Sneaky Peeky Day 2!

*This is my second post for today, please scroll down for my Paper Romance Challenge card*

Oh what a sweetie! Arianna is the name of this darling mermaid and her sea horses. I had so much fun colouring her hair and making it sparkle. I will admit I went stickle crazy...I uncap that bottle and have a hard time not blinging up ever surface of my card...I feel better after confessing that so thank you hee hee. I apologize for the poor lighting on my cards. Still struggling without my lightbox.

I hope you also enjoyed yesterday's sneak peek's and also fallen in love with Miles the Mouse like I have. What a cheeky fella!

Okay, now go grab a drink and hop on over to our challenge blog to see some more Krafty Kreations which put my cards to shame. Love what these girls can do! Andi

It's time for Paper Romance's second challenge and it's summertime for PRC!

June Sneaky Peeky for Kraftin' Kimmie stamps

I am loving the new Miles the Mouse images from Kraftin' Kimmie's new artist- Steven Leary. Steven is our first official Krafty Guy. Wonder if we can get him to wear a t-shirt that says this hee hee. This Miles the Mouse image is called Beach Bum Miles and will be available this coming Sunday! I had bought these seashell and seahorse stickers to use with this release and I paired it up with some of my treasured American Crafts paper stash. I kept this card simple and used this week's sketch from CPS blog for my inspiration. Poor Miles doesn't realize though that he missed his 'cheeks' while putting on the sunscreen as they look rather pink. Poor lil' mousie hee hee.

This release is a special one as it not only has a brand new artist joining the team but it's also new Kraftin' Kimmie Kit time! This month's kit includes-

- 6 beautiful Mermaid images designed by Annie

- 6 matching accessory stamps

- a set of specially coordinating Mermaid sentiments

- AND it will only available at the KKS Shop as a kit, with a 20% discount for a limited time!!

Now hop on over to the challenge blog or to the other Krafty Girls which you can find in my sidebar for more sneaky peeky's!!! Andi

One of my first Magnolia's. I know I am slow on the trends here lol

Just a quick post today as I am off to spend time with the family today. Here is one of the first Magnolia I have done and it's for the advanced copic class at SGD. I used some new paper Sheila had in stock to go with my image. Purple and green are 2 of my fave colours so this was so fun to do. I had fun colouring her also while hanging out with Lori, Angie and Sheila at Angie's house last Saturday. We tried to give me a funky purple streak in my hair (Angie is also a hairdresser) but it got lost in my auburn hair. It was hard to colour while laughing so hard and I can't wait to do it again.

I hope you have a fabulous weekend! Andi xoxo

Let's get cardmaking old skool style

This week's challenge for Kraftin' Kimmie stamps is to use triangles on your card. Whenever I use triangles I always think back to my first excursions into scrapbooking way before cardmaking when all I knew was Creative Memories scrapbooking style. I was all about the triangles and paper strips. Anyone else have those memories too? Yep all about the triangles overlapping each other and stickers all over the place. I still have my old pages while I know others have redone theirs as it reminds me of my first attempts. Boy oh boy did I think I was incredible at it too! Sometimes my triangles overlapped and I felt so cutting edge hee hee!

I used the Shout Out image from the Cindy and Mindy line and inside it says I'm gonna shout it out loud...Happy Birthday! I used 2 triangles on my card and kept it pretty simple. I made it for my youngest DD to take to a birthday party but I  think I will remove the pins first- the parent's may not appreciate it lolz!

Whimsical Wednesday huge surprise!

Hey Everyone!

I am in shock June is  here already. Where did May go, seriously! For today's Whimsical Wednesday challenge I took the flowers out of the challenge photo and the quote for inspiration. When you read the quote on the challenge image (below) it's about appreciating life which is a great wisdom I can see passed down from our Elders. I had this card made awhile back and have been saving posting it to my blog till now. I chose paper with an explosion of colour and an image of sweetness and wisdom to inspire me. Hope you like it.

 I also want to share that with summer being so busy for us with family, vacations and work the DIEDRICH DARE will be taking a bit of a break....
