Happy Monday!

Hi Everyone! I know, I'm not really supposed to put those two words together, right? But I have high hopes that the beginning of this week will be as good as the start of last week. The weather at the beginning of last week was so nice and it gave me all of this extra energy and put me in such a good mood (before it got all Fall-like by the end of the week!). But it's got to decide to fully be Spring sometime, right!?

Before I move on to my card for today, if you haven't been by Club Anya yet today you should head over. We are having a very cool contest and all of the details will be there. Believe me, you don't want to miss out on this!

My card today was done with Maisy, one of the Ketto stamps from Stamping Bella. I really like these stamps - so cute and kinda edgy! They look like they'd have a little attitude! The DP is DCWV, the Citrus Stack, and the ribbon is from Stampin Up. I colored her with Copics and added some Dazzling Diamonds glitter:

Skin: R00, E00, E11
Clothes and Hair: R02,R05,R08, Y11,Y15,Y17
C1,C3,C5,C7,C9

I am also showing the inside of my card because I really admire the beautiful insides (and outsides, too!) of Rosette's cards and she is inspiring me to think more of the inside as well. There is no sentiment yet because I don't know who this is going to or exactly what kind of card it wants to be yet!

Thanks for visiting me! I hope this is the beginning of a lovely week for you!

Meet Charlotte

Hello Everyone! I am using another Ketto Image today from Stamping Bella - Charlotte! I just love her! I have to admit, I have a hard time resisting images with striped socks. I don't know what it is! Maybe they all look like cute little witches to me, and I love Fall and all things Halloween!

It is a pretty straightforward and simple card. Charlotte is colored with Copic markers. The DP is Fancy Pants Designs. You may have noticed I don't use a lot of sentiments on my cards. Mostly that's because I enjoy making cards so much I am usually way ahead of what I need. So I just tend to make most of them so they can be used for a number of different things.

Thanks for sharing a portion of your day with me! Hope yours is wonderful! ;-) Traci

Some Ketto's

I intended to post this late last night, but I had a horrible headache. I ended up going to bed when my 9 year old daughter did!

I have two cards today, both made with Ketto images from Stamping Bella. These images are so sassy and fun if a little smaller than I expected (yes, I know it lists the size right on the site, but you know when you picture something in your head a certain way...)

The first uses Tatiana. I colored her with Copics and mounted her on some SU cardstock cut out with Nestabilities. The DP is Sassyfrass Lass. I somehow missed this stuff when it was new and had to track it down when I saw some (not the same print, but same line) used on a card by The Whimsical Butterfly. The photo corneres were punched with an SU punch.


The second card uses Suzette. I suppose she turned out a little Fall-ish but I just couldn't help myself when I saw all of those pretty sunflowers. The paper is Basic Grey. I got the idea for the flower from Melissa who makes the most beautiful home made flowers for her cards. I have a lot to learn and a ways to go before I can even come close to her gorgeous creations. Mine uses paper towels, coloerd with Copics to match Suzette, a circle of cardstock and a swirly paper clip (I'm sure there's an real name for those things, but I don't know it!)

Thanks for visiting today! I hope your day is GREAT!
