Toot Toot...

A Rubber Stamp Madness magazine appeared in my mail box yesterday! That means that I've been published again.

Here's the card that got chosen. They were having a call for Alice in Wonderland themed cards.

The sentiment and the twins are from Victorine Originals. They are colored with Copic markers and layered onto black cardstock. The yellow background is done using the sanded BG stamp from SU.

Speaking of Victorine Originals, the design team's creations are being showcased on her blog and we will be doing bi-monthly challenges to create some fun and excitement for VO! Blog link is on my side bar.

Thanks for stopping by and have a Happy Halloween!

The Flavor of Fall Blog Hop

Hello everyone! The Angel Company is sponsoring a Fall blog hop and here is my card.

The designer paper is from the Amelia Soar With It Collection. I cut a 1 1/2 inch by 12 inch strip and scored it every 1/4 inch to create the medallion. The acorns and sentiment are from the Give Thanks stamp set.

I colored the acorn with Copic markers after stamping it in Memento Tuxedo Black ink. Added a few gold pearls to the top right hand corner to add a bit of interest.

Thanks for stopping by and enjoy the blog hop!

Fall flowers

At least I colored these to become a "fall" flower. Giggle, giggle!


I found this digital image somewhere for free and for the life of me I cannot remember who's it is. If anyone out there has a system for identifying and remembering who your digi's came from, please share!

Daisy's are colored with Copic's and layered with yellow cardstock. The yellow designer paper is from my stash that I most likely got from Micheal's years ago. The gray cardstock is from American Craft and I used the Quikutz medium scalloped border die to cut the edge. Simple layout that went together pretty quickly. What do you think?

Have a great day and thanks for stopping by!

Happiness is....

New stamps!!!!

Hi everyone! I've been playing around with some new stamps from The Angel Company. This is now available in the fall supplement, which you can find online here.


Isn't this sunflower gorgeous?

It's stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored with Copic's. I searched high and low for designer papers to go with it, and finally settled on the yellow dp from Making Memories. It's from an old embellishment paper pack called Fresh Anthology collection - Eliza. The brown and green cardstock is probably from Bazzill, but not 100% sure as I pulled most of it out of my scrap collection.

Mini gold pearls are used in the corners of the brown cardstock for some bling.... and the sentiment panel is popped up with foam tape. So, what do you think?

TDS Showcase - special recipe

Hello everyone! Here's another image that is available over at the digi shack for $1. I've been doing a bunch of digi surfing lately and I'm amazed at how much people are charging for images. You can always find a lot freebies out there but if you want a good deal without breaking the bank, head on over to The Digi Shack!

The image is colored with Copic markers and cut out using nesties! I also got out the compressor and did some airbrushing for the card. The polka dots in the back ground were done using a template and the blue flowers were colored using two different shades of blue.

The center flower also got some black enamel polka dots added to it using the Enamel accents from Inkssentials.

The sentiment is from PTI and stamped on a chipboard tag and then tied on with scrappers floss. Which was also colored with Copic's.

Thanks for stopping by today! Have a great week!

CAS Tree

Greetings!

How about a change up in season for this next card? I know I'm ready for anything different right about now.

This gorgeous little tree is from The Angel Company set called Jingle Jolly. I colored it with Copic markers and added some stickles to the star and bulbs!

Designer paper is from Debbie Mumm and the red ric rac is from my stash that I originally got from my Mom years and years ago.

I used a oval nestability to cut out the tree and it's popped up using foam tape. Simple, quick card that could be mass produced! What do you think?

Have a fantastic weekend.

TDS showcase showdown

Hello all - it's Wednesday which means another showcase showdown for TDS!

Here's this weeks card!

Toni (owner of The Digi Shack) included this in the Halloween section of older images that she brought back this year! I just love this mask, which is so New Orleans and Mardi Gras but also works well for Halloween too!

I colored it in shade of purple with Copic markers and then added some stickles to bling it up! I just got some Enamel accents from Inkssentials that I bought at Micheal's and used the white to add the dots around the outside edges.

The swirl is a die from sizzix and is cut out using some grunge paper. Next I got out the sparmax compressor and Copic's to spray it purple to match the colors in the image. The I took a white paint pen from Sharpie and added in the white dots. A square nestability was used to cut out the main image and it just so happened to fit right in the swirl!

Designer paper is from Paper Pizazz. Stay tuned for a non-Halloween card with an image from TDS next week! I'm getting a bit tired of Halloween cards..........

Thanks for stopping by and live your day to the fullest!
