High Hopes Winter love

Hi there, thanks for peeking in today.  I created a mini album just for fun using ...

Made with Chilly Penguin found here!

My sweet penguin was coloured with copic markers.  I made a little album by folding and scoring  card stock. Printed some tiny photos and added them to the album.  Made a sleeve using cardstock and soft white twine.

Hang In There

 The design team is doing Anything Goes this week on the blog so I thought I would have some fun and monkey around a little!

We all need some encouragement or to know someone is thinking of us once and a while so I decided that Monkey Mike would be perfect to help not only bring some encouragement but also a smile to someone. I think he is pretty cute and he makes me giggle! 

 I tackled the jungle background first, colouring it with alcohol markers and then set it aside. Next I coloured up Monkey Mike and hand fussy cut him. I found some matching plaid patterned paper and cut it and matching cardstock to fit my A2 size. Next, I created a cardstock frame by using two different sizes of rectangle dies and added it on top of the background with pop dots. 
Then, I took our handsome Monkey Mike and hung him from the frame by his tail. He has a pop dot behind him too because he kinda tilted sideways when I hooked him up by tail. 
The sentiment was stamped and cut out with a fish tail banner die and a few enamel dots finish off my card.

Sending Smiles!

Hello OCS Fans!

Fall is in the air and with that comes all the adorable Fall stamps, papers and warm colours! Today for my post I am using "Harvest Harry".  

My Design is very simple today with only one layer of designer paper and a bit of Burlap ribbon. I coloured my image with my Copic Sketch markers and then fussy cut it out with my Brother Cut N Scan. I popped the image up with some foam squares and added a few enamel dots for a bit of interest. The sentiment is also from High Hopes and is called "Sending Smiles".

Precious Little One.....

Welcome Everyone;

September is here and One Crazy Stamper has a new theme called Anything Goes.  It is always good to have some baby cards on hand for that special occasion.

For today's card, I have used the addorable Swaddled Baby Girl from High Hopes Stamps.  I coloured her with Copic Markers and paper pieced the blanket.  I used a Lacey Circle Die to cut the image out as well as a piece of matching cardstock that I threaded some ribbon through.  Some bluish gray jewels finished off the card.

Let's Ketch-Up

 How fun would this lunch invite be to receive in the mail!?! 
Especially when it is sent to someone you haven't seen for awhile! I have a few people in mind that I could send this to just for fun!

Truthfully I am not partial to ants but they always seem to show up at a picnic and help themselves don't they? These two are pretty cute though so I think I am okay with them joining my picnic ... this time....

 I coloured this fun pair with alcohol markers and fussy cut them. I added a "ketchup" line to the bottle by drawing a light pencil line where I wanted the ketchup level to be, coloured it and then used a black Memento pen to add the line. 
I decided on my patterned paper and instead of doing a sky and clouds I thought hearts would be a fun background especially since this invite would be going to a close friend I haven't seen in awhile. I cut some grass to "ground" them and added them to the back of the stamp. After deciding on a font, I created my sentiment and printed it directly on my background square. 

Some twine and gumdrops finish off my card

Harvest Mice!

Hi OCS Fans!

Wow I can't believe Fall is right around the corner and the kids have gone back to school this week! Where did the summer go? It's my turn today to share a card with you over on the High Hopes and One Crazy Stamper Blogs. The Design Team is doing a "Anything Goes" theme and I decided to use the High Hopes "Harvest Mice" stamp!

"Harvest Mice" is one of my favourite Fall stamps! I just love these cuties and the pumpkin they are leaning on! I chose papers form the Echo Park "Fall Is In the Air" 6x6 collection. I love the warm colours of this line! I added some ribbon, bow and a die cut banner as the accents on my card this time.

I also decorated the inside of my card and used the High Hopes sentiment called "If Friends Were Pumpkins".

Copics Used:

Mice: C1, C2, C3, C5/ E51, E53, E55

Pumpkin: YR12, YR14, YR16, YR18/ YG95, YG97

Outfits: y35, Y38/ R39, R56, R89/ BG72, BG75, BG78

Ground: YG93, YG95, YG97
