Beachy keen

Filed Under DT: Georgia, People, Summer | 2 Comments

I think these guys are ready for some summer fun!

I love Georgia’s use of such vibrant colors, so befitting of sunshine and cool water. The background paper with fun little sand-dollars for the bottom and polka dots for the top are just “beachy keen”! I certainly hope they’ve packed their sunscreen because those are some mighty pale legs they’re sportin’. :)

I believe in fairies!

Filed Under DT: Marianne, Fairies | 1 Comment

Pixie Poppy sure is having a good time sprinkling flowers with her fairy dust. Marianne created this cute card using hot pink cardstock. I like the way she carried the aqua blue into the frame. She used a Martha Stewart punch for the edge and topped it off with a corduroy button from Stampin’ Up. She wasn’t sure of the flower stamp manufacturer but my goodness that must be a big stamp!

Just keep paddling

Filed Under DT: Georgia, Dogs, Nature, People, Summer | 6 Comments

Georgia says sometimes she thinks she’s paddling upstream… and if she keeps going, she’ll get there…wherever there may be.

This card is so vibrant with the orange background against the teal blue water. I love how she picked those up when coloring as well. Looks like she tore the paper for the water and layered the stamp in between. Very clever and oh so cute!

You are special

georgia-you-are-special

What a perfect card for a little boy. I think both the doggie and the little boy are enjoying their time together.

Georgia used a bit of layering for this one. The doggie background paper is just a perfect find. Then she used brown gingham tied off with the polka dot ribbon and a big brown button to top it all off. Great job Georgia!

Another birthday?

Filed Under Birthday, Cats, DT: Georgia | 1 Comment

georgia-katie-kitty-sm

Some years “another birthday” does feel just like this. Georgia created the screen and stamped Katie kitty hangin’ on. Love the use of the background texture, black framing and the silver buttons

This “activity” is actually what inspired the original drawing. There really was a Katie kitty and if I wasn’t paying attention and she wanted in I would sometimes find her half way up the screen door!

For the Brave

georgia-forthebrave

Georgia created this cute card using the saluting kids from Maple Lane. She stamped them on white cardstock and then colored them in adding shadows and details. I love her use of primary colors and the fact that she mimicked the polka dots of the red ribbon in the shirts and leggings of the girls.

Veronica and her butterflies

Filed Under DT: Judy, People | 1 Comment

judy-butterfly

Judy created this cute little card using Veronica and her butterflies. She started with aqua colored cardstock, drew the scallop border on both the yellow and butterfly papers and cut them out with scissors. Same for the scalloped edge circle (she’s so good with her scissors). :) Veronica was stamped and colored with Copics. The grass and accents were added with a watercolor pencil. Very cute Judy!

And remember if you’re patient and quiet and very still the butterflies might just visit you too.

A new puppy!

Crafty Math Chick says she just loves this image! I do too. :)

I don’t know how she did it but she found the perfect embellishments – the pawprint brads and the background paper, “Fido”, “Spike”, “Princess”, “Spot”… too cute! I love all the layers and her touch of a shadow under and around the stamped image. Great coloring job. Two paws up for sure!

Birthday Wishes with Fairy Blossom

Filed Under Birthday, DT: Thao, Fairies, Nature, Spring | 3 Comments

thao-fairyblossom

Thao found some Martha Stewart flower embellishment stickers that were just perfect! She stamped Fairy Blossom and colored her in using Copic markers. She added a little shimmer to her wings – I think that’s a must for fairies, don’t you. :) She then stuck on the flowers so that it seemed like they were just too fragrant for Fairy Blossom to resist. Absolutely lovely.

What’s Edna yelling at now

Filed Under DT: Judy, People | 1 Comment

judy-edna

Judy created this card using Edna -  we never know what she’s yelling at, only that she always seems to always be yelling at something or someone (Edna that is, certainly not Judy). :)

She started off by layering coordinating dot paper on top of the pink cardstock. She stamped Edna and colored her in with Copic markers (Judy says they have become her favorite). She drew the flowers on her dress. She says you could certainly add a sentiment but for her the hands on the hips said it all. :)

Mandy is at it again! This is such a cute little boy’s card. I love the striped star burst behind the circle with Casey and Beebo. The embellishments she chose were just wonderful – especially the touch of the compass – ensuring that they’ll never lose their way! Great card!

Some summer fun

Filed Under DT: Judy, People, Summer | 1 Comment

judy-philip-lilly

Judy started this card with white cardstock and then layered red cardstock on top. She added a piece of blue gingham paper and then a still smaller piece of polka dot paper on top of that. She drew the “beach” using Copic markers and then colored all of her stamped images in. She cut them all out and attached them to the card.

Very cute! Both Phillip and Lilly look like they are all ready for a little dip in the cool blue water! Splash!

Happily Ever After

Filed Under DT: Christy, People | 1 Comment

christy-happily-ever-after

This card celebrates love using “Main Squeeze” image. Oh don’t Herbert and Mildred look so happy.

Christy colored the image with Copics and adhered to the main card base with foam squares. The hearts around the edge were stamped and colored with Sakura Glaze gel Pen. Can you see the shiny coating the glaze pens create? I sure can. I think I’m going to have to try one of those markers myself!  The sentiment was attached with thread and a few frayed edges give the card a softer feel.

What a lovely card and adding those shiny little red hearts was a grand idea!

Family history journals

Filed Under DT: Kriss, Nature, Other projects | 2 Comments

kriss-books-sm

For the longest time Kriss says she’s been wanting to do a genealogy search but has just never gotten around to it. NBC has launched a show, “Who Do You Think You Are?” in which each episode takes viewers on an emotional and personal quest into some of America’s best-known celebrities family history.

Well this was just the jump start she needed and what better way to start things off then by creating some wonderful journals to keep all her findings in.

She says she spent a couple weeks laying the foundation for each family tree and it’s been fascinating! Although she did note that she sure hopes her relatives took root and became mighty oak trees…and just didn’t remain a bunch of nuts like the rubber stamp says. Ha ha. :)

Wonderful job Kriss! I’m sure you’ll have a great time filling these up!

Happy graduation

Filed Under DT: Christy, Dogs, People | 1 Comment

christy-graduation

Christy says this card came about because of a silly joke, so the card sentiment of course could be changed to fit other occasions as well.

The image was stamped and colored with Copics.  The tiny graduation hats are computer generated, cut out, and glued to the heads of those intelligent robots. The black ribbon was added to the top and the 2010 is hanging down with a little yellow safety pin.

She adds, “While this is a silly card, its seriously filled with wonderful graduation wishes.”

Thanks for the project Christy. When I first drew these guys I thought they were just silly. Apparently I was wrong since they are all sporting mortar boards – this most certainly means they must have passed all their exams!
