Daffodil Ellie

Happy February!

Can you believe it's already February? It's time for a new challenge over at The Paper Nest Dolls Challenge Blog! As always, the theme is "Anything Goes".  I know Valentine's Day is on the way, but for this project, I thought I'd make a flowery spring card using the beautiful "Daffodil Ellie" which is also available as a digital stamp! I hope that you like my creation.

I colored the image with my copic markers and paired her with some pretty designer cardstock from Echo Park's "Spring" Collection. I also added some die cuts by Cottage Cutz as well as some Nuvo Crystal & Jewel Drops.

Thank you for stopping by! I look forward to seeing your creations this month. Be sure to check out all the adorable images that Christine has to offer over at Paper Nest Dolls Online Store! Have a great day!

Emma With Camera

Hello everyone!

I hope all of you are doing well. I'm getting over a bit of a cold, hopefully I'll feel better in a couple more days. Anyway, I'm here to share with you some inspiration for this month's challenge. For today's project, I used "Emma with Camera". I hope that you like what I've created with her.

I colored the image with my copic markers as usual and had some with my Nuvo Glitter Drops around the image. The die is by LDRS Creative, ink (black soot from Ranger Ink), enamel dots are by Doodlebug Design, and pretty patterned papers are by Sugar Pea Designs and My Favorite Things.

I hope that I have inspired you to enter your own creations into this month's "Anything Goes" challenge here on the Challenge Blog! I look forward to seeing your creations. Feel free to leave some comments if you like and for more photos & details, you can check the post out over on my blog. Have a great day!

Frankie

Hello Crafters!

I hope you're staying safe away from hurricanes, floods and fires! It's really been a weird year for weather this year! Christine is trying to recover from the destruction from the storm, so you'll have to contact her to purchase if you'd like to purchase the rubber stamp. Luckily, it's still just sunny where I'm at in Oregon but the nice weather is coming to an end unfortunately. Anyway, I'm here to share with you my next creation! I've used the new image "Frankie" for my card to get you inspired to start working on some Halloween crafts if that's your sort of thing. I don't typically make many Halloween creations because I don't give out many cards for it, but just couldn't pass up the opportunity to color up this cutie! I hope you love her as much as I do!

I played around with some different color combos with my copic markers on this one. She was fun to color up! The patterned paper I used is by Doodlebug Design, as well as the enamel dots. Lastly, I added a die cut by La La Land Crafts from my stash.
