Puppy Love

I hope you all have had a fantastic weekend.  I pretty much stayed in and made some cards.  It was too cold to get out and do much.  I know so many of you guys have much colder weather than I do since I live in Texas.  But, I'm just not used to it and when it does get cold I stay in where it is warm.

So, I have one of the cards I made to show you today.  This little cutie is Puppy Love by Conie Fong for Sweet Pea Stamps.  I thought she was such a cute little fairy and a very happy cute puppy too.

Supplies Used:
Cardstock - CS is Bazzill and DP is SU Spice Cake

Happy New Year

Happy New Year!  Well 2013 is here.  I hope to get in a lot of crafting again this year.  How about you?  Today, we have a brand new challenge from Twisted Tuesday.  This is the first challenge for the year and it is a Sketch Challenge.  THE TWIST ~ What's a party without confetti or streamers? Use something on your creation that reminds you of one (or both) of these party favorites.  Here is the sketch.

 

I used an older digi from Saturated Canary, but I thought she looked like she could be celebrating the new year.  This is Ellie's Birthday.  And even though it is a birthday stamp, I thought it worked pretty good for New Year's too.

Cardstock - CS is SU Cherry Cobbler and the DP is from my scrap stash
Stamps - Saturated Canary and SU Teeny Tiny Wishes

Seeing Double

How's your weekend going?  Mine is going good so far.  It is cold here so I have not been out too much.  Instead I stayed in and made another card today.  This is the cutest little image from Mo Manning.  Or maybe I should say images.  This stamp is called Two Tutus. 

I thought it was perfect for the Seeing Double challenge at Sweet Stampin'.  I have two images, two ribbons, and two gems.  I used SU Daffodil Delight as my card base and Making Memories English Garden as my DP.  Spellbinder  Rectangle and Fleur De Lis Rectangle die cuts were used.  The sentiment stamp is from Wild Rose Studio and I used circle punches to cut it out with.  The flowers and ribbons are from Michaels and the gems are from my stash.  I also used Crystal Stickles to give a little sparkle to the tutus, wings and wands.  And I used Liquid Pearls in White for the center of the flowers in their hair.

I also used a sketch from Sketch Saturday:

I colored my images with these Copic markers:

Skin - E000, E00, E01, R20
Hair - E31, E33, YR12, YR14, YR31
Tutus - B00000, B000, B21, B23, G12, G14, G20, G21

I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas.  Ours was really nice.  It started on December 22 when my youngest son married a wonderful girl he knew in high school.  They hadn't seen each other in 10 or 11 years when they met at the airport in January waiting for the same flight.  They had a beautiful Christmas wedding.  We had Christmas celebrations from Sunday through Wednesday.  And this included going and celebrating with my 90 year old mom.  It was a wonderful time for all.

 

I decided to make a thank you card today.  Mostly because I wanted to say thank you to all my followers and blogging friends.  Your comments over the past year has really kept me motivated and I love reading them.  So, Thank You.
