Gorgeous Eloise in Rich Color

MarchCraftiness 023

 

Sorry for being MIA for the past few days.. I was working to finish the 275 Thank You notes and 30 tins I am completing for my cousin and his family. Boy oh Boy am I tired!!! Here's one of my favorite Elosie images.. I LOVE these colors.. She's colored with copics and stickles on her wings.. The bling and pearls are my favorite part..

Rainy Day Thoughts

MarchCraftiness 010

While I am a frequent user of the pink and brown combo I decided to branch out and try out the blue and brown thing. Not bad for a first attempt IMO.. I LOVE this set.  A stamping pal of mine (Dawn)sent me some of these images and I fell in love with her.. She's great and since she's faceless you can use her for almost any sentiment.

Pinky Stripped Eloise

MarchCraftiness 024

Sorry for the crooked photo. But isn't she lovely??? I just adore her as you have heard me say time and time again. I also return to this pink and brown color combo frequently. The cotton candy stickles on the flower and her wings is new though. Although if you frequent my blog you know how much I LOVE the bling...

Who can resist a cute pair of shoes????

MarchCraftiness 027

Not me!!! Although I might forgo them for a great set of stamps.. HA! I LOVE these cute shoes.. I again left this card without a sentiment so I could tailor it as needed. I should say that I keep a ton of sentiments punched or die cut or trimmed in several little cases in my desk so that I can tailor my cards quickly.. The card specs are below...

Riley's make me smile..  There's something about them that tickles me. I love their sweet little faces. I think sending a Riley or Sophia is like sending a little sunshine in the mail..

Bella Blast!!

CardsJanuary 005

Bellas are a blast aren't they? This one's summery in her gorgeous bright colors. Billboardabella is probably one of the MOST versatile bellas out there. I like to make up a bunch of cards leaving the billboard blank and filling in with a sentiment when I need a card.

Riley Flying by...

CardsJanuary 003

Another Riley Flying by with his sentiment banner empty.. I never know when I'll need a card so I like to keep an assortment of cards sentiment ready on hand ready to give on any occasion. In my ongoing quest to accumulate more masculine cards I have tried experimenting with different colors and no bling this is another attempt at that.. I think this is a perfect example of how to make a cute card without breaking the bank.

Bella Wishes

CardsJanuary 002

Here she is back again for a repeat performance and once again missing her sentiment.. It's all about building my stash right now.  Summer is always busy for us birthday wise and this year I want to be prepared. So I am ramping up card production in between my preparations for my oldest son's graduation and our God Daughter's first birthday and christening.

Purple Thoughts..

CardsJanuary 012

I LOVE Eloise. If your a  regular here you know that she is one of my favorite Bella purchases. I stamp many of her when I am replenishing my image supply. She is also great to practice shading techniques with.. If your learning your way around your copics she has lots of large areas for you to practice in.  Hope you like her as much as I do.

Bella's Happy Thoughts

Bella7

This versatile Bella can be used for so many different cards. If you own Papertrey's mixed messages (the original one not the newest version) you can make her billboard say just about anything! Change her background, and color scheme and she could represent almost anything.

PJ Riley's Well Wishes

PJ Riley3

PJ Riley is ADORABLE! Who can resist this sweet little Riley with the so stinkin' cute bunny slippers. I used this Riley to create this little get well card because most of us spend our sick days in our most comfortable PJ's. We used to have PJ day when the boys were little every once and a while and they LOVED it. There just something about PJ's that comfort. Anywho.. on to the card specs..

Hippy Wishes..

Melanie

Melanie Muenchinger's Just So Hippy stamp set has THE most adorable animals in it. I think that the thing that makes Melanie's character's come to life are their absolutely GORGEOUS eyelashes. These little guys are so cute they don't require much embellishing. I colored him in matted him up and added a few dew drops and a sentiment to create this card. The specs follow below.

Right Month?

Bella4

More often than not I have a birthday or two that I've missed over the months and it's always handy to have these little gems in my stash. I try to stay on top of the birthday's in our families and circle of friends but some months are so hectic I don't always succeed so I always want them to know even if it's a little late that we love and cherish them.
