Can anyone tell me what Spring is like?  I think I’ve forgotten!  LOL.  We had one or two nice days but then it was back to snow and freezing temps.  Yuck.  This morning it was only 16 degrees here.  Ugh.  It was really beautiful, though, with the snow in the trees against a deep blue sky but you didn’t hear me say that!  LOL.  I’ve also been a bit sick the past two weeks so I guess that doesn’t help my mood.

On a brighter note, I do have a few new cards to share.  I had been working on another recipe swap and it was getting a bit boring making so many of the same design.  It felt good to finally make a quick card…instant gratification is one thing I like about this hobby!  Plus I also got a chance to play with my new Promarkers!  Some of my friends overseas have been using them and I’ve wanted to try them for quite some time.  So it was fun getting a chance to play with these markers at CHA!  They are very similar to Copics but I’m really liking the fine bullet tip they have.  They’re not refillable but they are much cheaper to purchase. 

Here I colored the C.C. Designs Big Cupcake with Promarkers…I have a limited number of colors right now so I used a skin tone over a brighter yellow to tone it down to match the papers better. 

I colored another image the same day and I have a few that I colored out at CHA waiting to be finished into cards so I will definitely be back with more Promarker samples.

Hope you are having a great start to the weekend!

Today starts the previews for the new March releases at All That Scraps.  And I have a card to share using the sweet Birthday Violet image.  Since her name is Violet, I just had to make a purple card, right? 

How cute is that big ‘ol candle in the cupcake?!

I added some dots to her bow and jumper with my Copic marker, as well as some stripes to the candle.  Oh, and I added some dots to the sentiment too…you’ll see more of the new sentiments later.  😉  But I can tell you they are fabulous!

Violet was cut out and popped up on dimensionals.  Some Stickles was applied to the flame and her wings.

Thanks for stopping by!  Check out the other samples on the ATS blog and I’ll pop back in tomorrow with a little something from another stamping get together this past weekend.

As promised, I will still have some C.C. Designs cards to share the next few weeks.  Here’s one that I made a few days ago using the Bouquet Birgitta image. 

And here’s a pic of the inside…I used some scraps left from the front to decorate the inside…

I also used the Tags It Stamp and Die set to make the flowers, tag, and sentiments.

Hello!  Today at All That Scraps we are previewing the last set, AmyR’s Get Well Sentiments.  And I just had to pair them up with some of the other new releases…the Bouquet Basket and the Tag Die set.  They all go so well together!

I stamped my first sentiment right inside the basket and added some of the cute flowers from the Tag die set.

I cut the flowers out and then colored the centers with a Copic marker.  And I added some more flowers to the inside with another sentiment from Amy’s set. 

I just loved how it turned out and I hope you like it too!  Enjoy your weekend…and be sure to pop into All That Scraps on Monday for the release of these cute products!

Hello friends!  I typed this up before I left for CHA so right about now I should be pretty much exhausted…LOL…and heading back home.  I bet my own bed will feel good.  ;^)

Yesterday at All That Scraps the February previews began.  Did you see the awesome basket that Christine has this month?  *love!*  I used it on a card which I will show on Saturday.  But today we are previewing her new stamp, Flower Kiki.  Here’s what I made…

I started with another Vera Bradley notecard that I saved a few years ago.  I just couldn’t toss it…it’s so pretty!  I layered it onto a green card base and pulled colors from it to color miss Kiki.  I decided that it needed a contrasting color though…and I think the blue fit well.

Thanks for stopping by!  Check out the new releases on the ATS blog.

TGIF!  Today I have another valentine from the C.C. Designs January release.  I know a few little girls who love unicorns so this new image called Meadow was just perfect!

The shades of pink are off a bit in the photo…I had a tough time adjusting the pics.  The unicorn was paper pieced with the same paper as the background. 

And here’s a pic of the inside…

That’s it for today.  I hope you have a great weekend!
