Jingle Bells

Hello friends.  I have a quick and easy holiday card to share today.

This image is Jingle Bell by Meljen's Designs.  I colored the image with copics and colored pencils.  I used Creative Inspirations paints in Raw Sienna and Fairy Dust on the jingle bell, and then I added Resplendence Angel Dust fine glitter on the holly berries.  The sentiment is by PTI and my papers were left over from last year. 

Thank you so much for stopping by. 

Hugs, Anita

Plain Ole Peyton

Happy Monday friends.  I hope you had a wonderful weekend.  It feels like forever since I last posted.  I have been really busy working on some new things I'll be able to share later in the week ;)  I did find a little time to color a cute little bear though.

This sweetie is Just Plain 'Ole Peyton from Sassy Cheryl's Digi Shop.  I love the expression on her face.  My grandson was watching me color and he was amused by the size of her feet  --  told me he didn't think he'd ever seen a bear with such big feet lol.  I've had her for a little while now and she's been sitting on my work table begging to be colored.  I just couldn't ignore that cute face any longer :)  Of course she's colored with copics and colored pencils.  The flowers are from my EK Success punches and I've added a little pearl to their centers.  The sentiment is from the Sweet Sentiments set by AmyR Stamps at All That Scraps. 

Thank you so much for stopping by.

Hugs, Anita

I Grant You One Wish

Good morning stamping friends.  I apologize for not visiting your lovely blogs lately.  Our family took a vacation to Florida and I spent most of my time relaxing on the beach.  We had beautiful weather, fabulous food, and a wonderful week of family time.  I think we all came home with some great memories ;)  I barely even turned on my laptop while we were gone.  Then the day after we arrived home, I came down with a horrible bug.  I'm so glad I didn't get sick until after we were home but that bug really knocked me off my feet for a couple of days.  So I will be around to catch up on your beautiful creations over the next few days.

Today I have a sweet little fairy to show.  This sweetie is I Grant You One Wish and you can find her and lots of other gorgeous fairies over at Funky Kits.  

She's colored with copics and colored pencils and I added lots of Glamour Dust so she would sparkle.  The sentiment is by PTI and the snowflakes are from a My Favorite Things die-namic.  I followed the lovely Maria Therese's sketch over at The Sugar Bowl Challenge.  Did you know that you may win fabulous Sugar Nellie stamps by entering their challenges?  Be sure to stop by and check out the details on their challenge blog.

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

Hugs, Anita

Birthday Bash Blog Hop

Hello sweet friends!  Christine is the CC Designs illustrator and co-owner of the All That Scraps Shop.  Today is her birthday and we're having a blog hop party to help her celebrate.

Christine, I hope you have a fabulous birthday and that all your birthday wishes come true!  In honor of your birthday, I've made you a cupcake ... well, a paper cupcake of course ;) 

This adorable image is CC Designs Cupcake Kiki La Rue.  She's colored with copics and colored pencils and the sentiment is from the Sweet Sentiments set by AmyR Stamps.  The yummy cupcake was made with the CC Designs Cutter Sweet Treats Die.  Then I used the CC Designs Cutter Corner Banner Die to add the sweet banner across the top of the card.

Booooo To You!

Hello everyone.  I have a little Halloween card to share today. 

This not-so-scary witch is from the Meoples Witches and Goblins stamps over at All That Scraps.  This collection of stamps is an August release and they're just perfect for your Halloween projects.  I colored the image with copics and colored pencils.  The sentiment is from the Halloween Sentiments stamp set and I stamped it on the polka-dot paper.  I added a few flying bats that I cut out using the new CC Cutter Bats Die.  My papers are Echo Park that I picked up last year.  

Thank you so much for stopping by.  I hope you're enjoying your weekend.

Hugs, Anita

Friends To The End

Hello friends.  I think this sassy girl was one of my very first Sugar Nellie stamps.  

This cutie is High School Student from the Sugar Nellie Simply Sassy collection.  She's colored with copics and colored pencils.  My papers are October Afternoon and they're some older ones from my stash.  I love these bright, summery colors.  I added a tag and a flourish with some button flowers.  You can find this stamp over at Funky Kits.

Thank you for stopping by. 

Hugs, Anita

Holiday Greetings

Happy Tuesday friends.  I've been working on my Christmas card stash for this year so I have another Christmas card to share today.

This adorable image is Reindeer Sally by Sassy Cheryl's Digis.  I've actually had this image for quite awhile but just got around to coloring her.  I think she's just the cutest!  She's colored with copics and colored pencils.  I used Creative Inspirations products to add lots of sparkle to my card.  I applied Resplendence Regal Red Fine Glitter to the ornament she's holding in her hand, and Resplendence Angel Dust Fine Glitter on the ornament and snowflake diecut embellishments.  I used their Deliquesce Fine Black embossing powder on the sentiment.

Creative Inspirations also carries beautiful paints and their paints are on sale for 10% off for the month of August.  OK, one more holiday card completed ... and I don't even want to think about how many more I need ;)    

Thank you so much for stopping by.

Hugs, Anita

Hello crafty friends.  Today I have used one of the cute little Pure Innocence stamps by My Favorite Things.
