Voodoo Dollies

Hello everyone!  You're gonna love these adorable Voodoo dollies from Dustin Pike of Doodle Dragon Studios.  These are perfect for that special person.  These sweet-as-can-be images are now available at the Doodle Dragon Studios Store!

My first card uses VooDood (get it?  VooDude?) Line.  I couldn't resist a sassy sentiment...this one will, of course, need to be for my hubby.  LOL!  He'll appreciate it.  Colored with Copics and a little Stickles on the heart pin...

My next card features VooDood Stuck.  How can anyone NOT be stuck on these images?  I mean, for reals!  I love the little fellas so much!  Colored with Copics and distressed around the edges...

Thanks so much for stopping in today...go get your VooDood on!  MWAH!!!

Farewell to Pixie Dust Studio

Hello all and happy Saturday!  I'm back with my second project for the Forest Friends Release at Pixie Dust Studio.  Today I have merged three images for my card.  I  just couldn't choose!  I used Forest Bella, Forest Fella and Forest Finds.  I colored them up with my Copics and for the life of me I could not get the lightest pinks to show in my photos!  Grrr!  I ended up selecting them in Photoshop and recoloring...this was after I tried to adjust the colors.  It's a mess, but you get the idea.  LOL!

Check them out and shop away!  Thanks so much for stopping by this weekend!  MWAH!!!

Pixie Dust Studio Sneak Peek!

Hello friends! Two days in a row! Yeah! I'm popping in to show you a sneak peek of tomorrow's release, Forest Friends, at Pixie Dust Studio.

I've used the image called "Love Birds" for my layout of the hubs and I.  This image also comes with 2 sentiments...XOXO and Hugs and Kisses.  Also coming out tomorrow is the kit I used called Jar of Hearts.

I hope you like the new image...come on back tomorrow for more fun!  MWAH!!!

Be My Valentine

Happy Valentine's Day again, my sweets!  I hope your day is being filled with love!  I'm here with the 3rd challenge for the Can You Digi It? Blog!  This round we have a sweet collage for your inspiration.  This challenge is called PUPPY LOVE.  Awwww!

Is this image cute, or what?  Doesn't he look sorry that he gnawed on the paper before he brought it in?  It is called Stressed Mutt by KiniArt.  I stamped the little sentiment from PTI on it after I printed and colored.  I used Newsprint Candi Dots that are brand spanking new to the CYDI? store.  I colored them to match my project with my Copics...I thought they were appropriate with the sweet dog bringing in the newspaper, but I didn't like the way the stark white looked.  In pops the R85 Copic to match this sweet DP from Glitz Design's Pretty in Pink paper pack, and voila!  Love it!  I also used a MS border punch and some fab ribbon trim from Hobby Lobby.

Come on over and join us for our PUPPY LOVE challenge!  We'd love to see what you come up with and win!  ;O)  MWAH!

XOXO

Hi everyone...I wanted to make a super quick post this morning and show you the Valentine I made for my dear daughter using one of Dustin Pike's Doodle Dragon Studios images.  Don'tcha just love this image...those dragons are the cutest!  :O)  The sentiment in white is from a PTI set.

Be sure to come back at 8PM CST for a brand new steampunk release and blog hop from Simply Betty Stamps!  :O)

It's a White Out!

Hello Simply Betty Stamps fans!  Welcome to another round of challenges at Simply Betty Challenges...and boy, was this ever a challenge for me!  Yes, I chose it, but that's the name of the game.  Besides, how could I pass up a challenge to honor "Snowpocolypse 2011"?

My challenge to you, should you choose to accept it, is WHITE OUT!  Your entire card must be white...designer paper, card stock, embellies, the works - with the exception of your colored image.  Play along with us this week to win an Emo Rio rubber stamp and an Emo Miller rubber stamp!  Betty is too awesome, isn't she?

I used the oh, so cute Emo London from the Valentine's set.  I LURVE HER!  I made the flower a few months ago and it was so big that it never fit just right...until now.  Woot!  How do you like the hair?  I tried a new color combo and I love it.  For anyone wanting to try it it's YR14, YR18, E09.

Be sure to check out the awesome creations from my DT sistahs...they never cease to amaze me!  :O)

My Love 4 U...

Hello, people!  Happy hump day!  It is SO COLD today!  5 degrees is just ridiculous!  I don't even want to know what the wind chill is.  Last night we got more snow...like that's just what we needed?  Just another 1.5" or so, but still.  It's the slick, wet kind too...not good for driving!  BLECH!

On to a much more fun topic...cards, coloring and Valentine's Day, oh my!  I made this super cute card the other using one of the new images from Wink Wink Ink.  It's called Love Grows and there is also a FREE sentiment that you can get for it as well.  Woot!  Melanie really is too cool!  I used the sentiment on my tag (never mind that I cut it out crooked with my handy Nesties.)  The tree became my pocket since I couldn't seem to fit it on there any other way.  ;O)

By the way, we have a fun Facebook Page dedicated to Wink Wink Ink!  Come on over and "LIKE" us, say hi, upload a WWI card and don't forget to add me while you're there!  ;O)

Sexy Valentine

Good morning, sweets!  It's Tuesday and you know what that means...well, you should anyway since I say this most every Tuesday!  It's time for a fresh new challenge at Anita Be Stampin Challenge blog!  Woot, woot!  Another fabby sketch this week by Neeters herself!  Check out the challenge blog and see all the deets including the awesome prize up for grabs!  ;O)

Today I have used the digi stamp called Busty Betsy.  Not only is she super sexy and oh-so-perfect for Valentine's Day cards, also 100% of the proceeds from Busty Betsy digi image sales will benefit Susan G. Komen For The Cure!  Awesome!  Once again I flipped the sketch...

Thanks so much for coming by to visit!  Check out what the rest of the team has done with this sketch as well...links are on my sidebar!  Have a wonderful day!

HBD2U

WOW!!!  I suck!  I had scheduled this post to go off last Friday and only JUST noticed that  it never posted...DUH!  Anywho, here it is!  Better late than never, eh?

Good morning...and a very early morning at that!  We are slowly digging ourselves out from Snowpocalypse 2011.  We got 20 1/2" inches of snow!  Can you imagine?  My neighbors were smart enough to take a picture with the yard stick, so I just borrowed theirs...UGH!

On to the reason for my post...it's Friday again!  Woohoo!  Time for another round of challenges at Simply Betty Challenges!  This week our teamie has challenged us to make a Valentine Birthday with the color combo of PINK, BLACK & TURQUOISE!  How fun!  I decided to use the ever adorable Rio Valentine Emo.  She's been colored with Copics with the exception of her hair...that's Prismacolor pencils and OMS.  I can't seem to get black hair right unless I use the pencils.  :O)

Be sure to hop on over to the SBC blog to get all the deets on this challenge including what awesome prize is up for grabs AND the awesome samples from my DT sistahs!

I Love You!

Good afternoon everyone!  Welcome to the wonderful Blizzard of Oz!  Yep, we had what they called "Blizzard 2011" on the news and what we lovingly refer to as Snowpocolypse.  LOL!  We're snowed in...hubby is home school has already been canceled (again) for tomorrow.  Oh, the joys of living in the midwest!

I wanted to share a cute card I made with one of the new digital images at Wink Wink Ink.  Melanie has made the cutest Love images to make those "love you" cards with!  I used Lighthearted for my card today.  Hope you likey!

Have a lovely day!  :O)

Anita Be Stampin Rubber Preview Day 2

Good morning, party people!  TGIF!  I sure hope the weekend proves to be better than this week has been!  How could it not though?  TOMORROW is the big release day for the new rubbah at Anita Be Stampin!  Today we're previewing the set called Bears and Bunches.

I got a cute mini mailbox from the dollar section at Target and altered it up using the 2 cute bears in this set.  The boy bear actually holds a huge bouquet of flowers behind his back, but I just cut them out for the use on my project.  I hope you like it!

Check out the rest of the projects the team made with this adorable set by checking out the ABS blog!  :O)

Love is in the Air!

Good afternoon everyone!  I have missed you all SO MUCH!  Since when do I leave for over a month and not say a word?  Usually never.  I have a very serious family emergency going on right now, but I am finally "normal" (yes, I use the term loosely) enough to color and feel like getting crafty!  I can still use all the good juju you can spare though.  :O)  I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and New Year's...ours was trying, but good nonetheless.

Onward and upward!

Today's card features a new digi image from Wink Wink Ink called Love Fairy!  I love her!  I'm all about fairies, ya know!  Melanie did an outstanding job on this stamp and the other Valentine images!  The heart is actually blank, but I stamped the sentiment from PTI on it and embossed with white embossing powder.  I haven't decided who will get this card just yet...

Thanks for coming by today...let's make this a bit more regular, shall we?  Have a great day peeps!

Flutter By Wednesday #96

Good morning everyone!  I am feeling better today, thank goodness!  I was having a bit of coloring withdrawal!  :O)  It's Wednesday and time for Flutter By Wednesday #96!  This week's challenge is to create something with a love theme, however you perceive it.  You MUST use a butterfly, fairy or angel!

I used a CC Designs digi image...Nurse Nora.  It was supposed to say I'm the Love Doctor, but this is how she ended up.  I figure you have to love someone to want to take care of them, so...

I hope you enjoy my card this week! Be sure to check out the rest of the design team's creations! Ann, Cassie, Chris, Christine, Danni, Harriet, Heather, Jodi, Karen, Kimberly, Kris, Kristie, Michelle, Nancy, Nicola & Pam.
