Another Dearie Doll Christmas Card

Happy Wednesday!  Popping in for a quick hello and to show you another Dearie Doll Christmas Card (I just cannot get enough of these sweet images).  The image is from the Dearie Doll Paper Doll Series.  I used the paper doll (with her legs swapped with an image that had a smaller shoe) and her Christmas outfit.  Doesn't she look ready for a Christmas party?

Have a wonderful rest of your week, and I'll see you on Friday!

Happy Tuesday!  How is everyone?  Enjoying some crafty time?  This week we're in the midst of a tropical wave weather pattern, which translated means RAIN!  Thankfully it is not the gully washer rain that Colorado and other places to the West are experiencing, but more of an on and off type.  It makes going to the pool or beach rather iffy, but is great for settling in for some crafting!  At this very moment I'm watching the rain and listening to the thunder roll.  Don't mind the rain a bit when I'm warm and dry inside, and spending time card making.  Speaking of card making...I couldn't wait to show you this little sweetie, Poinsettia Girl, from Dearie Dolls!  She was a dream to color as a mini Mrs. Clause with her red outfit and black gloves and shoes.

Hope you all have a creative week!  See you on Friday!

Valentine Sweetie #2

TGIF!  And Happy 1st of February!  Gosh, has time flown by!  One month down already in 2013.  Today's card features another Dearie Dolls image (I promise I'll have some other images for you next week).  She's part of a boy girl set, but I cropped the boy out.  For the card layout, I used There She Goes Clear Stamps Sketch #191. 

Signing out until Monday!  Have a fun filled weekend!

Valentine Girl

As promised yesterday, here's another image by Dearie Dolls...Valentine Girl.  On this card I actually colored in the background!  If I color a background to an image, it's usually with chalk, but today I used my Copics.  Big scary moment!  In the past, when I've attempted to color a background with Copics, I've had a streaky mess.  But with the space being small, I decided to go for it and see what happens.  I'm so happy!  No streaky mess this time!

Valentine Sweetie

How's this for a sweet cupid?  This image is Valentine Sweetie by Mary Ellen of Dearie Dolls.  I'm having a blast coloring these adorable images of hers.  In fact, you'll be seeing them on cards the rest of the week!  I really like the sweet innocent feel to these images...so perfect for cards for friends young and old.  The Deconstructed Sketch #83 provided the design layout.  My bow turned out a little wonky, but I kinda like the look on this card.

Dearie Dolls Valentine

For awhile now I've admired the images drawn by Mary Ellen of Dearie Dolls.  Mary Ellen's blog is full of adorable boys, girls, and critters!  And they are all FREE!  If you haven't already made a trip to her blog, you really should...especially as she's running out of space and may be deleting past images soon.  This little cutie is titled Valentine Chocolate Girl.  She's a girl after my own heart with that yummy box of chocolates.  I have three favorite chocolate shops (I know, that seems like quite a few, but they are all so different!):  Norman Love Confections located here in SW Florida, Ethel M Chocolates located in Las Vegas, and Woodhouse Chocolates located in Napa Valley.  Ladies if you want some delicious chocolates for Valentine's Day, send the links to your hubbies.  You cannot go wrong with any of the three!

Oh!  Btw, the divine crocheted flower is from the talented Amy Young!  Don't you just love it?  Thank you Amy!

The card design layout is based on the Mojo Monday sketch #270.  I rotated the design a quarter turn to the left.
