Happy Mother's Day!

Hello! Happy Mother's Day to those who are! Today I bring you a fun contest (thought of by me! WooHoo, because I never think of contest ideas!!) from Club Anya! In honor of Mother's Day, we are having a contest where your little one gets to be the boss! Here are the rules:

1.) Your child and/or children pick ALL the supplies for you to create a card...because they said so! Yes, we mean ALL other than adhesive, trimmers etc.

These supplies chosen by your kiddos MUST include:
CA&F qualifying stamp
Cardstock and Designer paper (and they can pick from ALL your piles of it! :D)
ANY and ALL embellishments (and you can't add anything extra, either :D)
ANY and ALL punches/tools not absolutely necessary for cardmaking (i.e. border punches, shapes, piercers, etc.)

Here is my card with all of the supplies picked out by my 10 year old, Ronnie:

She is obviously way more adventurous than me - I almost always use DP from the same company and usually from the same line so that it all coordinates. She just grabbed papers in blues and greens that she liked. (She just read that and thought I was insulting her - I was meaning I am very impressed with her using her own eye to put things together like she did!) Some of the pieces were small scraps and I worked with the scraps rather than getting a bigger piece out. She handed me two packets of jewels and I pulled the colors I wanted out of them - I assumed the rules would not mean that I had to use all of the jewels in the package!

The Details:
Stamp: Miss Anya Dressy - The Greeting Farm
Paper: Stampin Up (blue dot), DCWV (dark blue print), My Mind's Eye (green prints), Soft Sky (SU), White (Paper Trey Ink)
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black, Versamagic Oceans Depth
Copics:
Skin: R00,E00,E11,R20
Hair: E40,E43,E44,E47
Misc: Darice Jewels, Taylors Tiny Twinkles, Prisma Flowers, Spellbinders Nestabilities Labels Die

I can't wait to see what you and the Kiddo's come up with! And don't think if you are not a mom that you are left out - borrow a friend's kid or a niece or nephew!

Miss Anya Rocks!

Hiya! First, I have to apologize to any Green Bay Packers fans out there - I am responsible for the Cardinals win yesterday (hee hee)! You see, I discovered that when their games are aired in my area and I color with my Copics while watching the game I bring them luck and they play well! So, YAY for their win yesterday! This is the card I was working on for the first half of the game:

I used the sketch from Club Anya's Sketchy Saturday to make Miss Anya a Rocker! She has the body of the Miss Anya Love with the nifty boots (and I made them red patent leather with some Chrystal Effects), the face and right arm of the seated Miss Anya Love (I erased the outside edges of her hair and her ponytail using baby wipes and then redrew in her razor cut shag!) and the guitar and left hand of Rockstar Anya. When I do this much altering I usually stamp all of the images, color them, then cut them apart and layer them the way I want them.

The Details:
Stamp: Miss Anya Love, Rockstar Anya, Anya Says - The Greeting Farm
Paper: Sassafrass Lass, Basic Black (SU), White (PTI)
Copics:
Skin: R00,E00,E11,R20
Hair: E50,E53,E55,R81,R83,R85
Clothes:R22,R24,R27,R29,R81,R83,R85,C3,C5
Misc: Chrystal Effects, Black Glitter (SU), Stardust Stickles, Ribbon-Creative Imaginations, Guitar and Skull Eyelets - Eyelet Outlet

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Some Fun With Anya and Friends

Have you heard that the Club Anya blog is now primarily a challenge blog? It sure sounds like there is going to be a lot of fun to be had!! So far this week they have issued two challenges and I was able to do both!! The first one, issued on Monday (and called Monday Mania!) was a monochromatic challenge. That is SO hard for me so I stewed for a bit over it and this is what I came up with:

The second challenge was for Wild Card Wednesday and this week it is a CASE challenge. You can see the original card HERE. I used the same layout and stayed with the Easter theme but I used one of the new Miss Anya Love stamps (although I did borrow Easter Anya's basket for her. I added a few more eggs to the basket.)

For sketch #7 I decided to do some paper piecing for her dress, tights and headband.
