Let's Chill

( ** Please scroll down for my CC Designs post ** )

Well, hello again!  This is my second post today so if you're looking for my CC Designs sneak peek, please scroll down.  On today's card I've used a fun winter image from the By LORi Designs Digi Shop.

This handsome guy is Pedal Pusher Winter Brian.  He's perfect for making winter cards but I also used him for Christmas cards.  I colored him with copics and colored pencils and then added some snowflakes.  The sentiment is from the CC Designs Freezin' Season stamp set.  My papers are some old Bo Bunny papers that were in my stash.  Be sure to stop by the By LORi Designs Blog to see what the rest of the team is sharing today.  I know you'll find lots of inky inspiration over there! 

Thanks for stopping by.  If you're partying tonight to ring in the New Year, stay safe!

Hugs, Anita

CC Designs Preview - Day One

Good morning to all of you.  Today we are starting our sneak peeks of the new January release over on the CC Designs Blog.

I used Roberto's Rascals Blowing Kisses on my card today.  I colored this little cutie with Copics and colored pencils and then added some StarDust Stickles on the bubble hearts for sparkle.  The sentiment is from the new Adoring You stamp set and the string of hearts across the top of my card was cut using our new CC Designs Cutter Heart Border Die.  The small heart on the sentiment is from the Hearts Aplenty Chipboard Shapes ... I colored the heart and added some stickles.  All of the new products will be available Thursday, January 2, in the CC Designs Store.  Be sure to stop by the CC Designs Blog to see what the rest of the team is sharing today.  I hope you stop back tomorrow because we'll be sharing more sneak peeks from the January release!

Hello everyone.  I have a birthday card to share today.  I absolutely adore snowmen and love using them on my winter cards.

This cutie is simply called Snowman and he's available over in the By LORi Designs Digi Shop.  I colored him with copics and used Glamour Dust to make him sparkle.  I also used some Glossy Accents on his nose and buttons for a bit of shine.  The sentiment and the snowflake are by CC Designs.

A Little Ornament

I hope you all had a fabulous Christmas and got lots of fun crafty stuff from Santa :)  So Christmas has come and gone for another year and I know most of you are probably tired of seeing Christmas cards and projects.  But I do have one more Christmas make to share with you today ...

This sweet little image is WW-Princess and you can find her over at Funky Kits.  I was visiting some blogs a few weeks ago and ran across these adorable ornaments on Suzanne Dean's blog here.  I knew I had seen these frames in my local Michael's and wanted to give them a try.  I colored my image with copics and colored pencils and added a bit of Glamour Dust to her dress and crown.  I also added some pearl pen dots around the image.  I painted the frame with some cream acrylic paint and once it was dry, I glued my image to the back of the frame.  I added a bow and flower, and then some silver cording so I can hang it on my tree.  This was so easy and I love the finished project.  I hope to pick up a few more frames to work on for next year.  My ornament is clean and simple and I will probably add a few embellishments to the next one I make.

On a sad note, this is my last post as a member of the Sugar Nellie design team.  I've been with Sugar Nellie almost three years and I've really loved working with their beautiful images, but I've got a lot going on right now and decided it was best to cut back on some of my crafting time.  Karen (the owner) is a fabulous person and if you ever have a chance to try out for her DT, I would encourage you to do so ... I'm sure you would love it too!

Thank you for stopping by.

Hugs, Anita

Hello to all of you!  It's been a while since I last posted.  I've been so busy getting ready for Christmas and enjoying my new grandbaby that I've kind of let the old blog gather some cobwebs lol!  But I'm back today to share a card using a fun Christmas image from the By LORi Designs Digi Shop.

This sweet girl is Candy Cane Jane and I've colored her with copics and colored pencils.  I used some fun papers from My Mind's Eye and a snowflake with a button and some twine.  Be sure to check out the By LORi Designs Blog to see what the rest of the team is sharing today.

Thank you so much for stopping by.  I hope you and your loved ones have a wonderful Christmas.

Hugs, Anita

On The Wings Of Love

Good morning friends.  Today I'm sharing a Christmas card using one of the latest Sugar Nellie releases.

This lovely fairy is On The Wings Of Love - isn't she a sweetheart?  I love the little birdies flying around with the presents.  I colored her with copics and colored pencils and added lots of Glamour Dust for sparkle.  I also used some Frantage Shabby Blue embossing powder.  I think I need to practice a bit more with the powder.  I added a little poinsettia I diecut with a new Memory Box die and then stamped a sentiment and tucked it into the little kraft sack behind the image.  You can find this fairy and the rest of the Return to Winter Wonderland collection over at Funky Kits. 

Thank you for stopping by!

Hugs, Anita
