Sneek Peek....
You know when you have a card layout in mind and have it all sorted out in your head how you're going put it together and when the time comes Mr. Mojo decides to take a little nap? Thats what happened to me with this card. I had the perfect papers by My Little Shoe Box and I just could get it to come out right. Sigh, just one of those days...
Mr. Smiles was coloured with my copics with some shading added with my prismacolor pencils. I cut him out and popped him on the card! This little cutie will be available for purchase starting October 1st, when we will be having our big release blog hop! So make sure you come back to see the other cute stamps being released! So cute!
See you Friday!!! Thanks for stopping by!

A sweet treat....
Anyway, here's the little treat holder/card:
I used Birthday Lily from Claudia & Co. Stamps for my little sweet treat holder. She is available HERE and is on sale right now, so be sure to swing by DCRU to see what other deals are going on. I coloured her up using my copic markers and added some shading with my prismacolor pencils and gamsol. I added lots of stardust stickles to the balloon, her bow, polkadots and shoes. The inside reads: 'A little treat for someone sweet! Happy Birthday!' I finised it off with some lace from the dollar store and a button!
Remember Claudia & Co. still has a great challenge going on which ends on October 5th! You can load up your card on the link HERE!
Also this friday marks the day for a brand new release for Claudia & Co. Stamps and our big blog hop. I'll be posting a little sneek peek this week just to get you ready for the cuteness that is coming!
Thanks for stopping by, have a great Monday!

Here comes trouble...
He can be purchased HERE and is made from deep etched red rubber, and also comes pre-mounted on cling cushion, ready to be trimmed and slapped on acrylic blocks.
I have to say that little baby Jack is at the top of my favourites list, he's sooooo cute and super quick to whip up a card with. I made this using my copics, some MS dp, SU button and twine and I've had that rub-on saying for ever and thought it went perfect for this little growing concern..haha!
Our current 'COLOUR RED' challenge is still going on and doesn't end until October 5th so you still have lots of time to play along. You can link up your card HERE!
Have a great Wednesday! Thanks for stopping by!

Black & White Challenge!
I have to admit this definately was a challenge for me...I love my copics and really wanted to use this image (Fred & Ginger) but I couldn't wrap my brain around only black and white! SO, I broke out my embossing powders and tools (that have seen no love lately), and did some experimenting. I first tried the white embossing on black cardstock and although it turned out nicely the image was kinda hard to sort out with all of the detail (thanks to the feedback from a friend ;) so, I reversed it and embossed with black powder on white. I also broke out my old Stampin Up Pastels and added some chalk (sorry I couldn't resist adding some blush to her cheeks....so there's a little more than black and white on my card)! I've just started Breaking Dawn (the last of the Twilight series) and this reminds me of Bella and Edward (except the 'old school' vampire, Cullen is a 'TAD' more handsome than this fella!)....I had to make this romantic by adding the flourish paper and soft bow and the pins. And I couldn't resist adding the black tear drop (taken from some cheap earrings) to the sentiment (gotta love the buck store!).
Anyway, great challenge from Donna! If you want to see more B&W samples check out the challenge blog and play along with us this week, if you do, you'll be in the running for some KKRubber!!!
Have a great weekend, thanks for stopping by!

Krafty Peeks Day 1
I stamped her on Beckett Expression paper and coloured her up with my copics. I added some clear spica glitter pen to her eyelids and lips (can't see on the pictures). I don't know who that dp is by, but I'm lovin' it right now, so I used it again for this card. It seemed to work. I used one of my Martha Stewart border punches and added a rhinestone border to add some bling!
Make sure you stop by all of the Krafty Girls today to catch more amazing sneek peeks! And be sure to come back on Sunday for our big Blog Hop - always so much fun!
Thanks for stopping by, I'll be back tomorrow with another peek! Have a great day!
