There's an Angel Among Us...

... Ivy Angel that is! :) This is one of Jen's super adorable digis from her, Tis the Season line. There is a whole slew of cuteness in this set. I would encourage you to go check them out! :)

When I set out to make this easel card I wanted Ivy to appear to be floating and angelic looking. I did this by popping her up with strips of cs and making her gown light and airy looking. If you click on the picture you will see that I used two different color families. I used C1 for the over-all gown and outlined it in Vooo. I used Shimmerz butter cream on her wings. The flame on her candle my Spica pens were used; trying to give it a "glow-y" look. For her halo all I had was regular gold art glitter that I glued on speck by speck. Lastly for the snowflakes I printed out some snowflake outlines chalked them and then colored them with my Sakura Souffle pens and punched them with my 1" punch. Last night I was wishing that I had those snowflake die cuts, but I didn't so I had to improvise.

Here is a side view for you to see.

And lastly here is the "flat" view.

My Guy Autumn

Hello everyone!

Can you believe next week is Thanksgiving?? I know I cant! I have not even prepared in the least bit let alone Christmas. Can I tell ya a secret??? I'm SO ready to put up my Christmas tree! Ha! Yes!! I have not took the plunge yet, but I see it happening really soon! When do you put your tree up? You may be thinking, "girl Thanksgiving hasn't even arrived", but let me tell you that I know of a few people who put their tree up on Halloween! WASSUP with that?!?!?! Did I just really say, "Wassup"?

Let me tell ya, I fought myself and fought myself to use this sentiment on my card today. I'm so not the "wassup", "yo", or "wudup" type of girl, but for whatever reason I felt this sentiment was fitting for My Guy Autumn. What do you think?



Isn't he a doll? I really liked the way he came out.

Well, I will not keep you here any longer. I really do appreciate each of your visits here and being so patient with me on my journey! Much love to you all!

Welcome Autumn Anya

Here is a sweet little digi that I purchased from the Greeting Farm.

Last night I decided to work with a sketch instead of "winging" it. Ha! I'm a slow learner. Better late than never is what they say.

Here she is sporting her cute Winter wardrobe! After making this card I "picked" it to death! You know all the, "I should of done this and I should of done that". Welp, there will be a next time! You will see her again real soon I'm sure. :)

Hope you all stay nice and warm in your neck of the woods! Happy crafting!!!

Inkin Isabella

Good afternoon ladies! Hope each of you are having a fabulous week!

Here is a super sweet digi image that I received from Die Cuts R Us. Her name is Inkin Isabella. She was a ton of fun to color. I love this girls shoes, which I used my Spica's on; so they are "blingy"! :)

Christmas is just around the corner and what better gift to give the crafter in your life then a cute little gift bag or box with this fun image popped up on it? You can fill the box/bag with some cute little embellies or a gift certificate that you can also find at the DCRU store!

Why not head on over to Claudia's, the amazing owner, shop and take a peek at all the great deals going on! You really dont need to wait for a sale to visit her shop, because her prices beat any other store that I've personally found online.
