It's a Boy Dog!

A co-worker of mine got a dog for her two boys over the weekend. I am so excited for them. Sloopy suggested I make a card for their new arrival, and I wanted to share the results of her suggestion.

The sentiment is a digital stamp from KLM Designs. I printed it on Georgia Pacific cardstock, cut it into a small panel and paper pierced around it.

I've been on a shape card kick, so I used my Cricut to cut a bone shape image using blue cardstock and Making Memories patterned paper. I paper pierced around the patterned paper bone. The dog was cut from a Cuttlebug die and I did a little sponging with Adirondack Latte dye ink around him. I added dog paw ribbon made into a bow to the sentiment.

A very quick and easy creation.

Now, trying to get Sloopy to ink her paw to sign the card. That will be the hard part. LOL.

Have a great day everyone!

Thank You Daisies

I'm delighted to share a card with you this evening. Thank you, relaxing weekend!

This card was made with a new digital image from KLM Designs. I printed the image called "Daisy Border" onto X-Press It cardstock. I colored the image with Copic markers and added brown buttons and embroidery floss to the center of the daisies. The sentiment is from Hero Arts and was stamped with Versafine Black Onyx ink. Patterned paper is from Lasting Impressions and was framed with brown cardstock.

This card was inspired by the current Inspiration Challenge #259 on Splitcoast. The daisy shown here Plaid Pony Vintage inspired my color choice.

Thank you for visiting today. I have lots of cards to share in the upcoming week, and I have FIVE days off starting on Wednesday...THANK YOU! Come back soon, as I hope with my upcoming time off, I'll add more to the "To Share" stash.

You're Sharp

Thanks to a conversation I recently had with my husband, this card emerged. We were talking about cheeses. He is a self-proclaimed cheese connoisseur, and I identify cheese as orange cheese and yellow cheese. He was eating some "extra sharp" cheese the other day, which to me is the orange kind, and we were talking cheeses. Later, I sat down to color this delightful new digital image from KLM Designs and the idea for this card kicked into high gear.

The image was printed onto Georgia Pacific cardstock and colored with Copic markers. I cut around the image with Cutterbee scissors. I placed the image on some panels of brown cardstock and patterned paper from The Paper Studio and Ally's Wonderland. The sentiment is computer generated and the sentiment circle was cut from a Nestabilities die, and the scallop is from a punch. Ribbon was used to put the finishing touches on this card.

Thanks for bearing with my humor. And, as always, thanks for visiting my blog.

KLM Designs ~ It's Official

I am absolutely honored to be a part of the KLM Designs Design Team! Such great images to color. I tell you, I'm drooling over them.

Here's my first official card as a design team member. I decided to use this bird house water globe image (This digital image will be available from KLM Digi Stamps on November 1). I printed it on Georgia Pacific cardstock and colored the image with Copic markers. So much fun doing the wood and the water! I love images with big open spaces!

I then colored a piece of Georgia Pacific paper with Copic marker B91 and ran it through the Cuttlebug with an embossing folder. Various pieces of patterned paper from Paper Adventures and My Mind's Eye were used to create the layers, along with some teal blue cardstock from Hollo's in Cleveland. I sponged around these layers with Adirondack Latte dye ink. Brown brads and small flower embellishments were added to this card for the finishing touches.

I'm so eager to share more creations using images from KLM Designs over the next four months, so stay tuned. Special thanks to Kathryn for offering me this opportunity.

Orange is Boo-tiful!

How adorable is this ghost? He looks like such a friendly little guy, doesn't he? This ghostly image with the jack-o-lanterns is a freebie digital stamp from KLM Digi Stamps .

I printed the image onto Georgia Pacific cardstock and colored it with Copic markers. I then cut out the image with my Cutterbee scissors and placed it onto a circle panel that I cut with a Nestabilities die. The circle was sponged with various dye inks including; SeaShells Cloudy Blue, SeaShells Cool Peri, Vivid Lavender, Vivid Purple, Vivid Sky Blue, and Vivid Ultramarine. A Nestabilities die cut was used for the black cardstock frame around the circle. A white gel pen was used to add the dots on this black frame.

Lasting Impressions patterned paper provides the big panel, along with more black cardstock. A ribbon was added to the card, and the "Boo" sentiment is from My Favorite Things.

I just loved coloring the pumpkins, so I'm going to enter this card into the current Copic Creations Challenge, #36, which is to use orange Copics. Orange is so Boo-tiful.

Thanks so much for checking out my blog today. We've almost made it to the weekend.
