challenge is to make a 'thank you' card which I find are always good to have on hand. And yes, I altered Anya a bit. At first I was going to do a head swap with another Anya but quickly realized I wanted to try and keep her cute dress intact. So I wiped away the awareness ribbon before stamping and then drew in her missing dress bodice and skirt with a handy dandy Copic multiliner. By doing that I got a more generic and very versatile little Anya for my card.
I didn't start with any particular papers in mind so I grabbed a bag of scraps without looking and challenged myself to find something in it to use. Luckily I came across these old October Afternoon papers that inspired me to give Anya a blue dress. I don't work with blues a whole lot but I'm lovin' how this all came together. Plus it was a nice contrast to the red hair that I had already given her. ;)
Ok, time for me to scoot my boot.
XOXO
