Daisy Baby….

Sweet, sweet Daisy Baby from the Cuddle Crew HERE NOW… COMING Monday, Oct. 4th to All That Scraps.com

I was a little leary about coloring this…I don’t have much for animal coloring experience…but..I actually enjoyed it and now I love her!  She charmed her way right into my stamp collection!  We’re breast-feeding fans around here but I’ll let the bottle get in for cuteness factor! lol

The All That Scraps Design Team gals are previewing Daisy Baby HERE and Free Wheelin’ Wally HERE from the artist Marina Neira.  Just the cutest images… can’t wait to color Wally too!

I don’t know what color pink to tell you this is… I had to recolor and recolor trying to match the card-stock and ended up here and remaking the card with this Prism pink card-stock…. *sigh*  What in the world?!  Pink?  not for me I guess!  or next time the pink will be painted with distress inks!   Daisy,  what I thought was going to be hard was the easiest!!!  She’s the E30’s  with R30 and R20 for her snout and cheeks… do cows have snouts or just pigs?  oops!  I was raised in the city…gave that away! lol  Martha Stewart around the page punch set… the swiss dots cuttlebug embossing folder HERE and the BABY sentiment is HERE.  The button brads are by Making Memories.

I followed the sketch from Papertake Weekly Challenge blog….one of the cards was my inspiration for sure!

Thanks for stopping by and hit the ATS blog for some smiles!  oh, and a post isn’t complete from me unless there’s some over the top enabling, right?!  Well… if you check the clearance at All That Scraps HERE,  you will find a lot of images reduced to sell and some of them are by this artist!  So…. have fun shopping!  *grin*

Fun News and Take a Seat Emma and Trevor…

The new issue, Cozy Autumn Magnolia Ink magazine arrived in my mailbox yesterday… I flipped through it thinking I’d be back later to examine…stopped to read the last page Notice board and my eye moved over to the inside back cover and lo and behold,  THERE WAS ONE OF MY CARDS!!!!  I’m sure you could have heard my jaw hit the floor! lol   If you don’t have the magazine,  some of the online stores are showing it in the picture for their pre-orders of the next Christmas issue…HERE is the post on my blog with the card.  I’m still pinching myself and chuckling out-loud now and then! 

I have a card to share with you today.  Rose Emma and Sitting Trevor from the Take a Seat Kit.

Emma and Trevor are stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored with Copic Sketch Markers.  I used Beckett Expression 80# card-stock for stamping and coloring on for this card. The pattern paper is from American Crafts.  I used some Bazzill card-stock to make the rolled roses. (punched 1  3/4 in. and 1  1/4 in. circles, cut them into swirls and rolled them up)  The leaves are a new Magnolia die… isn’t it cool!  It’s called Bon Voyage Foliage. The sentiment is from a CC Designs Cookie Crumbs Country Shelf set.

My other Take A Seat Kit cards are HERE, HERE, HERE and HERE.   

I love this sentiment,  so I’ll close by retyping it here… “Live with a happy heart”  Thanks for stopping by!
