Maya & Kitty Drinking Hot Tea...

How about another Maya image.

Maya & Kitty Drinking Hot Tea.

Aren't they adorable!

Just one more Maya to go.

I love that Frostyville Wreath, but it's a pain to cut out.

It kept getting stuck on the cutting mat.

Tip: Wax Paper 

I'll try and remember to do a quick how to video on that after I finish the Christmas card kits.

Thanks for stopping in.

Have a fabulous day!

Maya & Kitty Sledging...

This is one of three Maya card kits.

Maya & Kitty Sledging
Two more Maya's to go.
The other two are super cute too!

I'm really happy with how this one turned out.

It doesn't have traditional colors, but looks awesome.

If I do say so myself.

Although I didn't love cutting out all those doilies.

I love the doilies, but having to punch out all those little bits from the die is a pain.

The beautiful paper is Bo Bunny - Snow Day.

I used the new Tim Holtz Distress Stickles Dry Glitter - Clear Rock Candy for the snow.

It turned out pretty awesome.

I love how it's got different size bits.

Have a wonderful day!

Ben in the Rain..

Happy Wednesday everybody. Hope your all having a fabulous day. We are drowning in rain today. YUCK! It's coming down in buckets full. I'm not outside enjoying it quite this much. Little to damp for me. But doesn't this cute Whiff of Joy image Ben in the Rain look like he's having fun? I added some Ranger Glossy Accents to the puddles & rain drops to make them shiny. Looks pretty cool.

I dug out all my H2O's now I need to get me some cutting boards so I can organize them like Katharina has done in her post HERE. They are a pain to figure out which one you want when they are all thrown in a bucket. Organizing will help I'm sure. Then I will actually use them. They look really pretty when applied.

I have colored my image with Ranger Distressing Inks: Tattered Rose, Tea Dye, Vintage Photo, Faded Jeans, Tumbled Glass, Black Soot, Fired Brick, Shabby Shutters, Forest Moss, Wild Honey, Aged Mahogany on Canson 140lb water color paper.

Thanks for stopping by. Hope you have a great day!!

Nora..

Happy Monday everybody. This Nora with Raincoat another Whiff of Joy image by Alison Acton. I think these are just adorable. I've always loved her stuff, but just haven't pick up any in a long time. You know how it with so many different lines to pick from you have to change it up every once in a while.

The paper I pulled out of the kit drawer and can't find a name on it. I must have thrown that part away the last time I used it. The clouds are a My Favorite Things die-namics die called Cloud Trio. The saying I found over at Create with TLC. I think she's really cute. I need to break out my H2O's to color her next time. I haven't had those out in a long time.

I have again colored her with Ranger Distressing Inks: Tea Dye, Tattered Rose, Stormy Sky, Frayed Burlap, Walnut Stain, Scattered Straw, Fired Brick, Black Soot, Tumbled Glass, Faded Jeans & Weathered Wood.

Thanks for stopping by, see you tomorrow for the new Sassy Cherly Challenge.. Have a great day!

Skater Ben..

Hey everyone. Hope your having a great weekend. Look what I picked up over at Whiff of Joy, Skater Ben. Isn't he great? I love the cartoon look of these new images. So cute. The flowers are the new Die-namics Upsy Daisy die By My Favorite Things. It even embosses the leaves and flower centers. Love it. I'm going to have to get another one though so I can cut out twice as many in one time. :o) I sprayed the whole card with shimmers. It's really sparkly.

I have colored him with Ranger Distressing Inks: Tea Dye, Tattered Rose, Faded Jeans, Pumice Stone, Black Soot, Walnut Stain, Forest Moss, Bundled Sage, Shabby Shutters & Tumbled Glass. I made the clouds in the back ground with a template I free handed then cut out.

See you tomorrow with Nora with Raincoat another Whiff of Joy Image. Thanks for stopping by. Have a fabulous day!!
