I know this seems more of a Spring Time card but I couldn't help it! I love this little singing bird! The image is from www.therubbercafe.com
I used my WWC's form SU! to watercolor this beautiful singing bird. I used one of my CB embossing folders to texturize the card front. The wide stain ribbon is from one texasjodylynn's wonderful ribbon shares! The narrrow sparkly ribbon is from American Crafts and was a gift from a secret friend on SCS
Thanks for Looking!

I was fortunate enough to be gifted some stamped images of the new set from MFT, Hey Chica. My good friend Karen, aka: Gamblemom sent me these fantastic stamped images to use. I sat down last night and my 2 daughters and I colored and collaborated on this card...we had so much fun! My girls really like this image!! We colored her with copic markers. Most of mine are the original cpoics and I only have a few. This image would be great with Prisma pencils or even watercoloring....the possibilities ae endless here. We added a thin line of glitter from a glitter gel pen to her eyelids. We used designer Paper from K-ology.

Stamp set: MFT Hey Chica
Paper: cs from Stampin Up! and designer paper from K-ology
Accessories: Copic markers, grosgrain ribbon, Prima fower

Another simple card tonight. I love doing emboss resist. It has to be one my all time fave techniques. I stamped the blossoms with versamark and embossed with clear EP on glossy white cs. I sponged on some color with daubers. I added some leaves using craft ink. I added some deeper purple color using craft ink over the top of the embossing. i used my heat tool to dry the craft ink which in turn re-melted the clear EP and kind of just melded all of the color together. I went light on accessories because I really like the main image. I did the cracked glass technique over the sentiment.

Stamps: Blossoms Abound by Stampin' Up!
Paper: All cs sed is by Stampin' Up!
Accessories: Ribbon (texasjodylynn), Booster (texasjodylynn) clear EP
Ink: versamark, Stampin' Up! craft inks

I am going to my cousins house for a gathering tonight and a celebration for her birthday so I started last night making a little gift to take to her today. This is what I came up with, round coasters adhered to wide twill and chipboard letters that spell 'HOME'
I inked the letters first with Rose Red ink and then went back over them with Chocolate Chip ink.
I covered the coasters with paper made by Prima. I adhered the letters to the coasters and the coasters to the twill using sticky dots from Jody's sticky share...get in on one of these shares you won't regret it! I added some brown and pink ribbons at the top and some raffia to cascade down. There are Prima flowers with swarovski crystals in the middle. Hope she likes it!

What to do when every where you look there are tons of new cute Halloween stamps and you can't afford to buy any???
Well you turn to your daughter who is in advanced art at school and say can you please draw me something cute for Halloween??? Then you get online and pull up all kinds of clipart and Halloween images from all over the web, along with stamp catalogs and the like and start looking for inspiration. Then you both sit down with pencil paper and start doodling...this is what we came up with so far. I drew the witch hat while at work the other day, My DD drew the mummy, he is still big even after being reduced. I drew the cauldron while sitting around the house.


I scanned our images into the PC and opened up photoshop elements and re-sized to what I thought would work for cards, then I printed them out using an inkjet printer on white cs. I cut them and colored the images with prisma pencils and/or copic markers.
These drawings were inspired by a multitude of other images not just 1 or 2...they are original and not traced or copied. Thanks for looking!
The sentiments were printed from my PC using fonts I found on the net for free at dafont
