What a happy Monday!!!

I am bursting with excitement and am so happy to be posting today BECAUSE I've been invited by the amazingly talented group over at The Pink Elephant to be a guest designer for the month of April! AND I was lucky enough to get to play along early! I just can't beleive it!!!

I feel so lucky, I'm still doing my little happy dance and want to thank Lori for this amazing opportunity! The Pink Elephant is one of my favorite Challenge Blogs that I just can't ever get enough of, and I'm really looking forward to working with everyone! Woo hoo!

This weeks theme is SPRING, and we all got to play with the new CCDesigns Sugarplums Spring Kit. For my card I used Rainy Day Emma.
This new spring kit is available at All That Scraps and is adorable! Who doesn't love those Sugarplums?

I used some new springy designer paper from K&Company and my new Martha Stewart border punch. The sentiment is also a C.C. Design, Amy R Sentiment that I thought went well with Rainy Day Emma! I coloured her with my copics and added some crystal lacquer to her raincoat and rubber boots. I also added some little buttons to her coat for some added dimension!

So head over to The Pink Elephant Challenge blog and play along with this fun SPRING challenge! You'll see an amazing little display from the design team that will definately get your mojo flowin! What a great way to start the week! Happy Monday everyone!

HUGS!!!

I coloured Owie with my copic markers and shaded around him using prisma color pencils (gotta get to one of those classes!). The DP is from Basic Grey. I added a strip of SU polkadot ribbon and the funky stitched fabric tree is from Prima's fabric shapes line.

I'm entering this card over at Sketch and Stash Challenge blog. I followed their great sketch and as for the stash count? I used my Brand new BabyBud Owie stamp from C.C.Designs and also the Prima Fabric Tree that I've been dyin' to incorporate on a card!

Ketto's Dolly Birthday Card!

I hope you're all enjoying your weekend. Where I am its rainy with a capital R!!! So I decided to do what I always do on a rainy day - stamp!!!! I created this card for a few challenges this week:

Papertake Weekly Challenge - Pretty Pink Papertake

Crazy 4 Challenges - Pretty in Pink

and also made this for Stamping Bella's Bellarific Friday Birthday theme!

These challenges are easy for me cause I love everything there is to love about PINK!!! I used the image Ketto's Dolly from Stamping Bella and coloured her with my copic markers. I used my glaze pen to accent her shoes & hearts on her dress but you can't see with this picture. The solid cardstock is all Bazzill and the dp is from K&Company. I added some left over BoBunny chipboard accents that I had sitting on my desk, I guess they were meant to be on this card, don't you love it when that happens? The sentiment is from CCDesigns/Amy R Sentiments.

Anyway thanks for stoppin by, I'm going to go find my umbrella!

A thank you card...

I've been on somewhat of a roll this week, I guess I'm catchin up from the move and the lack of stamping I did over the last few months! I love it, stamping is my therapy and my outlet and its great to be back in full swing!

This is another card I made for, yet again, Phebe from The Town Scrapper! I left with these adorable Sugarplums and just couldn't let them sit too long (cause you know what happens when you let them sit, new ones come along and well you know the story...or is it just me??? lol).

This is Winter Emma and she is toooo cute! I followed the Mojo Monday #120 sketch and I must say I would never think to layer so much and use so many elements, but am very pleased with the way it turned out. Following sketches is great and makes you think outside your comfort zone! I am also going to enter this over at The Pink Elephant Challenge Blog (challenge #48 - Thanks or Birthday).

I coloured Winter Emma using my copics, cut her out and pop dotted her on a circle and scalloped nestie. The yummy designer paper is from BoBunny which I also picked up from the Town Scrapper. The solid paper is Bazzill, the saying is from CCDesigns - AmyR Thankyou Sentiments. I found the little button brads in my stash. I am going to hop to it and make another one, cause I like it so much and all the stuff's sittin out so its easier than putting it away, hee hee!
Hope you're all trying to keep warm! Winter is definately here!!!

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy New Year, let it snow!!!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! I hope everyone had a great Christmas and had lots of fun ringing in 2010!
Over the holidays I had a chance to go visit Phebe from The Town Scrapper in Petrolia. I have been eyeing some of her new stamps and was so excited there was still some left when I got there! I know Christmas is over but I can't resist using these stamps and it gives me a really early start for next year, hee hee! She's always got fantastic sales goin' on so don't hesitate to check in on her blog, like me, on a regular basis ha ha! (I always leave with an AWESOME stash!!!)

I made this card for Phebe, the image is from CCDesigns and is called Ski Bunny, Trevor looks all geared up to hit the slopes! How cute is he??? The Sugarplums and Swiss Pixies are some my favourite stamps around!

I coloured Trevor using my copic markers and paperpieced his hat, scarf and mitts using some patterned paper by Imaginisce. I broke out the old sewing machine again, and stitched around the image to give more texture. The button was from my stash and the sentiment from Sunshine Designs. I'm also entering this for The Pink Elephant Challenge which is Sketch Challenge #47. This was a fun card to make! Stay tuned for more!!!

Happy Halloween!!!

So I finally caved and made up a Halloween card, but was happy to do so 'cause it was for Phebe at The Town Scrapper, I have been sooooo busy I almost forgot to post it, eeek!!! I used Spooky Tree and Swiss Pixies Pippi from CC Designs. Their September stamps are super cute, it was so hard to choose. I coloured the images up with my copics, and added stickles to the entire tree and Pippi's wings. You can double click on the card to see a close up of the sparkly tree! I sponged with black ink around the edges and used my Conte Pastels to shade the ground and around the tree and moon. The sentiment is also by CCD, the buttons and DP I had in my stash!

I can't help be in the mood for Halloween now with the cold, wet, fall weather we've been having lately - yuck! I had to break out the winter shoes & coats bin the other day, yikes!

We're in the process of moving so my posts might be few and far between for the next little while, booooo! I know I won't be able to stay away for too long though, I will go into some serious withdrawl if I don't do just a little bit here and there!!! Happy Fall!

Thanks for stopping by,

Follow your dreams...

Here is the latest card I made for Phebe at The Town Scrapper. I must say I'm not usually a cat person, but I ended up loving this card in the end. It's from CC Designs (Butterfly Kitty), the sentiment I made up and printed off on my printer. I coloured this little kitty with my copics and cut him out entirely along with the butterfly and pop dotted him on the green cardstock using my nestabilities. I found the dp in my scrap pile so I don't know who makes it. The flowers are prima and I added the little silver jewellery spacers, which I got from my tub of beads etc...I have seen these on a few cards and think it looks so charming. Hope you have a great day, thanks for looking!

Happy Birthday Pixie!

I finally got around to making a card from this adorable image by CC Designs (Heidi - Swiss Pixies). I stamped her a few times (cause you just never know) - good thing I did! My first try I didn't like the colours I used, but I liked the way I did her hair. So I coloured the other image (using my copics) with different colours and paperpieced her wings, dress and boots to the original one! I didn't glue her wings all the way down and ended up curling them a bit to make it look like her wings were 3D. I used the adorable 'Berry Blue' patterned paper from Doodlebug Designs. Added some buttons embellished with Scrappers Floss and added the happy birthday sentiment (also CC Designs). Oh, I also added some stickles 'cause no Pixie would be complete with out some sparkle!!! Thanks for looking!

Till next time,

Surfer Ian!!!

Happy Wednesday everyone!!! How cute is this Greeting Farm stamp??? Surfer Ian!!! Just snagged it from another 'road trip' to The Town Scrapper. I made a birthday card and had so much fun colouring him! The sentiment is CC Designs. There were so many possibilities for the background paper, but I finally chose CosmoCricket - snorkel. I added some ribbon & buttons to the wave at the bottom. I didn't want to give it away after I finished it...lol!
Enjoy your day!
Bye for now,
Krista :)

Bathing Beauty Emma...

I just picked up these adorable stamps from Scrappin' Great Deals. They're by CC Designs and this image is called Bathing Beauty Emma. I coloured her with my copic markers. I love the patterned paper by We R Memory Keepers.
