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

Happy Monday..

Hope everyone had a great weekend... the first week of 2012 has come and gone! I'm so glad you can join me today to welcome back Lollipop Crafts from our winter break! We're ready for a new and exciting year, and our first challenge of the year is the ANYTHING GOES with a NEW twist! Just use a new stamp, technique, supply, etc, or create a card/project for New Baby, or New House, or Happy New Year! etc... Be sure to check out the LC blog for all the details and some gorgeous projects from both teams!
Here's my card to share with you...

The "NEW" features are paper from Jillibean Soup, and a new clear sentiments stamps set I got from my friend, Leanne, who happens to also be on the LC team! Picked a few of the sentiments and stamped it randomly on the yellow cardstock for the background. I also tried a "new" skin color combo... my friend, Amy, has a bunch of GREAT tutorials on this blog... where I visit very often!! Followed the Friday Spy Day #14 challenge on FFC... cased the layout of the featured card. Cheeky Chat is colored in copics... isn't she just the cutest... with her pink phone!!
For another "new" thing for my blog this year, I'm going to list out all the supplies I used for the posted project, including a list copic colors! so here goes for the first post of the year...

Wishing You...

all Health, Happiness, and Prosperity in the New Year!

Here's a card I made earlier this month for my MIL's birthday. This adorable little girl is Kiyoko from Sister Stamps, and the sentiment is from Hero Arts. Found some scrap origami paper from my dd's stash, and paper-pieced her kimono with it too!

What a year it's been... thank you to my followers, and visitors too, for all the sweet luv and support. It's been so much fun learning from all the fabulous crafters out there, and being able to share my inspiration with you too. I've had a wonderful experience being with the Lollipop Team for 2 terms, and looking forward to working with the ATS Digi team as well in the new year!

Thanks for stopping by...

have a Safe and Happy New Year!!     

December C.A.T.S...

Hi all! I'm just starting to clean up my craft area (very slowly)... and remembered that I haven't shared with you my card and tag set I made for my Dec C.A.T.S. partner, Karen.

The card was on a previous post here, and here's the matching tag...

colored Beanie Anya up with Copics on this textured cardstock. I love the way the color shows... almost like watercolor. All I did was lightly colored each area and used the blender pen to soften the strokes. I colored up a few more TGF images, but haven't made anything with them yet, just couldn't resist doing the new technique! ok... back to the tag... the paper, ribbon, and gems are from Recollections, a MS holly punch, and a couple of red buttons! Quick and easy to put together!

This is what Karen sent me...

if only you can see it IRL! It's so beautiful with all the adorable 3D embellies, and the embossing and stitching is incredible! Plus she added some sweet embellies for me to use too! Stop by and visit Karen here, and you'll find more amazing projects!

Thanks for stopping by! ;)
