Boys, Boys, Boys

Happy Monday friends.  I hope you had a wonderful weekend.  Are you ready to start the week off with a fun new Pollycraft challenge?  Our lovely Faye chose our challenge this week and she's chosen the theme of Boys, Boys, Boys.

I've used Swings and Slides - My Ride.  Isn't he adorable with his little glasses?   I colored this sweet boy with copics and colored pencils.  I cut out his eyeglasses and popped them up on foam tape and then added some Glossy Accents.  I used my MFT cloud and grass dies and a MS fence punch.  Some twine and a button finished my card. 

Be sure to stop by the Pollycraft Challenge Blog to check out the amazing work by the lovely DT.  We're being sponsored by Letraset this week and if you're the lucky winner they're giving away a 5-pack of Promarkers!

Girly Creations

Good morning friends.  We have a new challenge for you over at Di's DigiDesigns Challenge Blog.  The challenge is to make a girly creation.  I love making girly creations - flowers, ribbons, bows, sparkle.  What's not to like, right?  And Di has so many adorable images that are perfect for this challenge.

I have used Flower Beary Fairy for my girly creation.  Now, you can't get much cuter or girly than this sweet little bear.  I colored her with copics and colored pencils and used Glossy Accents on her nose.  I sprinkled some Glamour Dust on her flowers and wings.  I added a bow, a button, and a little tag.  I made my flower with a new MFT Die-Namic and added a few pink gems.

Please be sure to stop by Di's DigiDesigns Challenge Blog to see the gorgeous makes by the rest of the talented team.  Our challenge is open for two weeks so you have plenty of time to join in.  We're being sponsored by Crafty Boots. 

I hope you have some fabulous plans for the weekend.  My monthly painting group is meeting this morning.  We take the summer months off so this is our first meeting after our summer break.  I'm sure we'll get more talking done than painting lol!

A Sassy Tag

Happy Wednesday friends.  I hope you're having a wonderful week so far - we're halfway to the weekend, yeah!  I have been trying to work on my stash of Christmas cards and thought I would try something a little different and make a tag.  

This little sweetie is Sugar Nellie's Simply Sassy Secret Santa.  I colored her with copics and colored pencils and applied Fluffy Stuff to the fur on her outfit.  I used Tim Holtz's Distress Crackle Paint around the edges of my paper to give it a snowy look.  I've also been seeing so many of you talented ladies using cheesecloth and I love the way it looks on your projects, so I gave it a try.  I used a bit of lace and then punched various sizes of snowflakes which are covered with Glamour Dust - I love that sparkle!  I added some chocolate brown pearls to some of the snowflakes.  The sentiment ticket also has some paint and sparkle on the edges.  I had ordered that huge roll of seam binding awhile back and finally dyed some with Tim Holtz's Tea Dye Distress Ink. 

I will probably use this tag on my niece's Christmas package.  She loves these Sassy images and I think this tag would be perfect for a young teen girl, don't you?  

Thank you for stopping by.

It's a Sketch at Pollycraft

Good morning friends.  I hope you had a wonderful weekend with warm weather.  It was freezing here on Saturday and still pretty chilly on Sunday.  Hopefull, we are suppose to warm up this week.  I am not ready for this cold weather.  OK, since you didn't stop by to hear me whine about my weather let's talk about the new challenge over at Pollycraft.  Our lovely Lou chose our challenge this week and she's provided us with a fabulous sketch. 

I've used Chester's Pudding on my card and isn't he the cutest little monkey you've ever seen?  I colored him with copics and colored pencils.  I added some Glossy Accents to the berries and just a little Glamour Dust on the frosting.  The swirl behind my sentiment is from my new Memory Box die.

Please be sure to stop by the Pollycraft Challenge Blog to see the gorgeous work by the rest of the amazing DT.  I hope you play along in our challenge this week.  We're being sponsored by Pollycraft  and the winner gets 10 free digis!

October Whimsy Digi Stamps Blog Hop

Happy Saturday and thank you for joining us for our October Whimsy Stamps digi blog hop.  You should have come from Pattie's blog.  If you didn't, you may want to hop over to the Whimsy Inspirations Blog and start there. 

I used Christmas Cheer Deer by Crissy Armstrong.  Isn't he adorable?  I colored him with my copics and colored pencils and added Glossy Accents to his nose and StarDust Stickles to the bell at his neck. 

Your next stop on the hop will be Sarah's blog.  Please be sure to leave a comment at each blog along the way.  A random winner will be picked from two of the blogs and the winners will receive a digi image of their choice from the Whimsy Stamps shop.  The Grand Prize winner will be randomly selected from the last stop on the hop.  This winner will get five digi images of their choice and will get to be a guest designer for Whimsy.  The hop will end on Saturday, October 8 at 12 Noon EST.  

Thank you for stopping by and good luck on the hop!

Let's Hit The Town

Hello friends.  It's Wednesday so that means I have a Simply Sassy card to share today.  I have used Let's Hit The Town, a sassy girl from the newest Sugar Nellie Simply Sassy release.

Isn't she a beautiful girl?  I love the sweet look on her face and her outfit is fabulous ... but look at her shoes!  They so remind me of shoes I wore when I was younger.  And I could actually walk in them without breaking my neck lol.  I colored this sweetie with copics and colored pencils and added some WOC flowers and a sheer ribbon & bow.  The flourish is a new MFT die and the sentiment is from PTI.  I thought this sentiment would be perfect with this image.  You can find this sassy girl and all her friends over at Funky Kits. 

Thank you for stopping by today.
