Mother's Day Cards!

Hi Everyone! I have been working on Mother's Day cards today. I have the one I made for my mother and the one for my mother-in-law to show you. Hopefully, because I have these made already I will manage to get them to them before Mother's Day! I am the worst for having a gazillion cards made up, but just not the "right one" for the person I need to send one, so I am always late!


My first card is for my mother. She loves baseball and still plays softball at 57 (hopefully she won't be mad at me for saying her age!) I am just so proud of her athleticism! So, I turned Baseball Ian from The Greeting Farm into Baseball Anya. I had to do the card with lots of yellow because that is her favorite color. The DP is Sassafras Lass, and the sentiment is retired SU. I colored the ribbon and the brads with Copics! The image is also colored with Copics:

Skin: E00,E11,R20
Hair and Bat: E21,E25,E27,E29
Clothes: Y11,Y15, Y17, G05, G09, G17
C1,C3,C5,C7,C9



The second card is for my mother-in-law. She likes things that are much more girly than my mother does and I think this sort of old-fashioned sweet little girl (Daisy from Sugar Nellies) is perfect for her. The DP is Crate Paper, the flowers are Prima, and the brads are Doodlebug sugar coated brads. Also, I printed out a bunch of sketches the other day and this is from one of the online sketch challenges but I didn't write it down. As soon as I have a chance I will find out where it came from and put it on here. (ok, I found it. It is from A Spoon Full of Sugar challenge #21) The image is colored with Copics:

Skin: E00,E11,R81
Shirt: RV91,R81,R83
Pants: B63,BV13,BV17
Grass: YG11, YG17
Flowers: V93,V95,V99

One last thing - Club Anya and the Greeting Farm are going to have a very cool Blog Hop that you (with YOUR blog) can participate in to celebrate the new release on the 15th. You can go here to get all of the details and to sign up (you don't want to miss seeing the new sets - the are fantastic!)

Thanks for visiting me! :-) Traci

New Digi's at The Greeting Farm!

I am beginning to think that Marie at The Greeting Farm can read my mind! One day, last month I was thinking it would be cute to have an Anya Pixie, so I decided to make my own by drawing wings and using Rockstar Anya and Dress Me Anya. The very next day, before I even loaded mine to the gallery, Marie showed a sneak peak of Tink, Chloe and Eva! So then, right before the images arrived for the DT team to prepare for this sneak peak I was thinking "I'd love a baseball Anya or Ian to make cards for my mother, brothers and nieces and nephew" (they're all big baseball fans!) and then this cutie arrived in Digi form! What do you think I should wish for next?! HA!

The first card uses Creative Imaginations DP and some star brads I've had for awhile. I used a brown Prisma marker to make the silver brads look older because I wanted a vintage feel to this card. Ian's hat has an "A" for team Anya!

My second card with Baseball Ian was done in my high school colors as a birthday card for my little brother. Ian's arm and the baseball ard are cut out and popped up. The DP is K&Co.


Ok, is this Easter Anya Digi the cutest ever with her basket of eggs and bunny ears? I had to use lots of sparkle and Easter egg colors! The big eggs are all cut out using oval nestabilities. Two of them were from Making Memories DP and the other were SU card stock that I ran through a cuttlebug embossing folder. I added glitter to the raised images on the pink egg and suger coated brads from Doodlebug Designs to the green egg. The tri-fold tutorial can be found on Markie's Mom's blog.


Both of these cuties will be available in digital form tomorrow at The Greeting Farm. Tomorrow will also be the sneak peak for the last "Mystery" Anya and the blog hop with the guess the "Mystery" Anya contest so be sure to visit The Greeting Farm and Club Anya tomorrow. If you haven't already, take a look at what the other awesome Club Anya DT members have done with these cuties!

A Curious Cased Card and A Color Challenge

I have two cards today. My first card is for the color challenge at Splitcoaststampers (and also the Card sketch challenge!). The colors this week were Summer Sun, Pumpkin Pie and Kiwi Kiss. Since the little blocks in the sketch were so small I decided to use the little chick from McSplendid Farm from The Greeting Farm. I used my Cuttlebug embossing folder for the white panel and the chicks are colored with Prisma Markers

At The Greeting Farm Marie challenged us to CASE this sweet little card by KristineMB and the second card is my attempt. I decided to use Skateboard Ian and go very bright! The DP and ribbon are old Basic Grey. I colored Ian with my Prisma Markers and popped him up with Dimensionals.

Have a wonderful weekend!
