Mooning Morris

Hi everyone,

My husband and I used to play darts on a league and we loved it. I think this little gnome is just so adorable. My son plays on a dart league now so I will give him this card for his birthday. The image is a free image to use at Lacy Sunshine challenge blog this week. The theme is monochromatic. I used all DCWV papers except for the DSP I used recollections steam punk stack. I printed the image onto neenah white cs and coloured it with copics. I added dsp on the right side and on the inside of the card. I added the twine at the last minute and used the fastenater to add a staple to the centre of the twine. The  happy birthday stamp is from SU teeny tiny wishes. I will enter this card into these challenges.

Steampunk Mimi

Hi everyone,

My post today is for the Fairy's challenge blog. Our sponsor this week is Crafts and Me. I have used this cute stamp called Mimi, you can tell by her hair that she is steam punk. I have not colored one before so it was great fun for me. I printed her off onto neenah cs and colored her with copics. E000,00,21,37,35,33,31, B26,23,22, N0,2,4,6,8. The card base is chocolate chip and the DSP is from Recollection Steam punk stack. The ribbon was added at the last minute. 3 small tags were cut at .75 and I used the photo corner punch to cut the end of the tag in a v. I finished the inside with the left over papers. I will enter this card into these challenges.

Hi everyone,

I have been having problems with blogger lately and  couldn't upload any pictures the last few days. I am now using a different browser and yippee it works. Todays card is a Heather Valetin image called Eleanor and Pickles Pumpkin. I decided she was just too cute not to use her when ever I want. I removed the top of her hat, the pumpkin and pickles. She turned out adorable. I printed her onto Neenah CS white. [it looks pink in the photo]  used the octagon spellbinders to die cut her. She is colored with copic's. The DSP is DCWV and on the right side I used an edge punch. The ribbon and flowers were in my stash. Some of the flowers were popped up with dimensional's. I will enter her into these challenges.

Flowerbed Fred

Hi everyone,

I would like you all to meet Heather Valetins new digital stamp flowerbed fred. Isn't he adorable! Fred is the free digi Heather @ Lacy Sunshine is giving away for her challenge this week. I thought he would look good in a green house, so I was trying to make this look like he was sitting in a window sill. The card base is DCWV, and the DSP is all from the recollections botanical steampunk stack. I stapled the bottom layer on to the first layer with the tim holtz tiny attacher. I added 4 black brads on each corner. It is just too busy a design to put a lot of embellishments. I printed fred onto neenah card stock and colored him with copics. I fussy cut him out and added dimensional to the back. The sentiment is a dollar store purchase and the first time it has been used. I think I have had it for at least 4 years. I punched it our with an oval punch and added two small daisies to each end. I will add this card into these challenges.

Have A Sunny Day!

Lacy Sunshine Stamp - Sunny

Hi everyone,

It's been raining all day today so I went and got my groceries, visited my granddaughter and came home to make this cute birthday card for another granddaughter who's name happens to be Summer. I thought this cute free image from Heather Valetin, Lacy Sunshine was a perfect card for her. This little cutie's name is Sunny. I printed her onto neenah cs, and colored her with copics. I used a spellbinders grand templates called Creative Book Pages Two. It`s nice because all the dies will cut on my big shot. I chalked the background and the trim around the frame with the SU chalks. The card base is recollections, and the DSP is DCWV. The sunflower trim at the side of the card is from the same spellbinder set, I added a silk ribbon from my stash. I will enter this card into these challenges.

Aussie Girl Kenna

Lacy Sunshine stamp- Aussie Girl Kenna

Hi everyone,

I have made a center step card today using a Lacy Sunshine stamp called Aussie Girl Kenna. I just love the little panda.[ OOPS I got caught again, sorry its a koala not a panda.] Lexie you really keep me on my toes. LOL! Look at the expression on the koala's face. This is such a cute image and fun to color. I printed her off onto neenah cs and colored it with copics. I used a corner punch on the image, I think it is from recollections. I added two button brads on each end and the DSP is from ATD [american traditions designs] The papers in this pad are just gorgeous but then I think I am a paper horder so I love all paper. LOL! Some are just harder to use than others. To finish the card I added sukura pink glitter pen and doodled around the frame. I will enter this card into these challenges.

Happy Birthday Mouse 2

Hi everyone,

I am posting another card for the fariess blog challenge. Our sponsor is Melnen's Design Stamps. I am using Meljen's Design Birthday Mouse. I used a two circle punches of different sizes and punched out the mouse. With the larger circle I cut little slits all around the circle to make it look more like a flower. The effect isn't quite as good as I was imagining but it will do. I colored the image with copics and all the papers are DCWV. I added a green twine and some brown stitch marks. I will add this card into these challenges.
