Sweet Baby

Today is a CC Designs review day over on the All That Scraps Blog and the DT is sharing some fun new cards we've made with the May release.

I used Honey Bee-trice to make a baby card.  She's colored with copics and colored pencils and I used Glamour Dust on her wings.  I used a doily, ribbon, and some pearls.  Did you see what I used to attach my sentiment tag?  A tiny little safety pin ... I've had these little pins forever and thought it would go perfectly on a baby card. 

Be sure to stop by the All That Scraps Blog to see what the rest of the DT has created.  And don't forget that today is the last day to purchase the adorable Sugarplums Beach Kit at the sale price.

Thanks for stopping by!

Hugs, Anita

Happy Days

Hello friends.  Today I have a sweet Sugar Nellie card to share with you.

This cutie is from the Home Grown Sherbet Pips collection, which you can find at Funky Kits.  I love this collection because these little girls are just as cute as can be!  I've colored Candy Pip with copics and colored pencils and added a bit of glitter paint to the flowers in her hair and her hand.  I've popped her up on some nestabilities diecuts and added some flowers and pearls.  These papers are some Martha Stewart dp I've had forever.  I'm not usually a fan of her papers but I found this pad on clearance and thought the colors were pretty.  The sentiment is from the Friend Stamp Set over at Precious Remembrance Shop.

Thank you for stopping by - have a wonderful day!

Thinking of You

Happy Tuesday friends.  Today is CC Designs review day over on the All That Scraps Blog so I have a fun card to share.

I used the C.C. Designs Sugarplums Beach Kit.  This cute little girl and the umbrella are both part of the kit, along with lots of other great stamps.  I colored the images with copics and colored pencils.  I tried to make a little beach scene with sand, water, and the sky, and added some ribbon and a button.  The sentiment is Underwater Sentiments by AmyR Stamps.

Be sure to stop by the All That Scraps Blog to check out all the beautiful inspiration by the DT.  Don't forget the Sugarplums Beach Kit is on sale for a special price but you need to hurry because the sale ends in a few days!

Thank you for stopping by.

Polly's Birthday Wishes

Hello friends.  I hope you're having a fun weekend.  I've had this adorable image from Sassy Cheryl's Digis for awhile now and finally found some time to color her.

This cutie is called Polly's Pink Flower and she was so much fun to color.  I used copics and colored pencils to color her in my favorite color combo - pink and turquoise/aqua.  She's colored with copics and colored pencils and then I used a brown button for the center of the daisy.  My fun paper is My Mind's Eye and I'm down to my last few scraps of this dp :(  The sentiment tag is from My Favorite Things.

Thank you so much for stopping by.

XOXO

Hello friends.  Today I'm sharing a card I made to send to Zack, my grandson.  He loves stuffed dogs and bears ... well, actually he loves any stuffed animal ;)  Anyway, I have had this cute little image from StampFairy for quite awhile now and finally managed to color him.

This little cutie is Lenny Ladybug and he's colored with copics and colored pencils.  I used Glossy Accents on his nose and antennae.  I added a bow, a button, and a little tag I cut using a My Favorite Things dienamic.  When Zack makes a picture for me he loves to sign it with "xoxo" and his name, so of course I had to use that sentiment on the tag.  This was a very fast and easy card to make and my sweet little grandson will love it, which makes me a very happy lady :)

Thank you so much for stopping by.  I hope you have a wonderful day!

Amy's Kitty

Good morning friends.  I have a card with one of Sylvia Zet's digi images called Amy's Kitty.  I love Sylvia's images and this kitty has the sweetest look on her face ;) 

I've colored this image with copics and colored pencils.  Then I painted Creative Inspirations Paints on the balloons.  These paints give a pearlescent shimmer and they don't smear digis.  I always had to be really careful when applying Stickles because they would really smear the black ink from my printer, but that's not a problem with these paints.  I also applied the paints to the butterflies and the flowers in the image.  Some ribbon, a bow, and pearls finished my card. 

Here's a close-up so that you can see the sparkle the paint adds to the image.  You may want to stop by the Creative Inspirations Paint Blog to check out our latest challenge - the inspiration theme is rainbows/rainbow colors.  You can find all the details over on the blog.

Good evening friends.  I've had this cutie colored for awhile for the challenge over at The Greeting Farm.  It suddenly dawned on me that since this challenge is closing soon I'd better get this baby done ;)

This adorable image is from TGF's Rain Snow Shine collection.  She's colored with copics and colored pencils and I added some glitter paint to her jacket buttons.  The sentiment is from the new AmyR Many Thanks Sentiments at All That Scraps.  I punched the flowers with my EK Success punches and added a pearl to each flower.

It's Spring over at Di's

Happy Saturday to all of you.  We have a new challenge for you over on Di's DigiDesigns Challenge Blog.  Our latest challenge is "spring" -- pretty easy, right?

I used this sweet little bear image named Special Just For You.  She's colored with copics and colored pencils and I added some acrylic paint polkadots to her hairbow.  There's glitter paint on the flower bouquet and also on the little butterflies, just to give a little bit of sparkle to the card.  I do love my sparkle lol!

Our challenge is being sponsored by There She Goes and they're giving a $25 voucher to the winner of the challenge!  You'll want to visit their shop to see the adorable stamps they offer.  

Be sure to stop by Di's DigiDesigns Challenge Blog to check out the beautiful work by the rest of this sweet team.  On a sad note, this is my last challenge with Di as I've decided to step down from the team.  Thank you Di, for allowing me to work with your adorable images.  And thank you also to the rest of the DT - you're an amazing and talented group of ladies ;)  I'm sure I'll still see all of you in blogland.

Let Them Eat Cake!

Hello sweet friends.  Are you hungry for some yummy cake?  Well, I have the perfect dessert for you ... and no calories ;)

This sweet little fairy is Let Them Eat Cake.  I've colored her with copics and colored pencils.  I added lots of Glamour Dust to her wings, antennae, and the decorations on the cake.  There's also Glamour Dust on the stars and around the sentiment.  My papers are Gossamer by Memory Box and I love the colors in this paper.  I added some sheer ribbon and a bow, and a WOC flower to finish my card.  If you love adorable fairies you really need to check out the Fairy Glen collection over at Funky Kits.

Thank you so much for stopping by and for your sweet comments.  They mean the world to me :)

Hugs, Anita
