Thank You

This is a cute little thank you note to have on hand for when an occasion pops up unexpectedly. The little frog was colored with Copics and cut out with my Creative Memories circle cutter and scalloped nestie. His eyes have some bling for some sparkle. I used Lime Rickey Basic Grey DP, against some PTI New Leaf.

The "Thank You" on the ribbon tag nestie is from a Hero Arts set full of "thank yous" in many different fonts and styles.

This card is also a 'thank you' to Kate for all of the wonderful goodies she sent me for the November Guest Design spot for i {heart} papers.

Happy Crafting!

"Warm" cards

This card was for the GinaK color challenge to use Pumpkin, Chocolate, and Vanilla on a card. I used all GinaK StampTV items in this card. The image and sentiment are both embossed and up on pop dots. Even though it looks almost black in my picture, I did use the "Pure Luxury Chocolate" cardstock.

This card is the final WCMD that I have to show you. This was a Gratitude, Chocolate, and a Sketch challenge at Splitcoast Stampers.

I've not finished anything new yet this week, so I better get cracking so I have something to post!

Happy crafting!

BINGO

Yes, because I teach preschool, when I hear, "Bingo," I immediately think: There was a farmer had a dog and Bingo was his name-o!! No...not the song...the game! On Thursday evening Modern Sugar Blvd is having a Bingo release party over on Papercraft Planet at 9pm EST. Be sure you get your card turned in before 8:55 pm on the 11th to play along. For details and all the info, visit MSB Blog.

I will have examples for the new release the next several days! I'm looking forward to sharing those with you!

Today there was a mini release from illustrator Pam West with the "Life's Simple Pleasures..." line. What gorgeous pictures...you just want to go out and stroll through a lovely garden with spot of tea! (Pam is from the UK!) Don't these evoke thoughts of watercoloring?! I just might have to get into m daughter's kiddo school water color set the next time I try one of these images!

Kitten update: We now have a new little kitty in our household, and there will be pictures forthcoming!

Thanks for stopping to visit!

PTI Thank you

This card was made back at the very end of August for a couple of friends at work. Haven't made anything here in the last few days due to some illness in the household. So, I thought I would share this one. I used PTI Floral Frenzy, and totally cased someone back when I made it. No blog back then, and of course I have no idea who I picked this up off of.... Even though I have not made anything, I have been trying to practice my coloring. Gee...ya would of thought I'd learned that back at five years old!! :-)

I want to give a great big, "Thank you!" to Libby for a fun rak she sent my way! Some cute little felt flowers in hot pink & red!!! Can't wait to find something to use them with. Be sure you check out "From Courtney's Closet" this week...Courtney has the cutest dress with flowers!

Looking forward to the weekend!!

Happy crafting,

Guest Designer Call

I've decided to just stick a little toe out and enter the call for the February Guest Designer spot at Whimsy Stamps. I needed to use a sketch provided (and I love sketch challenges) and an animal stamp in my card. I tried to pick the "cutest" animal stamp I own, since I do not have any stamps from Whimsy at the moment. Denise's stamps are cute, whimsical animals with adorable expressions! I used all Basic Grey papers in the card, along with the brad. The sentiment is from Verve. I tried several times to have an embossed sentiment, but kept having stray embossing powder even after wiping paper with 1) dryer sheet and 2) corn starch. I keep practicing...

Happy crafting!
