I was in the mood for shopping Bea! I thought she was too cute:-)

I colored her with Copic markers, I didn't go wild with glitter today:-( I wasn't feeling glittery:-)
I added Stampin up line of paper and ribbon, and used one of my Martha Stewart punches and left it at that as I didn't want to take away from my image:-)

Hi Everyone!

I'm super excited that today at Inky Impressions, it's my turn to host it and I picked the theme to be...... Yup Use dies or punches on your creation! I love all my dies and punches and feel like I need to use them more, I'm sure there are alot of you that are just like me and you have quite a few to use! So get them out and have fun:-) The other design teamies have done an awesome job with the challenge this week! The prize will be a digi image :-)

I used Delilah's Ducky Christmas from Inky Impressions

Autumn is in the Air...

Hi Everyone:-)

It's Friday ? and I don't really know where my week went? But I will be glad for the break... the sickie bug has hit our house and I would like it to leave Now!

On to fun stuff:-) Crafts 4 Eternity has a new challenge today, and it is a theme...Autumn colors and theme:-) Our Sponsor is Pink Gem Designs and the prize will be a choice of 4 digis !

My image is one I've had from last year and it's from Plum Purdy Designs, by Reinee Mullins. I was a bit unhappy that my little crow stamped a little see through, But I know if I had tried to use the copic marker over him you would see it and I didn't think it would look right.
So Here is my card today a little bit simple but I didn't want too much around the image as it is smaller then most of my images:-) This little card will be saved for me to hang in my mom's room at the nursing home, since "simple" is what's easier for her to enjoy right now.

Supplies used:

Design Paper: Paper Trey Ink

Ribbon & Circle punches : Stampin Up

Image: Plum Purdy designs

Copic markers used, I will add them later,

Have a great weekend, Thank you so much for stopping for a visit:-)
