Stirring up fun & a digi freebie for you!

Hello Lovely people! I'm finally back with a little something to share with you. Today I've made a tag for my Simply Sassy Dt post. Here is....

 

 ...'Witches Cauldron' available at Funky Kits here. I'm going to be using this tag for a gift for my friends daughter who is really into this show called Monster High so I tried to color the little witch similar to her favorite character. I personally think I would now really love to have pink and black hair,lol.

My tag is pretty basic as I am just not that great at making extravagant tags like some of you(this is actually a lot for me,lol) but I'd really like to get better at this so I will keep trying. Anyway, my papers are DCWV and I made the sentiment myself...been on a little kick of that lately, and if you'd like to have it.....

 ....here you go, just please don't pass it off as your own and please send people back to my blog if they would like one. This one is in png form, but if you cant use that just e-mail me and I'll be happy to send you out a jpeg. Also, I haven't done this b4, but i think if u click the pick it should make it the original size, better for saving.

Lastly, here are my copics. a relatively short list for you today. Well, I guess that does it. It's gonna be pretty quite around here this week, as DD is sick and the kids have a lot going on at school. I may pop in with some more sentiments, but so far today DD is being pretty needy.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

Southern Girls Challenge #17

Hello lovely people!! It's time again for another challenge over at Southern Girls and this week we want to see you use Blue and Green. Here's what I've come up with....

This little beauty is Simply Sassy's 'Winking Student' found here and this card was also used for my SS DT inspiration post today. These awesome papers are from Basic Grey's Oliver collection and I just had to throw in that little bit of burgandy cause I thought it just made everything pop!

As you can see all of the papers are distressed...even the rolly roses, lol, but that's about it for techniques! Although it still took me forever this card came along quite nicely and I finally go to do this little thing where the image is partly outside the diecut. I have a cricut, so it's hard to reason myself into buying a bunch of spellbinders templates, but on a recent trip to JoAnn's I found 2-four die collection sets for $39 and I couldn't hardly pass that up now could I. :)

Ok, back to the card...

Here's a closer view of the little darling. Sorry it's not such a great pic, apparently I just couldn't get the camera straight yesterday. I also regreat to inform you I forgot to take a pic of my copics, sorry about that. I can tell you tought that if you like the darkend portions on her face and body my darkest color was YR02 I really find I like the look of it much better than E11 that everyone else seems to use.

I even did up the inside this time around! This is a pocket with a tag and  there's going to be a sentiment by the flourish, I just haven't decided what yet.

I guess that does it! Thanks for stopping by today! Make sure you ceck out what the rest of the SG Dt has come up with for your and our fabby sponsors Digital Delights for NZ/AU and Meljens for Int.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

This is a sticky, please scroll down for newer posts, thank you!

Hey all! It's time for me to share some candy! I've been really blessed this last year been on some great DT's, made some awesome new friends, and learned lots of new things and it's time to give away some candy.

I made my first post February 2010 and it was just me talking, so I could get something up here, lol. My plan when I started this blog was to get back into scrapbooking and get my kids' albums finished. WELL, my first couple of challenges were for scrapbooking, but then I noticed card making seemed to encompass more of blogland, so I gave it a go. As they say the rest is history. The stamps and copics started coming in and this whole year has been a learning roller coaster! I've always loved coloring and am so glad I found this craft...now to find the time to get those scrapbooks done,lol

Well, I guess that's enough out of me, if you'd like to be in the running to win my candy here are the rules:

1. Be a current follower or become a follower of my blog

2. Post my candy pic in your side bar with a link back to my blog

Simply Sassy New Release Blog Hop

Hello all and welcome to our Simply Sassy for Sugar Nellie New Release Blog Hop! If you've arrived here from Anita's blog then you're on the right track if you've just happened upon my blog and want to start at the begining please go here to the Simply Sassy DT blog for the complete blog list.

If you follow the Simply Sassy DT blog you know we've been giving you some sneaks this week and this new set of stamps is nothing short of spectacular!! Today I am showcasing...

 .....'Butterflies & Pigtails' and I Looovvveee her!! I think this is how I see my daughter in a few years. Anyway, my card ended up being much more simple than I'd envisioned as I was going to make a wonderful pop-up but alas, hubby's post op(eye surgery) has not been as easy going as expected so I've not had the time I thought I would to make it. I hope you like this all the same.

The background I've used here is a mixture of two of Make it Crafty's Digital Images that I blended together and moved around to get the look I was after. This was a little time consuming, but I'm quite happy with the end result. It is colored with copics for the rainbow and flowers and chalks for the rest. 

 As for our pretty little girl she doesn't naturally have freckles, but I thought she needed some so she got a few(again probably honing in on how I think my DD will look,lol) and for whatever reason she needed to be REALLY blond, lol (she's very smart though). I love pink and white together so I left her dress at that

Some close-ups: A better view of the background, now you can see ALL the stickles ...there's tons and I used 3 different kinds: stardust, crystal, & diamond, each stratgically placed, the flowers,  and  I've also placed the top layer on 1/8" pop-up dots.

That will do it for me. Hope I didn't blabber too long. Next on your hop will be Tracy. Don't forget you can get all these beauties today at Funky Kits and there's also a special going if you buy the whole set. Jump on over here if you wanna check that out!

Thanks for hopping along with us today and have a great day!

Simply Sassy Sneak Peek...

Today I've got a little ......

'Carnival Balloon' to share with you. Isn't she the cutest??  I know, I know, I say that about all of them, lol! I hope you guy have been saving your pennies cause you are gonna love this realease! There are gonna be peaks on the DT Blog all week so be sure to check them out!

On to the card then...

When I started this I knew I wanted to use yellow...I think all those Easter cards out there are getting to me,lol. Then I was further inspired by these fab papers from the MME Fine and Dandy: True Blue paper pad.  I also decided to try out some clouds for the first time, so they are a bit of a work in progress. I don't have lots of cloudy colors, so these are a mix of copics and chalks. I don't think they turned out too bad for my first go around, but I'm gonna keep working on it as I def like the look! The grass is also a mix of copics and chalks. Beyond that I decided to leave her clean and simple.

Here are my copics...think you should be able to figure those out, but if you have any questions please feel free to ask!

 

Lastly, some Sassy News!! So get your hopping shoes on this Sunday that 4am CST here in the US.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Have a great day!
