One of my entries for the TGF Gardener DT call. There are so many talented gals vying for spots. I'll have to keep my fingers crossed. For this journal, I colored Princess Anya in many shades of purple Copic Markers and added a little sparkle, Snow Angel glimer mist, and a little grunge, Olive Vine glimmer mist. And, I highlighted her hair in Seafoam glimmer mist. The background is a cool trick I discovered while experimenting with my Cuttlebug. It is made of Fantasy Film.

Don't forget to check out TGF's March 1st release!! So CUTE!

And, one of my checkbook covers I finally got finished!

Background: SU Regal Rose

Edges: Colorbox Fluid Chalk Tangerine, VersaMagic Aquatic Splash

Bunny: Copic Markers; Moon White, Aqua, Yellow Green, Mellow Peach, Colorless Blender

Glimmer Mist: Snow Angel

Detail: Versafine Onyx

To Do List

So many things on my to do list. One of them being to make some new checkbook and debit/ID holders like the ones above. It will be a lovely create & coffee day. I have the new My Little Shoebox papers and K & Company Que Sera Sera to inspire me today!

"CASE that Anya" and "Sketch for Candy"

This is my card for the CASE that Anya Challenge at Club Anya. Our mission was to case a card from the TGF Galleria. I chose WickedPixie's gorgeous Pixie Anya card. The wings are by B Line Designs. I glimmer misted them in Huckleberry, Twilight, and Sunkissed Peach. I added some Fantasy Film accents. That beautiful paper directly behind Anya is from K & Company's new Que Sera Sera line. And, I cannot resist giving them my favorite color hair in Copic's Cool Shadow (my all time fav color) and Aqua.




And, here's my submission for the TGF Sketch for Candy, featuring Princess Anya. The butterfly is from the set Sweet Deal. All colored with Copics, a little Snow Angel Glimmer Mist in Anya's hair and finished off with some Stickles. The challenge was based on Marie's great sketch:

A Mermaid til Next We Meet........

I've been so busy the last few days....I'll be back with all my challenge/sketch/DT call entries VERY soon.

Until then, here's an old mermaid card I did with one of my favorite techniques. I used sponge daubers to apply several colors of VersaMagic over an embossed image. The mermaid stamp is by Ducks In A Row and the floursishes are Autumn Leaves.

Be back soon!

Twhooo Many Owls!

I have an addiction to owl stamps. This adorable owl is one of my new favorites by My Cute Stamps and the set is called You're Tweet! It's a large solid owl and makes for an easy card to whip out. Gives your hand a break after all that Copic coloring!!

This is a new set by Crafty Secrets called Fairyland. This card is currently on display at Cool Scrapbook Stuff in the new Crafty Secrets section! Love this line! Colored with Copics, and yes, I colored the flowers and nest in with glimmer mist. I can't help myself. ;o)

Club Anya First Sketch Challenge

These are ATC's based off the Club Anya Sketch Challenge #1. I then designed a card to attach them to that was also based on the Sketch. I cut an ATC sized glassine envelope to place the ATC's in. They feature TGF's Mermaid Anya and Princess Anya all colored in Copics. The seahorse was created with a Martha Stewart punch.

And that yummy black and cream cardstock is by Graphic 45. It's an older release, but one of my favorites!!
