Sweet Baby

Today is a CC Designs review day over on the All That Scraps Blog and the DT is sharing some fun new cards we've made with the May release.


I used Honey Bee-trice to make a baby card.  She's colored with copics and colored pencils and I used Glamour Dust on her wings.  I used a doily, ribbon, and some pearls.  Did you see what I used to attach my sentiment tag?  A tiny little safety pin ... I've had these little pins forever and thought it would go perfectly on a baby card. 

Be sure to stop by the All That Scraps Blog to see what the rest of the DT has created.  And don't forget that today is the last day to purchase the adorable Sugarplums Beach Kit at the sale price.

Thanks for stopping by!

Hugs, Anita

Happy Days

Hello friends.  Today I have a sweet Sugar Nellie card to share with you.


This cutie is from the Home Grown Sherbet Pips collection, which you can find at Funky Kits.  I love this collection because these little girls are just as cute as can be!  I've colored Candy Pip with copics and colored pencils and added a bit of glitter paint to the flowers in her hair and her hand.  I've popped her up on some nestabilities diecuts and added some flowers and pearls.  These papers are some Martha Stewart dp I've had forever.  I'm not usually a fan of her papers but I found this pad on clearance and thought the colors were pretty.  The sentiment is from the Friend Stamp Set over at Precious Remembrance Shop.

Thank you for stopping by - have a wonderful day!

Hugs, Anita

Thinking of You

Happy Tuesday friends.  Today is CC Designs review day over on the All That Scraps Blog so I have a fun card to share.


I used the C.C. Designs Sugarplums Beach Kit.  This cute little girl and the umbrella are both part of the kit, along with lots of other great stamps.  I colored the images with copics and colored pencils.  I tried to make a little beach scene with sand, water, and the sky, and added some ribbon and a button.  The sentiment is Underwater Sentiments by AmyR Stamps.

Be sure to stop by the All That Scraps Blog to check out all the beautiful inspiration by the DT.  Don't forget the Sugarplums Beach Kit is on sale for a special price but you need to hurry because the sale ends in a few days!

Thank you for stopping by.

Polly's Birthday Wishes

Hello friends.  I hope you're having a fun weekend.  I've had this adorable image from Sassy Cheryl's Digis for awhile now and finally found some time to color her.


This cutie is called Polly's Pink Flower and she was so much fun to color.  I used copics and colored pencils to color her in my favorite color combo - pink and turquoise/aqua.  She's colored with copics and colored pencils and then I used a brown button for the center of the daisy.  My fun paper is My Mind's Eye and I'm down to my last few scraps of this dp :(  The sentiment tag is from My Favorite Things.

Thank you so much for stopping by.
