Be Mine

I created this cute little Valentine's Day card today (just in time to give away tomorrow)

I used this cute image Valentine Kitty from Aurora Wings.

You can find it HERE in the new Aurora Wings Shop.

I coloured it with copics, just lightly flicking the fur with c5 and C1.

I colorued the conversation hearts with a couple of shades of pink and some red.

I used my rectangle dies to cut out the dotted frame around the image and mat.

I hope you like what I've created.

I'm entering this card in the following challenges

Aurora Wings February Facebook Challenge (Red, Pink, White) 

I Love You

I created this card for the latest challenge at 

Open Minded Crafty Fun

Challenge #6

Theme - Seasons / Holidays

(I chose Valentine's Day)

I used the image from Digi Stamps for Joy - I love you

This is something near and dear to me as I took my 6 month old son to Baby Sign Language classes (way back almost 10 years ago) and we have always used this "I love you" sign to each other.

I hope you like what I've created and will pop over to the

Open Minded Crafting Fun blog and see what the other team members created.

I look forward to seeing your creations.

Another LOVEly card...

I coloured this image with copics and kept it pretty basic.

Matted it and added a patterned paper and doily and it was done !!

I added some bling, but struggle to do random placement (as you may be able to see)

I'm entering this card in the following challenges:

February Mid-Month Inspiration from Fitztown

It's the middle of February and that means it's time for some mid-month inspiration for the latest challenge at Fitztown

Challenge #68 - Anything Goes

with a twist to "have a heart" or use a heart on your creation

I used Valentine 13 for my card.

I had fun trying to use stippling technique on my bear.  

In person this card looks a bit better than in the photo...it's hard to get the angel quite right to show the fur of the bear.

I hope you like it and I do know it's a bit later for Valentine's Day 

this year but I will put it away for next year !!

I hope I've inspired you to play along this month for our challenge at Fitztown

A Vamp for Valentine's Day

I got to colour this SEXY image from Kenny K this week for the latest challenge at Inspiration Destination.

Challenge #20 - Anything Goes - Sponsored by Kenny K.

I used the image Veronica Vamp and it certainly put my Skin and Hair lessons from Kit and Clowder to the test.  The photo doesn't seem to show the shading exactly as it is in real life, but I'm still quite pleased with my colouring here.

I hope I've inspired you to play along with us this week at Inspiration Destination.

Love you this much Monkey

This cute card is created for the latest challenge over at 

Inspiration Destination

Challenge #19 - Anything Goes - Sponsored by Digital Delights

I used the image "Love you this much Monkey" which can be found here.

I coloured it with copics and double-matted it and put in a tri-fold card.

I'm going to give this to my son for Valentine's Day since I always call him Monkey !!

I hope he likes it.

I hope you're inspired to play along too.  There are a couple of other projects I've created for this weeks challenge at Inspiration Destination, so don't forget to pop over to the blog and check all the wonderful DT creations out.

Happy Valentine's Day from a cute boy

I created this card using the wonderful image from My Whimsical Little World.

It's for the latest challenge at Inspiration Destinaton.  As always, the theme is Anything Goes, so there's no excuse not to play along.

I look forward to seeing what you create !!

A sweet Valentine's Day card

It's time for another challenge at Brown Sugar.

Challenge #130 - Valentine's

This week I used a cute image "Heart Balloons" from Stitchy Bear.

I coloured it with copics and added some stickles to glam it up a little.  Matted with black cardstock and adhered to some pink cardstock and it was done.  Nice and CAS and easy.

I hope I've inspired you to play along this week at Brown Sugar for a chance to win a prize. 

Some cute Kitties

It's time for the next challenge at Brown Sugar

Challenge #128 - Pink and Red

I used this cute image Valentine 15 which can be found here.

I coloured it with copics and the nice thing is that the kitties were already shaded with the printed image...so I didn't have to do much.

I hope you like what I've created and will play along with us at BSCB his week.

****************************************

A little bit about my colouring journey...
If you've been following my blog at all you'll see that my colouring has improved in leaps and bounds since starting the Skin and Hair class.  over at Kit and Clowder.  I can't wait to get into the Clothing class soon (I've signed up and printed the class booklet, and done a little reading)

Here's a peek at my before and after images...
coloured after taking only part of the Skin and Hair Class

It's Friday and another Design Day for me at Fitztown

Can you guess the theme of this week's challenge at Fitztown?
If you guessed LOVE or Valentine's Day...you're wrong...

Challenge #43 - Pick a Holiday

I chose Valentine's Day (which isn't really a holiday, but it should be)

This week I had fun with the VALENTINE 13 image.

I created this shaped Valentine's Day card by printing the image fairly large and cutting it out.
Then I cut a back (inside) piece too and attached them together after
printing "Happy Valentine's Day" on the inside piece.

I also added some pearls to the heart to dress it up a little bit. 

Here's a look at it inside:

I am very pleased with how this turned out.  

I hope you'll play along with us for the current challenge here at Fitztown. 

I moustache you to be my Valentine...

My quickest card EVER!!!

I created this card this morning for the Meljen's Designs Challenge #195 - Time's Up (create a card in under 30 minutes) !!

This card took me a whole 3 minutes if you count printing it on my computer, colouring it up and adding Stickles, folding it, and chomping the corners !!

Okay...okay...I know it's not very elaborate, but it fits the bill for what I need for Kards for Kids, HSC cards (no embellishments/choking hazards) and it's pretty darn cute if you ask me. I'm going to make about a dozen more to send along to the kids.

It uses a wonderful image from Meljen's called WINTER SPRIG which you can find here:

Be my Valentine

Here's another card I created for Kards for Kids, HSC for Valentine's Day.

It uses another wonderful Kraftin' Kimmie Stamp by Cheryl Alger. Don't ya just love this little guy with his box of chocolates. I do. I used the SU Top Note die for the card, and scored the inside part of the card so it stands nicely without a fold/score on the front of the card.
