31 Days of Halloween - Day 15

The sweet is seeping in again. Today I have a card from the Sweet Pea Stamps Karen Middleton collection.

 

The blog roll is in the sidebar, hope you have a great weekend and thanks for all the great comments. j

31 Days of Halloween - Day 14

For all the cute stuff I have shown this far, today's card is the closest to my true nature than anything else. The sentiment was just typed up, the image is from Third Coast, papers are Immortal DCWV stack. Have a great day!

31 Days of Halloween - Day 13

This piece features an image from Third Coast also. I am thinking it will be a neat hanging. Ideas???

It was colored with copics and the papers are from the DCWV Immortal stack.

31 Days of Halloween - Day 12

Yesterday I was asked where I shop for papers, next to acquiring rubber is adding paper to my stash - which, if stacked would be really close to hitting the ceiling....anyway, my favorite place to get papers from is a site called Part Time Sally. They offer a bunch of different lines, most of them are last years, I guess, but they have some awesome specials at times and if you sign up for the weekly newsletter occasionally there are coupons included.

Another site I like is Cosmo Cricket's Miss Paper Jane. They offer a lot of  their older lines and occasionally have some swell sales.

If you enjoy Webster's Pages lovely offerings, check out their website and join either their group, I think it is ning...anyway they have been offering grab bags of their goodies which include papers and embellishments for a pretty good price.

Two other groups on yahoo to check out are Collage Stuff and Frantic Stamper. Join the groups for newsletters, Collage Stuff offers free shipping occasionally and members only specials. Frantic Stamper has grab bags of stuff that they discount occasionally for group members and her boxes are fantastic - stuff to the gills.

Taking a break from the cute little trick or treaters, I thought I would share this door hanging. The image is from Third Coast RS. Isn't it fantastic? I just love it.

 Hope you enjoy it, don't forget to visit the other blogs in the hop, the links are in my sidebar!

31 Days of Halloween - Day 11

Hey! It's me again, today my card features Karen Middleton's Floating Frog from Sweet Pea Stamps. It was colored with copics, the papers are from Cosmo Cricket's Matilda.

ttfn!

31 Days of Halloween - Day 9

Here we are at Day 9, I don't know about anyone else but I am pretty surprised I have made it this far! Up until a couple days ago, the cards I had posted I actually made back in August when the hop was first announced and I knew I would need a big head start since I tend to wait until the last minute to do anything....no I am at that point, so wish me luck!

Today's card features a Sweet Pea Stamps image found in the Karen Middleton line titled HalloQueen, isn't she cute? The image was colored with copics, the paper is Matilda from Cosmo Cricket.

ttfn!

31 Days of Halloween - Day 8

Today I am mixing it up a bit - these are a pair of ATCs. The papers are Basic Grey Eerie, Stamps are from VivaLasVegas Stamps (yes, I have other stamps besides just Sweet Peas ;-), they were colored with copics. I added the broom to the floor the cat is sitting on so he could fly, the hat on the witch was also done freehand, not the most perfect, but I think they work pretty well.

Btw, I call the set Beauty and the Beast.

I hope you have enjoyed today's stop!

31 Days of Halloween - Day 7

Today I would like to share Terra Bidlespacher's Grendalyn image which can be found at Sweet Pea Stamps. It was colored with copics, the papers are Matilda from Cosmo Cricket. Just something simple I put together last weekend for the hop. 

31 Days of Halloween - Day 6

Welcome to the Smeared and Smudged 31 Days of Halloween blog hop!

I have had a few comments or questions rather about a few of my projects over the past few days. First is yesterday's card, a few deets:
The image is colored with copics, the  papers are from Memory Box and the doily frame is an acetate doily I don't know who makes them but they come in packs with several...thinking webster's pages, bobunny or ? The flowers are prima and the ribbon is real, lol.


Next question was the size of the Day 4's card is 8x8.

Day 2 I believe I did use a sketch for that one, I find a lot of inspiration on the Feline Playful blog and if you scroll through their history you will find all kinds of wonderful sketches. This one is from about a month or so ago.


Thanks for all the wonderful comments so far, this is a really fun hop!

deconstructing jen challenge

today I would like to share a card featuring a ching chou kuik image titled The Koi from Sweet Pea Stamps. The sketch is the challenge at deconstructing jen, papers are 7gypsies and Basic Grey, the image was colored with copics and I used Goosebumps on the card front for a bit of texture, masking the center of the image before spraying. While the texture was still wet, I sprinkled some aqua glitter from Sprinkle and Sparkle for a little extra bling.

I hope you have enjoyed your stop today, check out my post next week on the Sweet Pea Stamps blog where I will be featuring two other round images from the cck collection!

Today I would like to share a card featuring the Mahina Mermaid from Third Coast Rubber Stamps. I was recently given the opportunity to be a guest designer and this is one of the gorgeous images I was given to create with. I picked the image out because of the unusual beauty - there are several other images that coordinate with it and it shows up under the tarot category. See the astrological sign? I didn't noticed it when I initially requested the image and was pleasantly surprised it was there when I started coloring it as I am a Pisces.  


I hope you have enjoyed your visit today and will take the opportunity to visit Third Coast RS. ttfn!

Time for a Tea Party...

a Monster Tea Party! This adorable image is from the Lisa Victoria collection at Sweet Pea Stamps. It comes with some four really cute images including a tea cup, pot, cupcake and petite four.

Challenge Submissions

Today I have a couple cards to share with you, they were both created with Sweet Pea Stamps images from the Brigid Ashwood's Phunky Phairies line of stamps.

This first card features the Zam, isn't he wild - he looks like he could really take you for a ride. The detail on these images is great, you can see all sorts of coins and goodies flying from his pockets. This was the inspiration for the embellishments.

 This one was entered into the I{heart} to stamp sketch challenge.

My second card today is Remy, also find on the same plate as Zam. Remy is a bit sweeter, still carries a 'stuffy' as my youngest calls them. He just looks like the kid who picks up stuff of the ground all the time and stuffs it all into his pockets. So why not add embellishments that pick up on the same theme?

This card was entered into the Sketch Saturday challenge. Thanks for stopping by!

Welcome to the Karen Middleton Blog Hop

I am so glad you decided to stop by today. I have a couple cards to share using the Sweet Pea Stamps featured artist, Karen Middleton.

I used a sweet sisterly/best friend image from plate 113 for my first card. It was colored with copics and the papers/flowers are prima. I love this image so much. It reminds me of my two little girls (when they are getting along), so I tried to capture their coloring. 

I entered it into the Everybody Art Challenge sketch.


This fun image can be found on Plate 112 - isn't it the most adorable picture?

It was also colored with copics, prima printed papers and a webster's pages embellishment. It was entered into the Flourishes sketch challenge.

Currently, all full and half sheets in the Karen Middleton Collection are discounted 25%! All orders placed by July 4th will also be entered into a drawing for a $44.44 gift certificate to the Sweet Pea Stamps store.
