With Love

Hi everyone and Happy Tuesday!  I'm so excited to be back to crafting and back on my DTs.  This is my first post back as a Crafty Sentiments Designs DT member in quite a while and I'm so grateful to the team for putting up with my absence for so long.  The new challenge is up over at the Crafty Sentiments Designs Challenge Blog and the challenge this week is Anything Goes (easy peasy).  Head on over to the blog to check out the amazing DT creations and then join in the challenge!  Here's my card:

For my card today, I just had to ink up this gorgeous image called Sweet 16.  I of course colored her with copics.  Here are the colors I used:

Skin: E000, E00, E21, E11, E04, R20
Hair: E53, E25, E29
Pinks: R81, R83, R85, R89
Blues: BG000, BG01, BG05, BG09

I created my card base out of SU cardstock. My DP is from MME. The swirls were made with a Memory Box die.  I added a bow and some roses from Wild Orchid Crafts.  The sentiment is from an old clear set.  What do you think?

Well, that's it from me today.  Thanks so much as always for stopping by.  I'm so excited to be back to crafting on a more regular basis :)  Can't wait to make my way around to all your fabulous blogs.  Huge hugs!

SCACD Showcase Day

Hi everyone and Happy Monday!  I'm so sorry I haven't been around much lately.  Work and life have kept me out of the craft room I'm afraid.  However, when my friend Susana of Susana's Custom Art and Card Design (SCACD) asked me to participate in a showcase of some brand new digi images, I just had to say yes :) 

 

SCACD has released 15 NEW Digital Images designed by Carmen Medlin for SCACD. There is a bit of something for everyone in this release. Some fantasy, steampunk, wonderland, curiosities and animals to love. You can find just the right image for that creative spark of yours and let your inner artist out to play.

 

 

For my card today, I was lucky enough to get to use this gorgeous digital image called Owl's Song.  I of course colored her with copics.  The gorgeous DP is from an old Authentique pad.  To check out all the adorable new digis, click HERE.  Thanks so much as always for stopping by!

 

SCACD Elements Rubber Stamp Blog Hop

Hi everyone and happy Monday!  It feels so nice to be back and able to share a crafty project with you today.  I'm returning to crafting very slowly but I'm so excited to be back.  I have a very special project to share with you today. 

 

SCACD is releasing four rubber stamps which are collectively called The Elements Collection. The inspiration for them is by all that is going on in nature at the moment. Thoughts of water, wind, fire and earth so powerful in nature captured in these women through collaboration with SCACD Artist Carmen Medlin.

The fab SCACD Design Team along with amazing Guests Designers has created an inspiring hop showcasing the new SCACD rubber stamps.  If you got here from Cheryl's Blog, then you are in the right place.  If you missed part of the hop list or get lost along the way, then check out all the details at the Store Blog!  Here is my project:

 

 

This gorgeous image is called Wind and is now available, along with the rest of the new release, in the USA HERE. SCACD Digital images for USA and International can always be found HERE.  

For locating SCACD rubber stamps, including the New Release, our International Friends please check out Quixotic Paperie HERE!!! 

Thanks so much for hopping with us today. Your next stop on the hop is the super talented Delphine.  Have a fabulous day and huge hugs to you all :)

I'm Still Here

Hi everyone! :)  I just wanted to check in and let you all know that I'm still here :)  I have taken this month off from crafting while I deal with a few health issues (no worries, I'm very blessed that it's nothing serious).  My DTs have been wonderful in accommodating this and I will be back in April with tons of new projects.  Thanks for sticking with me and for your emails of concern.  I love you all and will see you next month :)

My second card today is my DT card for Inky Impressions.  The new challegne is up over at the Inky Impressions Challenge Blog.  Our challenge this week was to create a card using only black and white.  Here's my card:

I decided to keep this card simple and elegant so I just printed off this adorable Angelic Friend Sentiment and then created my card.  What do you think?

Well, that's it from me today.  Thanks so much as always for stopping by.
