July Monthly Card Kits...

How about a couple of cutie's for July's Monthly Kits.

This month's kits feature Saturated Canary Images.

I used the fabulous Simple Stories Vintage Bliss Collection for both cards.

First up we have the Copic Coloring Card Kit

Summer

I also wanted to use a couple of the new Memory Box dies.

On this card I used Graceful Silhouette.

It's really pretty.

I love her long flowing hair!

Next is the Water Coloring Card Kit

Thank You

The Memory Box Die on this one is Blooming Vine

Really soft and delicate.

I love all the layers on her dress and her big eyes.

Both kits come with a package of Petaloo Premier Butterflies this month.

I thought they were pretty and we could try them out.

I finished the online tutorials that go with both of these and 

links have been emailed out to purchasers.

Thanks for looking!

Have a wonderful day.

So Funny...

This is hilarious.

I had to watch it three times in a row

and laughed so hard every time.

Imagine if they had to last for hours instead of just the hour they managed.

May Monthly Card Kits...

Are you ready for the May Monthly Card Kits?

This month I picked a couple of cuties that will work perfect for Mother's Day.

Even though I didn't include a Mother's Day saying.

I figured you could add that if you so desired.

The paper for both is My Mind's Eye - Stella Rose.

Lets start with the Copic Coloring Monthly Card Kit.

Flowers for You

He looks so innocent.

We all know that can't be true.

The kit this month comes with a Spica Lilac Glitter Pen.

Next we have the Water Coloring Monthly Card Kit.

Fistful of Flowers

Also looking very innocent.

This month I used the Ranger Distress Markers to color with.

So we are trying something new in the tutorial.

I think they gave it a much softer look.

This kit comes with a Wink of Stella Violet Glitter Pen.

I've done an alternate Copic coloring on this one.

It can be seen over on the store blog.

HERE

Along with the video.

March Monthly Kits...

I couldn't resist these cute Saturated Canary images for the March Kits.

I loved that they both came  with sentiments.

I have used the Fancy Pants - Hopscotch Collection for this months kits.

Lets start with the Copic Coloring Card Kit

Traveling Colors

Isn't she cute!

You can choose which sentiment you want to use.

Then we have the Water Coloring Card Kit

Valentine Petals

She's super adorable too.

And nobody said she just had to be for Valentine's

You could make up your own sentiment.

I love that her tongue is sticking out.

I included a big enough piece for you to pick a sentiment and then trim it.

Head over to the store and grab one or both and color along with me.

Maya & Kitty Drinking Hot Tea...

How about another Maya image.

Maya & Kitty Drinking Hot Tea.

Aren't they adorable!

Just one more Maya to go.

I love that Frostyville Wreath, but it's a pain to cut out.

It kept getting stuck on the cutting mat.

Tip: Wax Paper 

I'll try and remember to do a quick how to video on that after I finish the Christmas card kits.

Thanks for stopping in.

Have a fabulous day!

Maya & Kitty Sledging...

This is one of three Maya card kits.

Maya & Kitty Sledging
Two more Maya's to go.
The other two are super cute too!

I'm really happy with how this one turned out.

It doesn't have traditional colors, but looks awesome.

If I do say so myself.

Although I didn't love cutting out all those doilies.

I love the doilies, but having to punch out all those little bits from the die is a pain.

The beautiful paper is Bo Bunny - Snow Day.

I used the new Tim Holtz Distress Stickles Dry Glitter - Clear Rock Candy for the snow.

It turned out pretty awesome.

I love how it's got different size bits.

Have a wonderful day!

Angel Gwen...

How about another Some Odd Girl Stamp..

Angel Gwen

I love how the not white dress turned out!

I think the banner would look really cool done in red with gold embossing.

I didn't do it that way for the kits because I don't have gold embossing powder in the store.

But there's no reason you can't when you get it home.

Just an idea.

Thanks for stopping in!

Have a wonderful day.

I'll see you tomorrow with another Christmas Card Kit.

Gingerbread Kaylee...

I'm back to Christmas card kit making.

This cute Some Odd Girl stamp is

Gingerbread Kaylee

Isn't she adorable!

She also comes with 2 accessory images and three sentiments.

See the cute gingerbread man.

There's also a gingerbread lady.

Head over and grab you one while they are available.

Remember when it's gone it's gone.

I have too many in the color box to make up more. :O)

Have a great day!

Hazel Video...

Sorry I haven't posted for a while.
I forget after I post on the store blog I should come here to.
I try and post there everyday so if don't want to miss anything definitely head over there.

So better late then never right?

I finally managed to make the Hazel video Trish asked for.

I was in a hurry when I shot it yesterday morning so I didn't read the directions before I started.

So I forgot a couple colors.

Like the Broom Handle is E31 & E30

and

the Broom was actually E31, Y21, Y11 & Y0000

and 

the Bats Ears, Belly & Nose had R00 to lighten them before I used the W2.

I put notes in when I edited.

Sorry about that I had to go to a job interview in the afternoon but wanted to get this done for you guys when the light was good.

The lesson in this is always read the DIRECTIONS first..

So on to the video..

Thanks for stopping by and watching.

Have a great day.

I decide to do a start to finish series of video tutorial on these cute little

CC Designs Sweet November Stamps by Amy Young.

First up we have...

PINE.

Isn't he adorable!
The paper is Bo Bunny Camp-A-Lot.
I thought is went great with the whole set of images.

Next we up we have a give away by Krista Smith...

You know I love all her wonderful stamps and digi's..

This is from Krista's Blog

"This year, one of my personal goals is to give.  Give.

It is a lot harder than the little word lets on...Things come up and get in the way...

And life is busy...

And then I look back and a year is gone.  Gone, and I haven't really given anything.  

Sure, I always have big plans.  I say a lot of prayers, hoping God gives me the opportunities to give to others.  Meanwhile, I'm just wasting time.  Time moves fast...And there is no better time than now.

Seek opportunities, friends.  

They are everywhere.  

You all have given much to me this year-- new friendships.  A great home business that I truly love.  The encouragement to push through the days when I feel like a failure.  And daily-- your sweet messages and kind words-- they are uplifting and remind me that people are beautiful and loving and gracious.

So, I'd love to join together and give to a great cause.  

Next week, I will have two digis available.  They will be free downloads.  There will be a donate link where you can, instead of purchasing the digis for $4.00 each, give what you can to St Jude's Children's Research Hospital.  I will collect the money for one month, and at the end, donate the entire amount collected from these two digis to the hospital.  I am also in the process of being approved for an event at the hospital...so there may be an opportunity in the near future to send me Christmas cards to bring to the children and families this coming holiday season.  

If you are not familiar with the hospital, please click the link.  

If you'd like to help spread the word about the digi release, please place this button on your sidebars.  I will have the stamps available next week.  *Link to Krista's post HERE, please.*"

Hope your all having a fabulous day!

Seashell Sarah...

Since I shared the Copic Monthly Card Kit yesterday I thought I better share the water coloring kit too.

This is Seashell Sarah.

Isn't she a doll!

I have again used Echo Park - Hello Summer paper.

I love the bright fun colors.

With this kit you'll get a Pink Wink of Stella Glitter pen if you order while it's on pre-order.

You can use it to color the bikini!

Thanks for stopping by!

Have a wonderful day.
