October Review over at CCD!

Hi peeps!

I've got not one, not two....but THREE cards for you today! It's time for a review on the October Releases of C.C. Designs!

First is Rodney's Ride. Isn't he the cutest? Love him and his quirkiness! I paired him up with the equally cute and quirky line of Love, Elsie! Boy, was I hoarding this Christmas line! I think it's from 2006.



Because of the colors of the patterned paper, I chose this whimsical and colorful tree sticker by Jolee's as well!



What a fun Holiday so far, eh??

Next is the Bird image from the Vintage Winter stamp (you get three images!). What a darling birdie! I wanted this card to look a bit more classic so I used traditional Poinsetta stickers and papers. And of course, that gold embossed card stock too!





Then, last, but not least is the Holiday Penguins!



I can't get over how adorable they are!! Too cute!!



Have a great day! And remember to check out the store and the rest of the DT!

Toot-a-loo!!

Pollycraft Russell.

Hi everyone!!

Here's a card featuring a review on the September release of Pollycraft Russell over at C.C. Designs!

Isn't he cute? Reminds me so much of my boys!





Decided to go really simple this week. I've been getting inspired by the CAS cards on IG!

And the sentiment is by Suzy Plantamura - love her sentiment designs!

Have a great Hump Day!!

Honey and Latte Sue.

Hi there!!

Today, I'm doing reviews on two Roberto's Amigas stamps over at C.C. Designs: Honey and Latte Sue.





I personally love how these images look like they're in the 30s, don't you? They reflect my age and a whole lot of crafters out there, hee hee hee!
The cards are done up in Fall colors. I've been doing that a lot lately. Wishful thinking, I guess. It's still in the '80s here in California. I wish it'd turn a bit cooler already :).

See you folks!!

Autumn's Mum.

Happy Hump Day, folks!

Today, my post is all about the review on the September releases of C.C. Designs (one of them anyway). Here's Swiss Pixie Autumn's Mum. Ironically, she's all about Fall, but all of the papers (except for the two cardstocks) are from Inspire Lovely's Summer Love kit that I got from Debee's Etsy.



I think the kit is pretty versatile, and so is this stamp!

See you all soon!

PollyCraft's August Review.

Hello, hello, hello!

C.C. Designs is having a review today of its August Pollycraft Stamps releases, and I've got two of those sweet images to show ya today!!

First, it's Frankie's turn, and she's brought along some friends!



Her hair was just so fun to color! I paired her up with my favorite sticker company -- Jolee's. These were such wonderful banner stickers that at first I didn't want to use them!



Next, it's Pollycraft's Bones at the spotlight. I didn't do much shading with my Copics with him -- I just did black (#100) and outlined the bones. But it wasn't easy though ... I had to use a steady hand for his ribs :).



Michael's didn't have a lot of Halloween paper out yet, so I just piled on the stickers again. The banners were from Jolee's, and the pumpkins and skulls were from an old stash.



Thanks for visiting!!

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,

Witches Away!

Happy Hump Day, folks!!



Today, C.C. Designs is having a review of its August releases. Here's the Meoples Witches Away. Love the Meoples. They're so simply drawn and so quirky... I've forgotten how much I liked them!



It was quite hard getting in the mood for Halloween in August. But when I went into Michael's, I noticed right away that they've put out a lot of Halloween stuff already! Well... better too early than too late, am I right??

I really enjoy making scenic cards for Halloween :).

Have a wonderful day and see you soon!

Pollycraft's Brains.

Happy Hump Day, folks!!

This card was inspired by my oldest tater tot who'll be going to Kindergarten in the Fall. Sniff.

It features Pollycraft's Brains from C.C. Designs! Today is review day for the July Pollycraft release so I hope you can visit the CCD blog and look at all the new products and cards by my fellow DT members!

Have a great rest of the week!

First Day of School.

Hello, hello, hello!! C.C. Designs has got these awesome new July releases and I am doing a review on Roberto's Rascal's Sk8tr Henry

My youngest son just started pre-school and he served inspiration for this card. He is quite the more reckless one of my two kids (hehe, see the skateboard?).



I don't know about you but the scrapbooker in me makes me the type of parent who takes lots of pictures during special events (& also during some mundane, daily stuff).

Of course, we had lots of photos by the door with his new Planes backpack and a cute outfit. Now, I just gotta make sure I actually sit down, scrapbook, and document that moment. Ahhh, sometimes I'm so caught up with all my card-making that I don't pay attention to my scrapbooking :(.

My craft mojo had been down but I was able to make four cards in two days...hurrah!! Hopefully, it continues! Woot woo!!

Stay tuned for another card tonight!

Nipper!

Hello, peeps!

A quick post on our Pollycraft Review over at C.C. Designs. Here's Nipper on a fun scenic card!



I don't know about you but I've gone crabbing! It's so much fun! We fished for them at a pier using hotdogs! Who knew that would work! The fun stickers are from Jolee's Boutique and the vintage papers are from October Afternoon!

Have a wonderful day!!

Swingin'

Hello all! Long time, no see!

If you've seen my mojo, could you let her know to come back??

Aside from my commitment to my DT, I haven't done much crafting. And I'm lacking inspiration. Haven't been feeling too good so that's that too.

Anyway, today, I'm reviewing the May release of the Roberto's Rascal's Swingin' over at C.C. Designs.

The bottom child is actually a girl, but I've colored her up to look like a boy. I've got two sons afterall... and I told my hubby to use this card for my Mother's Day card. No shame in my game. I'd rather receive and keep a card I made than a store-bought one.



See you all soon (I hope!),
