Stamping Bella Sketch

It's not often I get to join in a Stamping Bella sketch. But this week I am going to. 
Here is the sketch:
And here is my creation using Uptown Girl: Quinn and her Boots. 
I had to move the horizontal piece to the other side otherwise it would have covered up Quinn's adorable boots. 
I colored this stamped image using Copic markers in the following colors:
Skin-E000,00,11
Hair-E53,57
Boots/Coat-E31,33,21
Scarf/Skirt/Tights:BG72,75,78

The sentiment reads: Warm wishes. It accompanies the stamp set which just arrived in the mail today! Yay! 
I used Stickles for the snow and hat. The paper comes from a 6x6 paper pad called  Welcome Christmas from Pebbles which I'm positive that I bought it from AC Moore. 
Well, we are expecting more snow here in my area. I have to admit that it is very pretty when it is falling. I wish I had a pair of boots like Quinn!

Thanks for stopping by...



Penny Black Saturday Challenge

Penny Black's Saturday December challenge this month  is CHRISTMAS!
I recently purchased two Penny Black rubber stamps from Michael's Arts and Craft Store last week. I was so excited when I found them in the seasonal stamping section. I may have squealed in delight. Just sayin'! 
You don't see Penny Black  too often around here.
I used Chill Day (or at least that is what I think it is called...) for my creation:
I kept the card clean and simple. This image was simple and fun to color!
I used my Copic markers in the following colors:
R05,C3,R35
E21,53,47
The sentiment reads: Joy to the World! It comes from the Kraftin' Kimmie Holiday Lulu and Libby rubber stamp set.
Then, I added a few stickles to the fur part of Santa's suit and used several  sequins. I am really liking the sequin look. The sequins tend to work a little better when mailing cards inside the envelopes as well.
The paper comes from a 6x6 pad from Pebbles.
Out of all the holiday cards, this one has got to be my favorite!
The other stamp is called: Snow Kiss
I didn't get to make it into a card just yet!
Thank you for stopping by.
Have a great weekend, my friends!

Tiddly Inks #123 Christmas Holiday!

Happy Wednesday!
Just popping in really quick to share my Tiddly Inks creation for the current theme challenge: Christmas Holiday or Winter Scene. 
Here is my holiday card using Minnie with Christmas Lights. 
Really...I have been in Minnie's situation! Possibly more times than I should admit to! 
I used Copic markers to color in this digi image:
Skin-E000,00,11
Hair-E53,47
Dress-R35,C5,R05
Lights:G14, Y18, B02, R05

The paper comes from a 6x6 paper pad from Pebbles called Welcome Christmas. The sentiment reads: I hope your holiday sparkles. It comes from a Kraftin' Kimmie rubber stamp set called Lulu and Libby Holiday designed by Cheryl Alger. 

Well, I said I'd be quick. 
Thanks for stopping by...leave me a comment! I love to read them all!

Sassy Cheryl's~Anything Goes

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving holiday!? 
I know that I enjoyed a nice little break and now it's time to gear up for a busy December. 
This week's newest challenge at Sassy Cheryl's is Anything Goes
For this challenge, I used one of Cheryl's Kraftin' Kimmie images from a rubber stamp set called Carnival Fun. 
I didn't lean towards Christmas or holiday because this girl can only make so many and I think I have reached my Holiday/Christmas cardmaking limit! 
Here is my creation:
I kept the layout clean and simple. Added a few enamel dots and used a corresponding sentiment that reads:"It's so fluffy!"

Of course, I used my beloved Copic markers in the following colors:
Skin: E000,00,11
Hair:E53,46
Yellow:Y13,18,E11
C1,3,5
Bear: E43,53

Back to work today so I am sure it will be difficult transitioning into my 12 hour work days.

Happy Tuesday, my friends!

Sassy Cheryl's Winter/Cold Weather

The week before Thanksgiving break is always crazy busy!
 First, it is American Education Week, so there are many parent/meet-the-teacher activities planned all week long!
Second, it means that tonight and Thursday, I will be volunteering in the evenings as a judge for the Interscholastic Reading Competition. There are 3 rounds and it goes late into the night.
It's all good though...it makes me appreciate my Thanksgiving break all that much more.
Anyways, today's the start of a TWO week challenge over at Sassy Cheryl's.
For this theme, I colored in the adorable Noah the Helpful Elf.
Here is my creation:

Don't forget to check out the other DT creations! As always they are out of this world!

Mo Manning~Challenge #210 Christmas or Winter Holiday

Mo Manning's newest challenge is Christmas or Winter Holiday.
I made two cards for this challenge.
I am trying to re-build my card stash back up.
Here are my two creations using Mo Manning images, of course.
First, is one of the three images from Valerie in Winter.

Second, is Bella and Bronte Skating:
I know it sounds unbelievable, but I haven't been to the craft store in a while now...just trying to use up all the goodies I have. My crafty corner is stuffed to the max so, I am trying to create in order to get rid of it all.
Then, I can purchase new. :) He-he!
Thanks for stopping by!
