Grace

Just a really simple card. I really enjoy coloring the hair on Grace because it's so wispy. This is the first time I've ever used Dark Chocolate and Enchanted Evening together and I love them!

Cheeky Rockabilly is Cheeky...

I am sooooo working on getting my hair coloring right. I'm using Mrs. E's sample, but I still can't get it like hers. Argh. Oh, well, practice... While I was coloring the hair, I realized that smokey shadow might be a good base. I also wanted to use Hawaiian Shores colored clothes. Oh, how I adore Pure Poppy with Hawaiian Shores... I stuck with a pretty small color palette. I couldn't decide on the sentiment, but with the wink she's giving, I thought I had to go with "be mine." And for the first time, I experimented with some eye shadow. On her, not me. Lol.

Hope-Snuggle

Mrs. E (aka Leish) stamped me this cute image, and I had a blast coloring with my Copics. I also had a major success here when I stamped the entire background using PBII. Not a difficult feat for all you pros out there, but for me...awe inspiring. Lol.

I am soooooo not a girly girl (although I DO love being a Doll), so it was a stretch for me to use such soft colors.

That rick rack die is soooo versatile. After I cut my rick rack piece, I noticed how nice the remaining piece was and decided to use it to frame my buttons. Woo hoo for not wasting paper. Now only if I had some flower soft stuff to make the bunny fluffy...

Mojo Monday #134

Here's the sketch. I got really excited when I saw the sketch because I love anything with flowers. I went with red, white, black, and smokey shadow. I didn't have small scallops, so I used the rick rack die.

Here's my take.

Compose a Card Challenge #9

Here's my take on Becky's challenge. I'm not a colorful kinda girl, and I have difficulty with matching patterned papers, so I chose paper from Black and White Basics. To give it a pop of color, I chose Pure Poppy, which is one of my absolute favorite PTI colors. I also thought it would be a good time to use the tab from Mini Scrapbook Series. I tried to balance the elements. Then, it still looked incomplete so I added the twine along the left edge. It's my first ever 5x5 card, and I really like this size. Now...to find envelopes...

Sympathy Cards for Dayna's Boxed Set

My sister's birthday is in November. Last year, I made a custom card set for her. Needless to say, I didn't quite finish. Like many other things, I got bored after a bit. I owe her cards.

So this morning, as I was in the office creating, I decided that it would be way cooler to give her the one of a kind cards instead of the custom set, which is a little boring, especially because looking back at it, I don't like the paper I used.

I called her and asked her what kind of cards she thought she could use. Unfortunately, she said sympathy cards should be included. Sympathy cards are HARD to do. And I didn't have any already made, so I grabbed some supplies I thought I could use and got to work.
