Merry Merry Quite Contrary.....

This is a super awesome image by Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!! I bought this image at her Krafty Day in September-it was a blaasttt!! She is a super sweet girl with a really fun and energetic DT!!!
Anyway this is my fav image from her Christmas collection and her name is...you guessed it....Merry!!

I made this little beauty for lovely Kristas challenge- Funky Fibers-notice the hemp fibers!!I had my image coloured to match my paper and left it for a week, then I saw Kristas challenge so I thought that would be a great time to pull out my hemp string!! So it kinda has this vintage country feel now and I really like the way she turned out!!Again, another copic creation sponsored by Melanies copics-hehe-xoxo mel!!!

Well, I feel that I just may be converted over to the Copic side from my Tombows-as much as I enjoy the water-colours, when they cooperate, I haven't been nearly as frustrated with the copics!! Weird eh?

Well ladies I'm off for now,but there's lots more where this came from!!Haha :)

Valentines Love

I hope you all had a great weekend and are looking forward to this coming Easter weekend, not only because of its HUGE significance but also because the temperature will be in the 20 degree margin!!!
Hip hip hooray!!!


This card was made for Phebe at The Town Scrapper for Valentines Day. The image is one of the last from the Humble Pie Collection.
I had a good time coloring up this image, and this was the first time I tried doing denim and the color combination turned out pretty good!!!!
Again I used my Basic Grey DP for this card and my Tombows- you know the drill, and you can find all these papers and embellishments at The Town Scrapper!!!
Stay tuned for more!!!
yippeee!

We've Moved (not really though!)

Well this is my first attempt at an easel card! This card was made from a stamp collection by the Greeting Farm!! Its hard to see in my pictures but the card says "We've Moved" on the little tag on the base!

Again I used my Tombows and some really awesome Basic Grey DP and brads! The ribbon is from Micheal's and the flower embellishments are from walmart. They were originally different colours but I coloured them to match the card!
I had a lot of fun making this card and I was itchin to use the background piece of DP by Basic grey! This card was made for The Town Scrapper and the stamp set is also sold there!!
There is another house image in the set and a couple of sentiments to match for different occasions! This card is on display at The Town Scrapper in Petrolia!
Thanks for viewing!!

Popcorn the Bear

This sweet little guy is Popcorn the Bear, which my friend Melanie so graciously let me stamp! I used him to make a sympathy card for my sweet friend at work, who recently lost a very dear friend to a long and painful battle with cancer! :(

I colored Popcorn with my watercolors (tombows) and just used some simple papers I had- mainly Basic Grey- but I wanted him to be the focus! Popcorn is also a very large image so it becomes difficult to try to do crazy layouts with him!

I LOVED the end result of this card. I don't believe i photographed the inside of the card but it was matted with more Basic Grey and there was a matching duck stamped in the bottom left corner too! I find it quite difficult to make fur look real with my tombows as the definition is lost in blending, keep in mind I have never taken a class for Tombows or any watercolor methods, so that doesn't help either!! hehe :)

Well this was a personal project that I thought I would share because I was very happy with him!! He's soooo cute!

Thanks for visiting!!
