3 Wishes
Well, here I am again with a new stamp that I just got. This is "3 Wishes" by Sylvia Zet for SCACD. Isn't she just the cutest? And the surprise when a fairy pops out of the gift is just precious. She is colored with Copic Sketch markers (BG07, BG72, E00, E01, E50, E51, E53, R20, R81, R83, R85, Y13, YR14) and Copic Spica pens (Turquoise, Buttermilk, Melon, Lemon, Pink). I also used Stardust Stickles on the stars.
The CS is Bazzill and the DP is Crate Paper's Curtains. The image is cut out with Spellbinders Circle die cut and layered on Spellbinders Scallop Circle die cut. The stars are punched out with punches by the Punch Bunch. The sentiment is a stamp by Stampin Up from the Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set. It is inked with Stampin Up's Marina Mist. I used the Stampin Up Word Window and Modern Label punches with the sentiment. The pleated ribbon/lace is from Hobby Lobby.

The sentiment is also stamped with Soft Suede. The large butterfly is punched out with the coordinating butterfly punch. The CS and ribbon is also from Stampin Up. The border punch and pearls are by Martha Stewart Crafts.

This is a digi image by Wee Stamps. Isn't she just gorgeous? I colored her with Copic Sketch markers (BV00, BV02, E00, E01, E50, E51, E53, R20, YG11) and Copic Spica pens (Lavender, Melon, Lemon and Gold). I also used Stardust Stickles on her wings.

The sentiment was punched out with punches from Stampin Up (Word Window and Modern Label). I used Spellbinder die cuts with the image (Circle and Lacey Circle).

Butterfly Wishes

I then used some bubble stickers from my stash to put on the body and wings of the butterfly. I used the Spellbinder Nestabilities Oval and Scalloped Oval die cuts. I also used the butterfly embossing folder from Craft Concepts. The flower is by Prima. The sentiment I typed up and punched it out with Stampin Up punches.

There Was a Little Girl.......
Hi everyone! I hope you are having a fablous weekend. I know I am. I got to go to my favorite scrapbook store, Archiver's. I just love that store. I can always find too much that I want. It is a good thing that it is an hour away, so I don't get there too often or I would be broke.
This little digi darling is Summer by Sugar Nellie. Isn't she just adorable. I thought she fit the Stamps R Us Challenge "There Was a Little Girl" perfectly. She is not quite a little girl anymore, but growing into a young lady. I colored her with Copic Sketch markers (BG11, BG23, BG32, E01, E11, E50, E51, E53, E57, R81, R83). The CS is Stampin Up and the DP is from My Mind's Eye - Lime Twist - Happy Go Lucky. I used the Spellbinder Nestabilities Deckled Rectangle. The flowers are punches by Stampin Up and McGill. The pearls are from my stash. The sentiment is from Stampin Up's Teeny Tiny Wishes and it is inked in Stampin Up's Rich Razzleberry ink. It is punched out with two punches from Stampin Up. The ribbon/lace is some that I bought at a fabric store.

So, I had to get in another card. This is a digi image from Phindy's Place. She is having a good summer day with that chocolate ice cream. I used Copic Sketch markers to color her (E00, E01, E21, E35, R20, R81, R83, R85, RV00, Y13, Y15, Y21, Y23). I used a sketch from A Gem of a Challenge. The CS is Stampin Up and the DP is from Dream Street Papers and Imaginisce Garden Party Collection. The sentiment is from Whimsy Stamps and is inked up with Early Expresso and punched out with a scalloped oval punch by Stampin Up.

She is colored in Copic Sketch markers (E00, E01, E35, E37, R20, R24, R27, Y06, YG23, YG25, YR02, YR04) and Copic Spica pens (Black, Lemon, Red). The CS is from Stampin Up and the DP is Basic Grey's Hello Luscious. The design is from a sketch from Magical Mondays Challenge. The ribbon is from Stampin Up and the rhinestones are from my stash.

Splish Splash!
It seems like forever since I last posted. Life just seems to keep getting in the way of my crafting time. But, I'm back today with a cute little Mermaid. This is from Pollycraft. She is so cute! I colored her with Copic Sketch Markers (B000, B01, BV000, BV00, BV02, BV04, E00, E01, R20, Y21, Y23, YR21). The CS is Stampin Up and I used paper from my stash and I do not know where it came from. Except the beaded oval is by Bo-Bunny. I used Spellbinder Nestabilities Oval and Beaded Oval die cuts. The flowers and large purple pearls are from my stash and the tiny lavender pearls are from Martha Stewart Crafts.

Dragonfly Flight
Sometimes the camera is not too kind. This picture of my card does not do it justice. The blue cardstock is really a bluegreen and blends really well with the designer paper, but does not in this picture. Anyway, this is what I have today.
This little image is by Elizabeth Bell for Belles and Whistles. And it is called Dragonfly Flight. She is so cute. She is colored in Copic Sketch markers (BG70, BG72, E00, E01, E31, E33, E53, YR000, YR00, YR01, YR02, YR04) and Copic Spica pens (Silver, Clear, Melon). I used Stickles Icicles on the dragonfly wings and Diamond on the little fairy's wings. The CS is Stampin Up and the DP is by My Mind's Eye - Stella Rose - Mabel. I used the dragonfly embossing folder from Craft Concepts. The flower is by Prima and the button is Basic Grey. The twine is Honeydew from The Twinery.
I plan to enter this card in these challenges:

There's Magic in the Air!
Isn't this just the sweetest image? This adorable fairy is Wee Snippet by Crissy Armstrong for Whimsy Stamps. I think she is just the cutest. I colored her with Copic Sketch markers (BG05, E00, E01, E50, E51, E53, R02, R83, R85, YG03, YG06, YG11, YG13). I also used Copic Spica pens (Clear, Melon, Baby Blue) and her wings are covered with Stardust Stickles. The CS is Stampin Up and the DP is Watercolor Bouquet by K & Company. The mushroom cap is paper pieced with some of the DP. Here is a close up of the image.
The Cuttlebug embossing folder was used on the scalloped circle. I used Spellbinder Nestabilities Circle and Scalloped Circle. The butterfly is by Flora Doodles and the pearls are from my stash. This pretty flower is by Prima. I thought is was so pretty and looks like something that you could make pretty easily with the right material and die cuts. Here is a closeup of the flower.

This image is colored with Copic Sketch markers (BG000, BG01, E00, E01, E33, E35, YG41, Y13, Y15, YR02, YR09). I used the Buttermilk Spica pen on her wings and Stickles Waterfall on the water.

Fun in the Sun!
Fun in the Sun! That is the theme lately on a lot of the challenge blogs. I sure would like to be floating in the pool right now. But, the filter had some problems and the water is green. Thank goodness the pool service is working on it.
This little cutie sure is having fun in the sun. This digi image is one I got the other day from Stitchy Bear Stamps. It seems to fit the theme perfectly. She is colored with Copic Sketch markers (BG01, BG11, BG15, E01, E11, E31, E33, G14, Y00, Y02, and Y23). I used Stickles in Waterfall on the water.

The sentiment is from Stampin Up 's Sunny Fun stamp set and it is punched out with Stampin Up punches.

Fun Times
Well, it has been a few days since I last posted, but life has been busy. We finally got the yard in and it looks great. I took a class on quilling, so you get to see my first attempt to embellish a card with it. Not the greatest, but okay. The center should have been a little bigger I think.
Anyway, on to the card. This is an older Maggie called Tilda with a Swimsuit and the Bridge Deck from the Party and Vacation collection. But, I think she is so cute. She is colored iwith Copic Sketch markers (E00, E01, R20, YR12, YR14, B41, B45, Y23, Y32, W1, W3, and BG01). I used the Waterfall Stickles on the water and Stardust Stickles on her wings. The CS is Stampin Up and the DP is Making Memories' English Garden. The sun I quilled with yellow graduated quilling strips from Quilled Creations.

The CS is Bazzill and DP is Basic Grey's Sweet Threads. I used a Sizzix embossing folder and Spellbinder Nestabilities Circle and Scalloped Circle.

The yellow button is from Basic Grey and the orange one is from my stash. The sentiment is punched out with punches from Stampin Up.

Summertime!
Well, don't this look like fun! Relaxing on the beach soaking up some warm rays. It has been a couple of years since I have been to the beach. It's only about a 5 hour drive, but seems forever to get there. Oh, but there is nothing like fresh seafood.
My bathing beauty is Florence by Kraftin Kimmie. She's a little old fashioned in the bathing suit category, but a cutie just the same. She is colored with Copic Sketch markers (BG23, BG32, C5, C7, E01, E11, E35, E37, E40, E42, E57, E93, and R37) and Copic Spica pens (turquiose and clear).
