Bunny with a bouquet

Good Morning everyone! I have a card today for the fabulous Marker Pop. This image is Bunny with flowers by Wild Rose Studio. Now I have to say, I am not very good at coloring fur but was pretty pleased with this little guy although it is difficult to see his eyes thru all of my strokes!

He is colored with copics and I have used some yellow atyou spica glitter pen for the centers of the flowers. Papers are the lovely vintage looking Authentique Cherish. Lots of stickles around the edges of my image and some lace from my stash and he is all ready to go. Ok, if you want to see a list of my copic colors please check out the Marker Pop blog and I want to thank Kelli and the girls for having me this month. They have been really great to work with!

Fun in the Sun!

Don't forget to check out this week's FRUGAL FRIDAY SPECIALS with several of our fave stamps and stamp sets on 30-50% OFF, but just for the weekend!!

Our challenge this week is "Fun in the Sun" and I have used a little girl with a lot of attitude! This is from the new Totally Tubular set by Cheryl Alger and I love how she has her hand on her hip, all "whats up with that"! I have paper pieced her swimsuit and used a little clamshell die for the sentiment base. Paper is Happy Day by Echo Park.

And she also has multiple layers of glossy accents on her glasses as I got bubbles in it the first go round, then dented it before it dried etc etc. And now it has small craters on top from all the layers I guess. Oh well. 

Okay, make sure to play and PLEASE use a Kraftin Kimmie image to be in the drawing for a free stamp! 

Happy kraftin'!!

My friends wedding card

Well, one week to go until my friend Roberta's wedding and since she doesn't follow my blog (what's up with that?) I figured I could post the card I made for her. 

This image is from LOTV and is called Together Forever which I thought was perfect for her.

Papers are MME I found at Michaels, I have never seen them anywhere else, they are called Bramble rose and the flowers are from WOC.

I would like to enter this into their challenge which is "Boy oh Boy". Okay, enjoy your evening, the weather here in Pennsylvania is gorgeous tonite so I am gonna go outside and enjoy it!

Hula hula....

Good morning everyone! We are back today with the day 3 new release at Kraftin Kimmies and today we are showcasing some new Moonlight Whispers images by Annie Rodrigue. Also make sure to check back on Saturday when we will let you know who has been the lucky winners of some free images this week! A lot of the Krafty girls will also be joining up on facebook for lots of chatter, questions and fun so make sure you join us at 6pm est this Saturday on the Kraftin Kimmie facebook page.

My card today features Leilani, wish I looked this good in a hula skirt! I sent this card to my new friend, Nicole. She is just getting started with cardmaking but from the looks of it, she is gonna go far!

This paper I have had for years and finally had a reason to pull it out. The hydrangea blossom is by Prima and she is colored with my good ol copics. The sentiment is included with the image. 

Okay, make sure to check out all of the other girls cards and leave a comment as you go to be entered into the drawing for some of the release images from today!
