Hello, hello!
It's time for another Scenic Saturday card over on the Bellarific Blog. With October only days away I figured it was time to get my spooky on with a fun Halloween card. My initial plan was to grab either Willow the Witch or some of the Halloween Little Bits but as I flipped through my stamps Tiny Townie Dorothy the Dreamer caught my eye. What if that furry friend behind her wasn't imaginary but a real life fantastical beast who is helping this little witch to do her spell studies? That seems pretty Halloweeny to me, LOL! So I stamped them up and then added a few scene builders from the Little Bits Haunted House Outdoor Decorations to help up the magic factor in this scene. All that was left to color in was her wand, some potion bottles and of course a spooky glow coming from the pages of the spell book Dorothy is reading. No altering was needed to transform this image into something with a bit more spooky cuteness, all it took is some creative pairing with other, more seasonal stamps, and a color palette that brings to mind Halloween festivities. So keep looking at your stamps with fresh eyes and who knows what clever and creative ways you will find for them!
Stay crafty my friends!

Olo!
I'm still playing with the Dreamerland stamps from the summer release and many of them can still be found at 7 Kids.
Even though this darling stamp technically released as a summer image, because the nature of it seemed suited for an indoor scene I figured I could make it work for a fall card quite easily. The stamp is called When I Look Into Your Eyes and it captures that sweet bond between a girl and her kitty perfectly. I decided to color them in front of a big window that overlooks the neighbor's house and all the beautiful fall foliage surrounding it. It's one of those perfect fall days full of sunshine and bright, happy colors but neither of these cuties really notice because they only have eyes for each other. :)
Alrighty, it's back to the grind for me. Catch ya later!

Hello, hello!
I'm over on the TGF blog today with a fun Halloween card. I'm so excited to have gotten the brand new Spellbinding kit in the mail earlier this week and I couldn't wait to get it inky. The pre-orders are still shipping out and I've heard that there may even be a few extra kits in the TGF store once those all go out. But grab them quick because once they are gone they won't be restocked any time soon. I can't get over how spooky cute all of these little Beans are and the versatility of the set lets you easily create Halloween cards or cards inspired by our favorite boy wizard and his friends. For my first card using this new kit I decided to go with a Halloween card so I did a bunch of masking to put the hat on my adorable witch and to also place her on that hefty spell book. Of course she had to have her magic potions and her ever faithful familiar as well. From the look of things she has been quite busy practicing her spells. :)
Thanks so much for stopping by, have a crafty day!

Hello again!
Still no time to color and still fighting this chest cold but I'm hanging in there. Because no new card was made to share today I've pulled this cutie from the recent Stamping Bella release and am getting it up here on the ol' blog. Technically this stamp is called Bundle Girl Skater with Penguins but I think it can easily work for either gender depending on what colors you choose to use on it. Personally, I saw him as a little boy and dressed him in deep blues and winter greens to really bring that look home. The Skating Rink Backdrop from last year's holiday release was the perfect scene to pair with these novice skaters and I ended up extending the scene a bit by coloring in a snow covered mountain range further back in the distance. The sentiment is from the new Holiday Fun sentiment set and is always a personal favorite. Not only can the new holiday stamps be found at Stamping Bella but 7 Kids has a nice variety of them as well so be sure to check them out!
Toodles!

Good morning!
I seriously need a few more days added to September because I am SO behind on so many things right now that it's not even funny. Add to that a chest cold settling in and I've got the makings for a pretty miserable week. Let's hope it doesn't get that bad and I can cross things off my to-do list quickly. With everything that's going on I had zero time for coloring yesterday but I was saved since I hadn't shared this card from the Sweet November release day Lives yet. We colored this up back on the second and had a fun time pairing up a bunch of different elements from several of the Witchwee bundles. Little Beatrix and her pal Midnight have cast a spell on that happy jack by the look of things. There is still time to enter your SN projects into this month's challenge in the 7 Kids Customers Create Facebook group. Everyone who plays along gets an exclusive SN digi and a shot at winning the entire October release!
Ok, I've gotta go take some Dayquil and get this day started... laters!
Supply list:
cardstock- Papertrey Ink and Copic X-Press It

Hello again!
I bet you are surprised to see me posting on a Sunday and with a non-DT card no less. Well, today is the last day to enter submissions into this year's Card Design Superstar contest at My Favorite Things and I decided to throw my hat in the ring once again. It's been a few years since I've participated and I wasn't even really sure if I was going to join the fun this time around either but I got the idea for this card back in early summer and I could never make the time to put it together. I knew there would be a lot of masking as well as all the coloring of the different dog breeds if I wanted to do it right and do it well. That all seemed a bit overwhelming for just a card to post on any ol' day of the week. But once the contest was announced I had the perfect incentive to sit down and bring this idea to life. Being that I work with dogs and spend most of my days, walking, feeding and playing with all number of canine pals you can imagine I have an affinity for collecting cute dog stamps too. So I grabbed dogs from a bunch of the Birdie Brown sets and paired them with this casual cutie from the retired Birdie Brown Let's Hang Out set since she best reflects my work attire... very wash and wear, LOL! Then I just settled in and colored them all up and gave them an expansive dog park to be visiting, complete with an entrance sign that borrows it's sentiment from the Playful Pups set which seems to be retired now too. I gotta say, I'm really glad I finally got this one out of my head and onto a card and it came together even better than I had hoped.
So wish me luck, the talent in the Coloring Virtuoso category has set the bar extremely high!

Good morning!
It's time for the Sweet November Vault release at 7 Kids and this month we have brought back Boo the ghost who is way too cute to spook. There are three images in this release, each one featuring Boo in a different Halloween scenario. Because these are Vault images they are only available in the store for a limited time. Once October 1st hits these ghosties will be disappearing once again. You may also notice that each of my cards pair Boo with a different element from last year's Halloween Background Builder set. I did this not only because they make for cute scenes but also to announce again that because we have hit the one year mark on Sweet November digital releases, last year's digis will be retired and begin to go into the Vault too. So come October 1st the Halloween Background Builders and the Witch Please release will all officially go into the Vault.
So for my first card I've got Boo's Pumpkin. This darling little specter can be found haunting the pumpkin patch every October night leading up to Halloween. He is searching for only the biggest and best pumpkins out there because those special gourds make for ideal jack o'lantern carving.
Next we have Boo's Batty Banner. Boo is one spirit who knows how to lift spirits with the best Halloween party around. Ghosts and goblins, monsters and vamps all come from miles around to attend an epic Boo Bash! Once you enter Boo's happening haunted house the music is thrilling, the potion punch never stops flowing and the decor is always on point.
And finally we have Boo Loves Scary Larry. At the end of a long night of haunting there is nothing Boo loves more than to float back home and snuggle with his favorite stuffie, Scary Larry. Larry may be old and worn, with a bit of fraying at his seams but what doll wouldn't be after centuries of this kind of adoration?
Alrighty then, as usual we will be celebrating the release in the 7 Kids Customers Create facebook group all day today with games and chances to win free digis. I will also be doing Live coloring videos at 11am and 3pm PST so I hope to see you there!
