Harvest Mice

Today I have three cards that I made with the Harvest Mice stamp set by Birdie Brown. Thought I wasn't going to find the time to get them made before Thanksgiving, but luckily I did. They were too cute not to get them colored this year.  

I colored all my images with Copics and then cut them out with my Scan n Cut 2.  Loving it for just this reason.  I did the same layout on all my cards, and just changed the papers and colored image.

I used various dies from My Favorite Things and Lawn Fawn and papers from Doodlebug and Lawn Fawn.  The enamel dots are from Doodlebug as well.  I was very happy with how they all turned out.

Autumn Squirrel

I have been on a crafting roll this week.  Turning all my colored images from the thirty day color challenge in October into cards.  I have another Bugaboo Stamps image today.  I love the super cute images Jodi has on her website.  This time I have Autumn Squirrel.

I rarely enter challenges because I never seem to have the time, so that fact that I am entering the challenge over at Catch the Bug Blog twice in one week is amazing to me.

Crabby Cat

Last month I participated in the challenge over at The Daily Marker and I have several colored images sitting on my desk now.  This month I am turning those colored images into cards.  Today I have Crabby Cat from Bugaboo Stamps.

I love the expression on his face.  It makes me think of the Grinch.  I think this is what he would look like if he were a cat.  I did a pretty simple layout, just using a few layers of paper.

I am entering this card into the November anything goes challenge over at Bugaboo Stamps.

Turkey Cards

Last year my Girl Scout troop made Christmas cards for the nursing home that is right down the street from us.  This year our Girl Scout Community made Halloween cards for the nursing home and cards for Operation Welcome Home for the soldiers.  

Not to let the girls have all the fun, I thought I would make some myself this time.  I made about 20 cards the other night for Thanksgiving. Nothing fancy, but I did get to use my Cricuit and my favorite cartridge "Create a Critter", and some dies with my BigShot.  

I plan to have the girls deliver them to the nursing home the week of Thanksgiving when they are going to play board games with them.  Love the service projects we get to do through Scouts. 

Jennifer McGuire is hosting a month long of Share Handmade Kindness and I think it is the greatest idea.  Let's share our joy of making things with everyone.

Pumpkin Queen

I love fall and all the beautiful colors.  Fall and Halloween images are probably some of my favorite to color.  

Today I have Mavis Pumpkin Queen.  For once I remembered to pick out my papers first, and then to pick out my Copics colors before starting to color.  If only I remembered to do that more often :).

I kept the card pretty simple with just some layers of paper. I am pretty happy with how the final card turned out.

I am entering this at the Tiddly Inks Fall Colours Challenge.

Ghost Kitty

I have a Halloween card to share today. I love fall and Halloween.  All the beautiful colors.  Today I have used a digi from Gerda Steiner Designs.  So many cute images over there.  Meet Ghost Kitty.  I did a smaller version for a lunch note for one of my daughter's.

I colored the kitty with Copics and paired it with some paper from the Doodlebug October 31st 6x6 pad.  I used some of the candy corn sprinkles and glitter sprinkles.  The sentiment is from the Birdie Brown, Witch Way is the Candy stamp set from last year.

Chicken in on you

I'm back with another card made from some of the stamps I picked up on Saturday.  I love the cute little animals, just wish they stamped a little crisper.

I made this card for my sister who has been recovering for about 11 weeks, after falling off a ladder at work.  

Darcie's Stamps - Barnyard Buddies

I stamped the adorable chicken from the Barnyard Buddies set.  A very easy image to color with Copics.  I paired it with papers from the brand new Doodlebug Fall Friends 6x6 paper pad, and added a little Glossy Accents to the feet, beak, and other parts of the chicken.  Hopefully this little guy will bring a smile to her face.
