The Greeting Farm's Beanie Anya ready for winter. I made this cute tag from a random tag from Michael's. Stamped Anya in Tuxedo Black, colored with Copic's then fussy cut out. The background is sprayed with Ranger's Sail Boat Blue Alcohol ink. Random glitter paper from my stash of paper (seriously-everyone has one of those right?) and the fun extra's are from the new Bundled Up set from Crate Paper. It's pretty gloomy here in Colorado so it was a perfect day to play in the craft room. I guess all that was missing was hot cocoa and Christmas music playing in the background. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Till later. Happy Crafting.</div>

I just LOVE the Stampin Bella Uptown Girls collection. Here is Lucille that I made for Valentine's Day. I have several Uptown Girls in my craft room just waiting to get colored up. I have the new Audrey that I seriously need to get working on. She is so sophisticated.<br />

<br />
Here is another Uptown Girl named Posh. I made this one for my crafting bestie Rachel for her birthday this past January.<br />
<br />
All of my cards are on Copic XPress It paper and stamped with Momento Tuxedo Black ink. Then I whip out my favorite Copic Markers and get coloring. I really struggle with layouts so it is usually hit or miss on how I layout a card. I really need to just follow other layouts that I see. Oh well...I better get back into my craft room and play. Happy Crafting.<br />

February where did you come from? It's that time again to try my hand at a few challenges. I created this Some Odd Girl "Love me not Mae" for the SOG February Challenge and for the Anything Goes with Favorite Color Combo Oozak challenge. I stamped her with Momento Tuxedo Black ink, colored her with my trusty Copic Markers and used "With Love" 6x6 paper pad from American Crafts. I think I got it from Target. I am hoping to get a few Valentine cards posted soon too, but I guess I better get to finishing them first. :) Happy Crafting.</div>

Wow! It's almost the end of January already. Where did the time go? I have had so many birthday cards to make from the end of December to January that I have not blogged them yet. So be looking for them in the very near future. But today I wanted to get my Some Odd Girl January 2013 challenge posted. The inspiration design is above and my take on it is below. I used Baker Mae and the paper pad is from American Crafts Hip Hip Hooray paper pad. I think I bought it at Target. She is colored with Copic's of coarse and she also has a few liquid pearls on her cupcake. Until later. Happy Crafting.<br />

Here is my take on the Kraftin Kimmie Feelin' Festive Challenge 156. I made this card for my mom to give to a friend for the holidays. I got my Christmas present early from her this year. It was several of the Moonlight Whispers stamps from Kraftin Kimmie. I got them early with the stipulation that I had to make her several cards with them first. Well...one down and a few more to go I guess you could say. I am planning on crafting all weekend to get her cards made and then maybe make a few for myself to give away at Christmas time. The stamp I decided to start with is Grace. She is so festive baking her gingerbread men. American Crafts "Merry Mint" paper was used along with SU gumball green ribbon, spellbinders dies and SU border punch. I better get back to my card making before the kids get up. Happy crafting friends.</div>

Cheeky Kitty from the Greeting Farm is one of my favorite digi's they have. Last year I made her into Poison Ivy from Batman. Sadly I guess I had a little orange ink on my hand and it ended up on her face but I could not trash her. Just think of it as part of her costume. </div>

Speaking of Something Wicked This Way Comes...have you ever seen that movie? It scared the crap out of me as a kid. It was made by Disney back in 1983. The thing I remember most was the scary carnival and it's creepy carousel. It was evidently one of Ray Bradbury's masterminds. No wonder I was scared. I actually own a copy of it because I wanted to watch it again as an adult and see if it really was as scary as I thought. I should probably watch it in the daylight when the kids are at school...</div>

I received my Some Odd Girl stamp Sunny Mae the other day and I just had to ink her up. I love this image. She is so summery. I ended up making 2 cards. I messed up on the 1st face and you know how everything else is just perfect and you think I will just add a few freckles...well that did not go to good and when I tried to remove them they smeared her touched up eyes. Darn it! Onto the next one. I actually like her better anyway. I did case a few of the SOG design teams ideas and meshed them all together and this is what I came up with. Enjoy.<br />

Yay!! I am trying to pick at least one challenge to do a week. Then maybe I can work up to a few a week. Here in Colorado it's been in the upper 80's and 90's. I must say I am a wimp when it comes to the heat. I love air-conditioning.<br />

I whipped up this little Greeting Farm sketch challenge card last night. I finally played with my Cheeky Geeky. She is so much fun! <br />
I used Jillibean Soup paper called Blossom Soup in a 6x6 pad, then a little Jillibean sentiment and some doodlebug twine. I colored her with my handy dandy Copic markers and paper pieced the dress.<br />

The end of the school year just flew by. We had 2 birthday's to celebrate here. My daughter turned 9 and my hubby the big "40". I surprised them both by having his parents come out to surprise them. Needless to say I got them both good.<br />
<br />
My challenge I am doing today is from Saturated Canary. I just love their digi images. Check them out here <a href="http://saturatedcanary.blogspot.com/">http://saturatedcanary.blogspot.com</a> My crafting partner in crime Rachel got me hooked.<br />
<br />
The digi I choose to do is called Hipster. She is so my daughter. Originally I had planned on making this into my daughter's birthday card. Instead it turned into a bookmark for all of her summer reading.<br />
<br />
Now that school is out I am really hoping that I can play in my craft room more and get going on more challenges. Until later Happy Summer and Happy Crafting.<br />

This is SC Hipster. She is colored in Copic markers. The flower stickers are a hodge podge of a pile I found in my craft room. I laminated her with 3M self laminating 4x6 photo thing I had. I figured she would last longer laminated than not.

I recently had some "Happy Mail" delivered and low and behold I had some fun new Kraftin Kimmie's to try. I have the "Going Places" set too. I think that will be next on my list. I better get my room back together soon. It looks as though a twister came in and messed it all up again. I really wish I could just snap my fingers and everything would just go back into its place. I stamped "Dandy Lion"on a random white tag and played around with my Tim Holtz inks last night. I made quite the mess. Dandy was also Sparkly Fluffed with the color "sugar", around her hair and dress as well as the dandy lion. The saying came from a stamp at Hobby Lobby. I just love that saying.

I just love Tiddly Inks. Christy Croll (the owner and creator of everything Tiddly (I borrowed that line.) is having her birthday bash and celebration coming in April. Be sure to check out the Tiddly Inks web site and challenge blog. I will practice how to add the link here in a bit. If that won't work I will have to contact my IT department (hey Rachel, I may be calling you later.) Have a great rest of the week and I'm going to enjoy the last few days of Spring Break.<br />

I volunteered to be on my children's PTO (Parent Teacher Organization) this year. Somehow I am the vice president. At least we have a wonderful core group of ladies that have been helping, but it still takes a lot of time away from my crafting. We are starting to organize our 1st carnival for the school in a long time so I hope I will be able to sneak a card in here and there. I applaud all of the past and present PTO/PTA parents. Hats off to you and all you do for your kids school.<br />
<br />
Now with that being said here is my 1st Valentine card of the season. I'm sure you all will recognize<br />
"Silver Valentine" from Tiddly Inks digitals. He is so cute. Wryn is on my list of what to next so hopefully soon I will post a card with her. She is so cute too. Until later. Happy Crafting.<br />

Thanksgiving, Christmas and birthdays all seemed to fall together and I did not get much crafting done. Here are some of my cards that I did last year. Most of them are from Kraftin Kimmie along with some Greeting Farm. You might notice a cake in the mix too. My son's birthday is 3 days after Christmas and this year he wanted a Pirate themed cake. Since I only had 2 days notice on what he wanted this is the skull and cross bones cake he got. And yes I actually made it. It's not a cake pan. It was delicious if I do say so myself. Thanks for looking at my blog. One of my resolutions this year is to blog more...maybe once a week?.

Needless to say after the kids went to school I started to get crafty. I have actually had Daisy colored for awhile now but did not know how I wanted to do the layout. A few hours and a big mess later, this is how she turned out. I worked on Oliver today. Same thing, he was colored just not on a card. I wish I could decide layouts so much faster. Any tips would be greatly appreciated. I even had the Christmas tunes on for inspiration. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

My problem is what to do with them next. I have the hardest time coming up with what to do with an image and how to lay it out. Any ideas would be welcome. My Cheeky girl today took me all afternoon of cutting and shaking my head no to what I wanted to do with her and how to lay her out. Ugh! Oh well. I hope you enjoy her.Kim Swensonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02479921916910619222noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8869013942689883920.post-5195025925275980552011-10-22T17:10:00.000-06:002011-10-22T17:10:56.844-06:00TGF Cheeky ShooterHappy Saturday! Here is my latest creation Cheeky Shooter from The Greeting Farm. She is so much fun to color and is one of my favorites. This card is going to my dad as a belated birthday card. I hope he likes it. She is colored with Copics and I used Fun Flock in white for a fuzzy cowgirl hat.<div><br />

Here goes. My first official post on my blog. That just sounds weird. Lets start at the beginning. I got into stamping about 9 years ago all pre-kid. It started out very small and I took a few classes and then I was hooked. Now a few years later and a few dollars later ( really? who are we all kidding? :) I have a wonderful craft room that is finally organized! A HUGE Thank You goes out to my dear friend Rachel who really creatively encouraged me to get rid of or donate things that really did not belong in my craft room. Here are some photo's.</span><br />
