The Scrappy Chick

First day of school!

Yipee!  The kiddos are almost all back to school, so mommy has a few minutes to herself again!!  So I am doing what I want for a few...having a coffee and catching up on blogging!

I wanted to start the day off with an end of summer kind of card, but I have posted all that I made, so you guys are getting an early touch of Halloween instead.

This is Witchy Bella, from Stamping Bella.  I made this card for a sample for Enchanted Cottage.  Papers are from Heidi Grace.  The sentiment and spiderweb corners were stamped with the Unity set "Trick or Treat Peeps". 

Thats it for you today...I hope to start having regular stamping time again tomorrow!  Thereat of the day I need to catch up on errands and housework :(  Thanks for dropping by!

Betty Bombshell

I have a card for you today as well :)  I finally caught the nasty cold going through my house and it has done me in this weekend.  Luckily I stamped this last week so I can share something today.

Betty is from Stamping Bella, that I picked up from Enchanted Cottage.  She is colored with copics to match this fun new paper we got in from My Mind's Eye.  The feeling groovy sentiment I cut in half so that I could make it more round and less long or place the 2 words where I like :O

Betty's wings are highlighted with white Smooch, and the background was airbrushed with my ABS-180.

Here's the copics I used:

Panels were paper-pieced.  flowers are the Dahlia Nestabilites dies from spellbinders, sponged with ink then dotted with a jounalimg pen.  I added pearl white smooch to the insides of all of Suzettes flowers for some super shine!

(ETA...typed at 9pm last night, didn't post...sorry) Thats it for tonight.  Dealing with the monthly headache deal...urgh.  But we did have a great dinner with family tonight.   One of my moms brothers was driving through with grandkids on the way to DC so we ended up throwing about 30 of us together last minute for dinner out.  Now I have a basement full of cousins (14 year old girls) watching Twilight for the millionth time :)  More tomorrow.  Have a great weekend!  -Cyndi
