All That Scraps August Preview - Day 1

( ** Please scroll down for the Sugar Nellie Blog Hop ** )

Today the All That Scraps design team is previewing the new August release.  We have so many fabulous images this month and today I'm showing you . . .

Beatrice Crayon




Aack!  Isn't she adorable?  I just love these sweet Beatrice stamps that Christine designs and this cutie just makes me smile.  She's colored with copics and colored pencils.  I scribbled the primary colors with copics and matted them on the card.  The sentiment is from the new School Logos stamp set.  I added ribbon, a bow, and a button to finish my card.  The new release will be available in the All That Scraps shop later this week.

Be sure to stop by the All That Scraps Blog to see what the rest of the dt has created.  You are going to love their projects!  I'll have another sneak peek tomorrow so I hope to see you then.

A Cute Theodore

( ** You can enter my birthday candy here ** )

Happy Saturday friends.  I hope you're getting to relax and enjoy the weekend.  I love Bugaboo Digi Stamps and have quite a few of their images.  It seems like I don't get to color them as often as I would like, but I did find some time recently to color this cute little teddy bear.


This little fella is Theodore.  Sure looks like he's taking it easy today, huh?  I colored him with copics and colored pencils and added Glossy Accents to his nose and to his ladybug friend.  I used some paper scraps and a few buttons and this card was finished in no time.  I'm usually a very slooow card maker so I love it when I can finish one quickly.  This card will be going to a little boy so I didn't want to add too many embellishments.  After all, that little 7-year-old is going to be much more interested in the gift that's attached to this card lol!

Thanks for stopping by.  Have a great weekend!

Hugs, Anita

Have a Sweet Day

( ** You can enter my birthday candy here ** )

Hello stamping friends.  Over on the All That Scraps Blog the design team is sharing some new projects using the sweet images from our July release.


This sweet thing is Swiss Pixie Ice Cream Lucy - isn't she a cutie?  I used my copics and colored pencils to color her.  I decided she should have a mint chocolate chip cone since that's one of my favorites ;)  The little ice cream cone diecuts were made with the Sweet Treats Die.  I added some ribbon and a little button cut with the Buttons Die.  The sentiment is from the Sweet Sentiments stamp set by AmyR.  Be sure to stop by the All That Scraps Blog to see what the rest of the dt has created.

Thank you so much for stopping by.

Hugs, Anita

Merry & Bright

( ** You can enter my birthday candy here ** )

Hello sweet stampers.  Well, as my title says, I've got something merry and bright to share today ... you may need your sunglasses!


This sweet little girl is Gingerbread and you can find her over at Funky Kits.  She is colored with copics and colored pencils.  And yes, I know that her coat is a little too pink and bright ;)  But I wasn't about to toss her in the trash and start all over - especially since her coat is the last thing I colored lol.  She's got lots and lots of Glamour Dust on her outfit and then I added some little pearls for her buttons.  I also added some Glamour Dust and pearls to the snowflakes.  My snowflake border is from Memory Box.  My little stack of Christmas cards is starting to grow ;)

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

Hugs, Anita
