Wild Card Wednesday PREVIEW!!

Hi again! 

It's the end of the month & you know what that means on Club Anya & Friends- it's PREVIEW time!!  And guess who's being released this time in some fresh RUBBAH...


It's Camille!!  You may remember that she was previously available as a digi- but on 3.1.10 she will be available in rubber form!

Since it's also Wild Card Wednesday on CAF hosted by the fab Jess- I made my card for her challenge too!  The WCW theme of this week is EMBOSSING- of any kind- wet/dry, whatever floats your boat!  I decided to put my Cuttlebug to good use and used the textile texture embossing folder on the pink matted cardstock, the patterned paper, and the cardstock I used to make my paper flower!

Supplies:
- Camille
- Labels 3 & Circle nestabilities
- Textile texture embossing folder
- Double loop border punch (Martha Stewart)
- Ink: Memento Tuxedo black, white gel pen
- Copics: B91, B93, B95, E000, E21, E25, E27, E74, E77, E79, R01, R81, R83, R85, R89, clear spica (on her eyeshadow)
- Other: buttons, ribbon, string

Be sure to check out the CAF blog for the fabulous works of the design team and come back soon for another preview of what's coming on 3.1.10!!

Happy Hump Day!

I cannot believe how quickly time is flying by and that February is coming to an end (even for a short month!) Which also means that my term over on the InStyle Stamps team is coming to an end.. it's been a great experience for my "first design team"

Anyway, I am hosting the Wednesday Challenge this week over on ISS- and this week's theme is FLOWERS... Hopefully the weather is starting to warm up and it's starting to look like Spring where you are!

I used this super cute digi-image, Mayah for my card and embellished with some prima flowers..

- Labels 4 nestabilities
- Grass border punch (Martha Stewart)

Mo's Digital DT call

I have been a longtime lurker of Mo's Digital Pencil... they even have a few digi images available for FREE! (join their groups on SNR Card Universe & Paper Craft Planet)

They're looking for a March guest designer- and I thought I'd give it a try!  I followed their sketch:

and used this adorable image of a little girl in a Kimono dress,

It's a little hard to see in the pic above (was playing peek-a-boo with the sun & clouds over the rainy weekend) but the girl & kitten are popped up from the circle with pop-dots,  maybe easier to see here, with the shadows...

Supplies:
- Kimono (Mo's Digital Pencil)
- Circle nestabilities
- Scallop border punch (Stampin' Up!)
- Ink: printer, white gel pen,
- Copics: B32, B34,BV00, BV02 C00, C3, E000, E21, R81, R83, YG03, YG06, 100

Happy Chinese New Year & Valentine's Day!

Hi All! 

Hope you are having a fabulous weekend!  It's been a fun-family filled weekend for me, as today is CHINESE NEW YEAR as well as Valentine's day (& my nephew's bday- but that's a whole different post!).

A few weeks ago I got these two digi images that my super talented cousin drew for me- I couldn't wait to color and create cards with them- they are SO cute!

As I said before, today is Chinese New Year, and it's the year of the Tiger. I just about flipped when I saw the digi he drew...



Supplies:
- Chinese girl & tiger (CQ), Gong Hay Fat Choy (Design in Squares)
- Labels 1 nestabilities, Scallop border punch (Stampin' Up!), Scallop circle punch (for flower)
- Ink: printer
- Copics: 100, C3, E000, E21, E25, E27, N3, N7, R01, R20, R46, R89, Y11, Y13, Y15, clear spica
- Other: buttons, gems, string, ribbon
Isn't she just the sweetest?! The Chinese sentiment translates to "Wishing you good fortune & prosperity" and pronounced "Gung Hay Fat Choy"!

He didn't stop there- he also drew this sweet Valentine Cupid too!



Supplies:
- Valentine Cupid (CQ), Valentine Sayings (Hero Arts)
- Labels 4 nestabilities
- Patterned Paper (American Crafts)
- Ink: Printer, Memento Tuxedo Black
- Copics: B0000, B01, B05, B06, BG0000, BG10, E0000, E21, E25, E29, E33, E35, E37, R0000, R81, R83, R85, N3, N7, Y15, clear spica
- Other: buttons, ribbon, string, Stickles

Please leave my cousin some love in the comments- I'll be sure to tell him to read them all! :)

Hope you all have a WONDERFUL Sunday, and I'll see you back here tonight for the Club Anya & Friends Blog Hop (8pm CST) and you still have some time to enter the giveaway here for a free digi from Jane's Doodles!

Thanks so much for visiting!
