Sugar Rush Snail

Check out this cutie image along w/some other cutie WS images Kim sent me in a beautiful card. Oh and she sent me a pack of BG Kioshi dp! Lovin Kim!LOL! Thanks so much girl!

So I colored up this WS image I think is called Chesterfield to match the BG sugar rush dp. I used last weeks SCS sketch for my layout and I was digging through my stamps hoping I had an "inching by to say hi" sentiment! Sadly I did not so Im gonna have to raid Mamas stamps and see if she has one. If not I will have to make a computer generated sentiment but I really want a stamp so I can stamp it on the polka dot dp. I added some stickles to the snails spots and the flower center for a little sparkle and also added a couple of dew drops for some embellishment. Pretty simple card for today. Have a good one!

Summer Melon

Since summer has started I decided to pull out all my summer stamps this week and start playing with them. This adorable image from High Hopes caught my eye first. She is just a doll! If only it were a boy it would be perfect for my little man cuz he loves him some watermelon!LOL!! I colored this playing around with a hair color combo I saw on Kims blog yr14, yr18, e09, e19( I think she used 18 but I didnt have it so I used 19). I love playing around with different hair colors and skin tones. If I see one on someones blog I always jot it down and the blog to try later. So I have a post it note pad full of stuff by my computer!LOL! Okay so back to the card after coloring her hair, skin tone, and melon (r22, r24, r27, r29) cuz I mean what color are you gonna use other than red for that?!LOL! I had to decide what color I wanted to color her dress. So I thought she just looked like a blue kinda girl. I used B00, B01, and B12 for her dress. The grass was colored using yg21, 23, 25, and 63. So after I had her colored up she waited patiently on my desk for a couple of days before she made it onto this card today. I went looking for a sketch and found Jens sfytt and decided it was perfect for this little girl. Then I went onto hunt for some dp and staying true to my promise I pulled out my SU dp first. BINGO! Rainbow sherbert! I cut the girl with the circle nestie and sponged a little apricot appeal around the nestie to tie the color into my image. Im just weird that like!LOL! If I use a dp all the colors have to be somewhere in my image! Okay so these papers really are super bright so I had to tone them down a little with some antique linen sponged on them. I added a little ribbon from my ribbon stash and added one of Tori's bow and done! Thanks for stopping by today and listening to my babble!LOL! Hope you enjoyed the card!

Feelin a little Cheeky

I love TGF's cheeky line. Such cute and sassy girls! I finally got a chance to ink up this Rockabilly. I cant wait to get my inky hands on the new Cheeky girls!

For my Rockabilly cheeky I colored her without any dp in mind I just wanted to sit down and color! So I gave her black hair using the neutral copics and colored her dress blue. I drew a line and added some shading using cool grey copics so it didnt look like she was just hanging in mid air!LOL! So as I was going through my dps to decide what to pair her with I came across some BG dp and used it. Its hard to see in the pic but the large square layer, ribbon, and her rhinestone earrings are actually a navy blue. I kept the layout super simple for this one and even used a white card base. Have a great day!

Buggin you

Ahhh summer...so glad its finally here!! Ive been enjoying this past week with my family. I dont think we've been home other than to sleep any day this past week including this week so far!LOL! I wanted to share a few cards with you over the next couple of days I made on my on again off again blogging/stamping this past year. Bless you if you still visit me!LOL! Its been a year for me but things are starting to look up so Im happy for that!

I came across Bugaboo stamps one day while going through blogs (I think its was Jeanie aka Spotted Chick)and they had this adorable ladybug image as a freebie. I was too excited! I wanted to play with the fun Twitterpated dp I only used once last year so I colored the image to match the dp and pulled out this ribbon I picked up at Micheals. When I finished coloring the image with copics I decided to try out grass again and was pretty happy until my g28 copic bled a few times. I was so mad but loved how everything else turned out so I decided to just keep the image. I sponged the edges with the closest ink I had to the cloud piece of dp but its still more off than I like. I also used a sketch that of course I didnt get this posted in time for and have no idea which sketch it was now. Im so looking forward to this summer and getting back into stamping and blogging and commenting!LOL! AND actually doing challenges on time!!! Have a great day!

Tart and Tangy Emma

Hello friends hope you are having a "cherry" good day!LOL!! Keeping true to my promise to myself I pulled out some retired SU dp to use this weekend. I loved Jens sfytt from Sat so I sat down and colored up this Cherry Emma. I think this dp is called Summer Picnic but I know its dp that goes with the SU set Tart and tangy. Anywho I forgot how much I liked this dp and Jens fun sketch was great for using different designs. I pulled out some lovely crocheted flowers Anne was so nice to send me. Ive been hoarding these beauties but finally decided to use the red one! Thanks so much Anne! I may just have to send her this card as a thank you! Okay thats it for me today short and sweet. Im looking forward to a relaxing weekend since I know the last week of school is going to be killer!LOL!! Have a good one!

Sugar Rush Tomboy

I adore this TGF image! Shes so cute with her little tongue stuck out!LOL! I thought she would be cute paired with the fun designs in the BG sugar rush dp. Of course I had to color her clothes mismatched since she probably doesnt care if she matches or not!LOL!! Kinda like my girls! This totally looks like something my 7 year old would get up on and put on to wear to school!LOL! I think the sketch I used was last weeks Sweet Sunday sketch. I wanted to keep this card pretty simple and this sketch was perfect for a simple layout. I even jotted down my copic colors I used on this one. I think I'll slip this card in my little girls bookbag the last day of school. Have a great one!

Copics: yg13, yg25, g21, g40, c3, c5, c7, b60, b63, b66, y32, y35, y38, r24, r27, r29, rv10, rv11, rv32, e21, e25, e29, e27, e00, r000, r20, r22

ESS Daisies

If you visit my blog often you know I tend to do more cutesy cards. Im not too big on flowers except daisies! I love this set from Flourishes Gerbera Daisy. I also finally got my hands on some BG Origins dp with I think goes perfect for daisies. Of course the daisy image is colored with copics and sponged with antique linen. I also added some chocolate pearls to the image. I used Tracy's ESS sketch for my layout which I think was also perfect for this image. I just love when my cards fall together so easily!LOL! Im really happy with how this turned out! I even pulled out some SU garden green cs! I cant tell you how long its been since I used that color!LOL!! I also paired the dp with SU chocolate chip and crushed curry. I even finished the inside of this card mainly because I knew the occassion I wanted to use it for. Im bad about not stamping a sentiment on card so I can have it if I need a last minute card.

I hope all you Mothers had a great day yesterday!! I spent the day with my Mom, sis, and 3 kiddos. I have made the mistake of teaching my kids how to play Skip-Bo and now thats all they want to do!LOL!! Have a great one!
