Miss Ladybugs Bright and Sunny

I haven't inked up any Whiff of Joy stamps in a while, but I really wanted to play with one of my newest ones. This cutie is called Miss Ladybugs. I coloured her with Copics and the paper is from Basic Grey. Purple and yellow are my two favorite colours, so I thought I'd make a card using them together.

Copics used: 0, C1, C3, E000, E00, E11, E18, E39, E99, R20, V0000, V20, V25, Y000, Y11, Y15, YR23, YG07

Challenges entered:

Whiff of Joy - Sketch Challenge

Paper Sundaes - Sundae Bar (Gems & Purple)

Pile it On - Circles

A Spoon Full of Sugar - Ribbons & Bows

PWCO Sketch Challenge # 85

Here's a little card I made for my niece who is turning 6 on Tuesday. I used one of the cute Abigail C stamps from PaperWorks Co and entered their sketch challenge. PaperWorks is now giving people until the end of the month to enter their challenges, so this extra time should allow me to play more often! I coloured the image with Copics and for the strip of embossed cardstock, I inked up the embossing folder with brown ink to achieve the two coloured effect.

Challenges Entered:

PaperWorks - Sketch #85

Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge - Embossing

Paper and Such - Inspiration Challenge

Beautiful Silver Fairy

Normally I don't like to use digi stamps as much as the rubber, but when I saw some of the new images from Wee Stamps I just HAD to make an exception! This one is called Silver Fairy and she's so gorgeous and super fun to colour. I coloured her with Copics and added stickles to her wings to make then sparkle. I used the Sketch from Sweet Sketch Wednesday, but I reversed it.

Challenges Entered:

Sweet Sketch Wednesday - Sketch

Paper Sundaes - Girly Girl

Charisma Cardz - Pink & Green

Cute Card Thursday - Birthstones (Ruby & Peridot)

Stamp Something - Pretty Papers

Bunny Zoe's Crafts - Fairies

An Easter Card for the in-laws

I made this Easter card for my in-laws and I used this cute Tilda Carrying Lamb stamp. I get most of my Magnolia stamps from Magnolia-Licious and I must admit that I have a lot of them! They are just too darn cute and addictive :) I am entering this card in their Easter/Spring card contest found HERE.

I used Echo Park Paper from PaperWorks and the Copics I used are: B97, B95, B93, B91, C3, C1, C00, E35, E00, E000, R20, Y23, Y04, Y00, Y0000, YR23

Happy Birthday Sir Tony

Here's a card I made for my son's 6th birthday. I used the cute medieval stamps from Whiff of Joy and have also entered this card in their "Anything Goes" Challenge.

I inked the background behind the castle using Close to My Heart Inks and I coloured both images with Copic markers. The Spellbinders dies used are the Wonky Squares.

Copics used: E39, E35, E33, E11, E00, E000, BG99, BG96, BG93, Y23, YR23, C00, C1, C3, C4, C5, B16, B14, B12, Y02

Something for a boy

Today is my nephew's birthday and he is big into video games, so I thought this stamp from the Greeting Farm would make a perfect card for him. I decided to do a simple layout and just add a few buttons as embellishments.

Copics used: B91, B95, B97, BG000, BG10, BG45, BG49, C00, C2, C4, E000, E00, E11, E25, E29, E31, W1, W3, W5.

I'm also entering this in this weeks Paper Sundaes challenge to use stripes.

Can't wait for Spring!!

I made this card using the latest PaperWorks Sketch and also using one of their new cute stamps! This is from the Abigail C set. The paper is from the Basic Grey Marjolaine collection, which may be one of my new favorites :)

Awww, super cute!

Check out this new Digi Company! They make some really cute stamps, I can't wait to see more :) They just opened up shop yesterday, be sure to find out more HERE.

I finally had time to play!!

So here's my first card since November :) I decided to play with my Japanese Tilda stamp and make a nice bright cheerful card to share with you all since my long creative absence. I added some sparkle to Tilda's flowers with pink stickles, but they don't show in the photo. I also inked the edges with CTMH Bubblegum ink. The shape I used is a Spellbinders Labels 14. I coloured with Copics and the paper is from the Basic Grey Lemonade collection.

I also created this card so that I could play along in the following challenges:

Magnolia Stamp Lovers - Pastels

Paper Sundaes - Pick your toppings (Pink, Flowers & Distressing)

Just Magnolia - Sketch

Totally Tilda Challenges - How does your garden grow

I'm still alive!

I bet some of you are wondering what the heck happened to me! Well I have found that since becoming pregnant I just haven't had the energy to craft in the evenings like I used to :(

I am really missing it though and have even managed to

create a few scrapbook LOs (no pics to share though, sorry). Anyway, I am determinded to get creative this weekend, so stay tuned because I just might have something to show for it posted here soon!!

In the meantime I just had to share with you the new collection from PWCO that was just released yesterday. Aren't they adorable! You can get the whole set for $33.75, or $6.25 each one. You can find them HERE

And in case you wanted to see some amazing examples using these stamps by the PWCO DT, check out the blog hop they had starting HERE.
