By LORi Designs - Easter Todd

( ** Please scroll down for my SugarPea Designs post ** )

Hello everyone!  I hope you had a wonderful weekend and got to spend lots of time relaxing and getting crafty!  Today I'm sharing a card I made for the By LORi Designs Blog. 

With Easter just around the corner I decided to use this adorable Easter Todd for my card.  I colored him with copics and colored pencils and then fussy cut him.  I used my Nestabilities to make the oval and created a little scene with clouds, grass, Easter eggs, and the sun.  Lori has lots of sweet Easter images over in her digi shop.  

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

Hugs, Anita

SugarPea Designs April Sweet Sneaks - Day 1

Today's sweet sneak features My Hero.  Isn't he adorable?  I just love his little face - so cute!  I colored him with copics and colored pencils and used one of the fabulous sentiments that comes with the stamp set.  I used Glossy Accents on his eyeglasses - not sure that it shows that well in the photo but it's really cute.  Then I added some die-cut stars because every super-hero needs lots of stars, right?

Lil Monster Girl Gretchen

( ** Please scroll down for the YNS Blog Hop ** )


Hello again!  If you're looking for the YNS Blog Hop, please scroll down.  We have a new inspiration post over on the By LORi Design Blog.  This image was so much fun to color and it's a totally different design than Lori usually draws! 

Meet Lil' Monster Girl Gretchen ... isn't she adorable?  When I first saw this sweet little monster, I wasn't sure about trying to color her because she's so different from what I usually color.  But I actually had a blast coloring her.  I mean, she's a lil monster and a little artsy-fartsy ... so I just had fun with it!  I used my copics and colored pencils to color her and then just added some ribbon with a bow.  Hey, with an image like Gretchen, she needs to be the focal point, right?  Be sure to stop by the By LORi Designs Blog to see what the rest of the team did with this sweetie.  You're going to love their cards!

Thanks for stopping by.

Hugs, Anita

Stamp:  By LORi Designs - Lil' Monster Girl Gretchen; sentiment - computer generated
Paper:  Neenah and some leftover scraps from my stash

My card features the sweet "Chirpy" ... isn't this image just adorable?  And so perfect for your Easter cards!  I just love this little ball of fluff sitting on the polka-dotted egg.  I colored them with copics and colored pencils and used some Glossy Accents on Chirpy's beak and legs/feet.  I used Glamour Dust on the big pink bow for some sparkle.  The fun, bright papers are from Doodlebug and I added a few buttons to finish off my card.

Sugar n' Spice

Good morning everyone!  I hope you had a fabulous weekend.  We had a cold and rainy/snowy Saturday but Sunday the weather was so nice - a little chilly still but the sun was shining! 

We have a new inspiration post over on the La-La Land Crafts Blog.  Our inspiration is "hearts aflutter" so we want to see hearts and/or butterflies.  I used this sweet Sugar n' Spice Marci and colored her with copics and colored pencils.  I used a bit of Glamour Dust on her cupcake and added a little heart charm to the bow.  The gorgeous banner in the corner is from the Heart Banner Die.  This is one of my favorite dies ... I think I would use it on every card I make if I could lol!  I have been a guest with the La-La Crafts DT for the months of February and March so sadly this is my last post with them.  I want to thank Debbie and Irina for inviting me to play along with this group of talented and sweet ladies!  Of course that doesn't mean that I won't still be coloring these adorable little Marcis and Lukas!  Be sure to stop by the La-La Land Crafts Blog to see what the rest of this amazing team is sharing today.

Here is a list of the copics and pencils I used:
Skin - E21, E00, E000, R20, R11
Hair - E27, E23, E21
Clothes & Shoes - RV10, V000, YR30 and Prismacolor Pencils PC994, PC1034
Spoon - E44, E43, E41
Cupcake - E44, E43, E41, B000, RV10, V000, Prismacolor PC994
