Friendship is the Sweetest Flower

Good evening everyone!  I don't usually post so late in the day but my computer has been making my life difficult ... unfortunately, I think it is dying a slow death.  I've been trying to nurse it along because I really don't want to fork out a bunch of $$$ for a new one but I think I'm just going to have to go 'puter shopping this week.  Anyway, you didn't stop by to listen to me whine, did ya?  So let me share a new card with you.

This image is from the Love You Bunches stamp set by SugarPea Designs.  I often find myself reaching for this set because of all the great sentiments that are included.  I colored this sweetie with copics and cut her out using a stitched circle die.  Some twine, punched flowers, and pearls finished off my card.

Here's a photo of the entire stamp set.  Like I said, this set is so versatile and I love the sentiments! 

Thank you so much for stopping by.

Hugs, Anita

Guest Designer at Little Miss Muffet

Good morning everyone!  I have been so lucky to be a guest designer over on the Little Miss Muffet Challenge Blog for the month of July.

 

They have a new challenge that is starting today and the theme is "Baby, Baby", so I decided to use the Hanging Clothes Baby digi.  I colored the images with copics and then fussy cut them and added them to a length of twine.  I thought the buttons would be a cute way to finish off the image.  

Be sure to stop by the Little Miss Muffet Challenge Blog to see the projects by their amazing team and to find all the challenge details!  I want to thank Faye and the rest of her amazing team for allowing me to play along with them this month - it was so much fun!  

Thanks for stopping by.

7KCF Challenge - Get Wordy

Happy Wednesday!  We have a new challenge for you over on the 7KCF Challenge Blog.  Our challenge is "anything goes", with an optional twist of "get wordy" (add a sentiment).

I used this cute Shopping Marci from La-La Land Crafts and colored her with copics.  The Wrought Iron Fence Die is also from La-La Land Crafts.  I added a few sequins to give my card a little bit of sparkle and paper-pieced the shopping bags.  Be sure to stop by the 7KCF Challenge Blog to see what the rest of the team is sharing today!

Happy Birthday Mouse

Today I have a card featuring one of the newer images by Bugaboo Stamps.

This sweet little image is Mouse - Big Flower and I thought he would make a perfect birthday card!  I colored him with copics and colored pencils and added some Glossy Accents to his nose and the little lady bug on the flower.  I used StarDust Stickles on the dragonfly's wings.  I'm entering this card in the Stella Says Sketch Challenge 212 so of course I used their sketch.  This was a very quick and easy birthday card.  There are so many cute Bugaboo images so be sure to check out their shop.

Thanks for stopping by.
