Hello Everyone and Happy Labor Day for all in the US. If you have the day off today I hope you are enjoying your long weekend! Well I'm actually enjoying one full week of vacation. Hubby and I decided last week that it is time for a break and some much needed R&R. So all my posts going up this week are scheduled and I will be back next week! Time for my first Halloween card of the season. One of just a few as I'm not making too many of them. This is a sweet little Gojuss girl availbale at Susana's store HERE . It's not a particular Halloween stamp and I actually colored her already quite some time ago with a complete different theme in mind. When I decided to make a Halloween card I added the little spider and the web. This is a stamp I found last year at Michaels in the $1 section. I colored her using Copics. DP is from Bo Bunny's Garden Girl Collection also available at Susana's store HERE . The banner die is from Whimsy , sentiment is a ...

Happy TGIF everyone and thanks for visiting me today! Blowing bubbles! Didn't you like that when you were a child?! I loved it, especially inside the house and  my mom was going crazy...LOL ;-) The image I used for my card today is another Elisabeth Bell beauty called 'Bubbles' and available as stamp from SCACD . I stamped her with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink on Iridescent Cryogen White paper and colored her with my Copics. The DP is from Basic Grey and the sentiment stamp is from a clear stamp set from Fiskars. I added Stickles Diamond to set some highlights on the flowers and image and Crystal Glaze to give the bubbles a perfect shine. I'm also entering this card into 3 challenges: SCACD : Where you have to create an invitation. Paper Romance:    It's a sketch challenge. Cute Card Thursday:   Color challenge: black, blue orange On the following picture you can see the nice shine the bubbles got : A quick reminder: Dont forget to enter my CANDY!!! ...

Hello friends and a Happy Thursday! Wow where has the week gone, can't believe it's Thursday already! Today it is going to be a very hot day here so I have to get all my chores and errands done early and will keep this post short. My card today shows another super cute image from the very talented Elisabeth Bell . This one is available through Susanas Custom Art and Card Designs and it's called 'Little Suzanne'. This is also my entry for the SCACD Try it out Tuesday challenge which is a sketch this week. I colored my image using Copics (a picture of Copics used is at the end of the posting). DP is from Basic Greys new collection Chapelle and my CS is Martha Stewart. The beautiful fabric flower on top of my ribbon is one of the gorgeous embellies that were included in the candy I won recently from Elise   :-) and now she is one of my new DT sisters at Belles 'n Whistles ...YAY! For the corner decorations I used a Cuttlebug die and glossy CS.  The Spellinders ...

Hello & Happy Tuesday Friends! I think 'Little Dianne' looks like she is having lots of fun riding her scooter, what do you think? I colored this Victoria Case image from Susana's shop using my Copics. I also used this weeks sketch from Sketch Saturday to create my card.  I also tried a new Copic technique...well new to me because I haven't tried it before. I used the Copic feather technique on the little girls shirt and parts of the scooter (vertical part of the handlebar). I blended together the colors orange and pink and violet and lime green using this technique. I have to say I love this technique and blending together opposite colors. That is so much fun and you can achieve amazing effects. I guess you'll see more of this technique very soon here on my blog...lol. The papers I've used are from Basic Grey's Green at Heart collection. Sentiment is from The Cutting Cafe and the die used under the Sentiment is from Nellie Snellen. I also used butt...
