Eat dessert first???

When I create ATC’s I try to have them say “something”… today the All That Scraps Design Team is previewing a new CC Designs Amy R. Sentiment set called “Sassy Sentiments”… it will be available HERE on Nov. 1st.   I LOVE all these sets!  I can always find something to use that fits what I need at the moment.

So my humor is a little wacky here… but if you know me you know I don’t eat much for dessert…fruit,  but only around the holidays or for birthdays do we have dessert.  So it’s true but only the top sentiment is part of the set,  I wrote the bottom part…next I need an alphabet set with the font Amy used! lol  I love this handwriting!  To see more sentiments from the set… click on over to the All That Scraps blog for all the wonderful DT creations with sentiments from this new Sassy Sentiments set!  AND…. add you name to Mr. Linky for a chance to win this set!

I also used the new Sugarplums Cookie girl… she’ll be available Nov. 1st, HERE also. Scroll down to yesterday’s post when you go to the ATS blog and you’ll see more of the Nov. Sugarplums release… Cookie, Daydream and a stool!

Winter Whimsy….

Today the All That Scraps Design Team is previewing the NEW Sweet November images, drawn by Amy Young, as part of CC Designs November release.  This is Darby… she’s a heart melter and a snowflake/Winter lover!!!  I created an ATC,  Artist Trading Card, a small little palette to really focus on Darby in her Winter wonderland.  An ATC is 2.5 x 3.5 inches in size,  my photo should be the exact size here…fun to add to the ATC collection.  I wish you could all stop in and see my ATC collection!  I’ve been trading since July of 2005 and I have the grandest cards from all over the world!  So fun,  I don’t get near as much trading done since I started coloring again though… seems you can’t do everything! boo!  I’m heading to an “in person” swap Sat.a.m. and need some atc’s to swap,  so I’m coloring ATC’s this week!  If you’re anywhere near Des Moines, Iowa Sat. a.m.,  Join us!!!

Darby comes with an accessory stamp,  a bird named “Pudge”!  Cute!  Darby and her friend Penelope will be available to purchase in rubber and as a digital image on November 1st. HERE

Check out all the awesome creations by the Design Team,  HERE.  Link up for a chance to win Darby and Penelope!

Darby is inked with Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Paper Trey Ink card-stock and colored with Copic Sketch Markers.  Skin – E000, 00, 01, 21,  Hair – E30, 31, 57, 59,  Eyes – B21, 23,  Reds – R24, E07,  Greens – G40, G85, Background – BG0000, 000, 01.

The sentiment is from Amy R’s  Holiday Greetings set, HERE.

I used Hero Arts smallest crystal gems on the flakes and at her neckline.  The pompoms and cuffs have flower soft white and lace frost stickles on them.  The snowflakes have lace frost stickles on them.

I’m linking my Darby ATC to the Creative Belli challenge blog – use flocking or flower soft!  I used the polar white flower soft on Darby.

Monday I posted an enabler alert HERE… looks like the sale might still be going on! If you “need” anything….hehe… hurry over from my links and save!

Thanks everyone!

Happy Winter Antoinette….

KKJan10

Antoinette from Kraftin’ Kimmie stamps…I purchased this whimsical skater girl well before Christmas but this is the first I’ve stamped and colored her. I have a skater girl weakness… I will still be in the Winter “mode” for awhile because I have a bunch of snowmen that have never been inked too!

Well, I added bling again..woohoo…the Zva Creative flourishes are really easy to use! I’m impressed! I have a package of the pearl kind to try next!  I know,  I’m still stuck on this Basic Grey Eskimo Kisses paper too… I love it!  Snowflake punch is from Stampin UP.  Icicle punch is a border punch from EK Success… I used the actual punch out part,  I liked it better! lol  This time anyway.  Bazzill and Stampin Up card-stock.  The white I used is Neenah Classic Crest Super smooth.  Antoinette is inked with Memento Tuxedo Black ink, colored with Copic Sketch markers,  photo of markers used below and cut out with Oval Nestabilities dies. Crystal Ice Stickles on the snowflake and Polar White Flower Soft on her ear muffs and dress. The sentiment is from Savvy Stamps 723B Happy Winter, stamped with Versafine Onyx Black ink. Holler at me if I forgot something.  I created a column to the right in the sidebar listing the tools that I use every-time I stamp.  Amazing how I keep thinking of more tools to add to the list! lol

Saturday Spotlight challenge this week,  “Bigger is Better”….well,  look at the size of that snowflake! lol  They always have fun challenges!  Thanks Vicki and SS team!

A Spoon Full of Sugar challenge this week is “Freestyle” (anything you like)….well,  that’s easy!  Thank you Debbie and Nikki!
