Jilly’s Candle and a cupcake kind of day!

Jilly’s excited about another birthday!  Like all kids, she loves candles!  Jilly’s Candle is one of the NEW Birthday Fairwees from Sweet November in the CC Designs January release at All That Scraps.com.   Today is Tuesday Review day on the All That Scraps blog, HERE…more fabulous creations from the Design Team gals.

I stamped Jilly with Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Hammermill 80# Color Copy Cover and colored her with Copic Sketch Markers.  I really like this card-stock…super smooth,  colors blend and it’s easy to fussy cut too!   She’s a cutie and fun to color too!

Stamps and Such…

Thanks for stopping by to celebrate!  I sure hope to get more stamping done this week… it’s a busy birthday month around here!  Take care!

January Birthday Review day…

I colored up little Daphne’s Balloons from CC Designs Sweet November Fairwees Birthday collection for today’s post.   She’s hangin’ on so cute…lovin’ those balloons!  Kids and balloons… Tim’s mom loves to give the grands balloons and they love them too…they make me so nervous! Pinching and poking makes me sure they will pop! lol  The new Party Time Logos in the CC Designs January release are so cool!  Be sure to check them out!  I have something I want to try with one of them but not sure it’s gonna work yet…

Daphne is stamped on Hammermill Color Copy Cover 80# paper with Memento Tuxedo black ink and colored with Copic Sketch markers.  Her hair is E23, 25, 27 and 29;  her face is E000,00,11, R20,22; her wings are BG00, 01;  her dress is E81, 87, R24, 27, 29.  Balloons are YR12, 04, 07 and W1 over the top and R 24, 27, 29, 59 and W5 over the top.

I used the tops of the CCD Cutters Mistletoe die for the tree tops.  Added a little foliage “look” with Copics YG93 and 95.  The pattern paper I used is from Simple Stories Happy Day 6×6  pad.  I love the pad but they are sure different colors to photograph…bet it was just that orange throwin’ me off kilter!  eek! lol  It’s really not fluorescent IRL!

Monkey Zoo celebrates!

Are you smiling?  This little monkey is new for CC Designs January release and called Monkey Zoo.  Comes with it’s own birthday sentiment too!  I was washing up a few pans, thinking…wanting something fun to create with this cutie and thought circus tent!  Well,  sure enough,  googled and found this card HERE.  So cute and easy to piece together too!

I printed Heidi’s pattern and then held it behind my pattern paper by my desk light so I could see through it to cut it out.  To make the card I used a piece of card-stock scored at folded at 4 1/4 in. wide.  I held the tent base piece on top of the folded card and cut on the tent pattern sides.  Adhered it to the tent top.  I used a toothpick on the top to hold the flag and bead.  On the back I cut a piece of card-stock the same color as the folded card and glued it over the top so that the back side is all covered and the same color.  Cute!  Easy too.

and from the front…

When I was in grade school…one of the gals in our class had a pet monkey!  Crazy….I’m not much of an animal lover, so of course I didn’t hold it!  eek! lol  They are entertaining in the zoo, that’s for sure!

Thanks for your visit and comments….I appreciate it!
