Valentine Smooches

Hey peeps.  Not feeling well today actually all week but I couldn't spend another second in my bed.  So I got up threw on some sweats and made it to the stamp room.  I had the Little Smooches image from Mo's Digital Pencil (one of my favorites) colored up earlier in the week so I decided to cut her out with my Nestabilities (another favorite) and pop her on a card to participate in this week's challenge at Mo's Digital Pencil and today's Ways To Use It over at SCS.

I really wanted to show off the fishnet stockings I put on her.  LOL....she's so sexy.  When I leave my hair wet after washing it it's full of curls so this is what I would look like trying to give my hubby a few smooches on V-day!  He calls it my "lion mane".  Love it!  Well I hope you enjoyed my card today.  Next into the kitchen for some soup and crackers.  Hoping to make it out of this house and back to work tomorrow for at least one day!

Before I run here's the Copics I used:
Skin: E17, E15, E13, E97, E04, RV99
Hair: E39, E59, E49
Dress: YG97, YG95, YG93, YG91
Accessories and outline: R30, R32, R22

Hugs and love~

MOJO Pink and Green

Hey peeps.  Have a quick card to show you today.  First let me say that I'm in shock that there is no coloring on this card.  Yikes, I feel abnormal.  LOL  Love this week's challenge at MOJO Monday and the color choice for the Clean and Simple challenge at SCS.   Super quick and easy for a Monday.

Thanks for stopping.

Kraftin Kimmie Agnes

Morning everyone.  I'm back in my stamp room creating up a storm.  Today I made a card with the adorable Agnes stamp from Krafin' Kimmie.  I wanted to paper piece her skirt with some fun valentine day paper I purchased from Micheal's.  Not like I need another pad of paper but I just couldn't resists this one pack.  I'm like a hoarder when it comes to cute paper.  I might have to put some up as "candy" for a V-day give away.  What do you think? 
Here's a list of the Copics I used:
Skin: E11, E13, E15
Hair: 50, E53, E57, E49
Apron: R37, R29, R89
Bowl and Whisk: N0, N2, N4
Batter: E50, E53

I'm participating in the following challenges with today's card:

Paper Sundaes - Paper Piecing
Featured Stamper - Yeah Kim!!!
Kraftin' Kimmie - Spotlight An Image

Well, I'm off to make some chili for the family and to try to get a few more images colored up before the NY Giants take another win closer to the Superbowl.  Go big BLUE!!!

CMC Challenge

Hey peeps.  How's it going?  I'm back to show you a card for the bi-monthly CMC challenge.  For this challenge you need to show us your wintery/frosty projects.  Today's adorable image is from Lili Of The Valley called Ski Jump.  I am a huge fan of Lili of The Valley images.  They are so sweet.  Mine is riding down the wintery slops having a blast with his dog in tow.  So cute!

To create this card I used the following Copic markers: E00, E11, BG10, BG72, R24, R49, E35, E23, E25.  See you don't need to have a ton of markers to create a great card.  But why on earth would you want to limit your Copic collection?  All Copics need buddies to hang out with. :-)     

Hope you take the time to join us for this awesome challenge.  There are still a few places around that are brutally cold so head on into your stamps rooms or spaces and get creating in the warmth of the indoors.  Can't wait to see your creations.

Hugs and love~

Second Posting - Free For All SCS

Just had to post another card today.  I wanted to participate in two challenges (All That Scraps and SCS Free For All).  This adorable image called Honey with Umbrella has been colored up for a few weeks using a fabulous technique that Suzanne Dean taught in her Class 5 video.  In this video she shows how to make a leopard print design on any of your images using Copic markers.  I am in LOVE with this technique.  So much fun to do.  You have to check it out.  Here's the link so you to join in and have some fun.

Thanks for hanging around my blog today.  Have a fabulous Friday and a wonderful weekend.

Fun Friday - Your Next Stamp Way

Morning peeps.  Can't believe Friday is here already and you know what Friday is....Fun Friday at Your Next Stamp.  For today's card (made with the super adorable One Sweet Cookie stamp) I want to talk to you about coloring ribbon with your Copic Markers.  I don't know about you but I have TONS of ribbon but some how I never have the "right" color for some of my cards.  This is where your handy dandy Copic markers come into play. Grab a piece of white ribbon and the Copic marker of you choice and "color" your ribbon.  That's right color directly onto your ribbon.  Copics work wonders to create just the perfect matching shade of ribbon for your project.  As you can see with this card I actually striped it a little so it looks light pink and medium pink.  Pretty cool right?  No more having to stress over not having the perfect ribbon.  Just pick and Copic and get to coloring.  Thanks for stopping by and reading my little Copic tip of the day.  To find out more create ways to use your Copics hop on over to Color Me Creative where there are classes and advice on ways to get creative with your Copics.  And if your looking for a great challenge this week head on over to Eat, Sleep, Stamp and join in on the fun.

Hugs and love~

So Groovy

Morning peeps.  Hope all of you are having a blessed Sunday.  Today I'm participating in a few challenges.  Okay first let me say that I just love this image from The Paper Shelter.  She's just too groovy!!  Reminds me of my Mom back in the 70's.  LOL Sorry Mom.  Anyway her name is Disco Girl.  If any of you are old enough to remember Soul Train then you know this girl was in the line dancing her butt off.  LOL  My card is in honor of Linda over at Splitcoaststampers who is today's Featured Stamper.  Yay Linda way to go.  I'm also adding her to the Paper Sundaes challenge to pick one of your favorite challenges.  Mine is the Pop It Up challenge.  I love placing my images on dimensional to really make them stand out.  

Well I have to boogie on out of here.  Have lots on my plate for today.  Hope you enjoyed your visit today.  See ya back soon.

Hugs and love~

YNS Fun Fridays

Mornin', mornin' peeps.  I hope everyone is having a fabulous Friday.  We are starting something new at Your Next Stamp.  It's called Fun Fridays.  The DT will be showing some ways to have fun with your crafting.  I have to tell you that I'm a HUGE fan of sketches.  Ever since I've been stamping I have loved to see the different layouts for cards.  Some of them, I find to be such a challenge but that's what makes you think out of the box.  I also has an addiction to embellishments.  I have TONS of them in my drawers that they are overflowing but I have a way of never really showcasing them.  Well today I'm showing my adorable Love is in the Air set from the ubber talented Jenny Suchin along with some pretty pearls.  This is part of her new line for YNS.  I hope you have hopped around to see all the gorgeous cards that the DT has done with this new release.  Outstanding work ladies.

Today's card I'm following the sketch from Eat, Sleep, Stamp and the Crazy Challenge use of pearls along with the Paper Sundaes challenge to use saturated colors.  What a way to start the year with combining three challenges into one card!  Thanks for stopping by and don't forget to stop by again real soon.

Hugs and love~

Happy New Year...I think?!?!

Happy New Year everyone.  Hope you all had a wonderful and fun holiday and you have rung in 2012 with fun, laughter and love.  I have gotten over all the holiday fun only to end up in the hospital.  Yep, just got released today.  I haven't had time to get into my stamp room to start my year off surrounded with all my paper, stamps, Copics and glitter but I'll get there soon.  Have a few doctors appointments to see what the source of all my pain is coming from and then I should be back to normal.  I'm a very hard cookie and I don't crumble easy. :-)  Make sure you stop back Wednesday as I do have a card made for YNS new release.  Oh you are going to love these images.  Until then....

Hugs and love,
