Just a Note

Can you believe it is already March??!!! Time for another challenge on the Tiddly Inks Challenge Blog.  This month we have a color challenge.  Head over to the Tiddly Inks Challenge Blog for all of the details.

My card features the Tiddly Inks digital image of Wryn-Just a Note.  I printed this cutie pie onto X-Press It cardstock and colored with Copic markers.  I then fussy cut around the image.  The card panel utilizes a piece of gray cardstock stamped with a background stamp from A Jillian Vance Design using SSS fog dye ink.  I framed this panel with black cardstock and stamped the sentiment, which was in my stash (sorry, unknown source).  It seemed appropriate.  I then placed the entire panel and image onto a white card base.

Please join Tiddly Inks for our monthly challenge!  We'd love to see your creations!

Wryn Waits and Looks at the Stars

It is fun to be on a digital design team and NOT have a working computer.  But, I'm going through my stash of images I had printed prior to my computer dying. 

This card features the adorable digital stamp from Tiddly Inks called Wryn Waits.  A while ago (LOL), I printed the image onto X-Press It cardstock.  Recently (LOL), I colored the image with Copic markers and fussy cut.  The card panel was sponged with some blue inks and cut with a Gina Marie Designs die to create the starry sky.  The grass was made from cardstock sponged with green (Adirondack Lettuce dye, of course) and cut with a MFT die.  The sentiment is from two companies, Honeybee Stamps and A Jillian Vance Design.  The hearts were cut with a punch and colored with Copic markers.

Perfect card for the upcoming Valentine Day holiday.  Perfect Valentine's Day gift for me...a computer!

Woof!

I'm here!  It's been awhile, I know. 

My computer died and I had some other house issues going on.  And the holidays.  Stress.

But I think my little hiatus was good for me.  It made me miss my beloved hobby.  I've got some Copic refills on the way (had to beat the price hike) and soon my markers will be juicy.  That's been somewhat of a problem as of late. 

I'm starting out the new year right though.  Coloring and posting. 

Today is a Tiddly Tuesday!  Talk about starting out the year right!  Thank goodness the challenge is "Anything Goes" because I still don't have a computer and access to my digital images.  This image comes from the Everyday Fun with Friends coloring book from Tiddly Inks.  I had printed it prior to my computer dying onto X-Press It cardstock.  I colored the image with Copic markers and did a bit of shading with Prismacolor pencils.  The "woof" die cut is from Recollections. 

Sure hope you join us at Tiddly Inks this month for our Anything Goes challenge.  If I can do it, you can too. 

Here's wishing you a crafty 2019!  I'm wishing one for myself too!

Tree Hugger

I love the art of Mother Nature in the fall.  I couldn't resist turning the digital image of Tree Hugger from Tiddly Inks into an autumn tree.  I printed the image onto X-Press It cardstock and colored with Copic markers using this month's color palette on the Tiddly Inks Challenge Blog.  The sentiment is from A Jillian Vance Design and the patterned paper on this card is from Carte Bella.  A few sequins complete the details of this card.

Won't you join us for this month's challenge on the Tiddly Inks Challenge Blog?  Head on over and see some fabulous creations from the design team for inspiration.

Light Up My Life

It's time for another Tiddly Tuesday!  This time around we are being challenged to created a Clean and Simple card.  That seems to be all I do, lol.

For my card, I used the Tiddly Inks digital image of Light Up My Life.  I printed the image onto X-Press It cardstock.  I colored the image with Copic markers.  The glow from the fireflies was colored with Distress Oxide.  Using a circle die, I drew the circle that is acting as the sky.  I also drew the little dots around the circle.  The sentiment is from A Jillian Vance Design.

Sure hope you join us this month for the Clean and Simple challenge.  Go to the Tiddly Inks Challenge blog for all of the details.

I think the real challenge is how to keep our lives clean and simple, lol.  There's always something.

Thanks so much for visiting my blog today!

Light My Life

It's July's Fab Friday at Tiddly Inks!

For my contribution, I made this card using the Tiddly Inks digital image of Light My Life.  I printed it onto X-Press It cardstock and colored the image with Copic markers.  I then added the wave border along the bottom of the card cut with a Memory Box die.  The sentiment was stamped with Versafine Onyx Black and is from A Jillian Vance Design.

Make sure you check out the Tiddly Inks Challenge Blog to see some beautiful Tiddly cards and projects.

Have a great weekend!

Graduation Corgi

Not many people need a graduation card with a corgi on it.  But when your best customer needs such a card, you make it.

The corgi is a digital image from Some Odd Girl.  The graduation hat is from Avery Elle.  The sentiment is from Simon Says Stamps.  X-Press It cardstock was used, along with Copic markers.

Later in the week, I'll be back for Fab Friday with Tiddly Inks.  Thanks for visiting my blog today.

WELCOME to Unicorn Street!

It's time for another Tiddly Tuesday on the Tiddly Inks Challenge Blog.  The theme this month is Anything Goes, so you really have no excuse to not particpate.

This card features a digital image from the Tiddly Inks set Lovely YOUNicone and Unicorn.  I printed the unicorn onto X-Press It cardstock.  I colored the unicorn with Copic markers.  The letters are from a Penny Black alphabet stamp set and was stamped in Versafine Onyx Black.  The "welcome" sentiment is from A Jillian Vance Design and was also stamped with Versafine Onyx Black.  I added a strip of washi tape near the bottom and a few white sequins to complete the card.

At first glance, this card might not make any sense.  The reason behind the card doesn't make any sense either, but it is a real situation that angers me.  A co-worker of mine, in order for her family to remain together, had to seek residence in Canada.  The new administration terminated the immigration program that allowed her husband to live and work in the US, and he was ordered removed.  He had been working in this country for several years.  The reason there is a unicorn on the card is because she is moving to a street called Unicorn Street. 

Canada, you're awesome.  The US right now, not so much.

Baby Girl

Whenever I have a baby card to make, I always "reach" (or should I say find the file on my computer?) for Tiddly Inks for cute baby images.

This card features the Tiddly Inks digital image of Baby Girl.  She's just precious, don't you think?  I printed her onto X-Press It cardstock and colored her with Copic markers.  I fussy cut her and placed her onto a patterned paper cardfront (no clue the source).  The cover-up die is from My Favorite Things.  The sentiment is from A Jillian Vance Design.   I added three pink enamel dots to the design because they were amazingly the perfect match.

Did you check out all of the loveliness for Fab Friday?  Check out the Tiddly Inks Challenge blog for some beautiful Tiddly inspiration!

Fishing Expert

It's time for another Tiddy Tuesday.  We have a color challenge for the month.  Go to the Tiddly Inks Challenge Blog for all of the details and join in on the fun.

My card features the adorable digital image Wryn Fishing Expert.  I printed it onto X-Press It cardstock and colored with Copic markers and Prismacolor pencils.  I added some Nuvo Crystal Drops and Nuvo Glitter Drops to the fish (I couldn't decide which to use so I used both, lol). The sentiment is from a set from Taylored Expressions and was stamped with Versafine Onyx Black.  Can't have enough birthday cards, right?

Don't forget to head on over to the Tiddly Inks Challenge Blog.  You'll see there are a couple of very talented guest designers playing in all the fun.

Wheeeeeee!

They say it's a Fab Friday.  It sure better be a Friday, lol.  What a week.

For my Tiddly Inks creation, I went straight to the Tiddly Inks digital coloring book Everyday Fun with Friends.  This image is one of the pages.  I simply printed it onto X-Press It cardstock and colored with Copic markers.

Head on over to the Tiddly Inks Challenge blog.  There happens to be some beautiful Tiddly creations over there this Fab Friday.  You don't want to miss them!

Happy Birthday, Succa!

I squealed when Crissy Croll drew a cactus for Tiddly Inks because you know how much I love them.  In fact, she drew a bunch of cacti in this digital image set Cute Cactus.

It's a Tiddly Tuesday on this first day of May.  The challenge for this month is to create a Tiddly Inks project with Florals or Plants.  You can read all about the challenge and see some BEAUTIFUL creations on the Tiddly Inks Challenge Blog.

For my card, I used one cactus from Cute Cactus.  I printed it onto X-Press It cardstock and colored with Copic markers and Prismacolor pencils. 

The sentiment cracks me up.  It is from A Jillian Vance Design and was stamped with Versafine Onyx Black.

A strip of pattern paper from an unknown source is along the side of the card panel.

Don't be a succa!  Join us at Tiddly Inks this month for all of the fun!

Tiddly Inks Spring Is Here Blog Hop

What a lovely day for a blog hop!  Tiddly Inks is celebrating the arrival of spring.   About one day a week it actually feels like spring around here, lol. Maybe all of these beautiful flowers will make things better.

This card features the Tiddly Inks digital image of Wryn Blooms.  It is an older Tiddly Inks image but I've had my eye on it for quite some time just waiting on the right time to use it.  I think a spring blog hop is the perfect occasion.

To make this card, I printed the adorable Wryn Blooms onto X-Press It cardstock.  I colored the image with Copic markers.  I added a bit of sparkle to the flower centers with a Nuvo Aqua Shimmer pen.  The sentiment was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black and is from Hampton Arts.  I added a small sequin below the sentiment for a little interest and balance.  The card base that shows along the side is dry embossed light blue cardstock.

I'm set for Mother's Day with this card.

And don't forget, you are set for all occasions with Tiddly Inks.

You will want to see all of the GORGEOUS spring creations on this blog hop.  You can find your way by following this link.

SLOOPY!

TAKE A LOOK AT THIS!  SLOOPY....MY SLOOPY....INSPIRED THIS DIGITAL STAMP FROM TIDDLY INKS!

Be still my heart!  The fabulous Christy Croll made my dreams come true with this new Tiddly Inks image Puppilicous Dachshund.  A few months ago she asked the Tiddly Inks Design Team for image ideas. I begged her for a dachshund, and this was the result.  She said it was modeled after Sloopy.  I'm in love.

Thanks you so much Christy!

To make this card, I printed the image onto X-Press It cardstock and colored with Copic markers.  The sentiment is from a stamp set made especially for Creative Chaos in Circleville called Buzzwords from Scraps Of Love.   I framed the image with scarlet cardstock and added a scarlet heart.

Tiddly Inks has so much wonderful, heartfelt images.  Go see....today's Fab Friday on the Tiddly Inks Challenge Blog.

Take A Chance

I'm here today with the fourth and final image from the March release at Sassy Cheryl's.  This release sure has been a lot of fun.  I just love all of the images.

This card features the digital image of "Take A Chance".  I printed it onto Hammerill Color Copy and colored the image with Copic markers.  A wee bit of shading was done with Prismacolor pencils.  I fussy cut the image and placed on a white cardstock panel.  The strip of patterned paper you see along the side is from Recollections.  The sentiment was stamped with Versafine Onxy Black ink and is from an old MFT stamp set.

Thanks so much for visiting my blog.  I sure hope you've enjoyed the images as much as I have.  Now, head on over to Sassy Cheryl's and snag this image for $1 off, today from 9:00 AM Eastern Time for the next 24 hours.  Here's the special code CHANCE

The new release reveal continues at Sassy Cheryl's. 

Today, I'm sharing a card that features the new digital image "I'm Here For You".  I just love it.  I printed it onto Hammermill Color Copy and colored with Copic markers and did some shading with Prismacolor pencils.  Fearlessly, I fussy cut the image, lol.

On some white cardstock, I sponged Distress Inks (Tumbled Glass and Salty Ocean).  I added a little SeaShells SeaShell pink dye ink as well.  A couple of spritzes of water.  I made the grass with a MFT die, and sponged with Distress Ink Peeled Paint.  I placed the white frame, cut from a MFT die, over the scene and placed the heartfelt Sassy Cheryl's image into the scene.  The sentiment was stamped with Versafine Onyx Black ink and is from MFT.

New Friendships

It's March 1st.  How is that possible?

With a new month comes a new release from Sassy Cheryl's.  Today I bring to you the new digital image called "New Friendships".  I printed it onto Hammermill Color Copy paper and colored it with Copic markers.  I did some shading and some detailing with Prismacolor pencils.  If you are wondering about how I did the raindrop effect...I simply took my Copic blender pen and randomly put big blobs all over my picture.  I'm kinda liking the effect.

Even though it may still be quite cold outside, it is time for us to start thinking about spring and Easter.  Sassy Cheryl's has some adorable Easter images being released this week and this is one of them.  It is called Bosom Buddies.

I printed Bosom Buddies onto X-Press It cardstock and colored with Copic markers, along with some Prismacolor pencils shading.  I placed the image panel onto a scrap of patterned paper I've been hoarding for years (I have no clue who made it).  The sentiment is from A Jillian Vance Design and was stamped using Versafine Onyx Black.
