Anything Goes...

Happy LATE Monday! It's a brand new challenge at Lollipop Crafts today, and the theme this week is... ANYTHING GOES!! I'm a bit late in posting this, but I have a fun card to share with you...

This is one of The Greeting Farm's gorgeous stamps, Beanie Anya, and she's been colored up for awhile now... just waiting for me to put her together with some pretty papers! This coloring technique was done with Copics, more about it here on this post. The awesome sketch is from the brand new TGF Farm Fresh SCS Saturday Sketch Challenge, you can find out all the details here! Sentiment is also from TGF Clear Stamp sets... actually from three of them - "HUGS" is from Build a Onsies Boy, "KISSES" from Build a Onsies Girl, and "&" from Furever set. All three are  part of an awesome candy win from Margie! The tag punch is from Recollections, and trimmed it smaller to what I needed. Layered the doily atop of a Spellbinder circle nestie, and popped-on Beanie Anya!

ATS Review

Please scroll down for my Lollipop Crafts post, or click here.

Today at All That Scraps, we are reviewing our January Digistamp releases. Birthday Lucy is one of adorable new Swiss Pixie girls, and she's now available in the ATS store in both rubber or digi!

I just loved coloring her up! The ledger paper, from KC&Co., is so soft and pretty. It comes as a spiral bound paper pad, so the "notebook rip" is already there! No need for another punch! Used a CC Design Cutters Butterflies Die.. butterfly is the smaller one with some pink gems added. I didn't have small flowers to match the purple on the dress, so took some white flowers and colored them with copic markers. The gorgeous green ribbon is from my good blog-friend, Amy, and thanks to Amy, I found a new way to tie it... you can check it out here on one of her many awesome videos. She's super amazing!!

Be sure to stop by the ATS blog to see more spectacular reviews from my team-mates! All digistamps are now available at the  All That Scrap store!!

Animal Crackers...

Hi all! I have a fun card to share with you today...

All That Scraps is having review week of January's release! The adorable monkey is from the Animal Crackers line and is available in both rubber and digi stamp at the ATS store. Followed the sketch from SFYTT, and colored with my Copics.  Some more new paper, this time from Lime Twist and snuck in a scrap from Basic Grey. The double stamped birthday sentiment was actually a mistake... the white by itself didn't show good, so I tried to stamp black on top of it. Well obviously I missed, but not bad... it looks like a shadow effect. :)

Head on over to ATS blog for more spectacular projects from the team! and there's a brand new ATS color challenge! Play along for your chance to win 5 digi stamps of your choice!

All That Scraps - January Digi Preview...

Hi all! Today is preview day for the All That Scraps Digi Team, and we have some brand new Lucy images from the Swiss Pixie line to show you! Continuing with the birthday celebration theme for January's new release, here is Surprise Lucy...

She's just so thrilled to be celebrating... like I am... so excited to be on the ATS Digi Team and with my first preview post!! The sentiment is from the Party Time Logo set. To get the stamped edge look, I used a small flower punch and just using the tip of the punch, went all around the image... had to put my glasses on for that! LOL! I got a bunch of new paper during the holiday sales... this one is Basic Grey's Hopscotch. Love the pretty soft colors in these papers! Added some twine, sparkle, and shine! There you have it... my first card for ATS!! ;D
