Amelia

 

Amelia is one of the sweet designs of Maybelle RO, I could not resist

pulling out one of her creations to play with when I got my Inktense

pencils for my birthday.  What fun to play with!  I was happy with

how they colored.  I used Inktense on the dress, bow, flower, and leaves,

I used Copics on the rest. Then I cut Amelia out and popped her

up on a white die cut.   Pattern paper is by Jillbean  Soup.

Thinking of You

 

I made this card up in a few colors but like the black  best,

it is the most striking to me.  I used a Quick Kutz

nesting lace oval die cut, Hero Arts/Sizziz Framelits

stamp and die cut, and a Morning Star stamp for the lace

line.  It is hard to tell by the picture but I dry embossed

above the lace embossing. This card was inspired by a

Gina K tutorial.

Valentine's

Here are a few of the Valentines I sent out this year. Valentines Day is

such fun.  My husband spoils me, since it is also my birthday so he does

not want me to feel slighted.  We are going to my favorite restaurant for

lunch and are just going to have fun all day!  I have a few surprises for

him too!  Enjoy your day!

Carlie

I'm back with another one of the Cuddlebug Cuties,

I am trying to improve on hair and faces, I'm okay on faces

but have not mastered hair. I need to print several and

just color everyday, good excuse, coloring is such fun!

If you look close you can see the sparkles in my background

paper DCWV, Nana's Kids, Cardstock is Amuse.  I also added

added a pearl embellishment from my stash and used my Sakura

pen to make it into a necklace for additional sparkle!

Does anyone have a good color combo for Asian hair and skin,

I would appreciate if you could share that with me?

Sweetheart

 One of my favorite things about challenges is that you

discover new stamping companies by the sponsors.  This

is Annabelle by Milk Coffee the sponsor for Sketch Saturday

this week.  I think she is adorable and perfect for my

granddaughter.  I colored her with copics, used my nesting

eyelet nesting square die cuts, and yes another new 6x6

paper pack from Archivers, Authentique:  Smitten. The

Sweetheart sticker is also from the paper pack, I just

added some sponging around the edge.  I went back

to Archivers this w/e, the store is close to empty.

 Also check out Scrappers Delight, the adorable sponsor

over at MIM this week and Oak Pond Creations at Crafting
by Designs.

Today is my dear husbands birthday so that called for  a

special card.  He likes all things nautical so I pulled out

this Stampin Up set I have had forever, and of course had

to buy a new 6x6 paper pack Down by the Shore by

fancypantsdesigns at Archivers! Enclosed was a

 coupon for a hot air balloon ride that covers both

of our birthdays (mine is in a few weeks). He was happy!

Breezy Day

This is  a line of digi stamps I had not seen before,

Cuddlebug Cuties.  This is Bree.  Not my usual

style which is what attracted me to them.  You

just get in the mood to change things up. The paper is

 jillibean soup-Grandma Lima Bean Soup.  I went

 shopping with my mom at Archivers last week, one

last time before they close (although they went to

40% off today!) and bought some paper pads, (this was

one of them) and one stamp set.  Stamps are the only

 thing that they had much of left. Sad that so many

stamping stores and companies are going under.
