Snuggle


Another sweet stamp by The Greeting Farm! You can see the markers I used. I used the new deckled ovals to cut her out and layered on a regular oval. I wanted a little bling to put on this card but had nothing that came close to the colors I used, so I found myself a white flower and colored it with the R35 Copic and ta-da, the prefect match! I used a blingy brad in the center and layered it all on some of the new Thrift Shop paper by October Afternoon. Have a great day!

Sheriff Ian



This is Sheriff Ian from The Greeting Farm. I love these kids! So cute and so much fun to color! You can see all the colors I used in the photo, I also colored his badge with gold Smooch Ink. He is cut and layered with Labels 8. I did a little stiching with some maroon colored twine and layered him on some East meets West paper by Moxie. Have a great day!

Bride & Groom


So much going on these days, not much that is crafty though. 12 days left before I have to take my daughter to the airport, maybe when I know she is safe and sound at her destination things will get crafty again here.
The stamp is called "Happy Couple" by Stampendous. I stamped with black pigment and heat embossed with clear powder. I pretty much wanted to keep it black and white. The groom is colored with black Copic marker and the bride is covered in diamond stickles! I also used E00, E33, E35, R20, B24, and BG10 Copics. It is cut and layered with oval and scalloped Nesties. The background is CuttleBugged with Textile Texture. Have a great day!

Crabby!


This cute little crab is from Judith! He is colored with R59, R29, and BG10. I love the look of the inverted scallop circles with him! The paper and ribbon are Cosmo Cricket.
Sorry, for the short posts! Time is very valuable these days. Not too many days until it is time to take Megan to the airport for her adventure in Bulgaria. I will try to post something every day, but no promises at this point in time. Have a great day!

Make it a Grande!

Good morning! Another quick card using Just Rite, just a little caffeine set & borders. Stamped in brown pigment and heat embossed with clear powder on ivory cardstock. I used E33, YG63 and YR02 Copics to color. I cut with circles Nesties and layered on labels one. The paper is from Mr. Campy, Cosmo Cricket. So much to do and still spend some time with Megan before she leaves! Have a great day!

Sweet

Good morning! A little coloring for today. This cute little cupcake came in a set I found somewhere! Sorry, I wish I could remember them all, I got it quite some time ago and when I put it in it's CD case for storage I didn't label it very well. Lesson learned. The sentiment was also part of the set. I used the Divine Swirl Cuttlebug folder behind the cupcake. The papers were from my scrap bin, they are from the DCWV Baby Girl stack. The ribbon was also from my stash. Have a great day!

Wild West Anya


I did it! But I goofed too! There was no RV21 used on this card, I used white Smooch Ink on her shirt on this one instead of the light pink. Sorry! I cut her out with Labels Eleven, a new Nestie! I am loving this one! I found some cute pink horseshoe paper at The Pine City Scrapbooking Co. I decided to change up my fold a little this time so I added the red label brad on the side to hold it shut. Have a great day!

This is a very simple one! I'm not sure I'm really happy with how it turned out but......The stamp is from Cornish Heritage Farms. I stamped it with Rich Cocoa Memento ink on ivory cardstock.

Superstar Anya


I'm trying something new! Instead of listing the marker colors I thought it would be easier to just upload a picture of the ones I used. It would be easier if this blog thing wasn't smarter than I am. I think I have it figured out now. We'll see if I can do it 2 days in a row?
Superstar Anya is cut out with the petite long ovals. She is layered on some BoBunny concord grape dot and then on some of the new BoBunny, Jazmyne line. I used a Martha Stewart punch on the bottom of the base of the card. Have a great day!

Birthday Anya

I am loving these new stamps, well new to me, by The Greeting Farm. Copics used are E00, R20, E11, E33, E37, R32, R37, and W1. I colored the cake with Smooch Inks. If you haven't tried these yet you are missing out! They come in a bottle like nail polish but the brush inside is quite stiff and I think they are up to over 20 colors now. They are a beautiful pearly paint. I used Labels small and large to cut her out and layered on BoBunny dots and some Cosmo Cricket. Have a great day!

Don't Tell Me!

I have felt like this a lot lately. One month from today my daughter will be leaving with the Peace Corps to spend 27 months in Bulgaria, teaching English. Even though I have known for quite some time, the closer it gets, the harder it gets. I have to stay focused on the positive, I still have another month to spend with her before her adventure begins! I'm excited for her and at the same time missing her already. Enough of my babbling, on with the card.

Scaredy Cat and the saying are both by Judith. The cat is colored with C7, C5, C3, C1, BG10, and R20 Copic markers. The cat is cut out with Labels Three of the Nestibilities, layered on black cardstock and some of my favorite Cosmo Cricket paper! Have a great day!

Giraffe Again!

I told you yesterday that I love giraffes, I had made this one for Valentine's day. Stamped him and colored him the same as the one I used yesterday but cut him out with the petite long oval Nesties. I added little dots of crystal Stickles on the scallops. The heart was also cut out with Nesties. The "Love" stamp is by Papertrey Ink, I stamped it with white pigment and heat embossed with white powder so it would pop on the red BoBunny dot paper. I used my white gel pen to add the stiching around the edges. The other paper and ribbon are from my stash. Have a great day!

The stamp is by Judith, stamped in brown pigment, heat embossed with clear powder, and colored with E33, R20, and BG10 Copic markers. There wasn't much to color on this one but it is a giraffe so I didn't care! I love giraffes! I used the EK notebook, slim border punch on the side, cut and layered with the rectangle nesties. Have a great day!

Three's a Crowd

I'm still thinking summer! I can't wait for it to get here. Well, maybe I can, I don't like the humidity. Maybe it will be a perfect 70 and sunny every day?

This is another Whippersnapper. The birds are colored with B24, B32, Y21, and a little YR07 for their beaks. The birdbath is colored with C5, C3, and the colorless blender. The grass is YG67, the flowers are Y15, I colored the centers with my brown spica pen. I used 29 for the ladybug. I added a little Glossy Accents to the beaks and the ladybug.

Flower Grater

Thinking summer!!! I can't wait for all the flowers to be in bloom! This is another stamp by Judith. The grater is colored with C5, C3, and C1, I also used the colorless blender to lighted the C1 just a bit more. The flowers are E33 in the center, YR07 and Y38 on the petals. It's kind of hard to tell from this photo but I used YG11 for the greenery. A little BG10 under the grater for the shadow. I can't wait to go out and pick some fresh flowers! Thanks for looking!

I love this sad looking little Hairy Bunny from Judith. I think he worried he won't get all his baskets delivered in time. He is stamped in brown pigment, heat embossed with clear powder, and colored with R20, E00, E33, E37, and BG1o Copic markers. I layered him on a square scalloped Nestie.

This was a challenge for me, I love big stamps! This is small Sitting Griz by Judith. I stamped it with brown pigment and heat embossed it with clear powder on creme cardstock. Then colored it with E00, E33, and E37 Copic markers. I cut him out with circle Nestibilities and layered him on 3 bigger scallops. Added a little ribbon on top of the big dot paper and ta da! You can use a small stamp on a big 6x6 card. Thanks for looking!

Another Judith stamp! He is so cute and so sad all at the same time. He is stamped with black pigment and heat embossed with clear powder. I colored him with E00, E33, E37, R20, C1, C3, 100, and BG10 Copic markers. I can't remember who made the raspberry paper, I wish I would have gotten more of this paper when it was around.
