Good morning!
I wanted to make a card for this week's Kraftin' Kimmie Saturday challenge using "fall colors". I know I have plenty of KK Halloween cuties still waiting to make it on a card but when I started to flip through my binder of KK stamps it wasn't a Halloween image that caught my eye. Instead I saw this Purrr-fect Princess all cozied up with her kitty and I was inspired to make them work for a fun Halloween card. Everything was going well, I was nearly done coloring them in dark fall colors when my E89 decided to misbehave and bloop out a big splotch of ink on the right side of the chair back. I was so frustrated and thought for sure I would have to abandon my original plan and fussy cut her out instead. Then my sister had a genius idea that I turn the splotch into the mouth of a ghost creepin' up behind her. Now I can't imagine the scene without him, LOL!
Alrighty, off to work I go... talk at'cha later! :)

Hi gals!
It's the last week before Halloween and I am in full spook mode. Today I am playing along in the Kraftin' Kimmie 'Halloween' challenge. Vampire Queen had been inked up and ready to get on a card for quite some time so I decided this was her year. Right away I knew that I wanted to pair her up with this great moon stamp from Altenew and then I came across this tombstone border stamp in my stash and the light bulb went off. How creepy, cool does this royal vampire look as she sashays her way through the cemetery? I know that I would most certainly want to avoid catching her gaze on a moonlit night... yipes! What a fun scene this was to create. :)
Well, time for me to scoot...
laters!

Good morning!
Today's lovely mermaid comes from Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps and she is part of the Sea Jewels set that unfortunately is now discontinued. I altered her just a bit by wiping the crown off her head. The little seahorses came from the Fin-tastic Friends set but I think they like their new home with Sea Jewel. I did a bit of watercolor "smooshing" for the background using three different Distress Inks, every time I do this fun technique I end up telling myself that I really need to do it more often, LOL! I added sequins for 'bubbles' and even though you can't see it in the photo there is a bunch of Wink of Stella glitter on her tail so that I can enter this card into the current Saturday challenge, "Glitter & Sequins". :)
Have a great week everybody!

I'm getting this card into the current Kraftin' Kimmie Saturday challenge just under the wire. I couldn't wait to get my hands on the new fairies that were released last month and once they arrived in my mailbox I just had to get one on a card. So when I saw that the challenge was to make a CAS card this was the perfect time to ink up Tea Cup Fairy. Since I knew the overall design was going to be on the simple side I could really go to town with my coloring of the china tea cup without the card getting too busy. My goal was to mimic the look of Delft Blue china and I gotta say that I'm pretty darn happy with the results. To keep the card bright and happy I chose to accent all that blue with some sunny yellow hues and this little doll seems to be right at home in her cozy cup world. :)
Have a great weekend everybody!

Olo!
Today I've got a card for this week's Kraftin' Kimmie Saturday challenge which is all about "Food". I had gotten this lovely Grace stamp during a sale earlier this year and I couldn't wait to get her on a card so this was the perfect challenge for me. I paired Grace up with a fun new paper pad called Hot Cocoa not only because of her tray of gingerbread cookies but because the gingerbread print just makes me smile. I also couldn't help but fussy cut the cute milk bottle and cookie plate from a scrap of Pebbles paper to add as embellishment for good measure.
Now I really should take a cue from Grace and go get started on some holiday baking of my own.
Later gators! :)

Hello, hello!
We finally got our first real snow fall over the past two days so it is looking like a winter wonderland around here. Not only that but a lot of the packages have started to arrive from all my Black Friday online shopping so I'm feeling like one of Santa's elves hiding them away in preparation for wrapping and gifting. I guess that's why I grabbed Toymaker Elf from Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps for my card today as he seems to be busy getting ready for the big day too. At first I just had him stamped on the cardstock with the sentiment beside him in black but as I started to put the card together I decided to re-stamp the sentiment on black to make it look like a chalk board hanging in the workshop. I drew a frame around it and stamped some pine boughs on top to really complete the look. The scene still needed something, so I grabbed the little doll accessory stamp that came with Charlotte and altered her a bit to be less creepy and more cutsie... perfect! And I'm going to go ahead and enter this in to the 'anything goes' Wednesday challenge on the KK blog.
Smooches!

Hi there!
Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps is hosting a Halloween challenge this week so of course I had to play along. The only hard part was deciding on a stamp to use because I still have a handful in my stash that haven't made it on a card yet. Ultimately I settled on Magical Mathilda because I could totally envision the scene she would live in. I wanted Mathilda to be practicing her magic in some stately manor room and the papers from the new Pebbles Boo collection were perfect for achieving that look. Doesn't that skull print look like some kind of spooky damask wallpaper? Love it. Of course I pulled all my Copic colors from the paper and I even grabbed a couple of fluorescent Copics which hardly ever get used but man did they create the most perfect mystical glow around her, I wish you could see this one in person.
Ok friends, I've got a busy day ahead of me so it's time to sign off. Laters! :)

TGIF everybody!
I'm back with another Halloween card because we are officially in that time of year now. I decided to play along in the Kraftin' Kimmie Saturday challenge to use circles and even though in the end I only ended up using half a circle I'm hoping that it still counts. I also wanted to combine a new stamp with an older one so I grabbed Wicked Witch and put her with the cute pumpkin carving witch from the My Best Friends are Witches set (it must be sold out now 'cause I can't find it in the store to link). With just a bit of masking and a tiny alteration to Wicked's eyes so that she was looking down at her protege, I had a fab Halloween scene to color up. With Wicked's silver hair I can just picture her instructing this young witchypoo on the fine art of pumpkin carving among many other magical happenings. :)
Ok, I'm off for another fun Friday full of coloring.
Later gators!

TGIF my friends!
I'm rounding out this week's posts with a final card for the Kraftin Kimmie Koffee Krop challenges. Challenge number #3 is 'monochromatic' and as you can see I got a bit carried away with that, LOL! Since I had recently done a sepia toned image I figured this was a great excuse to do some black and white coloring and what better kind of stamp to use with that treatment than a Halloween image? Yep, that's right, mid September and I've officially made my first Halloween card of the year. I was trying to hold out longer but I have so much fun with them that I couldn't help myself. So I inked up Voodoo Lady because she looks muy misterioso, grabbed my whole range of Neutral Grey Copics and just went to town. By the time I was done I realized that I wouldn't need any pattern paper so this is almost another single layer card, go me! All I added for embellishment was a bit of washi tape and some brads. Oh and the magic dust she is sprinkling along with the spooky mist are actually quite sparkly in person... just couldn't pick it up with the camera.
Alrighty time for me to get this day started. Have fun and I will see y'all Monday! :)

Hello, hello!
Ok, I couldn't stop myself from entering more than one of the Kraftin' Kimmie Koffee Krop challenges so here is my second KK card for the week. I made this one for challenge #2 '1:1:1- one sentiment, one image, one layer'. This one was truly a challenge because I don't do single layer cards very often. Even on my CAS cards I'm always wanting to add bits and layers of paper here and there so this took some real restraint on my part, LOL! For my one image I chose Willow because I think she is just fabulous and I have neglected her for far too long. Then I knew that I would want a sentiment that balanced Willow nicely and added impact of its own to this simple design. Luckily I had recently gotten the Spooktacular sentiment set from KK and this one was perfect. And for my one layer I went back to the CC Designs Copic Quality ivory cardstock to keep the whole card nice and warm and fallish looking. All in all I couldn't be happier with how this card came together... even if my fingers are still twitching a bit to glue on some paper! ;)
Have a good one and I shall see ya tomorrow with one last KK card. :)

Hey there!
I'm keeping things cozy once again though this time I'm jumping in to play over at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps. Yesterday I went to check out what their newest Saturday challenge was and instead I found a whole slew of challenges that they have going on this week for their Koffee Krop. So I'm starting with challenge #1 'paper piecing'. As soon as I saw what the challenge was I knew just the stamp that I wanted to use... this sweet pair of napping buddies from the Feathers and Friends set. That blanket was just begging to be paper pieced with a pretty print don't you think? I decided to go with a CAS design for the rest of the card and I really like how soft and serene it turned out.
Okey doke, time for me to scoot. Later gators! :)

Olo!
So I promised another mermaid card but this time I went with a Kraftin Kimmie image so that I could play along in this week's 'anything goes' challenge. I recently got the Under the Sea set when it was on sale and it was all for this sweet stamp. I adore how the little girl and mermaid are reaching for each other and that each of them have a tiny animal pal to keep them company... tugs at my heart strings. :)
With so much going on in the scene I stuck with a very CAS card design. All I needed was a thin strip of cloud paper up top, a small sentiment and a sprinkle of sequins to pull it all together. Yep, this one really speaks to me... all those summers growing up, wishing for something exactly like this to happen.
OK, gotta jet. Have a good one!

Good morning!
I'm playing along in the current Saturday challenge over at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps which is all about the "beach". I'd gotten Sassy Sprite Rayne during a Frugal Friday sale with the intention of altering her from a fairy in the water to a mermaid, cause it made more sense to me since water-logged wings would be a very bad thing. I just love how Rayne's ponytail transitions into a spray of water mimicking the wave she is leaping out of. I found this old sunburst paper in my stash which set the beachy tone that I needed for the challenge. And while I'm at it, I think I'll also enter this into the Krafty Friends Summer Stamping Party. Why not, LOL! ;)
OK, I'm outta here. Have a good one!

Olo!
I was lucky enough to win a Kraftin' Kimmie challenge just in time to use my resulting gift certificate on the brand new mermaid set called Fin-tastic Friends and when it arrived in the mail a couple days ago I just had to get this gal on a card ASAP. I LOVE how relaxed and chill she looks and imagined that if mermaids had a tropical resort to hang out at she would be there running the place, LOL!
This resort would be 5-star ritzy I tell ya, so of course she needed a luxe gold tail to feel right at home. And I colored her hair to match the rosy sunset sky behind her... perhaps it is camouflage to blend in with her surroundings. ;)
Anywho, the current KK challenge is to 'try something new', which includes using a new stamp, and since they don't get much newer than this little lady I'm entering my card into the running. :)
Toodles!

Hey, hey!
I've got a really fun card to share today that I made for the latest Kraftin Kimmie Saturday challenge which is 'anything goes'. I had colored up this enchanting mermaid from the Sea Jewels set on Saturday just so I could be ahead of the game later in the week. There was no paper pulled and no design plan, I just colored and fussy cut her out. Then the mail came and in it was the new Fintastic Friends set from Lawn Fawn. I had gotten it more for the fish and sentiments than anything else but as I was looking the set over the tank looked big enough to fit my little Sea Jewel into quite comfortably... thus an idea was born.
So I stamped the tank once on blue vellum (wiping away the sand and inner tank lines), twice on clear vellum and once on Copic X-Press it. I colored and cut out the sand and tank bottom, glued it onto one of the clear vellum tanks then sat the mermaid inside. Next I cut out the blue vellum water and just the top of the tank above the waves and ran them through my dusty xyron sticker maker (that was shocked at finally being used) because I didn't want any adhesive to show through the vellum and I needed a lot of stick. Then all I had to do was peel and stick those pieces right over Sea Jewel to make it look like she was resting inside the tank. I couldn't resist adding the fish food jar, and one I altered a bit to look like it was open, because it was just too funny. All in all this card was a lot of fun to make and it totally makes me smile. :)
Ok, gotta jet... laters!

Hello, hello!
As I mentioned on Friday, I've decided to do something a bit different this month and have all of the stamps I use follow a specific theme. So June is going to be the month of mermaids on the ol' Thousand Sheets blog! I realized recently that I have mermaid stamps from all but one of my favorite stamp companies and this will be a fantastic way to get more of them on to cards this summer.
Because I want to play along in this week's Kraftin Kimmie challenge to 'distress it' my KK mermaids were the first up to kick off this whole wet and wild month. I hadn't inked up any of the beauties from the Sea Jewels set yet so that was the first place I looked and funnily enough I kind of got side tracked into doing an altered mermaid instead. But when I saw Arielle swinging on her swing I couldn't help but think she would make for a pretty awesome mermaid herself. So I only inked her to her waist and wiped away her halter top and the strings in her hands, then stamped Arielle onto Copic X-Press It. I then borrowed the tail from one of the Sea Jewels and stamped it onto a separate scrap of cardstock. Once I had drawn in a stylish new seashell top all I had to do was color and then glue the two halves together. Voila... Arielle the mermaid, LOL! ;)
I used a Tim Holtz edge distressor to rough up the edges of that background paper and did a bit of paper tearing on the sentiment strip to fit the challenge. Then I found this great sentiment that is actually part of a different kind of star set from Hero Arts but it got my creative juices flowing even faster. I had needed something for Arielle to hold on to since her hands that had once been hanging on to a swing where now just raised randomly in the air and how perfect would it be to give her a few starfish to match that sentiment? I gotta say, I kinda love how this all came together.
Ok, time for me to get this day going. So much to do, so much to do.
Thanks for stopping by! :)

Good morning!
I recently got the Feathers and Fur set from Kraftin Kimmie Stamps during a Frugal Friday special, mostly for the images with the cat and dog. So imagine my surprise when the first one making it on to a card is the little gal who had a parrot on her head. I didn't want the parrot as part of my card design though so I did a bit of altering to wipe the bird's feet off her head and the biscuit out of her hand then just drew in the missing line and some new waving fingers. With some fussy cutting she is now a generically pretty little summertime beauty. I paired her up with these bright Sunny Day papers by Pebbles and pulled all of the happy colors that I used in the rest of the card from them. I even branched out from my usual black sentiment ink and went for some orange and yellow... whoa! ;)
And I'm entering this card into the 'anything goes' challenge that is currently running.
TTYL! :)

Today I am playing along in the Kraftin' Kimmie 'Pretty in Pink' challenge and I chose to ink up the lovely Tatiana stamp for it. Right off the bat I knew that her fabulous hair had to be the pink I used for the challenge and it couldn't be any soft pastel pink either. No, Tatiana looks like a gal with attitude to spare so she needed a bright and bold shade of pink hair to match. I did a bit of altering by simply gluing some small flowers over the mirror that she is originally holding because I figured a bouquet of flowers fit the theme of the card better.
The paper is actually just one sheet, with the bold black and white stripes on one side and the bright floral print on the opposite side. Once I settled on using both this card really came to life. It had me giving Tatiana a black leather corset and choker which I think really gives her a cool, edgy look. And the die cut frame was just what I needed to help her stand out from that busy background. :)
Well, that's all I've got for the day... talk at'cha later!

Good morning!
I've got a bright sunshiny card for a bright sunshiny day. This gorgeous fairy is Melaina from Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps and I just love her heaping pile of hair. I knew she would be a blast to color and I actually jumped right in and started coloring her bright yellow hair before even picking out paper to pair up with her. Luckily I found this great Basic Grey print in my scrap bag that matched her hair perfectly and inspired me to give her a lovely green gown too. Melaina is such a show stopper that I kept the embellishments to a minimum but made sure that there was a bit of twine so that I could enter this card into this week's Kraftin' Kimmie Twine challenge. :)
Ok, time for me to get ready for work.
Laters!

TGIF my friends!
I've got the day off today and it is shaping up to be a gorgeous weekend here. Temps in the low 80s and the apple blossoms are blooming... I can't wait to get out there and soak it all in. It's even getting to the time of year when I can start thinking about all the flower pots around the house and what to plant. I think that is why I pulled out Mary, Mary Quite Contrary to ink up for this card I made for the 'Anything Goes' Kraftin' Kimmie challenge. Not that I personally get that decked out while diggin' in the dirt but she sure looks prim and pretty, LOL! For some reason Mary's dress looks more purple than pink in this pic but in real life it matches the light pink stripes in the background. I even used my Copics to color the edges of the little die cut butterflies so they matched the stripe paper as well.
Alrighty, I'm off for a quick walk with the pupper.
See ya Monday! :)
