It's Your Birthday
Thursday, March 24, 2011
This was actually the first card I made for the CR84FN Color Challenge. I'm not in love with the coloring. From a distance it looks OK, but close up it looks a little over worked. Sometimes the more you try to blend it seems like color is removed by the lightest color. Know what I mean?
Have a great day!

Make It Monday #7: Adding Color To Non-Neutral Cardstock
Tuesday, March 22, 2011
This week's MIM challenges us to color on something other than the neutrals we are used to. I love this technique because it requires a lot less marker ink. It is also much easier to get a nice shaded effect than it is when starting with a stark white cardstock.
See You Later!

I've mentioned how much I love Ann's stuffed felt brooches and clips before. Check out her newest creations and how beautifully they are displayed!
Love this card of Debbie's. It reminds me of Kelly's card from last week.
Debby's card makes me think of Maile's new PTI set. Can't wait to get it!
Absolutely love the creativity of Amber's Make It Monday card for this week. The technique and final product are just incredible!
Dana's beautiful butterfly card is stunning. Love her use of patterned paper too!
Keisha is one of my all time favorites. Spend some time on her blog and you will see. Her crafts, her home, her photography...such beautiful style!
I LOVE birds. I love bird's nests too. Lea's card incorporates an adorable die cut nest and little pearl eggs.
Speaking of bird's nests, OMG:) Ashley's card just leaves me speechless!
Love Melissa's technique for stitching around the blooms. Perfect color choices too!
Sweet falling leaves by Carly.
This is an adorable, sweet story! Plus it is about a German Shepherd!

Thanks to NancyJane ;) I decided to enter this card into Moxie Fab World Tuesday's Trigger.
Play along, I know you've got buttons too!
Are you enjoying the extra sunlight?

I don't care that it is dark when I wake up.
I love having all of the extra light in the evenings.
Spring is almost officially here!

Bundle Of Joy

Just a simple card to go with the gift on yesterday's post.
I've had a few questions and concerns about stamping and coloring on the onesies.
This is by no means the only way to do this, but this is what worked for me:)
I stamped the letters and images with Memento Ink. I colored the butterflies lightly with my Copic markers. They will bleed beyond the border of the stamped image if you use a heavy hand, which is what happened with the one pictured here. It's not a lot of bleeding, but enough that I decided not to include it with the set. I decided, instead, to use it as a test. I threw it in the regular wash with our clothes and then into the dryer. When it came out, it looked just fine. Any bleeding visible in this photo was there before I washed it.
