The Scrappy Chick

Agnes Ketto

Good morning!  sorry for being scarce lately, but I do have a lot of projects I have been working on...I'll get them up soon!

In the meantime, before I head into work here's another Ketto for you.  This is Agnes Ketto.  Another card I made for Enchanted Cottage.  She is all sparkly with Shimmerz on her skirt and wings and Glimmer Mist covering the whole panel.

OK, gotta skedaddle...happy Thursday!  Thanks for stopping by!

Double Challenge

  Sorry I have been gone for a couple of days...I have a card for you today for 2 challenges.   The first is for Cute Card Thursday...and guess what?  I won an adorable stamp from last week's  CCT challenge from Pink Gem Designs!  Yipee!!  I had never heard of this company before...they are out of the UK and the stamps are simply precious!  Thanks guys:)

This weeks CCT challenge is a recipe challenge...rip something, 2 papers, and 4 embellsihments.  I also used the color green for the Whiff of Joy challenge blog weekly challenge.

The stamp is Blossom Fairy Charlotte from the Whiff of Joy Medieval Collection.  After I colored her with copics and Shimmerz I cut her out then raised up her wings and added a paper flower over the stamped flower for extra dimension.  The corner flourishes are from a CTMH set...did you see the peeks of the new Whiff of Joy flourish set designed by Sonja?  You can see the set on Katharina's blog HERE.  Can't wait for the new release this Sunday!

OK, thats it for tonight!  Have a great weekend, and thanks for stopping by! -Cyndi

Whiff of Joy Challenge #17

 2nd post of the morning...I am on a roll!!  (This is really it for now though)

I just made this up right quick for the Whiff of Joy Challenge #17...sometimes mojo just hits!  I love how it turned out...I think some sewing on the panels would have added a lot...but hey, to get a card done that I am happy with in under an hour...WOW!

I used my Mouse Under Party Hat from Whiff of Joy  as the focal image.  I have been dying to color him in and poor guy, he keeps getting shoved to the bottom of piles :(  The layout for the card is todays challenge...a sketch by Donalda.  Lots of fun elements to the sketch...I re-arranged some just a tad.

I used lots of sparkle on this card.  The flower is painted with Celery Shimmerz (as is the bow on the hat).  His little ear is colored with a pink copic then painted over with pink Shimmerz.

  I also used my Spica glitter pens to highlight the dots on the hat and the bow.  Finally I added some bling on the tag with gems from Me and my Big Ideas...I love the color of these and have almost used them up...I need MORE!

Alrighty, I need to go and run a couple of quick errands.  Thanks for visiting!  -Cyndi

Disney Villains

A quickie post for you...sorry I have been lax for hte last couple of days.  But here's a fast layout for you:)

The Queen of Hearts prompted me to do a valentine theme for my Disney Villains pics from our last Disney trip.  The paper is Bo Bunny new Valentine's line, I used my jumbo scallop scissors for the pink border, then added a few gemstones and a ribbon. 

The red mat is traced with a Funky Frames Technique Tuesdays tile then cut out.  Title is rubons & stickers from my stash...the heart border is a stamp from Great Impressions.

This is the closeup of part of the title.  The tile is also from the same Technique Tuesday pack.  For this one I painted it with pink Shimmerz...look how sparkly and pretty!  (It only took 2 layers and dried super-fast!)

The little hearts at the bottom were also painted over with Shimmerz, but I forgot to take a close-up of that part, sorry!

Alrighty...thats it this morning!  Happy Monday:)  Thanks for visiting!  -Cyndi

Challenge cards & Snow & CHA peek link

I have been a bad  blogger again this week.  Sorry.  There has been a lot going on here...including  a bit of SNOW finally!  Here's a peek at my 2 youngest yesterday, out playing in the whopping 2 inches we got...woot woot!!  (Hey, its NC...thats a LOT for us!)

  At least they had fun and I got a couple of snapshots to make layouts with!  But I know, thats not why you are here.  Wanna see some cards??

First up is my magical unicorn card!  There is a contest going on over at The Greeting Farm...just download the unicorn image and create a magical unicorn, then you could win 2 free sets!  Woohoo!!  (Only thing is, today is the last day so you better hurry!)

Here is my unicorn...I felt that green was a nice magical color, with blue hair, right??  She matches this adorable pp from heidi Grace.  she is cut out with circle nestabilites, and I added a touch of bling with some fun gems that I am TOTALLY addicted to right now.  The yummy ribbon is from my stash.

Here's a closeup of her.  Her name is Starpaw.  You can see here the shimmer of her mane...there is magical unicorn dust in her hair (kind of like pixie dust??)  That was created with a Stardust glitterpen from Gellyroll...a must have for all crafters!

I pulled out my handy dandy Prisma pencils for this one.  My shading isn't bad, (I used copics after for more variation) but I still have streaks where the pencil lines are in the center when I try to blend with the stump.  any suggesstions?

Here's the supplies:

• Stamps: Magical Unicorn digi (The Greeting Farm); Make a wish (Sandy Lion)

• Paper: Reagan's Closet (Heidi Grace); White cs (PTI); Cocoa cs (CTMH)

• INk: Palette Noir; printer

• Accessories: Circle Nestabilities (Spellbinders); gems (MaMBI); Prismas; copics; Gelly roll glitter pen; ticket corner punch (SU!); jumbo scallop scissor (for tag); ribbon (stash); tape runner (Scotch)

  Next card is for the Whiff of Joy Challenge blog weekly challenge.  This week is a sketch by Katharina.  I did stick to the sketch, but It still needs something.  (More layers??) Darker color to ground it?  Can't decide.  This is what happens when I don't sit and look at a card over a couple of days before I finalize it.

I was trying to use up some scraps on my table from a Piggy Tales project from last week...BTW, did I show you that?  I will in a sec....maybe tomorrow...hehe.  This is almost the end of what I have of the Cinderella collection..but I may can eek out one more card another day with some bits :)

I used my fav of the newest Party Animals release from Whiff of Joy...Henry Celebrating Mouse (along with Party Sentiments).  Is he just stinkin' adorable??!  He is also all colored in not only with copics, but layers of Shimmerz paints on top!

Here you can see his sweet pink glimmering ears!  They just make me want to squeel!!  I love, love, love my Shimmerz!  I only have a handful of colors. My LSS doesn't have any of the new ones that I am coveting...Yet!

BUT, speaking of Piggy Tales earlier...the rep was in our store a couple of days back and the new PT lines coming out next month....eeeekkk!!  I can't wait!!  I love getting peeks:)  If you didn't follow my link the other day, check out the Piggy Tales blog for peeks at the newest 4 collections!
