Roberto's Kisses.

Happy Hump Day, peeps!!

It's time for C.C. Designs' preview of their new releases this month! Today, it's all about those Roberto's Rascals. This cute and hilarious stamp is called Roberto's Kisses, and it'll be available come October 2nd!



I just love love love this stamp. It's so adorable, and that cat's facial expression says it all, LOL!!!



I have not yet bought any new Christmas papers... these are all from the previous years. I've compiled my Holiday papers and stickers into one box, and it's so helpful picking out what I want and a good way to use up those scraps!

Anyway, I hope you visit the CCD blog to look at more stamps and creations!!

See you later, alligator!

Vampire Henry.

Happy Hump Day, folks!!

It's time for a review on the newest Roberto Rascal stamps over at C.C. Designs! If you haven't guessed it from my last CCD post, August is all about Halloween!

Today, I'm featuring Vampire Henry. Instead of making him look like a boy dressing up for Halloween, I thought I'd show him as a real Vampire (go all out, I say). He's complete with the ashen face and velvet clothes (it's super hard to make your coloring look like velvet :)). And I've paired him up with "Victorian" looking papers!

I was super bummed that I didn't get to photograph him with natural light. I really dislike taking pics of my cards with flash, I feel like the card looks more washed out. But I couldn't risk not getting my card in on time so hope you bear with me!!

Please be sure to visit the awesome DT creations over on the CCD blog... lots and lots of spooky inspiration!!

Toodles,

Summer at the Beach Boardwalk.

Helloooooo Manic Monday!! (I wish it was Sunday)...

Although, it isn't that for me as I worked all weekend! Today is actually a "Saturday" for me! Hee hee :).

So, let's talk about the favorite patterned paper you hoard! For me, past faves have been Love, Elsie and anything Dear Lizzy. One of my most cherished one is Allison Kreft's line Everyday Eclectic. She used to design for the Bay Area- based company, Hambly, and this line was inspired by the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk!

When I saw Summer Henry, I immediately thought of this line! He's part of the new Roberto's Rascals release over at C.C. Designs .. go check them all out!



Kept it pretty simple as the scenes speak for themselves! Hoping to visit the beach and boardwalk a lot this Summer!



Have a fab day!

Roberto's Rascals are having a party!

Hello, hello, hello!!

And welcome to Day Two of the April previews at C.C. Designs! Today, it's all about Roberto's Rascals. They are just the cutest kiddie images!

I'm featuring two today, in one card. This is Cupcake Henry and Cupcake Nancy...oh, aren't they so oh-so-cute?! I just love love love them!



Again, I used Cake Walk from October Afternoon and went for a more vintage vibe with this card. Doesn't it look like a cozy, l'il party?? :)

See you here tomorrow, same time, same place!

Preview Day 2 at C.C. Designs.

Hi all!!

Today is Day 2 for the previews over at C.C. Designs' March releases. It's all about the new Roberto's Rascals. I've combined two of them -- Henry with Chick and Henry's Bunny -- into one card. Since I have two sons, I thought this would be their card for Easter :).



They're such fun images to color, and I love how sweet their demeanors are. My tater tots love animals so I know they'll just adore this!

When I was coloring, I found that there was a lot of negative space in between them. Thought this would be a great opportunity for a scenic card (which I enjoy making!). I applied some metallic rub-ons against the edges of a cut-up cloud to create the sky. To continue with the sky/ cloud theme, I layered two Hambly overlays against kraft cardstock. I'm really swooning over the effect of this, and besides the two stamps, it's my favorite part of the card!

I continued to extend the grass as well by using fringe scissors by Martha Stewart on green patterned paper.

Hope you all enjoyed my card! Looking forward to Easter now!!

Toodles,
