You're The Coolest

Good morning.  I wanted to share a winter card I made a couple of weeks ago but forgot to share on my blog.

This sweet little image is Snowflake and you can find her at CC Designs.  Isn't she adorable?  I think she would make a perfect Christmas card too but I went with a winter theme.  I colored her with copics and colored pencils and then added some Glamour Dust to her hat and her snowflakes.  I used an older die from Impression Obsession to cut the snowflakes and then added a pearl to the center of each snowflake.  A very CAS card but easy to mail!

Thank you so much for stopping by.

I used What's The Buzz on this clean and simple card I whipped up for her.  I just love this adorable little bee-girl!  She's colored with copics and colored pencils and then I used Glossy Accents on the big eyeballs.  I used a hexagon die along the bottom of the card and added some ribbon and a bow.

Good morning friends.  I hope you had a wonderful weekend.  It's Monday so that means we have a new challenge for you over on the Pollycraft Challenge Blog.  This week it was our lovely Arabella's turn to choose our theme and she gave us a fabulous sketch to work with.

I used Blue's Branch and colored this cutie with my copics and colored pencils.  I added some Glossy Accents to the beak and white acrylic paint to the center of the flower.  My papers are scraps from my large stash.  And here's Arabella's sketch.  Don't you just love it?

Hoppy Easter

I hope you're having a fabulous week so far.  It's been a bit cool here the last few days.  Mother Nature played a trick on us and we had some gorgeous summery weather ... but that's disappeared.  I do hope it returns soon.

I've been working on some Easter cards.  This little sweetie is Swings and Slides - Lil Bunny by Pollycraft.  Don't you just love her bunny hat and her big glasses?  She's colored with copics and colored pencils and I used Glossy Accents on her glasses and the bunny's nose.  I added a doily and some pretty white ruffled lace.  My sentiment is an old Impression Obsession stamp that I've had forever.

Thanks so much for stopping by.  Have a wonderful week.

I used this adorable Fluffy Wabbit for my card.  This little cutie will be going to either my grandson or nephew so I wanted him to be bright and colorful.  He's colored with copics and colored pencils and there's Glossy Accents on his eyes and chocolate candy.  I added a few buttons to finish my card.  Since I'll be mailing this I didn't want to make it too bulky.

It's Time for a Sketch & a New Release

Good morning friends.  We've got a lot going on today over at Pollycraft Designs.  Paula has a new release so be sure to stop by and check them out ... they're adorable!  And since it's Monday, we also have a new challenge over on the Pollycraft Challenge Blog.  Our sweet Paula has drawn a sketch for our challenge this week and you can find all the details here. 

I used one of the new releases, Barclay's Star.  Isn't he the cutest little squirrel?  And he was so much fun to color.  I tried to add some texture to his tail by using different colors ... not sure if it really worked but I kinda like the way he turned out :)  He's colored with copics and colored pencils and I used Glossy Accents on his nose and teeth.  I paper pieced the large star and applied some glitter paint to both stars.  A bit of ribbon and some buttons finished my card.  My sentiment is from the Friend Stamp Set by Precious Remembrance Shop.

Our challenge is being sponsored by Bunny Zoe's Crafts and the lucky winner will receive a voucher to their shop.  Please stop by the Pollycraft Challenge Blog to see the gorgeous work by the rest of the DT.

Spring Has Sprung

Good morning friends.  It's Monday so that means we have a new challenge for you over on the Pollycraft Challenge Blog.  This week our lovely Joey chose the theme and she chose "Spring Has Sprung".  Fabulous theme and I think we are all looking forward to the arrival of warmer weather, right?

I used this adorable Swings and Slides 2 - Little Sprout image.  She reminds me of my daughter when she was little with those adorable pigtails.  Anyway, this cutie patoodie was colored with copics and colored pencils and then I cut her out and nestled her in the grass.  I thought this dp with the kite in the sky would be perfect for this spring scene.  My "fence" is a Martha Stewart punch.

Our challenge is being sponsored by Crimson Cloud.  Please be sure to stop by the Pollycraft Challenge Blog to see what my amazing DT teamies have created this week.

Pollycraft's New Release

(**Please scroll down for my StampFairy post**)

Hello friends.  We have a fabulous new release over on the Pollycraft Blog.  

This sweetheart is Celeste Amberglow - Cupcake Party.  I think she's such a cutie and I love her outfit, especially that ruffled skirt.  She's colored with copics and colored pencils.  I applied Glamour Dust Ultra Fine Glitter paint to the cupcake frosting and Glossy Accents on the cherry.  The felt heart is from a package I picked up at the local Hobby Lobby store ... I seem to be using them alot lately so I hope you're not sick of seeing them lol!

A Sweet Little Mouse

Happy Monday friends.  We have a new challenge for you over at the Pollycraft Challenge Blog.  It's our sweet Arabella's turn to pick our theme and she has decided we should use the colors red, pink and cream.  Well, as it's almost Valentine's Day, I thought I would get one more card made for the occasion.

I used this adorable little Marley - Be Mine Mouse and colored him with copics and colored pencils.  Doesn't he have the sweetest little face?  I added a seam binding bow, a felt heart, and a couple of buttons.  And guess what ... NO sparkles!  Can you believe it?  It's been a very long time since I've made a card without Glamour Dust, glitter paint, or Stickles :)

Chill Out

Good morning friends.  We have a new challenge over on the Pollycraft Challenge Blog.  It was my turn to choose the theme and I decided on "Chill Out".  So you can make something related to winter or your interpretation of "chill out" might be something relaxing.  

I used Cuthbert Skiing for my frosty, winter card.  He's colored with copics and colored pencils and I added some Glossy Accents to his nose.  There's Glamour Dust on the hat and jacket, and I embossed the diecut circle with a snowflake embossing folder.

A Few of My Favorite Things

Good morning friends.  I hope you had a fabulous weekend?  It's Monday so that means we have a new challenge for you over on the Pollycraft Challenge Blog.  It is our lovely Lou's turn to pick our theme and she wants us to show some of our favorite things.  So easy, right?

Since one of my favorite things is snowmen I decided to use this adorable Swings and Slides Merry Christmas - Snow Buds image.  I colored this cute couple with copics and colored pencils.  I added some of my very favorite Glamour Dust for some sparkle.  I'm also very fond of snowflakes, pearls, and ribbon so those got tossed onto my card too :)  These are just a few of my favorite things.  If I added all of my favorites I would have to make my card about 12" x 12" just to hold them all lol!

Warm It Up

Hello all!  It's Monday so that means we have a fabulous new challenge for you over on the Pollycraft Challenge Blog.  It was our lovely Mary J's turn to select the theme and she has chosen Warm It Up (keep warm, warm/hot colors, anything that makes you feel warm).  

I used Sonny Honeycloud - Lifes a Beach for my warm it up card.  Oh how I wish I were somewhere nice & sunny so I could wear an outfit like hers lol!  I used copics and colored pencils and added some Glossy Accents to her sunglasses.  I applied some Glamour Dust Ultra Fine Glitter Paint to the sun to make it sparkle.  And since Sonny is all dressed up for the beach I thought this sentiment would be perfect for her.

I used this little fairy from the Pollycraft Swings & Slides Enchant and Explore Set.  Isn't she a cutie?  I colored this sweet fairy with copics and colored pencils and applied glitter paint to her wings.  I added some polka dots to her top with acrylic paint and finished my card with some ribbon and a sentiment.
