Celeste

Happy Tuesday,

I was off with my girls yesterday and was able to find some time to play at my desk (of course, after I helped my youngest daughter make the things she wanted to first).  I finished a couple cards.  Today I am sharing the card I created with a digi image from Little Miss Muffett Stamps.  

Celeste Amberglow Owl - LMMS

So often I just pick an image and color it how I want to and then have to find papers and a design to finish my card.  This time, I actually picked my card design (I used MOJO Monday 432), picked my image, and then picked my papers from the Bo Bunny Pin Cushion paper pad, all before picking my Copics.  I'm quite happy with how it all turned out, and think this little girl and owl as just so sweet.

Thanks for taking the time to stop by,

Mimi's Ladybugs

Happy Friday!  I have been coloring a lot of digi images lately.  I can print them all out and have a stack of them sitting on my desk to color when I have the time.  I love stamping as well, it just seems its easier lately to grab and color.

So, of course, today I have another digi.  This one is from Little Miss Muffett Stamps.  This cute little mouse is called Mimi's Ladybugs. Cuteness overload.  Here's my card.

I stuck to a pretty simple color palette and am very happy with how she turned out.  A few layers of paper and a couple enamel dots to finish her off. I am entering her in the "Anything Goes" challenge over at the Little Miss Muffet Challenges.

Swings and Slides

Hello.  Today I have a digi from Little Miss Muffett and their Swings and Slides line.  It's called Froggy Hat, and she is the cutest little girl.  I colored her during the last thirty day color challenge.

I then layered her with some patterned papers that I cut using the MFT Stitched Mini Scallop Rectangle STAX.

She was super fun to color.  Thanks for stopping by.

Bearable Friends

Happy Monday.  Today I have another digi image from Di's Digi Downloads.  I can't resist those adorable animals she has over there. I've colored Bearable Friends. I colored this image before, but did it in different colors this time.

I used my Copics and stuck to a pretty simple color palette.  I have made several 5 1/4 square cards lately.  I like being able to see more the pattern papers I choose.

Birdie

I'm back today with another entry in the February Color Challenge over at Bugaboo Stamps.  This time I colored up Bugaboo Birdie and used papers from Doodlebug Sugar Shoppe 6x6 pad to add a few layers.

I used an old sentiment I had and a couple enamel dots to finish off my card.

Happiness is...

Oh my, two posts in one day.  I made all those cards this month during the coloring challenge and hadn't posted any of them, so I have a lot of catching up to do.  

I am entering this card in the Di's Digi Designs  two or more dies challenge.

I love this bear.  It's the second time I have colored it; both times with Copics my favorite medium.  I used three dies in this card.  One from Lawn Fawn, one from My Favorite Things, and one from Spellbinders.  A little white gel pen and enamels dots to finish it off. 

Thanks for taking the time to stop by,

Birthday Birdie

It's Leap Day and boy has the month has flown by.  I have been participating in the coloring challenge over at The Daily Marker and have colored every day (yippee!). I have actually finished over forty cards this month.  So excited!  My card stash was really low.  I have been putting them all on my Instagram account and haven't been updating my blog.  Bad me.  

Last week Jodie put out some of the cutest digis over at Bugaboo Stamps.  They are so adorable.  I purchased three of them and colored them all in the colors for the February Color Challenge with Copics.

Here's my first card.  I am entering it in the February Color Challenge.  

Bugaboo Stamps - Birthday Birdie 4

I took my photo a little early and the Glossy Accents was still a little wet.  I used papers from the Doodlebug Sugar Shoppe 6x6 paper pad.  

Thanks so much for stopping by,

The Daily Marker 30 Day Coloring Challenge

I haven't posted in what feels like forever.  I didn't make any cards between Thanksgiving and Christmas and instead worked on felt ornaments to give as gifts.

To get myself back into the swing of things I am participating in the coloring challenge over at The Daily Marker.  Its only day three, but so far I have colored everyday and love seeing what everyone posts.

Here are the images I colored for days 1 and 2.

Day 1 - Bugaboo Stamps

Day 2 - Di's Digidownloads
