My Favorite Squigglefly

Today over at Squigglefly, the challenge is to use your favorite Squigglefly image. That was difficult for me since they have so many! I was torn between the bunny and the rooster...and the rooster won.

But really, how can you resist this cocky little guy? A few details: Me & My Big Ideas DP, Squigglefly image colored with Copics, nesties with Fired Brick Ranger Ink, Stampin' Up Sweet Shapes sentiment, and sewing.

The layout is Splitcoaststampers SC167. Hope you get a chance to join us this week at Squigglefly for a fun challenge!

BTW, I'm still in Hawaii having a GREAT time (I can't see the future, but I don't see how I couldn't be having fun right?).

Hoppy Halloween

LOL! Just thought of that pun now! That would have worked great with this little character!

This is Trix E from The Character Cafe colored with Copics. This was actually really quick to make and I was so excited to finally use my Martha border punch that I've had for a few months now.

The layout is Splitcoaststampers SC22. I added sewing and shaded with Spiced Marmalade Ranger Ink. The sentiment is a $1 acrylic set from Michaels.

Today a new challenge is posted at The Character Cafe Challenge Blog. I hope you will take a look and join in the fun!!!

Dragonfly Praise

Hello all. I've had this image printed for a while now and finally decided to put some color on it. By the time this posts, I should be walking off the plane in beautiful Hawaii!

The background paper is Pink Petticoat (these circles come in a variety of colors and is one of my favorite backgrounds...no I don't represent PP in any way LOL!). The image is Designed2Delight colored with Copics and I took a small dabber with Mustard Seed Ranger Ink to shade the inside. I was going for sunlight.

The sentiment is Praise by Roann Mathias over at Squigglefly. I did a little fussy cut around the image, added Liquid Pearls and put on pop-dots. Sewing as usual :)

Super quick and I think CAS as well.

Thanks so much for stopping by! Hope everyone had a fun and safe Labor Day weekend.

CAS Dracula

Hello and happy Saturday. I've got a quick share today of a CAS (clean and simple) card using one of Dustin Pike's images. I recently got it in a super deal he was running last week.

I considered putting a sentiment, but I just couldn't figure out where, so I've decided to stamp "Trick or Treat" on the inside. Digi is Dustin Pike, colored with Copics, 3D dots, ric-rak, PTI. That's it! Hope everyone is having a GREAT weekend!

This card meets the following challenges:

• Doodledragon Studio - No pretty/designer paper
• Just Scraps - #18 Fussy Cutting
• The Pink Elephant - TPE82 Mostly White
• Daisy Doodles - #16 Anything Goes
• Crafty Creations - #83 White plus One (black is my other "one" so hopefully skin color doesn't count)

U Rock

Hello all and Welcome to Friday with The Character Cafe. Today I'm bringing you one of the new releases for September as part of our monthly BLOG HOP!! Woo-hoo! Let me introduce you to Rockin' Fredrick:

First, card details: papers are MMe Wild Asparagus (I've used this for the past few cards since it's out on my desk and versatile...and I'm too lazy to pull something else out). The layout is from Splitcoaststampers SC296 (LOVE it!!). Lots of sewing on this one, but it really doesn't take long at all. Sentiment is individual letters from Inkadinkado. Image is TCC colored with Copics, nesties, and Faded Jeans Ranger Ink.

Isn't he just rockin'?! This little guy is going to Rhysie who is turning 3 years old this month. He's having a super cool party this weekend at one of those places with huge blow up slides and jumpers. Bean is super excited...still a little sick, but excited. Me too because adults have just as much fun.

So, next on the hop is the talented Angie

Women's Work

I absolutely LOVE the From My Kitchen Cricut cart. And of course I'm joking about the "women's work" title. Although one thing I would love to do is sit in the audience at the Martha Stewart show. I ADORE her.

There are so many great cuts on this cart that just scream "retro." This was cut at 4" in blackout, shift, layers, and shadow. I used chalk inks to shade all the pieces. The paper is a digipaper freebie from Digital Delights and the sentiment is computer generated (I placed a text window on top of the orange/yellow paper before printing - so I only printed once). I added a few gems for fun, sewing, and pop dots.

I really like this one. Nice and simple. Still trying to determine the inside sentiment....

Gettin' Dirty....With you is so much fun
Gettin' Dirty....is how I like it

Any other ideas? I was thinking something a little "frisky."

This card meets the following challenges:

• BBTB2 - From My Kitchen apron
• A Crafty Little Place - #54 Anything Goes

Summer Monkey

Hello everyone and happy Wednesday! Exactly one week....so next Wednesday, I will be on a plane to Hawaii!! I plan to see all the sights, and I'll probably look much like this little monkey in the ocean since I don't swim. Hmmm, I wonder if they even make cute tubes big enough to go around my pansa (tummy)?

This digi is from Designed2Delight colored with Copics and Prismas. I used Mustard Ranger Ink for my "sunny" background, sentiment is from a $1 Michaels acrylic set, sewing, MMe Wild Asparagus DP, added a few brads, and there's glaze on the "fishing ball" (I'm clueless about fishing terms) and glaze on the waves.

This little guy will go in my stack o' birthday cards, since I'm always low on them. BTW, at Designed2Delight Challenge blog, you can get a free digi EVERY week if you use the current week's freebie in your creations. Check out the blog for more info.

This card meets the following challenges:

• Cards For Men - #18 Long Summer Days
• Papertake Weekly - Just the One (only one DP used, and one main color)
• Party Time Tuesdays - #14 Birthday Card - Add Brads
