You And Me

Hi Everyone!

How are things in your hemisphere?

I have a new crafty obsession. As you already know I like to sew. But making things for myself is always a disappointment as commercial patterns just don't fit "right". So I'm learning how to draft and alter patterns to fit real people.(as in ..me. lol ) It kind of has my attention consumed right now so I've been  a little distracted.

Anyhoo!

We have a new challenge for you all at Mo's Digital Pencil!

Anything Goes!

I decided to color up Mo's new Sailor boy image (its part of a set and they're all adorable!)

As usual I used my prismacolors and Lyras (Prismas on the suit, hair and bear and Lyras on the skin). The papers are "Harvest Market" by Lilibee Designs.

Dies are Whimsy, button and Jute ribbon is from Bunny Zoes and the sentiment is by Precious Remembrance.

And here's a close up of the boy. :)

Thanks for coming by for a visit!

 I really appreciate all your comments. Blogger continues to be a pain for me in not giving me my reader list in Dashboard so I apologize yet again for not being able to blog hop as I used to. Sometimes I click on your thumbnails to visit  but many of my readers don't have a link to their blog on their google profile. It might be  a good idea to check your settings to see if this is so in your case.

Anyway! I hope you all have a fabulous weekend! I'll be back next week!

Did Someone Say Purple?

Hi Everyone!

I hope you're week is going well. All well here.:)

Today's card I made for a friend (Stacey, you know who you are. lol) who happens to have redecorated recently and while endeavoring to "step away" from the familiar purple comfort zone, found herself painting yet another purple room (under a different name).

So, being the sweet friend I am (and a confirmed purple hater) I made her a purple card to show that I don't let things like color stand in the way of friendship. lol

In saying that, this purple isn't too bad .....I  find it didn't alter my mood too drastically while crafting. Stacey can tell you what purple normally does to me.....

Anyway!

Sentimental Sundays ~ Winter / Bite Me

Hi Everyone!

I hope your weekend is going well. :-)

Today's CAS card was made for the new challenge at Sentimental Sundays which is

Winter.

(and you thought we were done with winter. Ha!)

The stamp is by Whimsy, colored with Prismacolors and the sentiment from my own sick mind. :-)

Papers and ribbon from stash.

I just love the expression on this rabbits face. The "so sorry but I couldn't help myself" look.

Kinda like my daughters face when I asked her where my last square of Cadbury's Fruit and nut bar went on Wednesday......

So that's it from me! Cant wait to see all your work this week!

Keep it fun!

I would like to join in on the following challenges:

I Did It Creations:  Blue cold

Sunday sketch and stamp: sketch

Challenge Up your life: CAS

Mami Doodles: Mostly blue

Hugs,

Sentimental Sundays ~ Thanks

Hi Guys!

This week over at Sentimental Sundays we're looking for cards giving thanks.

So that's pretty doable isn't it? We all need lots of those kinds of cards on hand in case someone decides to bake us some cookies or something. Ok, that doesn't happen very much! lol!

Maybe if we send them a really nice card someone will be moved to bake us some cookies!

My Recipe:

Image: Whimsy

Dps: assorted

Sentiment: Raindrop echos (the ticket)

Colors: Prismacolor Pencils

Isn't he cute?

And a close up of the sentiment panel...

I hope you can join in this week. I'll be looking for you! :-)

Thanks for stopping by~
