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!

OH and are you an elzybell fan? They have a new release out today- go and check it out! Some sweet, yummy new stamps!

High Hopes for You!

I have been so wanting to spend more time with my High Hopes and participate in some of their challenges and have just not had time to do it so far. I was doing a little blurfing on blogs tonight and noticed they are looking for DT members so thought I would give this one a try. I had to use this sketch from Katarina which I think is a sweet sketch and I had fun using it. I left it in the direction she gave us but you could use it sideways as well. This little guy was sent to me from a friend and I just love the look on his face- reminds me of when my kids would bring me frogs or snakes (no thank you!) The yellow and greens are colors I do not use that often so that was my own personal challenge on this card. The paper is from BG cupcake paperpack- I got if from Kelly over at KLStampinNScrapping. The image is colored with copics as well!

You also need to stop over at KLSTampinNScrapping to see the new Easter Magnolia stamps that she is taking orders on- remember they are ALWAYS 10% off, what are you waiting for? They are some cuties! Here is one to tempt you!

Hope you enjoy him!

Hello all! I hope this post finds you all doing well, smiling and maybe enjoying your weekend! Yeha- you go girl!

This little image is so cute and not sure if you notice most of my cards are comprised of larger images so this was a little bit of a challenge for myself. Something I have been trying to do for some time now.... challenge MESelf. Anywho, the paper is from this wonderful DCWV paperpack that I got right after christmas on clearance. It had Valentine's, Easter, Halloween and Christmas paper (hence the clearance I guess). Either way- it has awesome paper in it. So this card really was a simple card, colored the image quickly with my copics, layered with pink and nesties and added a little bow! It is set for an Easter or Spring greating really!

Tata for now!

Candy

I won a handmade (or boughten) gift on another gals blog for being 1 of the first 5 to post to her blog. Part of the idea was that if I won I had to PIF something to 5 of my viewers so that is what I am going to do!

Here is how it goes:

1. The first 5 to post here will get a handmade or boughten prize from me.
2. I will mail these out in the next month (this makes it easier for me to remember)
3. You do not know what the item(s) are- they are my choice.
4. If you are the first 5 and want to participate- you must now go to your blog and post this same PIF to your viewers and PIF out 5 items.
5. Once you've listed this on your blog- come back and post that you've done it.

Have fun- challenge yourself, you are sending 'love" to someone you don't even know! (or maybe you do!)

Then you need to check out this wonderful blog candy over at paper therapy!

Also Lim is celebrating her anniversary of he blog- check it out here.
Hugs!
