Whimsie Doodle Cutie

Check out this cutie digi from Whimsie Doodles!

I have had this paper forever and as soon as I saw this image I knew it would be perfect.  I think it's from Queen & Co.  I love blue/green combos.  So glad tomorrow if Friday, I have the day off again and am hoping to get some crafting time in.  I'm running out of options of things to watch on Netflix I think I've exhausted the horror/thriller/mystery/zombie/viral plague/natural disaster selections!!  I am patiently waiting for the second season of The Walking Dead to be available on disc two and a half more weeks!  Can't resist anything zombie related lol!  Hope everyone had a good week!

Balloons!

The new challenge is up at The Stamping Boutique and it's all about balloons!

Here is my creation - colored with Copics.  This was something completely different for me.  I used my Silhouette to cut and score the box and cut three balloons.  Make sure you stop by TSB's blog to see the DT's awesome creations.

Halloween Fluffles

Fluffles has to be one of my favorite characters ever, I think my first stamp that I tried Prisma pencils and OMS with was a Fluffles.

Colored with Copics, the paper and buttons is Doodlebug.  The web punch I just picked up at JoAnns the other day.  I'm tired today, stayed up to late watching the Olympics but I can't turn off the swimming or diving!

The Stamping Boutique Anything Goes

Who doesn't love an Anything Goes Challenge!  I have to admit I was not happy with how I put this card together something just wasn't quite right and it made me so angry because it's such a beautiful TSB image!

Colored with Copics, I put a crystal glaze over the berries.  Make sure you check out our latest challenge!

Penny Black Hedgies

Happy Sunday!  It's a gloomy day here today, rained like crazy yesterday which we desperately needed but it's yicky!  On Friday Mark's mom and I went craft shopping, we went to the NE Scrapbook Co. in Canton and then on to the Stamp and Scrap Nest in Simsbury.  It was a fun day of shopping.  I picked up this Penny Black at the Stamp and Scrap.  Something about strawberries I just cannot resist! 

Colored with Copics.  I'm entering this in a couple challenges, Stamp & Create's Hand's Full of Love, and Penny Black's Summertime.   Hope everyone had a great weekend and thanks for stopping by!

Happy Friday!

I have today off which is nice because it's been a crazy work week.  Hope everyone had a good week.  I made this card using a Sylvia Zet digi.  These images are just so detailed and sweet I love them!

Hope to get some card making time in later today didn't have much time at all this week!  Enjoy your day!!

The Stamping Boutique Texting Terminology

Sorry I'm late with this post I don't know where this week went.  The Stamping Boutique's latest challenge is "Texting Terminology".  I made this for my daughter to give to her "BFF" for her birthday.  This is from the laundry line series and is just adorable.

Colored with Copics, I love the little frog!  I wasn't happy with the flowers though.  It's actually raining here which it hasn't done in weeks so I'm not complaining about a cloudy Friday.

Magnolia Tilda

We were on vacation last week and we took a day trip to the Middlebury Consignment shop.  I had heard about it and it sounded like a fun place, it was about an hour away.  It wasn't quite what I expected but it was a very cool shop but we didn't buy anything so when I came home I was pouty about not finding anything so I went over to my fave LSS The Inspiration Station and one of the things I picked up was this Tilda stamp.

Colored with Copics, the paper is Close To My Heart.  So today was back to work - yick!!  Hope everyone had a great Monday. 

More Halloween

Definitely in a Halloween mood!  These two cute digis are from the Stamp Fairy, there are so many cute digis to choose from.  It's kind of a dreary day here, cloudy and showers but it isn't as hot as it was supposed to be so I'm not complaining.  I have the house to myself so me and the pup have been in my craft room all day although I really only got two cards done!  Both of these are colored with Copics, I added pics of the Copics I used for each card.  I know I really appreciate it when someone lists out what they have used in case I absolutely love a color combo so I hope you find it helpful!

I've struggled with pictures today, I really need a light box.  Took pictures outside, inside on my desk, inside by the door nothing was working.



Enjoy your weekend.
