Lil' Bug Emma Card

I have had this image colored for awhile, just now getting around to making a card. Do you like the roses? They are going to be a new item at All That Scraps very soon.

The stamp image is Lil' Bug Emma, which was released last night, the saying is Amy R Designs Love Sentiments. I used copic markers, which I noticed we are really low on in the store. Eekk. 

I have quite a few new things to get added to the store, Whiff Of Joy, Bildmalarna, In 2 Stamps, Tim Holtz Reinkers, and new Spellbinders. And while I work on that I think I am going to get out some St Patty's Day digi's.

Have a happy day!

 
 
 

Spooky Tree and Wii Guitar Hero

I'm cleaning house today, doing laundry, entering the new Imaginisce on the site, and having some stamping time. It's raining today, I love when it rains, I get really energized and get tons done.

Oh about the Wii, we have the guitar from guitar hero and was wondering if you have it how do you store it? Does it have a base you can buy?

Now onto the card-

 

I think I need to re-photograph this card. The BG paper is Cauldron, it looks nicer in person.

 

 

 

 

Autumn Emma and Indian Summer

Have you seen Basic Greys new paper? I was so super excited to see them come out with a Halloween set this year, I haven't played with it yet but I plan on.

Back in July Basic Grey offered their wholesalers a free set of all the new papers to the first 200 that placed an order. Well I jumped on it, free paper how could I resist. Since I now have so much paper I really need to use it.

I don't know why but things don't look straight on the card, they are in real life. Anyways I paired up Emma, Autumn Sentiments, and BG Maple Sugar.

This was a pretty simple card, I colored Emma in with Copics, used some Bazzill I had laying around, and sponged the edges with ink.

I am trying to get back to stamping, it seems to be so busy around here lately. I actually did get to stamp for a couple hours today. I made this card a couple days ago.

The spider web is from last years holiday Cuttlebug Folders. I embossed it on the new C.C. Designs Cosmo Glitter Paper, it is a thinner weight paper than our C.C. Designs Copic Quality Papers.

Kiki got a little make-over and a formal name

On my birthday this year I am having a stamp release of Kiki La Rue. My birthday is August 21st, so next Friday. The new Kiki La Rue's will be available starting at midnight on the 21st.

We are going to have a Birthday Special, if you buy all 3 Kiki La Rue's there will be a discount, but on my birthday only.

Here is Shy Kiki-

 

 

Kiki's

So when I am drawing sometimes I get bored and start doodling. Well I doodled up this Kiki-

 

What do you think? I think she needs a nose. There is just something about her that doesn't quite look right to me.

And there there is the July Kiki-

 

I had a good copic day with this image. Her pants look life like in person. I love days like that.

 

I have a whole collection of Kiki's, I think I am holding off making them into rubber because there is something just not right.

Here is another one I drew-

 

I don't know which I like better, circle rollers or square rollers.

So do I make Kiki into rubber? Do I add a nose?

 

 

 

Preview Day 2 Sugarplum Beachies

The Sugarplums are back, but I changed them a little. And they have new names they are Emma and Trevor.

This is Bathing Beauty Emma, there are actually 3 other stamps in here that will be previewed in the next couple of days. So do you like the new look of the Sugarplums?

We also have a Sugarplum scene set and Beach Sentiments that will be previewed in the next 2 days, they all co-ordinate together. Then on Sunday we are previewing Gingersnaps, the set is called Bugg-A-Boo's! How about a little sneak peak of the Gingersnaps?

 

 

Preview Day 1: Cookie Crumbs Tilly

Diane drew another cute cow set, this sets has cow accessories too.

I was blog hopping the other day and came to a blog that had some images colored with Copic markers. She used dark grays in the "corners" of the image and then the colorless blender to blend them out. I also took the lightest pink I had and drew a line around the stitching, then took the colorless blender and blended it out giving it a softer look.

I wanted the image to be the main focal point so I kept the card very simple. I used decorative scissors to make the white scallop on the bottom. The photo turns are a Sizzix punch I have had for a long time, I seem to be using them a bit lately. And the image fit perfectly in my Mega Scalloped Square Punch.

Tomorrows preview is NEW Sugarplums! They have a new look and new names, Emma and Trevor.

What a busy week

This has been one busy week I was up at the building both Tuesday and Wednesday getting rubber pressed. Our big vulcanizer was down, something was wrong with the wiring. Then Thursday the girls had dental appointments. One of the twins stayed home today saying her tummy hurt, well she seems to be perfectly fine now, dang kid!

I have been working on June's stamps. I am going to do a set of Gingersnaps and then I am working on ones called Pink Cherries (cutie little fairies).

I haven't thought about Lucky, Lulu's, Bear, etc. lately. Do you want to see more sets with them? If so what should I draw?

Here is a little Glam Girl eye candy-
