Bring out some oldies but goodies

Oh how sad I was to hear that one of my favorite stamp companies went out of business so I hold on to these beauties.  I dusted it off and made this card with this image.

The papers are a combo of straps from my stash as well as the flowers are too.  The sentiment is from a stamp set I have.  As usual, it is Copic colored.

Some Odd Girl Kitty Love

Hi everyone.  Today I wanted to showcase a SOG image I colored up and made a card with. Now I am not a huge cat lover but I have a lot of cat lover friends so thought it would be great for me to make one for them. 



As always I colored the image with my Copics. The paper is from my stash and used a SOG sentiment stamp set as well.

Penny Black


I am back. Sorry for the long break but went through a period of mojo less creativity so had to wait for it to come back.  I got some inspiration as I was trying t do some sorting of my stamps and found a Penny Black stamps I did not stamp up so decided to use them. 

I colored it up with my Copics and then used some papers from my stash.

Stamping Bella Card

I have added quite a few new Stamping Bella to my collection so I decided to color one up and get it on a card. 




Sometime I am lucky when I can find just the right paper to match my colored image since I usually color first and then find paper

Folio Notebook Holder

So I saw this awesome and pretty easy Folio Notebook Holder on YouTube by CherishUrmemories that I decided to do last night. The album is 10x7.  I received some papers and embellishments in a swap and decided to use them to create the outer cover.


'
On the inside, I have two mini notebooks that I covered with some Crafts & Me images. On the bottom I created a pocket for business cards and then a mini-waterfall effect and added another colored image I did from Crafts & Me. 

The other side is bare because I still need to get a notepad to put into it. Off to Walmart I go.

Here is a close up of the two images I colored up with my Copics.

Birthday Card

So one of my daughters BFFs shares my Hubby's Bday so I always remember this little girl. She is a sweet girl so I thought this image would be great for her.  It did it to make it kind of look like her too in my color scheme.

Greeting Farm Winter Theme

I recently got some great stamps from the closing sale over at Quick Creations (still going on by the way).  I added to my every large Greeting Farm collection with this cutie. Since Christmas is over I thought she would look adorable in a more winter theme color scheme. I also using some newer paper (Xpress paper) that I got for Christmas too to color the image on.

Magnolia Card

It is bittersweet sharing my last DT card here for Quick Creations. It has been a pleasure working with this great DT and owner, Noelle, for nearly 2 years.  Wishing everyone a Happy New Years and best fortunes in wherever comes your way. 

Today's card showcases one of my favorite companies, Magnolia.  This adorable image is called "Up Up and Away".  As usual, I colored the image with my Copics.  I paired the image with the lovely paper collection by Simply Creative called Flower Girl Power.

Another Holiday Card

So I used some of my now retired stamp company. These images are still some of my favorites so I just could not part with them. I decided to do a more neutral card so that I can give it out to anyone I need to during the holidays.

The sentiment is from a Whimsy Stamp set I have. Love these great little sentiments and the stamp set is from a border die I have. I again colored it with my Copics and then mounted it on a kraft card.

Getting some money holders ready for the holidays for my family. With all the kiddos getting big, gift cards and money are the way to go.



The adorable image is from Greeting Far and I colored it with my Copics.  I then added some embellishments from my stash. I actually got the stick pins in a swap so I can not take credit for those.

I added some stickle to the tree to help it glitter more.

Layout Time

Hello everyone. It is Olivia again and today I am back with a Scrapbook Layout. I try to do some pages of major events in my children's life at least because I often fall behind in my goals to get more pages done.  At least this one is done in the same year it happened. 

For this layout, I used the papers from the Carta Bella, HomeMade with Love. I love the rich colors of this collections.  I also added some embellishments from my stash and a mini Gorjuss stamp, Purrrrfect Love in my layout

Be sure to check out all the great papers and embellishments as well that work great with layout or other projects as well.
