Little Things: LTCCB #72

 Hello Crafty Friends and Happy New Year !!  Hope we can start out your new year with lots of inspiration with all sister blogs going live today.  Don't forget to take a nap, if you stayed up hooting with the owls.  

This is for Love to Craft! Challenge Blog, Anything crafty goes.

I created this card from a bonus coloring project from Kit and Clowder. The image is from Alyce.  Even when we have been doing things for a long time, like coloring, it's always good to keep practicing.  Even taking a couple of classes to refresh, never know when you will learn something new.  

Here's the inside.

Hello Crafty Friends and Happy New Year !!!

This post is for Mix It Up Challenge Blog  Anything Goes with optional challenge NO Stamping.

No stamping, no problem!! Just get those fun die-cuts out and create something cute. I will say, it's hard when you want to stamp a sentiment, somewhere or just anywhere. I used a die-cut set from Sugar Pea Designs, Coffee Cuties. I did some layering with the die cuts.  This was fun and cute to create :o)

Couple months ago we did a Kit and Clowder coloring of a dragon building a snowman, I saw this image and had to have it too.  The artist is Lee Holland, image called Dragon Holding Stocking. The image is colored with my prismacolored pencils. Dragons are part of Christmas now, just as long as they don't blow fire and burn up the gifts.

Hello crafty friends :o)  Another new month, more fabulous new inspirations.  Please check out all the sister blogs.

This post is for MIUCB, Optioal Smooshing/Anything Goes

Sometimes I design things for other projects and decide I don't like them... on that project, so they get put to the side until I can figure out what to do with them.  After distressing a couple of cards, I didn't like them on another project, put made them front and center for this tag.  Stencil, scrap pieces of paper, paint, inks, and objects filled this tag .

A little sentiment for the back.

Love to Craft! Challenge Blog #70: Piggies in the Bucket

 Hello crafty friends :o)  Another month and more challenges.  Please make sure to visit all the sister blogs for inspiration and new challenges.

This post is for LTCCB, Anything Goes

Some cute piggies in a bucket enjoying the last few days of summer.  The image is from Lee Holland and I purchased it awhile ago.  When I went to post this blog, I noticed it was no longer in the store, this could be that it was Kit and Clowder's coloring for last month's class.  Hopefully, it will appear back in the store soon.  The image is colored in prismacolored pencils, no it's not the KnC class coloring. 

Here's the inside.

I can't resist cute bear images ... just bears in general.  This cutie is from Di's Digital Stamps, called Buzzy Bear.  The image is colored with prismacolored pencils, with a sponged background.  I wanted some kind of sentiment, so some small words stamped on clouds seemed perfect.

Love to Craft! Challenge Blog #69: I'd Be Lion

Hello crafty freinds!  All 4 sisters blogs are going live today, so make the rounds for inspiration. Here's my post for LTCCB, Anything Crafty Goes.

 My Favorite Things has made making box cards very easy, everything is ran through the die-cutting machine, just put together.  

The adorable image is from Lee Holland Art called Cute Lion and colored with my Prismacolor pencils.

I did sponge the edges of the grass to give it some depth, thought a few small flowers were needed.

The Rounded Banner die-cut was used for the back to stamp a sentiment. This Sentiment from Unity is perfect.

Merry Little Christmas! Challenge Blog #45: Snowballed

Hello crafty friends :o)  I'm here with my post for MLCCB, where it's Christmas all year.

Sometimes fun cards are a must.  If you need some "quirky" images, Twistoon is one place to look.  This image Snowball Thunk was colored with Prismacolor pencils. I wasn't sure what sentiment to use at first, so looking through my collection, I came across this CC Designs sentiment.  It works with the image.

Here's the inside.
