Sally Mae

I don't know about you but, it has been much colder these days and I live in California!! haha! Well I decided to take a semi-break from Winter/Holiday projects just for this project. I started but coloring her hair with my copics and I am getting surprised by how much practice can affect your skills whether it's copic coloring or learning to play the piano.

I bought this stamp from the Not2Shabby shop on Zibbet for which if you are not aware I design for. This is by far one of the best designs team I have been a part of and Jamie (the owner) happens to be a crafty gal herself and creates some pretty awesome projects with some of the products she carries in her shop.

The sentiment stamp is from C.C Designs called: Happy Harvest which I also got from the Not2Shabby shop on Zibbet.

Remember. If I can do it so can you! Crafty Me. Crafty You.

Devine Tilda

Magnolia stamps have always been on my list of stamps to work with. This is my first Magnolia Tilda card:) I am LOVING the way the hair came out. I have been practicing coloring with my copics and I am taking a self-paced class from Kit & Clowder.  For this project I used pinks and grays which is very unusual for me. Those of you who have been following me for a little bit know that I am more of a teal/mint/aqua gal. 

I created a 6x6 card with a Magnolia Stamp that I got from the Not2Shabby Shop on Zibbet called Devine Tilda.

This project was created for the Not2Shabby design team for which I always upload videos for:)

I distressed the edge with Tim Holtz' distress ink in Vintage Photo. Here are a few of the products I have used:

Pink Paislee Bella Rouge 6x6 Scrapbook Paper Pad

Uni-Ball Signo Broad Point Gel Impact Pen White 1-Pen (japan import)

Scotch CAT 085 Advanced Tape Glider with 2 Rolls of 1/4-Inch by 36-Yard Acid Free Tape,Cure Pink

Happy Tuesday!

Today's project is super special to me. This is the one image I feel I really colored well. I have been doing the self paced coloring class from kit and Clowder and it's almost like I finally get it:) Take a look:

I used my copics to color her and a Whimsy stamp that I got from the Not2ShabbyShop on Zibbet called Candy Cane Dreams. Here's a little close-up:

My coloring has definitely evolved this past year and I honestly could not stress that I have had to practice, a LOT! but I love it! what do you think?

Not2Shabby Monday

Hello my friend!

So I feel like it's been a VERY long time since my last post:/ well not that long but still! I have an exciting project to share with you! As you know I am a design team member for the not2shabbyshop on Zibbet. For this month's projects I chose La La Land Stamps. I know! I have never created with them and to be quite honest, I have no idea why! I had a blast!

I created an easel card using the BoBunny Isabella Collection. I colored my image with my trusty copics:) One of the stamps that I chose is Birthday Cake Marci. Take a look:

I am typically not a pink type of gal but, this project just makes me so happy and I am loving the pink!

I wanted to give you a little sneak peek to what project I am working on next;)

Make sure you check out the not2ShabbyShop on Zibbet. A lot of stamps are on sale including the one that I used. I also have a coupon code for 10% off you purchase including sale items: CRAFTYME83

I hope you enjoyed my project as much as I enjoyed creating it!!

Here is the list of what I used:

C.C Designs - Be Happy Sentiments

La La Land Heart Banner Die

Wild Orchid Craft Flowers

Image colored with Copics

Memento Ink - Tuxedo Black

Enchanted Garden

Hello Crafty Peeps!

Today's blogpost is so exciting to me! I haven't done a Besties card in a little bit so this was a lot of fun to create! I used the Enchanted Collection by Bo Bunny and a beautiful My Besties image by Sherri Baldy:

To be honest I wasn't sure where the green and purple would take me but, I was pleasantly surprised:

I just love creating with the My Besties stamps because they allow me to either do a simple card or a more embellished card. 

I was talking to one of my crafty friends and she said "Hey! that's how you wear your hair!". I didn't even realize it! haha! Maybe that's why I was so drawn to her!

Here is my project share video:

I hope you are loving my more frequent posts! Have an awesome weekend!

Miss Lilly Coffee Break

I am back with another project using on of Little Blue Button Stamps cuties:) This time I wanted to play around with Miss Lilly Coffee Break. I love that she is available in both digital & rubber. As always I have a few pictures as well as a video if you would like to see the project "live".

I used soft colors to complement her dress that I colored using my copics.

You guess it:) It's an easel card!! It was so much fun to make and the image was just too cute to play with!

Here is the video:

Enjoy!

Happy New Year!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

I am so excited to kick off 2014 with a crafty project:) I know I haven't been super active on this blog but, this year, I will be! I have tons of ideas running through my head and they are so awesome that last night I couldn't fall asleep! haha!

I have been wanting to color more and using more color images. I posted a preview of my project on both my Facebook and my Instagram accounts:

Some of you Greeting Farm addict could probably already tell which image this is:) I used Royal Cutie Pies.

Isn't she adorable? I colored her with my copics and Spectrum Noir Markers. Here are different views of the card.

The paper collection I used for this project is by Melissa Frances and is called "C'est la vie". It is an older collection and I am not sure where it is available. I purchased mine at the scrapbook expo in my area last February. 

I had a lot of fun creating this card! I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!
