Happy Wednesday Everyone ! I'm back with a new card. Last night I had time to color in one of the super cute elves from Make it Crafty ! His name is Floppy and I think he is just stinkin' cute! It is so much fun coloring him and as usual I used my Copics. (colors used listed below). There was a time when I really disliked coloring with reds with my Copics but meanwhile I absolutely enjoy it and I like how it turned out. The DP is from Prima's North Country Collection. Sentiment is designed by Raindrop Echo Designs and available through Whimsy Stamps . I just used a little bit of Stickles on the flowers and some paper glaze on the bell from Floppy's hat. Leaf punch is from EK Success and the poinsettia is punched out using dies from Marianne Design. This card is a pre-order. Actually so far all my Christmas cards shown were pre-ordered. I have a few more to do and planning on using at least 2 more of the cute MiC elves for the orders :-) Thanks for

Hello all! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. Are you ready for our new Belles 'n Whistles challenge?  Ok then, here we go: Pins & Pearls ... is the theme this time! I am the host and I want to see pins (hat pins, trinket pins, corsage pins etc.) and pearls on your creation. That shouldn't be too difficult, right? ;-) And here is the card I made for the challenge: I used one of last years Snowbabies called 'Peek-a-Boo'   and colored her with Copics. The yummy DP is from Basic Grey's Nordic Holiday collection. I think it's so pretty, that's why I only used one layer DP to show it off. The trinket pin is handmade by me, I love making my own trinket pins! Sentiment is from Magnolia. I used Spellbinders to cut out my image and sentiment. Flowers are from my stash as is the ribbon. Pearls are from Kaiser Craft, Recollections and Making Memories. Snowflake punch is EK Success and leave punch is from Punch Bunch. Oh yes and there is

Hello and Happy Saturday my friends! Well actually I wanted to post this card Thursday already.... but things didn't go as expected this week so I'm late. This is one of my creations that was published in Whimsy's Inspirational Magazine Issue 2. The cute turtle image is illustrated by Crissy Armstrong and the stamp available at Whimsy and called 'Hang in there'. The sentiment die is from the bottle cap sentiments   by Raindrop Echo Designs and cut out with the bottle cap die . I colored using my Copics and Prisma pencils. DP is from Bo Bunny, Crate Paper and My Minds Eye. Dies and punches used are from MS, Whimsy (elegant flourishes die) , EK Success and Cheery Lynn.  Ok I keep it pretty short today lots of crafty errands on my list today ;-) I wish you all a fab weekend and thanks for taking the time and visiting me today!

Happy Thursday Friends! The card I made yesterday shows one of the new Make It Crafty Christmas digi's called 'Sweet Angel' . Awww isn't she sooooo super adorable?! One of the sweetest angels I've seen!  She was colored with Copics (BG 0000, 000, 01, 02 for the dress and bow, YR31, E50, Y28 Y11 for her hair) The DP I've used is from an older MME Christmas collection. I found one leftover 12x12 sheet in my drawer. The blue snowflake/ice crystals paper is from Primas North Country collection. You can barely see it it's almost completely covered by my embellies though. The large snowflake in the back is a Spellbinders die (I think it's called Snowflake Pendant, but I'm not sure) which I cut from light blue CS and sprinkled some German glass glitter on to give it a frosted effect. The sentiment is from Catslife Press. Crystal stem and ribbon slider are from Whimy's embellishments section. Flowers ribbon and the rest of the embellies are
