ATS Wednesay Challenge
Hello! It is time for another challenge at the ATS Wednesday Challenge blog and this one is a new one for me! I tend to do "just cards" so my knowledge of anything else is pretty limited. Good thing there is a great tutorial HERE for this week's challenge "Box in a Bag". It was really quite easy (it took way more time and effort creating the paper for the background than actually making the Box in a Bag! I created the background by using a couple of different colors of Glimmer Mist (plus a few homemade one's) along with a seascape mask. It was shaped like an anemone. Everything has lots of spray on it (even her tail) so it is very sparkly!
The Details:
Stamps: Fathom Calmsea, AmyR Summer Sentiments - both from All That Scraps
Paper: White for background (Georgia Pacific), Night of Navy (SU), White for image (Papertrey Ink)
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black
Copics:
Skin: R00,E00,E11,R20
Hair:BV01,BV02,BV04,V04
Tail:G14,G05,G17,BV02,V04
Misc: Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist, Pearls (Reminisce?), Fiskars Wave Punch, Martha Stewart Large Border Punch (Shell looking handle piece), Ribbon (SU), Stardust Stickles.
Thanks so much for stopping by! I hope you will get a chance to join us in the challenge this week.Remember, every week there is a new and exciting prize being offered and in order to be eligible to win, your card must include a stamp that is sold in the All That Scraps store. Whether it is any of our wonderful in house designs or from the various other stamp companies that ATS carries, the choice is yours. Then be sure to link up your creation with Mr Linky at the ATS Challenge Blog by next Tuesday at 10pm est!

Getting Cheeky with a Saturday Sketch
Hello! Pam had made another wonderful sketch to challenge us at Club Anya and Friends! I used the adorable Cheeky Mate and some cute pinwheel paper from Echo Park. I even had a pinwheel sticker that came with the paper so I was easily able to give her one to hold in her hand (it could have been done from the paper, too, of course. It just would have taken a little more time!)

Stamp: Cheeky Mate (The Greeting Farm) Sentiment from Hero Arts
Paper: Echo Park, Baja Breeze (SU), White (Papertrey Ink)

WCW - Kim's Sketch!
Hello! If you visited Club Anya and Friends yesterday you already saw the Fantastic sketch challenge by Kim - doesn't her sketch look like a work of art all on it's own!?
I have been feeling in a little bit of a rut lately - it has been hard for me to shift gears from all of the sewing I was doing for the Renaissance festival back to stamping. But nothing is more fun that playing with new stuff, right? Luckily a package arrived from The Greeting Farm with some new Washi tape that I ordered, and I decided to try out some Glimmer Mist as well! I used an embossing folder for the yellow background panel and then spritzed it with Glimmer Mist. The flowers were colored with a Copic marker and then sprayed with Glimmer Mist, too, so it is very sparkly in real life.
The Details:
Stamps: Cheeky Beauty, sentiment from Anya Says - both The Greeting Farm
Paper: Lemon Tart, Plum Pudding, White (Papertrey Ink)
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black
Copics:
Skin: R00,E00,E11,R20,V12,BV04
Hair: C3,C5,C7,C9,110
Clothes: V12,V15,V17
Misc: Ribbon (SU), Flowers (Imaginisce and Making Memeories), Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist, Washi Tape, Darice Gems, Taylors Tiny Twinkles
I hope you will get a chance to play with us this week - be sure to upload your creations to The Greeting Farm Gallery under Club Anya and Friends/Contests and Challenges/Wild Card Wednesdays/Kim's Sketch!

ATS Wednesday Challenge - Buttons and Ribbons
Hi Everyone! I know it may seem like I have dropped off the face of the Earth, but I have just been living in another time...sort of! Last weekend (and next weekend) is the Renaissance Festival here and I have a booth with several of my friends so I spent all weekend in the 16th Century! Between the two weekends of Faire I am busily sewing my fingers off to replenish my inventory, so I apologize for not being around to visit and leave comments! I did find the time to make a card for the All That Scraps Wednesday Challenge. This week it is to use buttons and ribbon. I just had to play with one of the new Sweet November stamps - Penelope and Shelly! They are so cute!

Sweet November Sneaks - Darby and Skip
This is my second post for the day - please scroll down to see my Sweet Pea card!
Hiya! This is the last day of Sweet November Sneak Peeks and today I get to show you Darby and Skip! I always adore Darby, and I think this is my favorite version of her yet! I love her sweet little face with her swim cap on! And she was so much fun to color! This card was a very quick card (other than the coloring) because I used stickers that coordinated with the DP to decorate!

Hiya! This is the last day of Sweet November Sneak Peeks and today I get to show you Darby and Skip! I always adore Darby, and I think this is my favorite version of her yet! I love her sweet little face with her swim cap on! And she was so much fun to color! This card was a very quick card (other than the coloring) because I used stickers that coordinated with the DP to decorate!

Magical Springtime
Hello! I have made a card today with one of the images by Elaine Cox called Magical Springtime (sheet 7, Plate 52). This is one of the first times EVER that I have colored an image without picking my paper first! (Can you believe it! I am such a chicken!) When I looked at this stamp I got this image in my head of this rainbow hair and everything else being (mostly) black and white so I didn't even think about the paper, which did make it pretty hard when it was time to pick that out! Her wings have Stardust Stickles on them for some sparkle, and I used a clear Spica glitter pen on her eyes for a more subtle sparkle.
The Details:
Stamp: Elaine Cox's Magical Springtime (sheet 7, Plate 52), sentiment from ching-chou kuik's Fantasy Art Collection, sheet 2, Plate 21) - both from Sweet Pea Stamps
Paper: Making Memories DP, Whisper White, Basic Black (SU), White for image (Paper Trey Ink)
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black
Copics:
Skin: R00,E00,E11,R20
Hair: R29,R24,YR09,YR04,Y17,Y08,G09,YG09,YG03,YG00,Y02,BV08,BV04,V17,V06,V04,B28,B24,B04,BG13,BG32
Clothes: C0,C1,C3,C5,C7,C9,110
Misc: Stardust Stickles, atyou Spica Clear and Silver Glitter Pen, Sakura Black Glaze Pen, White Gel Pen
I hope your day is magical!

She is a new Sweet November stamp that will be out on the 7th at All That Scraps! (Note: the stamp does not have her sitting on a rock, so you can put her on all kinds of things. I drew the rock.)

New TGF Stamps Are Here!
WooHoo! You can get the new Cheekies and Oliver and Amelia RIGHT NOW at The Greeting Farm!! I had so much fun celebrating the new release at PCP with my fellow TGF fans! If you were not able to make it, I am so sorry! It was a blast! 10 different conversations going on at once and SO much laughing!
I made a card today with Cheeky Mate! I just LOVE her boots! And after seeing Kim's (PaperBabe) card on the Hop last night, I had to make mine red, too! (Although, mine do not compare to the fabulous red boots Kim colored! I want some of those boots!)
I thought I might share a little about how I figure out which color to use when I am coloring my images...I have a chart put out by Copic and available HERE on their site, that I printed out on my favorite cardstock to color on (Paper Trey Ink). I filled in the chart with my markers and when I am coloring I almost always hold my DP up to the chart to pick out my shades. Even though there are a LOT of Copic colors, most of us don't own them all, and even if we did, sometimes you are going to need a color that is just not available! So I try to find the closest color and then decide how it is off - like does it need to be grayer, or more red tinged, etc. In the case of this card there was not a yellow like the DP. (I often seem to have a hard time with yellow.) Y21 was the closest but was too dark and a little too red-based. Y000 was too pure/bright of a yellow. So I colored the hat and dress with Y21, lightened it with the colorless blender, then colored over it with Y000. For the shading I used Y23 with Y00 over it. I think it ended up matching really well!
The Details:
Stamp: Cheeky Mate - The Greeting Farm, Sentiment - Hero Arts
Paper: My Mind's Eye, Pure Poppy, White (Paper Trey Ink)
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black
Copics:
Skin: E000,E00,E11,R20
Hair: E43,E44,E47,E49
Clothes: Y21 (lightened with Colorless Blender) w/Y000 over it, Y23 w/Y00 over it, R22,R24,R29
Misc: Spellbinders Oval and Scallop Oval Nestabilities, Fiskars Border Punch, Taylor's Tiny Twinkles, Ribbon (PTI)
Thanks so much for stopping by! Tomorrow I will have a Sweet November Sneak Peek!
