There were seven of us yesterday at the in person swap in Des Moines…a fun time was had by all! hehe I took a few atc’s to swap and these are the ones I got in return…great stuff! Thanks gals!!!
Then shopping after…can you even believe how many clear stamp sets there are anymore! and punches! and paper!!! Wonderful! I love the clear stamps for the little extra stamp “touches” here and there. Wood mounted stamps, I hope they never go away…something about “first” love! lol
I just had to jump right in for the Just Magnolia challenge blog this week…A GREAT PRIZE…oh, I hope I win! Thinking maybe it helps your chances if you just come right out and say that…I better go back to yesterday’s post! haha
Trying my hand at a sketch again…ugh! Am I the only one?????? I get all done thinking I’ve done a grand job and immediately I want to tear it apart! WHAT?!!! I wish I’d put a mat behind the music piece and I’m sure there were a couple other things too…but I’m trying to exercise self-control and leave it alone!
Here’s a close up of this charming extra pink cheeked Tilda!!! lol
The Making Memories paper was still out from yesterday…May Arts ribbon…Prima flowers…Making Memories tree button (old)….Amuse Art stamps sentiment…background stamp on oval behind Tilda is from Stampington Christmas Elements clear set…the music paper is from the Cosmo Cricket new holiday 6×6 pad and the gold brads are from Making Memories.
Oops, better not forget the good ‘ole Bazzill cardstock…love that stuff!!! Have a great weekend!
I’m trying not to talk about the weather!!! lol
Here’s an umbrella for me! Some of you know, I love umbrellas…can’t be caught without one!
Yes, even in the Winter in the snow! So I identify with this cute Winter Wonderland girl from Sugar Nellie! I am playing in the Sugar Bowl Challenge this time! So fun and I liked the sketch. The other requirement is to use lace…well, I just happen to still have this package of paper lace from K & company. Love it! She is colored with copic sketch markers (link to shop copic in the sidebar) and I used Making Memories pattern paper, Cat’s Life Press Merry Christmas stamp, Nestabalities frame die, Prima leaves, Paper Studio red brads and the heart button is from Doodlebug I think!
Here’s a close up of my Winter Wonderland girl….
It’s rainy here today, so I did have to use my umbrella. It has been a really rainy year here in Iowa…but I’ve already told you that in every other post! ugh! sorry…night!
Inky Impressions Challenge this week is a sketch….here’s my take on it.
and here’s the sketch…
Be sure to take a look at the challenge blog….lots of blondes this week…hehe
I used Angelica Heartsocks from Inky Impressions. The pattern papers are Lemonade from Basic Grey. Border punch by Martha Stewart. Flowers are an old Brenda Walton punch by All Night Media. And…the circles & label are nestabilities dies. Thanks for coming by! Hope you get time to stamp and color today!
Busy Emma…I’m sure she’s thinking of creative things to do with all her pumpkins! She was very fun to color. She is a CC Designs stamp. The falling leaves and pumpkins are from there also.
I’m entering this card for the create a scene challenge on the Saturday Spotlight blog.
I colored her with copic sketch markers….well, I have some Tria alcohol markers and I used those for her flesh tones this time. The Fall sentiment is a new Hero Arts wood mount stamp. The fence border punch is from Martha Stewart. Pumpkin brads from Making Memories. The pattern paper is an old, old Basic Grey set called Fusion…perfect for Fall…I’d forgotten all about it until I started digging! lol
