This has been a *crazy* week for me, and I've been a bad blogger. I haven't even stamped once! But I do have some wonderful blog candy to show you that Stacy is giving away. Check it out here!! Hopefully I'll have time to make a card or two this weekend. See you then!
Figured I'd better post while I could, since I'm going to be pretty busy tomorrow. :) Here's my "Halloween" card for the Spoonful of Sugar challenge. Probably more of a fall card, but I think it will pass! :) I colored with my three copics, my SU markers and my prismacolors. The dp is retired SU and the sentiment is Studio G. The sketch is actually the same as the last card, just switched up a bit. OK - time to clean up now! Thanks for stopping by!
This little Penny Black puppy carries lots of birthday wishes. He's colored with prismacolors and OMS and my Stampin Up markers, and I used my new white Signo gel pen for the highlights on his nose and ears. The sketch is compliments of the Just Christmas and Birthday Cards blog.
Well, I did it. I followed one of the layer upon layer sketches that are favored by European stampers and actually like it!! The little monkeys and blanket are from Scrapmagasinet, and the sketch is this week's challenge on the Scrapmagasinet DT blog. Aren't they fun?? I love the look of all the designer paper together! :) The monkeys are colored with my SU markers and popped up on their little blanket, and the saying is from The Angel Company. Thanks for stopping by!
Tilda makes an appearance tonight all dressed in her autumn colors. I used some of my favorite colors... mustard, burgundy, rust... aren't they just *rich*??? :) I colored Tilda with my SU markers. Wish I had a few Copics for her face. Maybe someday! The background is CC Designs Polka Dots Background stamp. I used my Threading Water punch on the rust layer, then pierced below it and added a little Stampin Up flourish. The word is from PaperTrey Ink's Mixed Messages - a set I have to get since this was just an image someone stamped for me, and I love how it fits in the flower!! 
The card candy that I received in the recent challenge that I wrote about included this cute little owl, tree and saying. My job was to use the card candy to make a card to send on to the next person in my group. It was SO easy - since all the work was already done for me. All I needed to do was attach the different piece to the card base and add some faux stitching lines. What fun!! Thanks for the candy, Carole!!
It's autumn! Leaves are falling, it's chilly, and there are fresh orchard apples at the farmer's market. Mmmmmmmmm..... :) I watercolored Tilda with my SU markers and added some depth around the edges with my linen distress ink pad. The sentiment is from TAC and the layout is from SplitCoast. I've heard of other gals starting with the first SplitCoast Sketch and going all the way through to the current one - I think maybe I'll try that next year. They are fun sketches and usually pretty simple.
So does this qualify for the wild animal challenge on Dutch Dare?? He looks pretty wild to me. :) I was using up some retired Brocade dp by Stampin Up to make some card candy for a friend, and decided that I needed some for myself! :) Not sure what card candy is?? I'll post a picture of it tomorrow - well, hopefully. This is "reroof the house, run a garage sale, have friends here for a few days" weekend at my house, so it's going to be a little crazy!!
