Wormy Day!

Are these little worms not the cutest? I just got them from Unity stamps this last week and since they are so cute I wanted to make the cards bright and cheerful so I chose a nice green and pink. I mean, not that I have seen a pink worm but I might add that I would RATHER see a pink worm than a green one. What about you?

The reality is that I was looking for a card the other day that was more of a "just a note" card and I didn't have any left. So I figured I would start with these little guys and of course they didn't take long to make, actually less than 3 min to color them. LOL. My papers are from one of the DCWV cardstock packs.

I hope that seeing these will just make you smile today, nothing fancy but bright, cheerful and fun. Have a splendid day!

Sweet Puppy Love

I got my new Magnolia's from KLStampinNScrappin Store and I had to put them to use, is this not the sweetest Tilda with her puppy? I just fell in love with this one as soon as I saw it. So I inked her up and used my nesties to layer her- around the edges of my scallops I used the white signo gell pen to give it a little extra. I colored Tilda with my copics as well, I can't tell you how much I just love using those darned markers- who would have thought? The flowers are primas and I used little gemstones in the center (bling em!), added a little SU grosgrain and sweetness. Oh and I even stitched the coordinating paper.


I then thought I would go ahead and decorate the inside, I have been wanting to try and sell some of my cards because if I am making 5-8/week I don't know what else to do with them. What do you all do with yours? Don't forget Magnolia stamps are always 10% off over at KLSNS store AND she has Easter stamps to preorder right now! Plus, if you order $75 worth of product you will get free shipping using code MarchMad.

Ok- you have to come back Monday or Tuesday as I am going to post my Birthday Blog Candy! I figure my birthday is March 14th and you all deserve a chance to win something sweet (I hope you think so anyways!)

Safari Friends

This is one of my Little C's stamps that I got- it is a High Hopes and I used the giraffe which is also a High Hopes. I stamped the hiker and then masked him to add the giraffes. I have to tell you, the color on here is not that good to me- but I had my hubby do some research for me to come up with the colors for the giraffe. Did you realize that giraffe's legs are actually much lighter than their bodies? You would not know from my card as I didn't really have a color to blend in so I was safe. The paper is Rusty Pickle Holiday Stripe (I know you are amazed that I even know that- but it helps when they put it clearly on the back of the paper!) My base is SU mustard and the image is matted on Hunter green. I used a little twine and some brads to finish it off. The twigs are from the MS punch.

Don't forget Little C's sale, it ends today. It is for 35% off with code BDay36.

Sweet NESS (and a sale!)

Okay, have you noticed a trend in my postings? yep, they all have sweet in them because I am just loving this BG bittersweet paper. I matched it up with a little BG textured cardstock on this card and it works well. The stamp set is Sweet Treats by CC Designs and this is the only set I own but love so many of those little guys. You can purchase CC designs at Little C's too and they are having a sale starting today and going through Saturday!! I colored this little cuddly teddy with my copics and of course he is eating sweet ice cream that I had to color pink. Oh man, I should have added a little liquid applique to make it 3D- I will go back and do that now! Geesh- you know, are you like me, I do the card and stare at it- then a bit later think, "Oh I should have done that!" I am always going and changing my cards.

Okay, gotta run, have a great day! Don't forget the wonderful sale over at Little C's either- 35% off today through Saturday! It is in celebration of Jen's birthday: the code is BDay36. Go and getcha something sweet!

Groovy!

When I first saw this little girl she reminded me of a good friends daughter about 5 years ago and so I had to buy it. She used to stamp with me but is growing up into a young lady so she has not been stamping. I thought I would send her a little card to let her know I still think of her and think she is groovy! It is a Bizzy Bec stamp and they are from Australia so if you like the stamp go and check em out and tell Bec I sent you- she has FAB shipping rates.


I colored Hippy Girl with my copics and then added a few prima, some ribbon and yes, she is getting a little metal! (for those of you who know I like to hoard my metals!). I also used little pearls around the scallops to give it a little extra bling- she is 13 so you know she likes bling! I wish I could see her face when she gets this card and I hope she likes it.

I should tell you that this card I am also entering in a contest for the new Challenge over at Stamps and Smiles! Jennifer has started her own company and they are so cute!

Tuesday Little C Color Challenge

Hello all! Today's color challenge over at Little C's Blog is to use purple, ivory, celery and red. At first I was skeptical- these are not colors I would usually use but I knew I could pull it off with the image that I used, which of course is a WOJ stamp. I then used the swiss dots cuttlebug folder and Stampin Up base. The card is simple but I thought it brought attention to the image this way. The flowers are the All Natural Accents over at Little C's (aren't they beautiful?) I just ordered a few more packs. Little C's will be having a special February 26-28th of 20% off so you better start making your lists!

Have a great day!
