Love You Bunches

Hi there!  It’s the first of the month, and that means it’s time for Sweet November’s latest digital stamp release at 7 Kids Crafts!  The beautiful Summer Garden Collection includes four lovely garden beauties:  Rose, Dahlia, Peony, and Gerbera Daisy.  I chose to color Peony Fae, as it happens to be my favorite flower.  And isn’t she just the most beautiful creature?  I added the extra peonies, buds, and mushrooms also available in this release.  I know I’ve stated this in prior posts, but working with digital stamps truly opens up all kinds of options for scene building.  I love her dreamy expression as she sits on that soft, billowy mushroom with her favored blossoms surrounding her.
You’ll want to be sure and join the 2 day release party in the 7 Kids Customers Create Facebook Group.  Amy Young will be offering live tutorials that you won’t want to miss, and there will be games and prizes as well!
As always, I want to thank you for visiting my blog.  Hope you get a chance to enjoy this new release, my friends!

Wishing You a Magical Day

Hi there!  Today’s guests of honor are Sweet November’s Sparkle Moondrifter, Skater & Ray.  In my years of crafting, I’ve never had more fun coloring than with these beautiful mermaids from the latest SN release at 7 Kids.  Their hair, eyes, and sweet friends are a crafter’s dream to create with!  All the postings I’ve seen of these beauties have been gorgeous.  Needless to say, I’m going to color them all!  I hope you’ve been able to get crafty with them as well.  And thank you for stopping by.  Enjoy your week!

Sending You Sunshine

Good day to you!  My project today was definitely a learning experience!  7 Kids had their monthly Sweet November  digital release called Surfacing.  Four beautiful and unique mermaids to choose from, as well as lovely scene builders.  I really enjoy the versatility that digital images afford when I’m in the planning stages of creating my scene.  Too much fun!
To introduce her release, Amy Young does two days of live coloring in the 7 Kids Facebook Group.  If you’ve not been able to join in, I would encourage you to do so.  Amy’s a great teacher, and so generous with her knowledge.  Yesterday I made time to color along with her during her live, and it was the first time I attempted coloring dark skin.  It was challenging, but I’m determined to keep practicing!  I hope you enjoy my attempt at coloring Nixie, and be sure to check out the other gorgeous beauties at 7 Kids!

Hello Isla Tidecaller

Greetings!  My post this morning is from the 7 Kids Sweet November April release.  Just a beautiful selection of earth, land, and sea creations.  I’ve selected to color Isla Tidecaller in all her beauty, adjusting a lovely Lotus flower in her hair.  This image was so rewarding to create with.  I cannot wait to get to coloring with the other fabulous images in this release.  Be sure to check out the fun going on in Sweet November Land at 7 Kids!  And thank you for stopping by!

Hello Sweet Friend

Happy Weekend to you!  I have a quick post for you today.  I’ve colored up two Bunny Babies from Sweet November.  Each month 7 Kids opens up the Sweet November  Vault, which offers archived images that have been altered to digital format.  These little cuties are perfect for Easter, and color up so cute.  They are available until March 22nd, so you better hurry and nab them before the vault closes!  Thanks for your visit!

Hello Sweet Friend

It’s that time again at 7 Kids!  So hard to believe how fast a month goes by, but I’m excited about Sweet November’s March release!  These darling little Brownies interact beautifully, and the scene builders lend to creating with great success and satisfaction.  Today I chose to color Marigold and Bramwell, sweet friends having a lovely time.  The Brownie’s home, and flower spray are also a part of the March release.  I really had fun putting this together, and can’t wait to build more scenes with all the options offered in this set of images!  I hope you enjoy, and are able to check out the fun at 7 Kids!

Love You

Greetings!  I’m up today at 7 Kids Crafts, and am excited to share “By Your Side” .  This lovely digital image is created by Sweet November  and is part of the latest release at 7 Kids.  I knew as soon as I laid eyes on this image that it would be perfect for my husband.  Such a sweet scene, and a joy to create with.  I did the sky prior to coloring the lovebirds.  It was a hot mess for a minute as it crept into the image.  But in the end, I was pleased with the continuity of the horizon.  It was light enough that it didn’t impact the finished design.  I hope you enjoy, and I also hope it is a Valentine that makes my husband feel loved! ♥️

Miles Apart

Hello!  I’m having so much fun coloring these lovely Gorjuss Girls.  They are being featured by 7 Kids with 20% off as their monthly vendor for January.  As part of the celebration, Amy Young did a live tutorial on the 7 Kids Facebook group page.  It was awesome!  I colored along with her, and this card is the result.  You can find this Gorjuss Fly Away With Me at the 7 Kids Crafts Store.  The stamp is much larger, as I reduced her size by photo copying at 60%.  They are such beautiful, quality stamps!  I think you’d love them!
So, my friends, that’s all I have for you today.  I very much appreciate your visit! ♥️

Making Spirits Bright

Good Morning! 7Kids has just released a lovely set of snowmen by Sweet November. If you love snowmen as much as I do, you will fall in love with these darling ice critters! There are four to choose from, and today I colored up Melton. I saw a sheet of Christmas craft paper using pink and black, loved it, and couldn't resist. So, we'll be calling my little creation Mrs. Melton. Love the little bunny all snugged in her scarf, contemplating the deliciousness of that carrot nose! 'Tis the giving season! A fun card to color, and I can't wait to get going on the others... Snowdin, Freezia, and Mr. McFlurry! Thanks for your visit!

Brightening My Day

We had a significant storm the other day.  Rain like I've never seen or heard before!  So when it came time to get crafty, I thought of little Miss Puddle Jumper, who is a part of the Roberto's Rascals collection from CC Designs.  I've been wanting to get her on a card for the longest time!  My attempt was to make this "rainy day" card as bright as possible, which isn't too difficult with these cheerful characters.  I also applied a bit of Glossy Accents on the puddle, and on her hat.  And, of course, a CAS layout.  In the end, she made me smile.  Yay!  That's it for today... have a good rest of your weekend!

Bloom Where You're Planted

This little Pixie from C.C. Designs is such a cutey sittin' in that flower pot; I just couldn't resist coloring her up! I created a simple background with Tim Holtz distressed ink, and applied water to add interest.  It was also a great opportunity to utilize a coloring tutorial by Debra James.  Just love how beautifully she created the look of copper - and thought it would be fun to apply on the little pot in this image. This was a fun card, with a CAS layout - hope you enjoy! And, as always, thank you for stopping by!

You're Pretty Much My Most

There's a new Farm Fresh Challenge, "H20 Love", on The Greeting Farm's Blog. So I chose Chibi Diver for my water themed card today, and was she (and her friend) ever fun to color! I also got my distressed inks out to create the water and sand in the background, and threw a few Pretty Pink Posh water droplets to add sparkle. I was also pleased to find the perfect scenario to use this sentiment from Honey Bee Stamps. Overall, I was pleased with the results! Thanks for stopping by, and have a fantastic day!!

Warm Thoughts

I fell in love with this image of Mae as soon as I saw her. She is a digital stamp from Some Odd Girl, titled Ribbons. I enjoy playing with eye makeup, so it was fun coloring her eyes... maybe went a little too glam? Overall, I was pleased with the results - always a learning experience!
