Waiting for a friend

Today's card is so bright and cheerful, even my hubby really likes her. She is a Hanglar image that I got from my friend Claudia and I chose a bright color DP which is K&Co and so I wanted her to match the orange in the paper. I colored her with my copic markers. I used pumpkin pie for the scallop/embossed rectangle and to matte the blue. The ribbon is also pumpkin pie from SU. The sentiment is a SU sentiment. This card measures 5 1/2 x 5 1/2 which I find accomodates the larger images so well and gives me a change.
With that I will leave you for the evening, I have a couple more projects to post this week and I am playing with a couple of my new colors from SU tonight.

Envelope Purse

I am sure that many of you have seen the carousel card purses that were being made earlier this year. Well I had some regular sized PINK envelopes and I really wanted to make a cute purse out of it so I set to work on it. The base of this is 2 A2 envelopes that I got from Marco Paper, the DP is all from the DCWV paper packs, SU grosgrain ribbon. I used the Magnolia Image because............... well, this was a gift that I gave to Claudia for having me into her home last weekend. As many of you know I went and spent the day and I do mean, the day- I didn't leave there until 11pm. We had such a wonderful time......... but shall I digress or what?
The little pink heart charm I got in a 24 days of Christmas swap from Batgirl on SCS and it was so perfect for this purse. This is a picture of the inside of the purse and inside the envelopes are circles that you could journal on or put messages. Now, I always think of these as photo albums but they truly could be turned into cards! Honestly, I would love to get a card like this! I hope that Claudia enjoys it and is able to put it to good use.

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend..... today was beautiful and it suppose to be even nicer tomorrow so I am hoping to get some "sun" time in preparation for our upcoming vacation next month. So tata for now.

Just Do It!

You ever have one of those (of course you do) dreams that you want to do something fun, exciting in your life that maybe isn't want you went to "college" for but would be something so cool to do? Well that is what Katharina is doing! She has founded her own stamp company called Whiff of Joy Stamps! I found her blog and just fell in love with her images because they are fun and of course, they have little boys! I have always been looking for boyish images, hence my love for Precious Moments and Magnolias. Well she put out a call for design team members and well, since I love the images I thought I would give it a try. So, here is my take on her sketch. Wish me luck!

I used a Precious Moment Stamp and colored it with my copic markers. The paper is from the baby boy DCWV paper packs layered on the new SU Baha Breeze and So Saffron. I then used my sizzlets to cut out the little ice cream cone for the sentiment. Couldn't help myself, it was just too cute. I popped the ice cream and the main image off the page a little bit, added some stickles to the ice cream- doesn't it just look yummy enough to eat. That little pooch sure is happy! Hope you enjoyed the card!

Coloring and More!

This first card I made is with an image that I got on SCS called Birdie Bath and it is a Whipper Snapper image. I fell in love with this little bird the first time I saw it. So- this is my card that I am going to post for Kraftin Kimmie's blog candy challenge. All you have to do is use her sketch, make a card and post it on your blog or on SCS- easy peasy! So whatcha waiting for? Take a look at what she is giving away- Magnolia stamps. They are yummy and cute all in one. As you can see in this picture I lifted the image off the nestie and I added stickles to the water and also to the prima flowers. I used copics to color the image- a couple grey's, blues, yellow and pink. It was fairly simple to do this one and I love how it turned out. I left it blank so I can jot a note in it and send it off when I wanted to.

Thank you for checking in, I am going to try and post another pic later as I have been just working like a slave girl on stuff lately. LOL!

Bestest Friends

Good Sunday all! This is a sweet Tilda card, I can't recall her name but I thought she was so just cute. I used Ruby Red SU paper for the card and the scallop and the DP is Cosmo Cricket, which is another paper that I just love now. I colored her with my SU markers and my copic markers combined and it worked well together. I spent some time yesterday with Claudia (pretty pressings) trying to perfect my face coloring- still need to work on that though. This is a card that I made by following Claudia's sketch on Friday Sketchers- if you ladies need some inspiration I recommend that you try one of these Sketch Challenges to get your mojo going. I know I have been participating in a few of them and it gives me something to get me going.

Some of you ladies that were asking about the blog candies that I post about, I have started a BLOG CANDY roll call over on the right upper left of my blog. So I recommend that you check out the websites........ these ladies have a lot of talent and give away some fun goodies. You can see Marlene's, Kristines, Yummy Scrummy, Maya's and Lorraine's Goods!

Oh Nellie!

I got this sweet Nellie image from Lorien and is she not the sweetest little girl? I made this card for A spoon full of Sugar Challenge's One for the girl. It of course had to use a little girl and I am thinking I will add a sentiment to this one. I just thought she was cute with her little birdie on her head. Have a great weekend. Heidi
