Cowabunga! For SheepSki Designs

Cowabunga!  Christmas is soon here!  Cowabunga!  It's time for a new challenge at SheepSki Challenge blog, and this month, the theme is Anything Christmas.

I used Snowboardin' to create this:

I colored Snowboardin' with Copic markers.  The dies I used are from Frantic Stamper.

Papers on this card are from We Are 3 Digital Shop.  The teal paper is one of this month's new release -- Touch of Teal.  The rose colored knit paper is Toasty Warm.

The sentiment was computer generated. Snowflakes were cut out from dies by Lawn Fawn.

Believe! for All Dressed Up Stamps

November 1!  We edge ever closer to Christmas, and the All Dressed Up Facebook Group has a Christmas is Coming theme going on this month for the challenge.  Wendy Burns has the most darling images (always), but her Christmas images are particularly appealing!

I used the oh-so-fun Christmas Pooch to create this:

I colored Christmas Pooch with Copic markers.  Doesn't he look adorable in his little Christmas sweater?  I stamped the sentiment on with a clear acrylic stamp from Close To My Heart. The red twine wrapped around the base is from Timeless Twine.

The background paper on this card is from We Are 3 Digital Shop.  It's one of the Holly Berries paper collection.

The Christmas is Here themed challenge will go on all month in the All Dressed Up Facebook Group.  I know things are starting to get busier and busier with Christmas coming on, but I so hope you have time to join in the challenge!

What's Up? A New Release for Bugaboo Stamps

What's Up?  Are you ready for Halloween?  This will be the first time in, well, forever, that I won't be spending the late afternoon and evening with residents at the nursing home.  I am spending the early afternoon there, helping with the Halloween party, but I'm coming home in time for the trick-or-treating in the neighborhood.  It should be fun!

But, let's talk about today!  It's Tuesday, and that means it's New Release day at Bugaboo Stamps.  Today's New Release is Crow Trio.  Well, I like bluebirds better than crows, so I changed it up a bit :)

I colored up the "Crow Trio" with Copic markers, and since I'm the artist, I made them into the color I wanted.  The sentiment is computer generated alongside them.

The papers and embellishments on this card are retired, from Close To My Heart.

I hope you visit the Catch the Bug blog to see what the other talented Bugaboo Stamps designers did with today's new release, Crow Trio.  Then, head on over to the Bugaboo Stamps store and pick up this fun digi at a discount.  There's also the Friday Freebie, and slews of other wonderful images.  Do some shopping, color something up, and enter the challenge!  Win some more!  It's a win, win, WIN!

Thanks for visiting today for New Release Tuesday!

It's Fall! for QKR Stampede Challenge Blog

It's Friday!  The last one in October, if you can believe it!  That means it's time for a new challenge at QKR Stampede Challenge Blog.  Themes are always Anything Goes.

I kept it very simple this time, using the Open Oak Leaf digi and Tinm Holtz distress inks to create this:

I printed the Open Oak Leaf onto white card stock.  Then, I grabbed my fall colored distress inks and got busy.  Here's the results.

The designer paper behind the inked panel is from We Are 3 Digital Shop.  It's a paper from the Watercolor Batik Paper Collection.  The fall colored ribbon is from Really Reasonable Ribbon.  The fall looking embellishments are from Close To My Heart.

I hope you join us this week at QKR Stampede for our Anything Goes Challenge.  You have all week, and I'd love to see what you create! 

You Drive My Batty -- for the Scrapbook Stamp Society

Hello, fellow stamp lovers.  I'm on the Scrapbook Stamp Society blog today with some Halloween inspiration.  

Halloween is soon upon us, so this img157, "You Drive Me Batty" digital stamp is right on target!

What do you think?  Cute?

I colored img157 with Copic markers, and did some inking around the edges.  I wanted a spooky effect!

The background paper on this card is from We Are 3 Digital Shop.  It is the Into The Night Collection.  The sentiment, also be We Are 3, is one of the Halloween sentiments. 

I created the card base with a Sizzix die.  I finished the card with some Timeless Twine.  

Check out all the delightful Halloween, Fall, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and any season you want images in the My Besties Shop.  You won't be disappointed!

Celebrate Happy -- Guest Designing at The Outlawz

It's the last Thursday of October (already?!?), and that means it's anything goes at The Outlawz Twisted Thursday.  It also means there is a guest designer.  Today, that guest designer is ME!  Yea, me!  

I have never had the pleasure of coloring up a Time for Tea image before, but she is sponsoring this entire month at The Outlawz Twisted Thursday.  What a delight!  

Here is what I got to color!

I colored up Fall Leaves with Copic markers, working in all earth tones, to stick with the autumn color theme.  Papers, dies,  and embellishments are from Close To My Heart.  The little bit of twine is from Timeless Twine. 

Thanks to Time for Tea for sponsoring, and a big, big thanks to Twisted Thursday for the chance to guest design!

Alpaca Your Bags! for Kinda Cute by Patricia Alvarez

I have the pleasure today of posting for Kinda Cute by Patricia Alvarez.  I just love to color up the sweet images she draws! 

The card I'm featuring today uses the Llama digital stamp set:

I colored one of the Llamas in the stamp set (there are 3) with Copic markers.  One of my best friends and I just got back from a trip to see another good friend.  I gave this card to her the day we flew together.   I thought the sentiment would give her a giggle.

Papers on this card are also from Kinda Cute by Patricia Alvarez.  The red star paper is from the Red & Blue Basics paper collection.  The black and white hearts paper is from the Red & Black Love papers.

The card design is based on a sketch I found at Sketch Saturday. 

Please visit the Kinda Cute by Patricia Alvarez Store for more wonderful digis, the Kinda Cute by Patricia Alvarez blog for great inspiration by Patricia and the design team, and the Kinda Cute by Patricia Alvarez Facebook Group for a monthly challenge, news, more inspiration, friendship, and fun!
