Swiss Pixie Nora

Two rainy days and no outside playtime does not make for fun days at the PreK! I needed to stamp today!LOL!! I had this image already colored for the Copic Creations red hair challenge and when I saw the sketch for today I knew I had to make a card. Thanks Rox and Dawn for a great sketch. I love the colors in the MME Christmas dp and while Im waiting on it to get to me I decided to play with this SU dp from last year. BTW the sponging around the image was supposed to be bashful blue but I think I picked up the sage shadow dauber! Oopss but I wasnt going to trash it so just pretend its bashful blue!LOL!

Angela thanks for the email about the hair colors!

Paper: white, tangerine tango, choc chip, SU dp from last year
Ink: bashful blue ink (or at least it was supposed to be!), copics

Heidi Ornament

Have I ever said I hate Mondays before?!?! My Monday was actually going pretty good until I got to my car this afternoon only to find I had a flat tire! So there went my plans to go to Lowes today and get the light I need to take my pics so here I am with another pic with yucky lighting but I finally made a card and wanted to post it yucky lighting and all. Yall know I love me some Swiss Pixies so when All that scraps release 3 different Swiss Pixies last week I had to have them all!! I went on a shopping trip with Mama over the weekend and came across this dp from Paper Studio and thought it would be perfect with this image OH and that MS punch just ended up in my buggy too! Dont know how that happened!LOL!! I colored the image using copics using the colors from the dp and used added diamond stickles to her wings. I also added crystal effects to the ornament and it came out in a big glob so some of her hand is covered. Oh and a little piece of advice...dont add crystal effects before you cut and emboss with nesties! Thankfully you cant see it very good but it made an indention in my image for some reason!

Bundled Up Mike

This is another one of those cards Im just not sure about!! When I saw the Color Throwdown colors this past week I thought they would make a fun winter card for polar animals! So I went looking through my animals and found Bundled Up Mike from Whipper Snapper. I colored him using the colors from the challenge and added some sponging around this edges of the circle with Versamagic wheat chalk ink. I also added some stardust stickles to the image for some sparkle. I also went over his nose with the Sakura clear glaze pen to make it a little shiny. I used up some scraps of cs and dp to finish up my card and played around with them until I found a layout I thought would work. Now yall know me and layouts but I didnt use a sketch on this one! Yayy me! I added a Joanne buttony bow to finish off my card. I cant really put my finger on why Im not lovin this card but maybe it will grow on me!LOL!

Fresh Snowfall

While my kids were cleaning their room today so they could go trick or treating I threw a card together. I used Jens sfytt for my layout. LOVE this sketch so you will probably see it again this week! I was going through some of my dp and pulling out some old Christmas dp to use and came across this SU parisan breeze (I think!) and thought it would work for Christmas too. I colored (with copics) up this fun Whipper Snapper snowman called Fresh Snowfall to match the dp. I actually got a second card made I will share with you tommorrow. Yes it takes my kids THAT long to clean their room!LOL!! Poor Alana cleaned her room and then got sick 15 minutes into us trick or treating. So I had to bring her home and Daddy had to take the other 2. Hope you had a happy Halloween!

Bettys Turkey Ride

I love having images colored up so I can actually post something to share with you! Today Im sharing a card with you I made for Mercys Tuesday sketch challenge. I love doing sketch challenges and Mercy always has a great sketch! I dont usually make Thanksgiving cards but when I saw this adorable image from Pink Cat studio I had to have her...along w/several others!!LOL! I paired her *again* with the Recollections dp from Michaels. I promise this is the last card for awhile using this dp!LOL! I colored Betty using copics and added some shadows using prismacolor pencils. Im really liking the slate gray for shadows with this dp! Mercys sketch had a layer for borders so I thought this MS zig zag border would work since it matches her hat!

Jolly by Golly Vivi

I colored up this Vivi elf image over the weekend at Mamas I used the colors from the cosmo cricket dp. We had a great time and I got a few images colored up! Last night I sat down and tried to make a card using the Anyone for Anya sketch and it just didnt happen. I couldnt get my card they way I wanted so when I saw todays sketch challenge on SCS I decided to give it a try with the dp and image I wanted to use. Thankfully it came together so easily! Love when it happens like that! I think she looks so cute and fun paired with this dp!

I am so tired today! We had a field trip to the Pumpkin Patch at the Prek and it was a LOOONNGGG day!LOL!

Itty Bitty Bettys Turkey Day

Sorry for the dark photo!! Im not going to like the time change! By the time I finished my card today it was already dark and I still dont have my other photo light since Ive been taking my pics outside.

For todays or I guess I should say tonights card I used this adorable Bitty Betty image. Shes wanting everyone to have a Happy Turkey Day! I paired her with my fave fall paper Recollections from Michaels. I cant wait to see their Christmas paper since I enjoyed using this fall paper so much! I used Julees Mojo sketch and as I was linking it I realized I left off a layer so we'll just pretend the ribbon is that layer!LOL! Hey its Monday and I work with 4 yr olds all day! What do you expect my brains to be like when I get home!LOL! Ive defintely jumped on the digi image train. I love being able to resize them and of course having them right then. Patience is something I was never blessed with!
