Club Anime Color Challenge

This months color challenge at the Club Anime Blog is an assortment of Christmas colors.  My colors are just a bit off, but this was the best I could come up with to match and still like the final product!  I used papers from Bo Bunny's St Nick collection and Dotted cardstocks and Sandy is colored in to match.

Sandy is available over at InStyle Stamps.  Isn't she absolutely adorable?!!  I added a bit of Polar White Flower Soft to the fur on her hat.  Ribbon is also by Bo Bunny.  The sentiment is from the set "Merry Messages" from Stampendous. 

My computer/printer connection has been acting up the last week or so and since I was running pretty last minute I kept the card simple, BUT I did manage to sneak in 2 cards!  The next one isn't for the challenge but I was just in the mood to do something with the cute Kitty-Cat image!

Kitty-Cat is also available from InStyle Stamps.  Mine is digi, so I blew it up quite a bit :)  The sentiment is from a different Stampendous set, this one is from "Festive Fluffles".  Papers for this card are from the Colorful Christmas collection by My Minds Eye.

Alrighty.  My first Saturday with nothing planned in months.  I have to get busy!  Have a great weekend :)  Thanks for stopping by, please don't forget to say hi!  (And don't forget to start reading and following  my new blog...click ---> HERE!)

Scrappy Sunday

Still in Disney and totally pooped.  we are going to the ark late today so that we can stay late.  we have tickets for Mickey's Very Merry Christmas party tonight!   I am psyched :)

OK, on to the eye candy.  I don't think I ever posted this one.  It was for a class originally, but it just ended up being a kit instead.  The pics are from a snowy day in January.  The big pic is my daughter Rachael with her cousin Julianna.  Those 2 could be sisters!  Papers are from the My Minds Eye Colorful Christmas collection.  The snowflakes were cut with Create a Flake #2 from Spellbinders, the icicles are covered with Frosted Lace stickles and wre punched with a Martha Stewart border punch.  Letters are a QuicKutz die.

OK, thats it...short post.  Have a great and lazy Sunday.  -Cyndi

Scrappy Sunday (well, now its Monday)

Okay chicas, I am bombarding you with a ton of layouts today...none with pics though, sorry.  These are all from classes at Enchanted Cottage or for my peeps in Hickory.

First up, Spooky layout featuring My Minds Eye "Boo to You".  Die cut letters are BossKut ; spiderweb punch is Martha Stewart.

Next up, from the same class is "pick of the Patch", uses same papers, also die cut letters "Metro" from QuicKutz; border punch by EK Success, and some dew drops.

This one was from this month, the first of the boy layouts.  Papers are also from My Minds Eye, Abbey Road Collection.  Title piece was die cut with Spellbinders' Labels 1 Nestie, stamped with Doodle Alphabet LC from Stampendous, then colored with copics.  Same border punch from EK Success.  Brads and buttons are also My Minds Eye.

Other boy layout...same paper collection, circles are cut with Ek Success Curvy Cutter.

OK, I didn't get this up yesterday, sorry.  Here's the rest for the day...

The next 2 are the girl versions of the previous pages.  Still My Minds Eye papers from the Abbey Road collection.

OK, off to work.  Enjoy! 

Short Stacks

A quick post for you before I head into work.  I am next door at the coffee shop savoring my Cinnabon Latte and yummy pumpkin muffin.  Looks like the cold weather is finally going to hit us head on.  'Bout time!

Here is a quick card I whipped up with the new "Short Stacks" clear set from Stampendous.  It has the most adorable combo of heads and bodies to mix and match for a bit of winter fun!  I paired these two with papers from My Minds Eye (Colorful  Christmas collection), added a bit of flocking (also by Stampendous) andsome gems.  The snowflakes were cut out with the Snowflakes 2 die from Spellbinders.

OK, off to the cottage :)  Thanks for popping by!   -Cyndi

One for all

Arrrrgh matey!  This cute Changito was part of the new clear stamp combo of Stampendous Changito images for Halloween...called Changito Treato.   He's all decked out in his pirate gear to match the cute paper from My Mind's Eye Boo to You collection.

BTW, did you notice the new designer button on the top corner of my blog?  I was asked to help design for the new January catalog for Stampendous!  How cool!!  Everything is all top secret right now, but I will have much to show you from them at a future date!  But you know how much I love my Fluffles and Changito...we got in a huge new order of the holiday releases at work so I picked up quite a few!!

Changito is colored with copics then airbrushed while still in the Spellbinders label die (same treatment for the sentiment)  I added some new Halloween dew drops (love these cause they are opaque!) and a but of Bo Bunny ribbon.  The layout is based on Jen del Muro's SFYTT from last week.OK, bedtime for me!  I have a big day tomorrow, I'll tell you about it later :)

Unity Wednesday

Happy Wednesday!  I haven't participated in a Unity challenge in a while, but I do have a couple of cards that I made with some Unity stamps...and today is challenge day, so, well, hey...This gorgeous tree and the swirly background are both from the set "Bright & Merry winter Wishes".  It was a set that we got in at work (Enchanted Cottage) a couple of months back and I just now got around to making some samples with.
 I stamped the tree and the swirls and then embossed them with white powder.  The blue dot at the top of the tree is a dew drop.  The ribbon is by A Muse, pattern paper is My Minds Eye.The next card I used one of the ornaments from the same stamp set.   Pattern paper is by Lil Davis, the die is a  pendant from Spellbinders, Renaissance Hearts. 

The ornament is colored with copics and Smooch.  Drops of silver are Liquid Pearls.    Thats it for tonight, but I have been working on lots of stuff, some I can share soon, some not for a while.  Thanks for visiting!  -Cyndi

Enjoy the Ride!

Good morning!  Can I tell you how sick I am of living in a sick house?  Urgh!  I thought we were all done then my hubby started it all back over, then my oldest daughter, now My youngest was home yesterday and today now so I can't even go to work.  I am running out of Lysol.

Anywho, I have a couple of  Unity cards for you today.  We got the Store only kits in from Unity at Enchanted Cottage and got to make a few samples!  The first I made with my Favorite image from the August kit...the ferris wheel.  I paired it with fun summery paper by My Minds Eye (Breaking Free collection).  The image was stamped, colored with copics, then airbrushed with my Copic 180ABS while still in the Spellbinders die to add a touch of a white border.  I used a really light W2 to do the airbrushing so itas very subtle.  The die is Labels 4, also used were Double end ribbon tags and Circle Nestabilties (all 3 from Spellbinders).  The star is cut from matching pattern paper and then I did some freehand doodling.

This card is made with images from the same set.  I used the Strawberry and the sweetness sentiment is stamped into the label which is all a part of the strawberry stamp image.  Make sense??  Papers are from Sandy Lion, the border punch is by Martha Stewart.  Nothing fancy, but I think it turned out kinda pretty.  OK, thats it for now.  I have been working on lots of scrapping lately before I take a break and get back to cards and design work.

Thanks for stopping in!  Have a great Thursday and stay healthy!  -Cyndi
