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!

Good Morning, Sue!

Hello!

Am still on a clean and simple kick (well, at least CAS for me :)), so the card I'm showing you today is pretty single-layered. Here's Good Morning Sue's preview from C.C. Design's Roberto's Amigas. Isn't she so much fun?? She makes me laugh!! She and the other Roberto's Rascals / Amigas will be available this Thursday, July 3 at 12 PM EST.



Sue is totally funny because she's so realistic and relatable! Don't we all look like this in the morning?

I wanted a scenic card so I found these Love, Elsie frames in my stash. I tend to go for what is easy and fast (hey, working mama of two over here! LOL) so I just stuck these cute Kawaii post-its of these Hawaiian girls -- they were the perfect size!

I also love that wood washi tape! It seems like real wood! I forgot where I got it from -- Studio calico maybe??

And I love her pajamas. Was trying to get them to look silky, hahaha!

Enjoy today, folks!!

Morning, folks!

I had made this card for my niece a couple of weeks ago and wanted to share it.

Isn't it cute? It's my first time using one of the 'bigger' Anyas, and she was fun to color! I especially love Anya Strolls'(from The Greeting Farm) outfit, hair, and little doggie (which looks like my niece's dog, too!).




Haven't made a scenic card in a while, so I decided to make one here. She's walking her pup in the park (haha!). Hope you all have a great day! See you in a bit!

Love,

Beach Girlie.

Just a quick post to show you another July Release over at Time for Tea Designs! I just can't get enought of Jo's Summer images, and this one's no exception! Beach Girl's got some nice wind-blown hair, relaxed pose, and pensive expression. Perfect for a vacay scene, don't ya think??

I'll be back with a couple of posts tomorrow. And I promise, there's still a big CHA-themed one coming up ...maybe early next week??

Hugs!

Dance Like No One is Watching.

Hello, blog world!

It's Tuesday, and I'm playing along at the Stitching Challenge at Some Odd Girl.

At first, I told myself I wasn't going to play along. In the craft world, I am weakest at sewing so I thought I'd pass. But I had already colored this image a couple of weeks ago and I had a scene in mind.

I don't know what it is about scenic cards, but everytime it all comes together for me, I feel really successful :). Like my mind is saying, "WHOA! What I see in front of me is what's exactly in my head." It's nice when your supplies and embellishments just mesh together to depict a picture, y'know?

Echo Park's Happy Days line is probably inspired by the sitcom that starred Richie Cunningham, Joanie, and of course, who could forget "The Fonz." When I saw the jukebox sticker, I knew I had to somehow pair it with Dancin' Mae. Ummm, I know... you're probably saying that she's actually listening to her MP3 player, but the dancing looks so much better with the jukebox there too! LOL!

I wanted the scene straight from a mom & pop restaurant corner -- as you can see, there's a clock and a poster. I wanted a checkered floor but this Creative Imaginations PP was close enough.

The difficult part for me was the sewing as I do not own a sewing machine (much less know how to use one). Luckily, I was able to use my sew easy tool and that made it quicker to hand-stitch.

Off on a tangent here, but as I'm writing down my supplies, I am getting really excited! You see, I've heard about and seen them in a couple of blogs now - I've started an account at InLinkz. Have y'all heard about this blog tool that lists down your supplies using images? The Link Manager looks really neat! I've seen them on Sparkle's and Patricia's blogs. Hope to include the cute icons/ links tomorrow but I doubt it as I'll be going to a baseball game tonight. I'm so excited to finally go out! But I also feel antsy when I don't get to craft :(.

Anyway, I hope you all have a stellar rest of the day!!!
