Tonight!

The night we have been waiting for is finally here, well in a few hours it will be here, lol. I'm so EXCITED! Here's some yummy eye candy to look at before the movie :). Sorry I couldn't resist.

SPC7 Sarah's Birthday Card

I made this card yesterday for Sarah's birthday. I had to make a quick card since yesterday was her birthday, lol. I have other birthday cards already made but she has seen them all. I wanted her to get one that was made just for her. Well, I thought I was being a good mom by doing that. As Sarah is reading her card she tells me I signed it Love, Mom, Dad, Devin and Sarah. I can't believe I put Sarah instead of Isabella. She is never going to let me forget that one.

Anyways I printed this image called Taking care of Flowers to use in Softpencil's Challenge #7. The challenge asked that you use pink and butterflies. I used my copics to color the image in, I added some Dazzling Diamonds on her wings and the sprinkles she is adding to the flowers.

Exciting News

Samantha over at Scrapmaster's Paradise Color Combo aka SPCC has asked me to be a DIVA. I am super excited, this will be my very first Design Team. I am looking forward to working with Samantha and the other Divas.

So here is my first card as a Diva, hehehe. I made this card last night, and I have to say that the lighting in my craft space aka dining room is horrible. I colored this image from Softpencil called Michu and his Christmas tree. The image was a freebie here. Well I didn't even realize how bad the tree looked until after I uploaded the card, there's a reason I color in front of the TV. Better lighting in the living room, live and learn.

SPCC #24 is to use Bashful Blue, Real Red and Certainly Celery, luckily I had a few copics that worked with that color combo :). I used liquid applique on the white parts of the santa hat. The DP is from Basic Grey, sentiment is SU as well as the card stock and ribbon. Other supplies used were square, scallop square, rectangle, and scallop rectangle nesties. Thanks for looking.

Happiness Is Shopping

Here is a card I made using a Miss Anya image from The Greeting Farm. I made up the sketch all by myself, yeah me :). I claim the color combo as well, although I'm not sure if that Creamy Carmel really works with the red and grey, lol.

I seem to make my cards faster when I'm not trying to squeeze a challenge into them. I will still do challenges cause I really need the inspiration they give me. I think I will start coloring images for a specific project instead of just coloring a bunch of images at one time.

Supplies: SU Cardstock, ribbon and rub on,Copic Markers, oval and scallop oval nesties, and Colorbok metal heart accents

Sweet Hilda

Here is another Hilda card. I made this card for Motivet Week 46 Challenge. Love this sketch! This was one of my images that needed to be used, gosh it is taking me forever to get those images on cards. I may have to break my promise and color some new images. First I will try to get through the rest of my images today, but if I can't get through them I will need to start coloring some images soon. I miss using my copics, lol. OMG I just noticed I didn't color in her eyes, lol. Anyways, thanks for looking.

Supplies:SU Cardstock, DP and ribbon, copic markers, button, and flower Jennifer's mom made.

Yet another

... purple card, lol. What can I say I love purple. I'm trying to use up my colored images so I can color more. So many other things going on that I am only getting one card done a day :(. Anyways, this card is made with a Miss Anya from The Greeting Farm. I colored her in with copic markers. All other supplies are SU. I didn't use any challenges making this card. I just wanted to get it made so I didn't look for a challenge. I can't wait for January to come, cause that is when things will slow down and I can play more. Thanks for looking!

SC254 Oops Tilda

This is Oops Tilda by Magnolia Stamps, she is adorable. She is one of my images that was waiting to be made into a card. It has been hard not using my copics. I said I wouldn't color anymore images until I used the ones I have previously colored. It is so easy to sit in front of the TV and color but I can't drag my supplies over there to make a card, lol. Anyways I will stick to my promise and get all my images on cards before I color anymore. This sketch is SC254 from SCS. I knew it would work with a few of my images but I chose this cutie for the sketch. All supplies are SU except image and Copic Ciao Markers. Thanks for looking!

Current Project

All these butterflies are eventually going to be made into centerpieces for my nieces Sweet 16 in January. I think I have 45 done, thanks Carmen for helping me the other day :). I'm also thinking I'm going to need at least another 100, yikes. Anyways I don't have a true sample, because I don't have the vases yet. The bottom pictures gives an idea of what they will look like except that there will be 6-10 butterflies in each vase ( I'm thinking I will use a bud vase). Anyways if I don't get any cards made for a few days it is because I will be making these butterflies. Each one has 6 layers and each layer is individually curled to give it dimension ( my sample below had dimensionals to give dimension, but those have fallen apart since taking that picture). When I have them completed I will share. Thanks for looking!

A gift from Lily

Wahoo, I used one of my colored in images on a card. This is Lily, one of the Wild Flower Kids designed by Jen. She is a digital stamp, only available here. I was looking for a sketch to use and found this at Sketch and Stash. Well you need to also use new or neglected supplies in this challenge... New supplies would be the image, white flock, and the DP by Basic Grey, my neglected supplies would be the snowflake embellishment, the SU DP from last year, and the SU sentiment. Thanks for looking!other supplies not mentioned above, copic markers, SU cardstock, crochet flower by Jennifer's mom that I lightly colored with my copic marker

SPCC 22 Butterfly card

I made this card yesterday for SPCC Challenge #22. I had planned on uploaded it last night but got busy with other things. I think it is not too late to get this in today, so I am rushing to get this post done :). All supplies are SU except the bling ( I think it is from Michael's dollar bin). Thanks for looking!

Just wanted to share

I am enjoying the use of my Copic Markers SO MUCH. Look at all these poor images that need to be made into cards. Well I think I need to put these on cards before I color anymore. My goal is to use all these images on my projects this week. Anyways thanks for stopping by!

Meet Cappuccino Pippin

I am so loving this FREE digital image by Digital Delights. You can get it at their Paper Craft Planet group page. I got the idea to give him dimension from my friend April, her cards are always gorgeous. The first time I saw him I knew he would look cute in layers. There are a total of 4 layers to this little guy. I used this weeks sketch from A Spoon Full Of Sugar. I also made this card with Penny's Challenge in mind. Her theme this week is winter but needed to include glitter or sparkle. I love everything about this card except the sentiment. As an element it looked good but I am not liking it on this card.

Supplies cardstock SU, DP Basic Grey Eskimo Kisses, Foam snowflake, Michael's dollar bin bling, Liquid Applique, SU WW craft ink, Circle and scalloped circle nesties, and Copic Ciao Markers

SPC5 Thinking of You

I made this card for Softpencil Challenge #5 which was to use a bow or bows. The image is a freebie Softpencil offered on their Paper Craft Planet group page. I combined Softpencil's challenge with Sweet Sketch Wednesday's Sketch #22. Ok so I've been in a purple mood lately because all my cards have purple in them. I will try and use other colors I promise, lol. Thanks for looking :).
All supplies SU except main image, Copic Markers, and square and scallop square nesties

Another Tilly

Here is another entry for Wendy's Digital Doodling Challenge, you needed to use this image that she offers for free. I love the way she looks in purple. Did you know that purple is my favorite color? This Rich Razzleberry from SU is the only purple I can work with for some reason. I wish I had more colors of copics to use, I used what I had to try and go with the DP I chose. Oh well my birthday and Christmas are both next month, I think Copics will be on the top of my wish list for both :). Anyways, thanks for looking!

Tilly's Cupcake

I found this cute Digi at Wendy's Digital Doodling. The image is FREE, Wendy has a challenge going on and the winner will get a specially designed digital doodling from the 'tilly range'(unique to them). This is a card a made for the challenge. I am pretty happy with this card, I especially love the way my bow turned out. I made some boo boos coloring her in, I realized my copic colorless blender pen is dry :(, when I was trying to fix them. Thanks for looking. All supplies are SU except main image (Cup cake Tilly from Wendy's Digital Doodling), Copic markers and oval and scallop oval nesties.
