Bee My Honey

Good morning friends.  We have a new release for you over on the StampFairy Blog.

Meet Barry Bee - isn't he adorable?  He's colored with copics and colored pencils and I've added lots of Glamour Dust to his wings.  I also used some Glossy Accents on his nose and antennae.  We are suppose to get a couple inches of snow tonight but Barry reminds me that spring will be here eventually lol!  I also think he's perfect for a Valentine card.

Here's the entire Barry Bee collection.  Please be sure to stop by the StampFairy Blog to see the wonderful work created by the rest of the DT.  You're sure to find lots of inspiration over there.

Thank you for stopping  by.  I hope you have a wonderful weekend.

Hugs, Anita

My Sugar Nellie Debut

Happy Wednesday!  Today is my first day to post over on the Sugar Nellie Blog.  I'm so excited to be a part of this talented DT!  Be sure you stop by to see all the gorgeous projects. 

So here's my Sugar Nellie DT card.  I used Cherry Pip on my card.  Isn't she adorable?  You can see all the Sherbet Pips over at Funky Kits.  I colored this little sweetie with copics and colored pencils.  I added some lace and a little heart charm.  I used the My Favorite Things dienamic for my flowers and then added a little pearl to each one.  Since this little girl is so sweet, I thought this sentiment would be perfect for her. 

Thank you so much for stopping by.  Have a wonderful day!

Hugs, Anita

Chill Out

Good morning friends.  We have a new challenge over on the Pollycraft Challenge Blog.  It was my turn to choose the theme and I decided on "Chill Out".  So you can make something related to winter or your interpretation of "chill out" might be something relaxing.  

I used Cuthbert Skiing for my frosty, winter card.  He's colored with copics and colored pencils and I added some Glossy Accents to his nose.  There's Glamour Dust on the hat and jacket, and I embossed the diecut circle with a snowflake embossing folder.

We are being sponsored by My Mum's Craft Shop.  Be sure to stop by the Pollycraft Challenge Blog to see the lovely projects by the rest of the DT.  I hope you join us in our challenge this week :)  

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

Hugs, Anita

I'm Love Sick

Hello friends.  I hope you're having a great week so far.  Only one more day till the weekend ... yeah!  I have an unusual Valentine card to share with you today :)

This adorable image is Nurse and she's one of Mo's fabulous images.  My daughter is a nurse so when I saw this image I just had to have it and finally found some time to color this sweetie.  I thought this would make a great Valentine card for her to give to her sweetheart.  Definitely not your typical Valentine card, right?  I colored this little nurse and her teddy with Distress Inks.  I used a doily, some ribbon, a button, and some pearls.  My sentiment is from a My Favorite Things Pure Innocence stamp set and I thought it was perfect for this card.

Thank you so much for stopping by. 

Hugs, Anita

Bee Mine

  (Scroll down for my Divas by Design post)

Happy Wedneday!  StampFairy is a sponsor over at the Fab 'n' Funky Challenges so I'm playing along as a guest designer this week.  Their theme is "use a digi" so how easy is that?

I used this cute little image from the Lenny Bee Collection.  Lenny is colored with copics and colored pencils and I've added Glamour Dust to his wings and the flower.  There's Glossy Accents on his antennae.  I used some brads, a heart-shaped button and some ribbon.

Please be sure to stop by the Fab 'n' Funky Challenge to check out all the challenge details and to see the fabulous work by the dt.

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

Anything Goes over at Divas by Design

Good morning friends.  We have a new challenge today over on the Divas by Design Challenge Blog.  Our new challenge is "anything goes".  I hope you can play along with us.

I have used Tickled Winter Little Lolita Evie from Tickled Pink Stamps.  I fell in love with this adorable image the moment I saw her.  She's colored with copics and colored pencils and I used Liquid Applique on the fur trim of her outfit and boots.  There's Glamour Dust on the little snowman she's holding and also on the snowflake dies.  I used some seam binding and pearls to finish my card.  My layout is the sketch from The Paper Players Challenge this week.

Our challenge is being sponsored by Craftie-Charlie and Tickled Pink Stamps.  Be sure to stop by the Divas by Design Challenge Blog to check out the amazing work by the rest of the DT.

Thank you so much for stopping by.
