Make It Crafty Card

Hello Everyone,

I have been trying my hardest this year to get some of those images and stamps inked up and my Card Stash to be restocked. So far so good on that goal. Today I am using one of the digital images I purchased from Make It Crafty for a Birthday card.


I keep it pretty simple as usual and colored the image up with my Copics. I was working with a bit of a different skin regime then usual, E13, 11, E21 and I really like it.

I Heart Gwen Just to say Thanks

Recently I had some dear friends who have really been there to help me out. Today I decided I was going to send one in particular this card just to let her know I care and appreciate all she has done for me. 

This image, called I Heart U Gwen has been one of my favorite for some time. I colored it up with my Copics and use some items from my stash.

Tiddly Inks Card

Sometimes the good things about living in a house of sick kids is that they just want to lie in your bed with you and cough all over you. That gave me some extra time to color up some images and stay up to set up some cards.

Today I will be showcasing a card I made with a Tiddly Ink Image. I am determined to try to use every little bit of this beautiful paper pad from Graphic 45.


As usual, I colored the image with my Copics and purposely colored it to match the paper set I was working with. I will be using this for one of the friend's daughter party tomorrow.

New Images from Some Odd girl

Have you checked out some of the newest images over at Some Odd Girl. I managed to get some time to create some cards with the newest images.

The first one is Brr Tia.  I am feeling that right now as the high has only been in the teens today where I live. Though I don't mind snow, this cold is just creeping into my bones. I colored this one with my Copics.

The second one is Pressie Tia.  This one is great for either the holidays or for birthdays. Love the versatility of  this image for those occasions. 




Come check out some of the great new images available over at Some Odd Girl.

Christmas Continues

What a whirlwind it has been lately. Though Christmas just came to a close, today I wanted to showcase two cards I made with Some Odd Girls images that I had to wait to after the holiday to show (did not want any spoilers).

The first one is Christmas Tree Mae.  As usual, I colored the image with my Copics and just a bunch of scraps I had in my stash that were holiday themed.

The next is from a Retired Stamp that I sure we will find in the shop in the digital section sooner than later.  The character is Kaylee and I will always adore this one.


Here is to hoping that for all of you that celebrate, you had a great Holiday and Happy New Years to all.

Before she closed her online shop. She still has an etsy shop so grab some from there before she closes that at the end of the year.

Halloween Tag

So we have a tradition here of "Booing" each other and leaving a little something for a friend near Halloween time.  So I decided to use a stamp I had from a retired collection in order to make a tag to put on my bag.  How I miss these stamps image and was so happy to see this artist start back up with CC Designs since I just love this artist style. 



Anyway, I colored the image with my Copics as usual. The paper is from my stash and I got some clearance stickers at AC Moore that I added.

Hope you like it.

Greeting Farm Card

Since I had this one colored up, figured it would work great for the Sketch based challenge this month over at Greeting Farms.  I colored it with my Copics and cracked into my millions of embroidery thread I have from my collection.


I was going for a Fall color scheme in this one and used up some of my last scraps I had from bin (guess that means it is time to go shopping).
