High Hopes Farm Animals

So I had wanted this stamp for the longest time finally ordered it and then wasn't sure how I wanted it colored...I spent hours searching on Splitcoast and High Hopes blog for some inspiration! So here it is I hope you like it! Colored with pencils and OMS. The background paper with the chickens on it I found at Wiggles & Giggles in Wethersfield, thought it was cute had no idea what I was going to use it for but it worked out perfect if I do say so myself lol!!

Penny Black Hedge Hogs

I am anxiously awaiting my order of new Spring Penny Blacks, can't remembered which ones I ordered so it will be like a gift!! This is one of my favorite standby images. Colored with pencils and markers. Hard to tell in the pic but I used Crystal Lacquer on the ladybug and Stickles on the flower. Paper is from some giant paper pack I bought at Michael's loved the bright colors. It's Thursday, glad this week is almost over hoping the dreary weather goes away soon. Enjoy!!

High Hopes Koala

Another cutie....forgot I had this stamp actually until I was hunting around on Splitcoast looking at examples of High Hopes images. Colred with pencils and OMS. This was another set of paper I had in my "hoard" section. Try to better and use what I have! Added my flowers (of course lol). Happy Monday, glad it's done so tired tonight. Bringing my daughter to her dance class and crawling into bed as soon as we get home. Hugs!

Pink Cat Studio Itty Bitty Betty Butterfly

I love this image! Lots of layers, the center of the flowers are double stacked buttons, I put the first button on and it seemed to be not quite right so I added the top button which has glitter in it and I was much happier! The background behind the image was cut using one of the Nesties Pendant dies which I used at a class at the Inspiration Station back in December. I hadn't tried them before and I thought they were awesome! Just something different to use than the scallops.

High Hopes Cutie Cow

Such a cute cow! Colored with pencils, added my usual flowers everywhere! I've had the paper in my stash forever, was apparently hoarding it and decided to break it out. Love the blue/green color combo. Used my Nesties square. I hadn't paid much attention to the Nesties Borderabilities until I saw it used on a gorgeous card on Splitcoast so looks like I'm going to have to add those to my inventory!

Pink Cat Studio

This is one of the newer Pink Cat Studio digi images....so cute! I colored with Copics and pencils. Paper was a scrap I had in my stash....link to Pink Cat is on the right side of my blog check out all the images they are so cute!

Valentine Penny Black Cat

Another great Penny Black image...colored with pencils. The flowers are three layers, back layer are Primas, middle (pink) is a Cuttlebug die and the top layers are these great buckets of shiny flowers that come in different colors that are in the wedding isle at Michael's. Hope everyone is having a great Monday...it's raining like crazy here and the wind is whipping things around the yard!

Wow...time flew right by!

I can't believe how fast the last month went. Christmas and New Years have come and gone in a big blur. I don't remember a holiday season as busy before. We did enjoy ourselves though and I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday. I've been slow at card making just because there hasn't been any time but I did make a few last weekend...

These cute little mice I found at Cuddly Buddy Crafts they have all sorts of cute stuff on this site. Colored with pencils and OMS. Used one of my new Martha Steward punches for the heart, the heart paper I think is Doodlebug.

This is one of my newest Penny Black stamps, so cute~! Another new Martha Stewart punch, spent a lot of money at Michael's last week...lol! Colored with pencils and used a Copic marker for the blue around the image.

Have a great week everybody!

Where does the time go????

I cannot believe how busy the last week and half has been. I'm exhausted! I spent the day in Midtown Manhatten in the rain and snow on Saturday. Came home soaking wet and cold but we had a great time. Did my best to help the economy! I had a tiny amount of time on Thursday to make a couple of cards and only now had a chance to post them. The first one is a digi image from Crissy Armstrong available through Squigglefly. I used one of my new larger Martha Stewart border punches which I love. Paper I have been hoarding for awhile finally decided to use it! Second card is a digi from Pink Cat Studio - such a sweet image. Used my rectangle nesties and some paper I forgot I bought! Happy Monday!!!!!!
