Hello friends. I have managed to get one more Christmas card completed.
I used Sugar Nellie's Simply Sassy All Wrapped Up and colored her with copics and colored pencils. I added distress crackle paint and Glamour Dust to the tree and snowflake corner. I used Glamour Dust Ultra Fine Glitter Paint on the package bows to give them a little sparkle too. I added a seam binding bow and attached a little sentiment tag with a pearl. You can find this sweet Christmas image and lots of other adorable images over at Funky Kits.
Thank you for stopping by. Have a wonderful day!

Hello everyone. I hope you had a terrific day. I have a little Christmas card to show you today.
This card was really quick and easy ... as you can see, there's no coloring! Now I love to color images but sometimes it's nice to make a card just using a lovely sentiment as the focal point. I used Christmas Sentiments by Raindrop Echo Designs over at the Whimsy shop. I cut my sentiment out with my Nestabilities and then added some lace, ribbon, a bow and a little flower. Easy peasy.
Thank you for stopping by. I hope to see you tomorrow.

Happy Monday to all of you. We have a new challenge over on the Pollycraft Challenge Blog. Our lovely Cazza has provided a sketch for us to follow this week.

Hello friends. We have a new challenge today over at Di's DigiDesigns Challenge Blog. Our challenge is to use ribbons and bows on your project.
I used Gardening Rascal on my card today. Isn't he adorable? I colored him with copics and colored pencils and used Glossy Accents on his nose and the water sprinkles. There's Glamour Dust Ultra Fine Glitter Paint on the flower center and Liquid Applique on his tail. I stitched all my papers and then added some ribbon and a little flower to finish my card.
We're being sponsored by Crafts-4-You and I hope you play along in our new challenge. Please stop by Di's DigiDesigns Challenge Blog to see what the rest of the amazing dt have created for this challenge.

Happy Friday friends. I don't know about you but this has been a very long week for me and I'm so glad the weekend is finally here! I do have a cute little angel to share with you today.
This is Barry Angel and he is part of Gerda's latest release over in the StampFairy shop. He's colored with copics and colored pencils and I used Glossy Accents on his nose and the pads of his feet. I applied glitter paint to his wings and the stars. I first read about the Glamour Dust Ultra Fine Glitter Paint over on the amazingly talented Lori Aragon's blog. This glitter paint doesn't cause the ink in digis to smear like Stickles sometimes does. (If you aren't familiar with Lori's work, stop by and visit her blog ... you won't be disappointed!) I used Liquid Applique on the cloud and finished my card with some ribbon and buttons.
Please stop by the StampFairy blog to check out the amazing work by the rest of the DT. You're sure to find lots of inspiration over there.
Thank you for stopping by and I hope you have a fabulous weekend.

Happy Wedneday to all of you. I hope you're having a great week so far. I have a holiday card today.
I was trying to decide which of my adorable stamps to use for my Wedneday post over on the Simply Sassy Blog. I knew I wanted to do a Christmas card and as I was looking through my stamps, I spotted Star Dust. It's been a while since I had inked her up and I thought she would be perfect for a holiday card. I finally bought the Martha Stewart Snowflake Trim punch the other day and used it on my card and added some pearls to the snowflakes. All my papers are stitched and I've used Glamour Dust on her shoes and the "star dust" she's sprinkling around. I added a bow and then inked the edges of the glittery stars I purchased a long time ago at Michaels - not sure if the inking shows up very well. One more Christmas card done and added to my stash!
Thank you for stopping by.

Hello to all of you. We have a blog hop and some fabulous new releases to share over on the Whimsy Stamps Inspiration Blog.
I used Polar Claus, an adorable new digi image by Kathryne of StampArt Design. I've colored this cutie with copics and colored pencils and used some Glossy Accents on the nose. I paper-pieced the hat and used Liquid Applique on the fluffy parts. I've got him lying on a bed of Glamour Dust "snow". Well, I probably shouldn't have done that as he's probably freezing lol, but the sparkly snow always looks so pretty. The sentiment is from Warm Winter Wishes Sentiments by Raindrop Echo Designs. Both the image and the sentiment can be found over in the Whimsy store.
Now, to join in the Blog Hop, scoot over to the Whimsy Inspiration Blog to find out all the details.
Thank you for stopping by.
