Taking a stroll . . .

This is my second September guest designer card that I created for My Besties Spanish. The image is quite detailed and has lots to color, so I kept the design simple, adding stardust stickles here and there, framing around it, and then putting glittered foam stickers at each corner. You are welcome to join in this challenge with your own creation.

Autumn wonders . . .

Only two weeks until autumn begins, so chose this Ching-Chou Kuik image to color up. I added stardust stickles to the berries and the gold enamel dots also contribute to the sparkle on this card. You can see the lace and ribbon peeking out from behind my framed image, and I added the foliage and flowers to complete my card creation. Thanks for coming in to view my card, and hope everyone enjoys the change of season coming soon.

Hello there . . .

I was tickled to be given the opportunity to be a guest designer for My Besties Spanish this month, and this cutie pie is what I came up with. I colored with prisma pencils, adding glitter to her flowers, then die-cuting the frame surrounding her, adding gems, corner die cuts, drywall tape and ribbon behind her, flowers, butterfly and a bow tops it off. Whew, I did get carried away with embellishments, right -- haha. Hope you enjoy the citrusy colors I chose to work with. Thanks for coming in to view my card, and happy creating of your own.

Mice couple . . .

I knew I needed an anniversary card for this month, and when I opened a drawer, my eye caught on this cute Penny Black couple, so here you have it. I colored with prisma pencils and gamsol, adding stardust stickles to the flower for some pizzazz. The sentiment is computer generated, then framed with a die cut, and the hearts were done with a hand punch. I left the card flat and simple, since it had to be sent by mail. Hoping everyone has a wonder month of September. I've entered these challenges: Penny Black Saturday - AG with PB; The Paper Shelter - add a sentiment

Puppy hugs . . .

This Ching-Chou Kuik image is adorable, and I've colored with prisma pencils and gamsol. The framing is die cuts, along with the sentiment. The background paper has a bit of sparkle to it, and then I've topped it with a bow. Since this card is being sent to a friend that got a recent new fur baby, I thought it appropriate. Not as many embellishments on my card this time around, since it had to go in the mail. Hope everyone out there is having a great summer.

A successful sprout . . .

Isn't this My Besties image just one of the cutest ever, and I chose it for my guest designer card on My Besties Brasil for August (thanks, Claudia, for the honor!). I've colored with prisma pencils and gamsol, adding stardust stickles to her large hair flower, then the rest is pretty much embellishments, so you'll have to take a good look around to peg them all. Hope everyone is having a terrific summer (even though a bit "hot").

Strawberries, yum . . .

I was delighted to be asked on as a guest designer for this month's fifth anniversary celebration of Rabisco's challenge site - congratulations to you! I've colored up the sponsor's image and continued with the strawberry theme, using background paper and diecuts. I've tucked in a couple lacy doilies and topped off with a couple pretty bows. Wishing you many more challenge years, and congrats once again. I've entered the following challenges: Ching-Chou Kuik - AG; The Paper Shelter - AG; Rabisco - celebrations
