CCC # 15.


Good Sunday mornin'!

I cannot believe it's already March!! Seems like the Holidays were just here!

I'm telling you though...it feels good that my stack of Christmas cards is getting higher! :) No more scrounging up time, energy, or effort come December to finish off those last-minute Holiday creations for me! And if you want to add on to your stash, pls play along!

For this week's Christmas Card Challenges (week 15), we have an inspiration photo for ya.

Kimono Kaylee.

Hi folks!

Just another quick post as I had some time to color and make a card today...Yiiippppppeeee!!!!

I love this Japanese-inspired line from My Little ShoeBox. It's perfect for my Japanese stamps from The Greeting Farm, Sparkle Creations Rubber Stamps, and Some Odd Girl.

Haven't had the chance to color her up until today, but isn't Kimono Kaylee just stunning? Aside from the Kraft and Cardstock (which are from Bazzill) and the banner images (which are from TGF's Bantastic), all supplies are from My Little Shoebox.

I'm also entering this card for SOG's current Sketch Challenge.

I'm working this weekend, but my sissies just came over for dinner and maybe a movie. Yay for girl time!

Have a wonderful weekend!

I HEART Saturated Canary.

IMG_4896
Hi all!

After seeing this Saturated Canary beauty on Shirl's and Eva's blogs, I fell in love with her and had to have her too! Luckily, I was able to get her for free by going to Krista's post.

Krista sells her digi stamps through her Etsy store. (Etsy is down right now so I can't provide you with the exact link, but you can go through the challenge blog). I admire her characters' eyes, their wild, strand-y hair, and sometimes-awkward poses. I also adore their detailed clothes. In this case, her ruffles and many layers! It took me many days to color her (please pardon the shoes/socks area), but I really love how she turned out.

I am entering this card for Saturated Canary's Challenge # 12 - Doilies. I went through my supplies, looking for the one doily I thought I had but couldn't find it. I just made my own by punching out some favor bags. Hope that's ok :).

The rest of the supplies came from Dear Lizzy's new Neopolitan line, my current fave. I think the soft, spring colors balance the image's dark, striking hair and almost-sad expression. Oh, and the lace ribbon is from Hero Arts.

Have a wonderful day!

14th week on CCC.

Good morning, peeps!

It's time for another Christmas Card Challenge! # 14 is to include some embossing!

Now I've officially put myself on a stamping diet, so my dreams of a die-cutting/ embossing machine have been put on hold. I do, however, own some design paper with embossed elements. Although you can't tell from the picture, the sentiment is raised and embossed and so are the glittered stripes behind it.

Here's more of a close-up:

I've been using lots of scraps. My cutes-y card is made from two of my faves! The Greeting Farm and Love, Elsie (KI memories).

Anyway, head on over to the CCC blog for more info and inspiration! Hope you have a fabulous day~

You Are RAD!

Hi everyone!

I decided it's time for a teen-inspired card when it came time to coloring up TGF's Madden. She is probably my favorite Creeper, and I just love, LOVE that hair!

Wanted to match her fun and funky clothes with a similar background. Used a bunch of scraps from Bam-Pop! Y'all remember them? I've recently been using Dance Central 2 as my main exercise routine, and this card reminds me of a video game.

Sorry so short! I'm actually on my lunch break right now, and need to get going! Have a wonderful Thursday, and I'll see you back here soon!

Smooches,
