Happy Happy Wednesday (Thursday) My Sweet Friends Today I am sharing a Design Team project I created using this adorable image from Artist Sherri Baldy.  I made a gift bag out of cardstock and then used the finished image on the front of the bag.  I had no idea what I was doing to make a bag but it was actually quite easy.   I am afraid the bow looks scrunched and it's because I had to scan it due to it pouring rain outside.  The bag measures 6" x 9".   Here'e the link to this image in Sherri's Shop: Image 384 and here's the link to Sherri's Shop: Bestie Shop This little cutie was a joy to color.  I just love her outfit.  I used two dies to create the background behind this image.  I did fussy cut her out so she would fit on the base of the smaller scalloped circle. I used the following Copic Colors: E000, 00, 11, 13 B00, 02 C0, 01 G40, 41, 43, 46 R20, 89 Thanks so much for stopping by and your c...

Today I am sharing a card I created using this FAB new image from Artist Sandra Caldwell.   This image can be found in Sandra's Etsy Shop and is called:   Snowed In Trailer This trailer reminds me of so many happy childhood memories of camping and enjoy the gorgeous outdoors.  Of course, we never did camp in the winter.   To create this card I decided to do some paper-pieceing on the trailer.  I colored the top of the trailer with Copics.  I used the following Copic Colors: C3, 5, 7 YG95, 97, 99 I used the Snow Marker to create the snow.

Happy Monday Sweet Friends My goodness it's the final day of October and this year is almost over.  Time passes way to quickly. Today I am sharing my Design Team Card for the Classic Design Team Challenge that is now underway through November 27th.  Our sponsor this month is the talented artist Morgan Fitzsimmon owner of Morgan's Art World on Facebook. The image I am using is called "Orchis Last Enchanter."  I think she's a gorgeous image and to be quite honest I was intimidated to color her.  I desperately wanted to do her justice.  It took several attempts at coloring her before I was pretty happy with the results.  She's really a great image to work with and she's actually one of my most favorite digi's.   I made some flowers with one of my flower die cuts.  I absolutely love these flowers and will be making many more in the future. Here is the link to Morgan's Facebook Group: Morgan's Art World   I hope you will che...

Happy Happy Sunday Sweet Friends Today I am sharing a DT card I made yesterday that was just a hoot to create.  I had so much fun and love how it turned out.  If you haven't seen Annabel's adorably sweet images of Kitty's you just might want to check them out.  The links are below: This image can be found here: Home is Where The Cat Is   (on Etsy) and here are the links to her FB page and her Etsy Shop: Eeker's on Etsy   (Etsy Shop) Knitty Kitty Digi's on Facebook I really wanted to do something silly with this card.  These images just make me smile and I think it kind of brings out the child in me.  I wanted to use different colors to color everything and yet have it all be coordinated as much as possible.  I used a brick stencil to create the background and wanted it to be light enough to help the images pop out more.  I created the asphalt using several different shades of gray.  The colors I used are:...
