Happy Birthday Lil' Birdie

I really enjoy all the supplies that come out for Valentine's Day, everything is so cutesie. Not that red and pinks are my favorite colors because there not. But I had the motivation to sit down and color and I could not resist this new image from Tiddly Inks Wryn - New Nest.

I've been playing around coloring hair with my copics and I'm finding blonde is a challenge to color but I do like the end result for Wryn.

I used for the first time a sketch from the Clean and Simple Stamping Blog #174.

I then paper pierced the top portion of the card, and pop dotted it off of the base (I just love the effect it gives). I also pop dotted the main image that was cut from the largest label one spellbinders die. Gave the bottom designer paper a scalloped bordered edge and sewed the mini tag verse and button onto the ribbon with metallic thread.

My colors where chosen from the Color Throwdown Challenge for last week as well.

Thanks for stopping by this week,

You Blow Me Away

I attempted to do the Whimsie Doodles December Challenge Sketch Inpired but I lost my um-ft by the end of last year but have finally finished this card. The perfect card for that special hair dresser in your life.

I wanted to take part in the Ribbon Carousel Challenge this week, and that was to add anything like ribbon, bakers twine, jute twine, lace or thread. For this card I used orange baker's twine!

Thanks for dropping in,

 I would like to Thank all of my customers this year, wow this has been a tremendously busy year and I still don't see the future slowing down at all. You have challenged me in my creativeness, color and designs. Though some months are a bit crazy I still love every minute of it, and I can't wait to see what is going to be thrown my way come 2012!

Christmas Penguin

Here is the last of the Whimsie Doodles Tis the Season images that I created cut files for. And of course my favorite out of all of them 'The Penguin'. Really simply layered, and pop dots added to the scarf, nose and feet for dimension.

Merry Christmas,

Gingerbread Man

Here is another image from the Whimsie Doodles Tis the Season images. The GingerBread Man, I took all his layers and turned them into cut images and away I went cutting them out on my Cricut.

I put One-step crackle medium onto the white icing images to give him the look of real glossy icing. His smile was hand drawn and glitter buttons in place to look a like gum-gums.

A very simple card but he looks so darn adorable!

Thanks,
