Hi guys!
I was very busy meeting a deadline yesterday so I didn't have time to make a card. Instead I'm sharing a non- coloring card that I've had done for awhile. Lots of different dies going on here and all coming together to create a simple masculine birthday card. I even used that paper doll border on a scrap of denim for a bit of added texture. It turned out to be a total PITA but the end result looks kinda cool. ;)
Oh and that deadline I mentioned... designs for upcoming SN Halloween stamps. Eee! I can't wait for you to see what is in store! :)
Toodles!

stamp- Hero Arts (sentiment)
ink- Memento tuxedo black and Colorbox creamy brown
Spellbinders pinked circle die

My Favorite Things Boy Paper Doll border die

Good morning!
We are getting closer and closer to the big Memorial Day weekend and if the weather doesn't clear up around here we are going to have a bunch of grumpy tourists in town. Not fun. So I'm hoping the rain clears and the sun is out again by the time they all start rolling into town tomorrow afternoon.
For my card today I grabbed the Shy Mae digi that I had printed out already and just put together a really quick and easy card. The papers are actually little Project Life cards that already come in a 3x4 size so the only cutting I did was to get that red strip off one. Otherwise it was a simple layer, layer done. OK, maybe there is a bit more to it than that but not much, LOL!
As I was searching for a sentiment, this cheeky slang "Sup?" caught my eye and it got me looking at Mae not so much as a shy girl but as a bit of a flirt instead. Yep, I definitely think she's got her eye on someone special. ;)
Well, I guess I should go do my hair and make-up.
TTYL!

Olo!
Today I'm playing along in the TGF Farm Fresh Friday challenge, and this week it is to do a bit of paper piecing on your card. I wanted to cross another stamp off my 'waiting to be inked' list and I found Sitting Wonderful Anya who has been neglected for quite some time. Which is a shame since she is pretty darn cute with her sassy short hair and that fabulous bow. And it was actually that bow that sold me on her for this challenge because I thought it would look great with a bit of pattern to it. It wasn't until I was stamping Anya up that and realized she needed her chair and that I could also have fun paper piecing it as well.
I ended up using some Lily Bee papers again because they have teeny tiny repetitive prints that are fantastic for piecing. I actually kind of want an over-stuffed grey floral chair now, LOL!
Anywho, the weather here has turned a bit stormy and cool so I should go find something warm to face the day in.
Laters!

Mornin' friends!
So I was checking out the new digi stamp May release over at Pee Wee Designs and was immediately captivated by little Bashful Betty here. I know that she is meant to be kinda shy looking but I saw her as giving a big thumbs up and I had just the kid quote sentiment stamp to go with her. It's a match made in heaven if you ask me! ;)
It's been a while since I've inked up one of my kid quote stamps, mostly because the style of them doesn't work with just any character stamp. I tend to pair them up with younger, more child like images and these Pee Wees definitely fit the bill. The rest of the card is pretty CAS really, the paper was busy enough with all the colors and patterns going on that I didn't want to compete with all that.
Oh and while I was checking out the Pee Wee Designs May release I found something pretty darn cool. There is a free digi stamp right now called Cutie Patootie that you won't want to miss out on 'cause she's pretty darn adorable!
Alrighty, another day... another dollar.
See ya in 24. :)

Hi guys!
Sorry to have been MIA this weekend, I was just having too much fun and not getting home early enough to do any crafting. It wasn't an intentional break but I feel rejuvenated none the less. :)
My card for today actually started with the papers first rather than my usual process of stamp first. But I had been dying to get my hands on the Sweet Shoppe papers because mix of bright colors with the black really caught my eye. Plus I'm kind of a sucker for strawberries. At first I pulled out my Pure Innocence binder of stamps to look for a strawberry specific image but the Cute as a Button girlie got my attention instead. Right away I could see that jar in her hand filled with delicious strawberry jam. And it was really easy to cut away the original button in her other hand and replace it with a berry that I fussy cut from the paper.
Mmmm... I'm kinda craving jam and toast now, LOL!
OK, it's back to work for me but I'll see y'all again tomorrow... I promise! :)
TTFN!

Hello my friends!
Can you believe that I started making this card a whole year ago?! Apparently it had been forgotten in a small stack of doilies until I recently unearthed it... oy! I actually remember coloring Mermaid Lucy in the hospital the first or second week that my mom got sick. She was for last June's release reviews but amidst all that was going on Lucy kinda got lost in the shuffle. The papers are all American Crafts Shoreline that also came out last summer and I even had them all cut out and glued in place. All I really had to do to finish the card yesterday was add the gems and the little seagull silhouettes that I just cut out by hand.
I feel bad that it has taken this long for Mermaid Lucy to finally get her day in the sun but I suppose the old adage, better late than never, really does apply here. Perhaps I'll consider it a really late review preview, LOL! :)
Alrighty, TGIF to everyone... hope your weekend is wonderful!

Hello again!
As promised yesterday, I played around and did the Bean alteration idea that was on my mind. Instead of using Shimmer Bean again I inked up Shiny Bean for the first time and have transformed her into... Sea Bean! Is darling as the Beans are as fairies, I really wanted to see one test the waters with a shimmery tail. It was as easy as wiping away her legs and wings before stamping and then printing out a scaled down Mer Ian digi so that I could swap out his tail and glue it onto my Shiny Sea Bean. I really had a blast putting her together and she needed a special card to call home.
The Farm Fresh Friday challenge is a 1-2-3 recipe to use 1 image, 2 embellishments, and 3 patterned papers. So I dug into my scraps until I found a fun mix to set the scene and used twine and my go-to gems for the two types of embellishments. I think Shiny Sea Bean with her ombre hair is having a wonderful time swimming with all those fishy friends. :)
Okey dokey, time for me to scoot my boot.
Later gators!
