Goodbye to Summer

Hi everyone and Happy Tuesday! :) I have a super quick posting for you today as I have to get to work early for a meeting. It's finally starting to get cooler here so sadly, it's time to say goodbye to summer :( At least we have the beauty of fall to look forward to, even if it means I'll have to dig out my sweaters :) For my card today, I decided to ink up a sweet summery image with which to say goodbye to summer with. This particular image is illustrated by Victoria Case and is available HERE from Susana's Custom Art and Card Design. I colored the image with copics and then I shaded around the image with SU's Bashful Blue ink. Next I created my card base out of SU cardstock. My DP is from MME. For some finishing touches I added a bow (tied with my Bow Easy), Primas, roses from Wild Orchid Crafts, and dew drops. What do you think?

Well, that's it from me today. Thanks so much for stopping by and have a wonderful day! :)

Hey Girlfriend

Hi Everyone and Happy Friday! :) My husband and I are back from our amazing vacation to Charleston, SC. Wow, what a beautiful city!! I did not want to leave, it is truly gorgeous and so full of history too (hubby and I are both history majors so we love anything historical :) ). In my next post, I'll share some pictures of Charleston with you. For today, I have a quick and easy card I put together before I left for vacation, but didn't have time to post it.




For my card, I decided to ink up this adorable image illustrated by Victoria Case and available at Susana's Custom Art and Card Design. This image is called Sweet Whispers and I think this image is so sweet. I colored the image with copics and added some Stardust Stickles for some shine. Next I created my card base out of SU cardstock. My DP is from MME. For some finishing touches, I added pearls, a bow, and roses from Wild Orchid Crafts. What do you think?

I hope you have all had a wonderful week. I'm a little behind on leaving comments and visiting your lovely blogs so I'll get caught up this weekend. Thanks so much for stopping by.

Hi everyone and Happy Thursday! :) I hope you are all having a wonderful day and a wonderful week. Is this image on my card today not the sweetest?!?! :) I fell in love with with it right away. The image is illustrated by the wonderful Victoria Case and is available at Susana's Custom Art and Card Design (find it HERE). I colored the image with copics (greens: G21, G24, G28; pinks: RV21, RV23, RV25; skin: E00, E11, E13, RV21; hair: E33, E35, E37). I then sponged around the image with SU's Pretty in Pink ink and then added Glossy Accents to her eyes. Next I created my card base out of SU cardstock (Regal Rose and Always Artichoke). The DP is from MME. For some finishing touches, I added dew drops, a bow (tied with my awesome Bow Easy) and a rose from Wild Orchid Crafts. What do you think?

Well, I must run to work. Thank you all so much for stopping by. I hope you have a wonderful day :)

You are my Sunshine

Hi everyone and Happy Saturday! I'm SO sorry I haven't posted in so long. I've been feeling a bit run down lately and that coupled with moving up to a different position at work and going through training has left little time for crafting the last few weeks (don't get me wrong, I am SO excited about my new position, it's just a lot of work and a lot of learning). It felt so good to get back into the craft room last night :) I've missed all your beautiful blogs and will be getting caught up on comments this weekend.




For my card today, I wanted to create a bright, fun, summery card. I decided to use this adorable image illustrated by Victoria Case and available at Susana's Custom Art and Card Design. This particular image is called By the Sea and I think she's absolutely adorable. I colored the image with copics and then added Stardust Stickles to the flowers on her cap and the ripples in the water. Next, I sponged around the image with SU's Bashful Blue ink. I then cut the image out using my circle nestabilities. Next I created my card base out of SU cardstock. The DP is from MME. I added blue pearls to the corners, a bow, roses from Wild Orchid Crafts, and dew drops for some finishing touches. The sentiment is from an old Studio G set. What do you think?

I'm hoping to get back to a regular posting schedule soon. I am in training for the rest of this month and we are also taking a vacation to Charleston, South Carolina at the end of the month (I'm SO excited!!! :) ), so posting might be a little light, but I'm going to try to keep up. Thanks so much for stopping by. Have a wonderful day and a wonderful weekend!

Hello Friend

Hi everyone and Happy Tuesday! I hope all had a wonderful weekend and that your week is off to a great start. I have a quick post for you today, I've got lots to get done at work so I better make this quick.




For my card today, I inked up this super cute image by Victoria Case for Susana's Custom Art and Card Design. This image is called Little Aud and I think she's super cute. I colored the image with copics and then cut it out with my circle nestabilities. While the image was still in the nestability, I sponged around the image with SU's Bashful Blue ink. Next I added Glossy Accents to her eyes and Stardust Stickles to the flowers. I next created my card base out of SU cardstock (Bashful Blue and Perfect Plum). The design paper is from MME (Penny Lane collection). For some finishing touches, I added blue dew drops and roses from Wild Orchid Crafts. What do you think?

Well, that's it from me today. Thank you so much for stopping by! Have a wonderful day! :)

Hey Girlfriend

Hi everyone and Happy Monday :) I hope you had a wonderful weekend and that your week is off to a great start. I have a super quick post for you today (Mondays are always super busy) :)




For my card today, I decided to ink up this adorable image by Victoria Case for Susana's Custom Art and Card Design. This particular image is called Aud and I think she's just adorable. I colored her with copics and then cut her out. I cut the ovals out with my oval nesties and ran the top oval through the cuttlebug using my Swiss Dots embossing folder. Next I created my card base out of SU cardstock (Basic Black and Regal Rose). The design paper is from Making Memories. The sentiment is from an old Hanna Stamps set and I cut it out with my SU Word Window Punch. For some finishing touches, I added a ribbon and bow, a purse charm, Primas, and roses from Wild Orchid Crafts. What do you think?

Well, that's it from me today. I hope you all have a wonderful day and thanks so much for stopping by.
