Hello Friend!

Today I am sharing a card I made using a digital image from Wee Stamps that are illustrated by Sylvia Zet. This image is just so sweet and puts me right in the mood for spring!!!


The diecut used around the image is from Papertrey Ink - Brushed Off Rectangle Die. I also used Stitched Rectangle Frame from My Creative Time. The patterned paper is from My Mind's Eye and the white cardstock base is Papertrey Ink.

I used my Copics to color the image on X-press It Blending Card. I am grateful for all I have learned from Kit and Clowder's Skin and Hair online class. It has helped immensely. Next on my to do list is the Clothing Class.

So glad you were able to drop by!

You can also find me on Instagram here.

You Slay Me - MFT Sketch Challenge 373

Hey, all, it has been a little while! I have been taking a bit of a break from actual cardmaking and have just been working on practicing my coloring with Copics. And I am happy to say that I have also been building up my Copic Color Stash!!! So much Copic fun!

Today I do have a card to share though for this week's Sketch Challenge 373 over at My Favorite Things. I have used BB Magical Dragons and the Radiating Rays stencil. Thank you to Joy for my inspiration this week using a stencil to give the scene a background.


The sentiment - You Slay Me - is my favorite from the set. Just makes me smile!

I used the following Copic colors:
Dragon: B99, B97, B95, B93
Knight: C9, C5, C3, C1, B97, B95, B93

Salty Ocean Distress Oxide Ink was used with the stencil.

Thanks for stopping by!

There's No Business, Like Snow Business!

Hey, everyone! Happy Tuesday to you!

This week the Die Cuttin' Diva's are doing a Snowflake Theme Challenge. And as their Guest Diva, I have this cute set to share with you!


For my Die Cuts, I have used the Stitched Rectangular Frame Dies and More from My Creative Time and the Luggage Tag Dies from Jaded Blossom.


To go along with the Snowflake theme, I have used the Inkadinkado Christmas Characters stamp set. I picked this set up at Hobby Lobby for what seems like years ago and I'm excited to have finally used it. This little snowman is just adorable! 

I hope you will join the Die Cuttin' Divas team as well this week for some Snowflake fun. There are lots of sweet crafters on that Design Team and they have lots of inspiration to share.

Love You Dragon! MFT Sketch Challenge #367!

Well, it is my intention to join in on all 30 Days of the Daily Marker 30 Day Coloring Challenge! This is my Day 2 project. Sometimes I will only be coloring something up to get in a bit of practice and it will be posted on my Instagram page - here. Othertimes I will take what I have colored and add it to a card or other project as I have today.

I am also excited that I will be able to enter this into the My Favorite Things Sketch Challenge #367. At first, I was a bit intimidated by this sketch, but I was determined to tackle it and (I think) it came out fantastic! I think this card will be my daughter's for Valentine's Day and I know she will love it too. These little dragons by MFT are some of my and her favorites!


I have also used the Rectangle Peek-a-boo Window from MFT. 

Hope you have enjoyed this card as much as I have. Have a great week! I get another day out of school today due to really cold weather and I am not complaining - or at least I won't be until all of the school staff and students are attending make-up days at the beginning of summer break. Hehe!

Charming Friend Castle Card!

Hey, Crafty Friends. Back with my first card of the New Year.

I decided that I would try the MFT Color Challenge #84.


Here are the Challenge Colors:


I am a fan of a blue, yellow, and orange color palette, so I was excited about this one. I used the Castle dies, some free Cloud dies, and the Magical Dragons stamps from My Favorite Things.

Hoping to join in on more Color Challenges this year.
