Charming Edwin Card Kit...

Charming Edwin Card Kit

How about a cute water coloring card kit...

I found him in the color box and thought hey I haven't done a water color kit for the new year.
Besides the monthly ones that is.
He's totally adorable.
Boy images are always hard for me to do.
But since he was holding flowers I decided the card could have flowers on it too.

The pretty paper is My Mind's Eye - Miss Caroline.
I added some Smooch Glitz - Goldrush to the heart and flowers.

Thanks for looking.
I hope your having a wonderful day!

Tilda with Ballot Shoes Card Kit...

Tilda with Ballot Shoes Card Kit

It's time for this month's Switchin' It Up Card Kit.
That's where we use Copic Markers and ShinHan Markers in one card kit.
That way you can add a few ShinHan Markers to your collection with out breaking the bank.


My husband asked me the other day why I didn't have any colored girl card kits?
I told him I never thought I got the skin tone right.
To me it just never look right.
But he had a valid point so I decided I would make one up.
She didn't turn out that bad.

 Tilda with Ballot Shoes Card Kit

But you can also choose to do her with white skin.

 Tilda with Ballot Shoes Card Kit

I've been seeing a few cards with crystals on them and wanted to try out the look.
So with this kit you'll get a package of Crystal Swirls to add to your card.
The beautiful paper is from the Prima - Firefly Collection.
I thought the pretty fun colors would go great with her purple ballot dress and bright pink bow.

Tilda with Ballot Shoes Card Kit

These are 4 new ShinHan Markers for this month's kit.
For her dress I used.
P83, P145, PB75 & PB77
It turned out super cute!

April Monthly Card Kits...

Are you ready for the new Monthly Card Kits?
This month I picked a couple of Whimsy Stamps images by Elisabeth Bell.
I loved that they are both facing backwards.
Kind of different.
The paper is from the American Crafts - Dear Lizzy Collection.

Lets start with the Water Coloring Monthly Card Kit.

Sunset Rose Card Kit

Isn't she adorable just sitting there looking at the sunset.
I really liked doing the background with the Ranger Distress Inks.
It was something new for me.

Sunset Rose Card Kit


Li'l Bells Card Kit

Also Totally adorable!
I love her hair.
I've used some new May Arts Silk Ribbon.
Very soft and pretty.
The buttons I used came in a variety pack so they will all be different.

Li'l Bells Card Kit

Both of these kits also include a package of Prima Say it in Crystals.
So you get to pick which ones you'd like to use on your cards.
They are really pretty.

I'll be working on the video for both of these in the next couple of days 
and sending out the links to purchasers. 
So keep a look out for those in your inbox.

Head over to the store and pick yours up and color along with me.

April Monthly Card Kits

Thanks for stopping in.
Have a wonderful day!


P.S. If I was a little more organized and didn't make these up Thursday & Friday I would share sneak peeks..

Color Combo's - ShinHan Markers...

ShinHan Markers Color Swatch

A nice pastel yellow green color combo for today.
ShinHan Markers

GY175, GY174 & GY173

I really like this one..
How about you?

The image is by Sassy Cheryl.
It's called Button Flowers

So you may have noticed I changed the look of my swatch.
I've decide to put all my swatches in a Sn@p Album.
That way I can move them around and keep it better organized.
I'm starting with the ShinHan swatch since I don't have a bunch.
But I will be converting all the Copic swatches too.


They swatches fit perfectly in the 3x4 pockets.
I had to trim off about a 1/4" on the ends.


The album comes with 3 chipboard dividers.
But they just started selling more you can buy.
Yes I ordered some for the store.

I have made up a couple of blank sheets.
You can download them on the side bar.
The sheets have the boxes and lines.
You have to add your own digital images.
One sheet has 8 swatches like the ones above
and the other one has 4 so you can stamp your own image.

** I fixed the download link.. Sorry!

I'll show an example after I've made one up to add to my book.
These will fit in the 4x6 pockets.

Have a great day!

Happy Valentine's...


Happy Valentine's Day everyone!
I hope you have something fun planned.
I wanted to share this beautiful card I received in the mail yesterday from my friend Brenda.
Isn't it pretty!
I haven't asked her yet but it looks like she used the 
My Favorite Things - Open Hexagon Border 
to emboss the pink paper.
Pretty Cool!
I could be wrong... I'll ask her when I see her tomorrow.

**So I asked Brenda and she said it was a Stampin Up embossing folder.. :O)
See I can be wrong and admit it...
But she used the Open Hexagon Border to add the pattern paper on the top of the embossing.

Thank you Brenda for the beautiful card. 
I LOVE IT....

Have a great day...

This poor Magnolia stamp has been sitting on my desk for a while
all colored and waiting for paper.

Little Elf Finn Card Kit & Video...

Little Elf Finn Card Kit

My first Christmas card kit for 2013.
I know I'm running behind already.
This cutie is by Penny Black.
It's such a large image that you really don't have room for much else.
He is colored with Copic Markers.

Little Elf Finn Card Kit

I seen this cute image colored over on Sugar Pea Designs Blog and she listed the colors for us.
So thought I would give it a go.
I love how she colored the ornament.
I think I did pretty good for my first time.


I recommend stamping your image on a practice sheet and coloring the ornament first.
Just in case.
I used up all the paper making up these kits.
So if you want one go grab one I can't make more.

Thanks for stopping in.
Have a wonderful day!

Turtle's Friend Video...



I finally got the Turtle's Friend video done.
I don't usually do animals, but he turned out really cute.
I'm sure I'll be buying more animal stamps from now on.
They always seem so daunting, but I guess like anything else you have to practice..

Enjoy the video.
Have a great day!
