Daydreaming...

Good Thursday morning, folks!!!

For today, I've got a Time for Tea Designs card to show ya!

I, unfortunately, haven't gotten my printer fixed so I am showing you a digi stamp from last month's release -- Daydream Believer. She is just sweet and pretty! I love her outfit and hair. I tend to color most of my characters' hair black (because I have black hair), but am trying different color combinations here.

This reminds me of a story when one of my BFFs, Mars, said she didn't know how to day dream. I said, "WHAT?!" I told her look out the window, get lost in your thoughts, and just take a minute not to do anything else... and then let your mind take you where it wants to go!! I couldn't relate because it seems like my head is always in the clouds, LOL!



I love these puffy heart sayings stickers from Skipping 5. Thought they'd go perfectly with these papers from Shanna Noel's Print Shop. I've gotten a lot of cards from this paper pad. I just adore how versatile they are... you'd never think I was using these same papers for this week's cards!! Since I needed to make a lot of projects this week, I was just reaching out for the supplies I have on hand. You see, I'm really bad about crafting in my craft room..I tend to bring my supplies out to the family room. And scrap/ make cards while I watch TV and the kiddies play.

Anyway, I hope you all have a great day!

I'll see you soon!!

Last Preview Day for C.C.Designs' March releases.

Top of the mornin' to ya!!

Today's the last day of March previews over at C.C. Designs, and it's Sweet November time!

Amy Young's Sweet November Bunny Tails are truly perfect for Spring and Easter. So much so that I wanted to include them in my Project Life*. This project is a 4x6 journal card.



I was mostly inspired by these colorful bunny Peeps I spotted online. I was drooling over them as I am trying a low carb lifestyle right now, and also admiring how pretty they were! Enter Copics and these images and voila! My very own Easter low carb option :).

Since I already had Shanna Noel's Print Shop papers out for another CCD project, I used up the scallop designed paper. The colors pretty much matched up although I truly didn't plan it that way. I thought it was quite pleasing to the eye and was a nice surprise!



Added some cute stickers and of course, the flowers had to show up somewhere -- it is a Spring card afterall! Used a date stamp to document when Easter would be in my Project Life album.

*(If you haven't heard of PL, it's basically a different way of scrapbooking. Created by Becky Higgins, it's mostly putting in cards in a pocket protector system. You can view more info here).


Hope y'all have a stellar day!!

C.C. Designs' Day 3 of March Previews.

Hiya Peeps!! And welcome to Day 3 of previews over at C.C. Designs' March Releases. This little cutie is from Pollycraft, and her name is Queenie! She is just super cute, don't ya think?

When we were able to pick the stamps we're showcasing, I chose her because of that darling, curly hair! Oh, oh, oh! I can't stand how adorbs she is! Curly hair isn't very easy for me to color. I also wanted to try red/ orange, because she is just so sassy to me! I am quite pleased with how it turned out. :)



Again, as it is a Spring-themed stamp, I wanted to choose feminine, colorful papers. Allison Kreft's Composition and Color line was the way to go. To match Miss Queenie's sassiness, I mixed up lots of patterns and colors. Am still using up those resin flowers, which go along with her dress, don't ya think?

Thanks so much for visiting! See ya back here tomorrow for the last day of previews!!

Toot-a-loo!!

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,

March Previews Day 1 for CC Designs.

Good morning, everyone!

It's my first post on new previews there at C.C. Designs, and I'm so very excited!!

Today, I'm showing you cards previewing the new C.C. Designs releases for March. They will available on March 6th, 12 noon EST, and I hope you visit the blog for more DT previews!

Here's a project featuring Snail:



Snails hold a special place in my heart right now because of the movie, Turbo, that my youngest absolutely loves! I wanted to use up a color combination that was new to me though, and I was lucky enough to find these papers from Shanna Noel's Print Shop line. I think they are perfect for the subdued, simple, but interesting look I was trying to achieve with this garden snail.




Thanks so much for visiting, everyone!! I hope you all have a great rest of the weekend!! And don't forget... the BIG day is March 6th for the reveal!!
