A Pink and Rosy Day!

I am having so much fun playing with the new La-La Land Crafts images, especially with Marci.  She is just the cutest and sweetest!  Owner Irina Blount and her partner-in-crime Eric have done such wonderful work creating the Marci and Luka images! :)

I made a card a few days ago and came upon a stumbling block so I left the card alone for a couple of days. The beautiful weather here in California has been so inspiring for me to create a cheery card.

Below is my card with Marci with Rose that I will be entering to La-La Land Crafts' Customer Gallery for this month, as well as for Cute Card Thursday's challenge - Anything Goes!

 Supplies:

Bazzil red and pink cardstock

Basic Grey designer paper

Hero Arts sentiment, stamped with Versa Color Orchid ink

Nestabilities petite oval and oval scallop die-cuts

Cuttlebug Spots and Dots embossing folder

Queen and Company red swirl ribbon

Marci with Rose colored with Copics:

E00, E01 - skin

E33, E35 - hair

R35, R37 - rose and Marci's lips

RV02, RV32, RV34 - dress and hat

Thanks for stopping by!

Hugs,

A Cheerful Card To Beat The Cold Blues...

My husband and I are home today with colds, while our daughter is out and about in daycare having a great time.  Ah why are kids so resilient to colds?

To beat the cold blues, I thought I would attempt to make a cheerful card.  With my stuffy head, it took awhile to come up with something, but I did and I love it!

The card I made is for the Chi Chi Memories sketch challenge.  The images are just too cute, who wouldn't have a smile on their face seeing them? :)

Below is the sketch and my card for the challenge:

Supplies:

Bazzil cardstock

DCWV designer paper (Nana's Kids)

Sentiment from DCWV

Queen and Company green border

The kids were cut with Nestabilities rectangle and rectangle scallop die-cuts and colored with the following Copics:

E00, E02, R20, E35, E37, YR02, B24, Y38, and W1

And now back to bed to beat the cold!

So thankful....

I have a lot to be thankful for. My health, my wonderful husband and daughter, my family and old and new friends have made my life fulfilling. The challenges I did for this week are around being thankful and I am not only thankful, but blessed.

Below are the challenges I did this week:

1) La-La Land Crafts - Entry should have a thankful/thank you theme. A wonderful collection of blog candy is up for grabs!

2) Magnolia-licious Highlites - Accessories Make the Card Blog Hop. Use any Magnolia accessory stamp ONLY, no Tilda, Edwin, animals, snowmen, etc.

Below is my entry:



I had a hard time picking out a Magnolia accessory stamp; there are so many cute stamps! I decided to go with the tree, which I love and went with a fall kind of theme.

The brown and red cardstock is from Core'dinations. The background paper is from The Paper Loft. I used the following Copic colors for the tree:

E07, YR23, YG63, and E57. Also used At You Spica pens red and gold.

The sentiment is from Inkadinkado's So Thankful stamp set, stamped with Memento's Potter's Clay ink. I used my Nestie small scallop circle for the sentiment. The red pearls on the sentiment are from my stash. The brown leaf felt ribbon is from Queen and Company with Hero Arts rhinestones. The green woven ribbon is from May Arts.

Thanks for stopping by! Have a wonderful and safe Thanksgiving!

It's A Wonder...

I am combining three challenges this week. All three definitely present a challenge - a fun one.

Below are the challenges I participated in:

1)La-La Land Crafts Wednesday Challenge - Ribbon!

2) Copic Colour Challenge - Below are the colors to use:



3) Penny Black Saturday Challenge - White On White: Entry to be all in white except for the PB image

Below is my entry:



Cardstock is Neenah's Classic Crest solar white, which I use pretty much all the time for stamping. I embossed the card with Cuttlebug's Stylized Flowers folder. The critter is from Penny Black's The Wonder collection. I used the challenge colors (replaced YG06 with YG63) plus E00 and the colorless blender. I used my Sakura glitter pen to color in the critter and the oval I cut using my Nestabillities petite oval template. The white felt swirl ribbon is from Queen and Company. The white pom-pom ribbon is from my stash.

Thanks for stopping by!
