Anything Goes over at Divas by Design

Good morning friends.  We have a new challenge today over on the Divas by Design Challenge Blog.  Our new challenge is "anything goes".  I hope you can play along with us.

I have used Tickled Winter Little Lolita Evie from Tickled Pink Stamps.  I fell in love with this adorable image the moment I saw her.  She's colored with copics and colored pencils and I used Liquid Applique on the fur trim of her outfit and boots.  There's Glamour Dust on the little snowman she's holding and also on the snowflake dies.  I used some seam binding and pearls to finish my card.  My layout is the sketch from The Paper Players Challenge this week.

Our challenge is being sponsored by Craftie-Charlie and Tickled Pink Stamps.  Be sure to stop by the Divas by Design Challenge Blog to check out the amazing work by the rest of the DT.

Thank you so much for stopping by.

Hugs, Anita

A Few of My Favorite Things

Good morning friends.  I hope you had a fabulous weekend?  It's Monday so that means we have a new challenge for you over on the Pollycraft Challenge Blog.  It is our lovely Lou's turn to pick our theme and she wants us to show some of our favorite things.  So easy, right?

Since one of my favorite things is snowmen I decided to use this adorable Swings and Slides Merry Christmas - Snow Buds image.  I colored this cute couple with copics and colored pencils.  I added some of my very favorite Glamour Dust for some sparkle.  I'm also very fond of snowflakes, pearls, and ribbon so those got tossed onto my card too :)  These are just a few of my favorite things.  If I added all of my favorites I would have to make my card about 12" x 12" just to hold them all lol!

We are being sponsored by the fabulous Crafty Emma's Store and she is giving away a voucher to the challenge winner.  Be sure to stop by the Pollycraft Challenge Blog to see all the fabulous work by our wonderful DT.  I hope you create something with your favorite things and join in our challenge this week.

Thank you for stopping by.  I hope you have a wonderful week.

Hugs, Anita

I'm a Guest Sweet Sunday Stamper!

Good morning friends.  Today I'm a guest over on the Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge.  I have been a big fan of Karen's challenges for the longest time and a few weeks ago I finally was able to play along in their sketch challenge.  Well, I received an email from Karen asking if I would like to be the very first Guest Sweet Sunday Stamper.  I was so excited and of course I jumped at the chance to play along with this team of talented ladies!  So here's my card for the Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge SSSC151.

I used this adorable little Heidi from Sylvia Zet's Wee Digi Stamps.  I colored this cutie with copics and colored pencils and added some Glamour Dust to her outfit, the falling snow, and the ground.  I added some snowflakes and pearls to finish off my card.  I hope you like it.  

Here's the sketch and you can find all the challenge details over on Karen's blog.  Be sure to stop by all the Sweet Sunday Stamper's blogs to see what they've made with this week's sketch.

A Valentine Mouse

Happy Saturday friends.  We have a new challenge for you over at Di's DigiDesigns Challenge Blog and the theme is "Valentine's".  So why not make a Valentine card for your sweetie and play along in our challenge?

I used this adorable Mouse With Love image.  I colored this cutie with Distress Inks and added glitter paint to the butterfly.  I used Glamour Dust on the die-cut hearts and added some lace and a little bow.  The charm actually has the word "love" on it but I'm not sure you can tell that from the photo.

Our challenge is being sponsored  by Joanna Sheen who's offering a $10 voucher to our lucky challenge winner.  Be sure to stop by Di's DigiDesigns Challenge Blog to check out the gorgeous Valentine's creations by the rest of the DT.

A Sketch by the Divas

Hello friends.  We have a new challenge today over on the Divas by Design Challenge Blog and it's a sketch.  

I used Dear Santa by Di's Digi Downloads.  I love this image and figured I might as well get started on my Christmas cards for this year.  This little guy is colored with distress inks and I've used Glamour Dust on the fur parts of his hat and suit.

Our sketch challenge is sponsored by Di's DigiDownloads.  Please be sure to stop by the Divas by Design Challenge Blog to get all the challenge details and to check out the beautiful work by the DT.  

Thank you for stopping by.

Hugs, Anita

Warm It Up

Hello all!  It's Monday so that means we have a fabulous new challenge for you over on the Pollycraft Challenge Blog.  It was our lovely Mary J's turn to select the theme and she has chosen Warm It Up (keep warm, warm/hot colors, anything that makes you feel warm).  

I used Sonny Honeycloud - Lifes a Beach for my warm it up card.  Oh how I wish I were somewhere nice & sunny so I could wear an outfit like hers lol!  I used copics and colored pencils and added some Glossy Accents to her sunglasses.  I applied some Glamour Dust Ultra Fine Glitter Paint to the sun to make it sparkle.  And since Sonny is all dressed up for the beach I thought this sentiment would be perfect for her.

We are being sponsored this week by Crimson Cloud.  Be sure to stop by the Pollycraft Challenge Blog  to check out the fabulous projects by the rest of the DT.  I hope you play along with us this week.

Thanks for stopping by and try to stay warm!

Let's Party!

Hello friends.  I have another new digi to share with you today.  I picked up this little cutie (and a few of her friends) as a Christmas gift to myself. 

This is Let's Party ... Sassy Sally and she's from Sassy Cheryl's Digi shop.  Isn't she adorable?  I colored her with copics and colored pencils and used some glitter paint on her skirt ruffle and the pom-pom on her hat.  I added a seam binding bow and a couple of buttons to finish off my card.

I hope you have a wonderful weekend.  Thank you for stopping by!
