Feeling a Little Witch-y!

Did you all have a lot of fun on World Card Making Day (Saturday)? I am so sad that I didn't get to stamp that day. I just had way too much going on. I did manage to visit a few blogs and see some fantastic creations and I got to stamp a little bit on Sunday. I also went to see The Lion King and that was AMAZING!

I made this card yesterday during my little bit of stamping time. I am really in a witch-y mood lately and I have several different witch stamps so you may be seeing a few over the next couple of days!! This one uses an older image from Stamping Bella. The swirls behind the main image were cut with my Cricut and then I added lots of black glitter.

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!

Some Animal Lovin' Bella's

Today I made cards with two images from Stamping Bella. These are the first Bella's I've colored and they were so much fun! I just went over and loaded up my cart at their site. Between them and the new releases at The Greeting Farm today, I am SO over my craft budget (budget, what budget??!)!

So, I always thought I was a dog person until I got my cat. I haven't had a cat since I was very young, and I LOVE my cat. She is so sweet and when she crawls onto my lap it's because she wants to be near me unlike my dog who is just checking to see what I was last eating and if I dropped any! This card is for my friend who loves cats in general and mine particularly (she has cat sat while we were on vacation before). I used the stamp Kittycatabella. The DP and the flower are from Prima. I used my Nestabilites to cut out the image and the card stock it's layered on. I colored with Copics:
Skin: E50, E53, R20
Pants:B91, B93, B95
Hair, Cat, and Shirt: E43, E47, E49. Y15, Y17, Y38, YR16. T1, T3, T7, C0, C1.

For my second card I used Dogwalkabella. THE DP is My Minds Eye, the flowers are Prima, and I think the brad in the flower is from Making Memories. I used my white Signo gel pen to make the polka dots on her shirt. The rest is colored with Copics:

Skin: E00, E02, R20
Pants: YG95, G99
Top: BG32, BG34, BG49
Hair: E21,E25,E27,E29
Dogs and Shadows: C1,C3,C5,C7
Flowers: YR65, YR68

Thanks for taking time in your day to visit with me!

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!
