Spring is in the air!

Well unfortunately not in my area it isn't spring like. It is rainy and cold but I am going to the Adventures in Stamping show in Akron so as long as there isn't a blizzard I am a happy camper! But today our challenge at Kraftin Kimmies is "Spring is in the Air" and if you play along you have the chance to win the stamp I have used on todays card.

I have used one of the images from last month called Rose. I love these flower girl images and have used some of my neglected wild orchid craft flowers. I have also used one of the sentiments from Kimmies flower sentiments and don't forget the big moving sale Kimmie is having, make sure you check them out before they are all gone!

New Peeker release and guest dt spot!

Happy Friday everyone! What a great day today! Not only is tomorrow the big craft show in my area but today I get to be a guest designer for the awesome Susana of Susanas Custom Art and Card Design! I guess I bought so much stuff she thought she should at least let me play along with a hop!

Today Susanas is releasing more from one of her exclusive lines, Elisabeth Bell for SCACD and we are showing off some more of her fabulous Peekers! Now hopefully you have come here from Suzanne's blog for a look at a different image and her wonderful coloring. My image is using the new Seashell Peeker.

Isn't she adorable? Paper is from Echo Park and I have used icicle stickles around the edges of my nestie for a little glitter and a combination of copics and the fabulous new Shinhan touch twin markers to color up my image.

Also being released today are some more of the Guardian Angel series by Elisabeth Bell and my angel is Sentimental Angel. Susana also has a new image so if you follow along on the hop you just "might" get to see her too!

Papers are Ambrosia by Bo Bunny (which are on sale!) and I have used one of the new Floral Ovals by Spellbinders around my image and some Make It Crafty chipboard corners for a little accent. And do you see that birdcage in the corner? I made it myself, pat on the back, with a new product for me, Dreamweaver embossing paste which I colored with some Luminarte mica powders and used a Crafters Workshop stencil for the pattern. Pretty neat huh?  Ok, from hear you need to hop over to Dianne's blog and if you are international you can also get your hands on these stamps from Quixotic Paperie.

Happy 4th of July!

Ok, I realize it is still April but I wanted to post this card now so if you want to get the stamp so you have plenty of time to use it before the 4th really does get here!

This adorable image is from Eat Cake Graphics and is called For the Brave. I absolutely adore this stamp, so freakin cute! Some star patterned paper, buttons and twine to finish it off. Have a great day!

Want a "Peek" at something cute?

Over the hump day woohoo! I certainly don't want to wish my life away but I do seem to live for the weekends! Anyways, wanted to let you in on a sneak "peek" of something really cute that is available NOW! Check them out now over at Susana's Custom Art and Card Design.

If you want to see more you can go to Susana's Custom Art and Card Design and be sure to come back on Friday for a blog hop to see the entire release! Plus a little something extra...

Thanks and farewell!

Hello everyone! Today is time for another Tiddly Inks Tuesday and our challenge this time is to say "Thanks". Well, the timing of this challenge couldn't have been better as I have decided to step down from Tiddly Inks and I definitely want to say Thanks to Christy and the entire team for a wonderful 6 months.

My card today features one of the newer images, Wryn Picture Perfect.

Colored with copics, paper is by PTI. I am loving this color combination, nice and bright. Especially now that winter has decided it isn't quite done with us yet! Alrighty, make sure you join along in our challenge and if you ever receive an email from Christy asking you to join her team, I would highly recommend saying YES!
