Something Spooky

We have a new challenge for you today over on the Divas by Design Challenge Blog and our challenge is to make something spooky.


I have used Magic Spell by Di's Digi Downloads for my spooky little card.  OK, I'll admit she doesn't look very spooky - but she does look very cute, doesn't she?  I colored this friendly witch with copics and colored pencils and used Glamour Dust on her hat and magic wand.  I've added some ribbon and a little charm and then punched out a spiderweb with my Martha Stewart punch. 


Please stop by the Divas by Design Challenge Blog to see the fabulous work by the rest of the DT.  You haved two weeks to enter so there's plenty of time to get spooky with your stamps.  Our wonderful sponsors for this challenge are Di's Digi Downloads and Delicious Doodles.

Girls, Girls, Girls

Hello friends.  Are you ready to start your week off with a new Pollycraft challenge?  Our lovely Cazza chose our challenge this week and she has chosen the theme of Girls, Girls, Girls.  


I've used Swings and Slides - Cute as a Cupcake for my girly creation.  I just love the sweet look on her little face.  I colored this cutie with copics and colored pencils and cut her out with nestabilities.  I picked up this cupcake ribbon quite awhile back and thought it would be perfect with this adorable image.  I've added a few pearls and a little sentiment tag to finish my card.

Please be sure to stop by the Pollycraft Blog to check out the gorgeous work by the rest of the DT.  We're being sponsored this week by Sew Sweet.  Check out all the fabulous products that Emma has available in her shop.

Season's Greetings

Hello friends.  Friday has finally arrived -- yeah!  And since it is Friday, we have a new release to share with you over at StampFairy.


Isn't this little winter bunny just the cutest?  She's from the Clementine Winter 1 Collection.  I've colored this cutie with copics and colored pencils and used some Glossy Accents on her nose.  My papers, ribbon, and twine are from last year - more paper I've been hoarding and finally decided to use lol!  My snowflakes are from the MFT snowflake die, with Glamour Dust and a little pearl.  The sentiment is a freebie that Gerda is sharing this week over at StampFairy World.


Here's the latest release and you can find all these sweet images over in the StampFairy shop.  Please be sure to hop over to the StampFairy Blog to check out the amazing work by the rest of the sweet DT.

Simply Sparkly

Well, we're halfway through the week and only 2 more days until the weekend - yeah! 



I have something sparkly to show you today.  I used Tiffany, one of the Simply Sassy images from Sugar Nellie.  Isn't she gorgeous in her little dancing outfit?  She would be perfect for a little budding ballerina, wouldn't she?  I colored her with my copics and colored pencils and used Glamour Dust on the edges of my papers.  I also sprinkled Glamour Dust on the flowers, doily and punched butterflies.  I used some sheer ribbon on my card but it's kind of hard to see.  I made a little lace rosette and added a pink heart button, to match the one she's wearing in her hair. 


You can find this beautiful image over at Funky Kits.  And, have you entered the Sugar Bowl Challenge yet?  You still have a week to enter their latest challenge and the winner gets some gorgeous Sugar Nellie stamps!  So be sure to stop by the challenge to get all the details.

Paint Yourself A Different Color

Happy Tuesday friends.  I have a sweet little bear to show you today.


This little cutie is Bearicelli and you can find him and lots of other adorable images over at Di's Digi Downloads.  I colored this little budding artist with copics and colored pencils.  I added Glossy Accents to the nose, paintbrush handles, and the paint blobs (yes, I'm sure that's the term all professional artists use, lol) on the palette.  I stitched all my papers and added some ribbon and a bow. 


As soon as I saw Bearicelli I knew exactly which sentiment I wanted to use with him.  I've had these cute little Inkadinkado  sentiments for quite a while and I knew this sentiment would go perfectly with this bear.  Wouldn't this be the perfect card to cheer up a friend who's feeling a little down?  You may want to hand-deliver this card though because it's very heavy lol! 



Thank you for stopping by and I hope you enjoy your day.

I used the witch from Whimsy's Raindrop Echo Design Halloween Sentiments  and a Halloween Ticket Sentiment on my card.  I stippled some black ink around the edges of the cardstock.  I used my Martha Stewart punches and added some twine and a button.  Now, don't be a scaredy cat - stop by Whimsy Stamps and check out their fabulous selection of stamps and other products.
