You are Such a Hoot

Sami Stamps has another fantastic release, "Halloween Hoots" - and a challenge as well, for the month of October. I chose to color "Pumpkin Hoot", and really had fun putting it together. I started out masking the image, and layering distressed ink. For texture, I added a splattering of Picket Fence; I also used my stipple brush over the background as a final touch.  This owl makes quite a presentation in this image, so I decided to color him up big - and was pleased with the results!   This month's challenge is to add texture to your creation - ribbons, fabric, paint - any kind of texture to add interest. You'll find these images to be a lot of fun, so be sure to check out the rest of the design team's fabulous cards at Sami's Shop! Thank you for stopping by, and have yourself a great weekend!

Sending Big Hugs

October is Breast Cancer Awareness month. Many of us have lost dear ones in our lives due to this terrible disease, and have hope in our hearts that there will soon be a better understanding of its cause, prevention, and most importantly, cure. Right now, the most effective prevention is mammography - and this is my loving reminder to schedule yours!  The image I chose for today is "Another Beautiful Day".  She is dressed in orange, in honor of my friend who was taken by the disease - it was a warm, comforting, color to her.  She wrapped herself up in orange everything, and lived every minute she had with love in her heart! 
Sami Stamps Design Team has created a Think Pink Showcase as their contribution to bringing awareness to this cause. Be sure to check out their beautiful designs!  And thank you for stopping by - have a great weekend!

Let Us Adore Him

Sami Stamps has a new release, "Noble Little King".  Beautiful images that you can put together to create a lovely nativity scene. It's hard to believe we're approaching that time of year - and it just seems to arrive even earlier in the crafty world! But, "Joseph" and "Little King" were so enjoyable to color and design into a card. You'll also want to check out the rest of the Design Team's inspiring creations on Sami's blog!
