Kanji Release.... Crafter's Companion

Good morning! I am really running behind today....so forgive if I keep this super short!   Crafter's Companion next release are going to be the Kanji stamps. Here is a card I made using the Happy Birthday image by Kanji.

For me this was a tough one...1 because it's not my normal style but mostly because there was NO COLORING! lol  I haven't made a card without coloring in sooo very long!  Felt alittle strange. I kept looking at it thinking it needed more, was missing something. I think that was it....I didn't spend enough "time" with it via coloring!

Thats all for today....Have a GREAT weekend!  It's a 3 day weekend for me..so I am SOO HAPPY! Hope to get some quailty play time in!

TGF - You and Me

Morning!  First I want to say Happy Birthday to my sweet baby boy! Ok, so he's not a baby anymore...but he is my baby!! He is 12 today and I can't believe that I have a 12 year old. It just seems so crazy!!! He's an awesome kid and the best son anybody could have! So Happy Birthday to him!   Now we have to decided how we are going to celebrate it!  As he gets older he doesn't want the typical birthday parties. He is usually quite content on just having some friends over and playing video games. So I'm sure thats what we will end up doing. A couple of friends asked, "Ohhhh what kind of cake are you going to make him".  They know I LOVE to bake and they also love to eat what I make....funny thing is....my son doesn't want a cake from me. Nope..he wants donuts. Just plain old Dunkin Donuts. So the last few years I go out and buy his donuts and then stack them up and put a candle on them to make a donut cake! lol He is perfectly happy with that!

Today I am showing another cutie from the latest release at The Greeting Farm. I love these little Ms Anya Garlands.  I also used the "Made with Love" from the Made By clear stamp set.

I found these adorable, colorful heart papers in my stash. I am trying to use up some of my supplies!! I am a paper hoarder and I have so much! Now I just love the 6x6 pads and I ALWAYS grab for those first. However, next to all those are loads of 12x12 papers, most new but alot from my scrapbooking days. I have weeded some of those old styles and looks out and donated it to the kids school, but I still have loads.

Thats all from me today.

Favorite thing.....

Hello everybody!  Here for another challenge at Magnolia-licious. It's a color challenge and we want to see Red, Pink and Whites.  I have used litte Ice Skating Tilda. I know it's easy for most of you to use a "wintery" tilda this time of year....but not so much for me! To me winter basically ends after Christmas and it just doesn't feel right using "wintery" images afterwards. Strange I know...but it's true. I think it has to do with the 81 degree weather we keep having here in Florida!

I didn't see Ice Skating Tilda in the Magnolia-licious store. However, I do know that Diana is always getting in shipments, so she is sure to come back around soon. I colored her up with my Copic markers and added some stickles to the ground to look like ice.  And....although this is a wintery tilda, she has those little hearts on her and I paired it with a cute little saying which could easily go for a Valentine card! ;-)

Now it's your turn. Please hop over to the Challenge blog and check out what the other DT have created for you and by all means join us!!  Diana gives away $25.00 gift certificate at the end of every challenge!

Good morning, it's time for a inspirational Monday at the Crafter's Companion Challenge Blog. This little cutie is from the new release, Strawberry Kisses. It's called TOGETHER and it is NOW AVAILABLE at Crafter's Companion.

I have colored it with Copic Markers. That cool scalloped card was actually bought like that!  I love them, they are even embossed with the little swiss dots. My LSS carries them.

Don't forget the challenge is still running at the Crafters Companion Challenge Blog, and this month is ANYTHING GOES. You must use a CC stamp, so pull out those Popcorn the bears, or SWALK or you Humpreys and join us. The prizes are awesome!!!

Wild Thing......

Hello Peeps! Why do weekends FLY by!!!  I hate it!  I made a quick trip to our Local Farmers Market this morning. It was GORGEOUS out. Perfect day for it and there were so many vendors. We have one of the best Farmers Markets around . It's a perfect place to spend a Saturday morning. The food is amazing too. They have so much more than just your typical fruits and veggies. I came home with bags full of fresh veggies, some yummy fruit and some homemade soaps. We even had breakfast there too! Then my daughter and I got some play time in at A Scrapbook Store, my LSS. We hung out for a few hours just coloring, came home and played some Pictionary on the WII. Funny story, my husband drew a telephone, but he drew an old style rotary looking phone, would you believe my daughter had NO IDEA what it was! She was totally perplexed. LMAO. We were cracking up...it was so funny.

Have you seen the latest Sweet Love release from Magnolia-licious? They are super adorable. I liked so many of them but this was one of my favorites. I figured I best get some of these things posted before I run out of time and Valentines day sneeks up on me!

I tried adding some deep shading by using some W's. I colored the stripes in black but then added some white with a Sharpie poster pen so they would "pop".

The paper is from a Bo Bunny 6x6 pad.  I drew the leaves and cut and distress them.

Thats about all for tonight. Have a great one!

Lovely as a Tree - Art Kure

Good morning....Tracy here today. So are you getting excited about all the newest releases at Crafter's Companion? Just hold your horses, they will be here soon I promise! Until then we get to tease you with lots of beautiful cards and hopefully get you inspired to create away!!

My card for today is this beautiful tree by Art Kure! I added some dots with my Spectrum Noir Markers to look like changing fall leaves.

I then punched out some leaves, scored and sanded them to distress them a little bit. Added a nice big button...and a beautiful twine bow. Cute simple and fast! That's how I like to keep it. Thanks for coming by today!  Great things are happening........
