I coloured Josephine ( I am totally infatuated with her, her sayings and her little love potion bottle!) with Copics. To keep the earth Tones, I did the Hearts in Salmon Red with Brown (E08) shading... I used Fruit Pink for the lighter areas. She Looked like she needed some stitching, so I zig zagged my way around the Basic Grey Indian Summer Paper and the main image as well. I cut the heart freehand and stitched it onto the card with a straight machine stitch. I am really Pleased with how this card turned out. I initially thought about adding a little more here and there, but then decided that sometimes less is more.
I hope you enjoy your Sunday! I'm going to have a lazy day today, just because I can!
Happy Stamping!

Kraftin' Kimmies December Release Preview
Ohhhh the eye CANDY that you will feast your eyes upon today is going to be UNREAL. I've had a chance to see some of Kimmie's Krafty Girls preview cards and I have to say that they are UNBELIEVEABLE~~~ This month, Kimmie has some super talented Krafty Friends playing along, so for a complete list of Preview sites , head on over to the KK Challenge BLog. We have two days of previews, followed by a HUGE blog hop on Sunday!!!
Funky Drucilla thinks that love is in the air...............if it doesn't come to her, she's going to get a little help from her dolly friend to make it happen.........she is deliciously macabre, which is what I love about Annie's images. I coloured her with Copics, I love to use Eggshell and Sand to make an antiquey/teastained effect. The Designer Paper is from Making Memories (glittered) and Graphic 45 (dotted)Buttons, Bows and my new EK Success Border Punch Complete the Look. The sentiment is one of two new sentiment sets that Kimmie will be releasing this Friday!

The Frog Prince Card was quick and easy. I cuttlebugged the soft pink base to add some dimension, cut out the main image with a nestie and added some wide Olive Ribbon to create a border. Some Pink Gingham Ribbon and a Queen and Co Brad pull the pink theme all together. The image is coloured with Copics, Gold Gel Pen and Sakura Red Glaze pen.
Don't forget to join us tomorrow for the Final Blog Hop!
Happy Stamping!

Pink Cat Thursday!
And that means new Digital Images!! This week, poor Lily and Billy are under the weather! Seems to be the norm for people this last month. Almost everyone I know has had the flu or a lingering cold that won't seem to go away!
Gee, I wish that I could look this good when I am under the weather! Not a chance, my hair is usually sticking up all over the place, my complexion pasty, but I have a chair that looks almost identical to Billy's. It's very comfy and even at 5'10", I can curl up in it just like that!!!
The {Stamps} of Life-Joy2Christmas Scrapbooking!
Our Craft Lounge Sneak Peeksand some Candy too!
I wanted to keep my layout for this card simple, with the focus being on the main image. I coloured with Copics, adding some silver gel pen for the handlebars and various metal parts. The brown layer looked a little dull, so I cuttlebugged some cute daisies in to give it a little ziparoo!

Crazy4Challenges with Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps
I made more circles with Basic Grey DP (Eskimo Kisses) and the scalloped edge actually sits on the inside of the card with a place to hold the sentiment. I punched some white snowflakes as embellies and inked the edges with the blue ink. The sentiment is from Kraftin' Kimmie's Holiday Sentiment Set.
