Welcome to the 7 KIDS Valentine Hop!  Are you ready for hearts and flowers?  Oh, and don't forget love!  Thanks so much for joining us.   

I used the sweet Sympathy Bugs by Sylvia Zet for Whimsy Stamps.  I always thought "get well card" or something along those lines when I looked at this stamp but then a friend suggested these adorable little buggies would make the cutest Valentine card!  Of course I've used my copics and colored pencils to color the stamp and I added lots of sparkle too.  You always need sparkle on a Valentine's card, right?

Wyanet

( ** Please scroll down for the SugarPea Designs Blog Hop ** )

Hello and happy Thursday!  Today I'm sharing a card I made for the 7 Kids College Fund Blog. 

This card features Wyanet by Sylvia Zet for Whimsy Stamps.  I colored the image with copics and colored pencils and added some punched flowers with pearls.  I used Glamour Dust on the butterflies.  Since I'm not sure who I'll be sending this card to I'm waiting to add the sentiment to fit the occasion.

Guest Designer at Color Me Creative Classroom Challenge

Happy Saturday to all of you!  I was invited to be a Guest Designer over on the CMC Copic Challenge Group and their theme for this challenge is anything "Holiday themed".

I chose to use one of Sylvia's newer releases Winter Friends.  I love Sylvia's designs and knew I wanted to use this one for a Christmas card.  I colored the image with copics and colored pencils and used Glamour Dust and a pearl pen for some sparkle.  The sentiment is from an older Papertrey Ink stamp set - it's one of my favorite Christmas sentiment sets.  Be sure to stop by the CMC Copic Challenge to find all the details on their challenge!  

Thank you so much for stopping by.  I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

Happy Thursday everyone and Happy Thanksgiving to those of you that celebrate this holiday!  Although it's Thanksgiving, I'm actually sharing a Christmas card today.

I have another Sylvia Zet image today - I love her adorable and whimsical images :)  This cutie is Christmas Bunny and of course I've used my copics and colored pencils to color it.  I used Liquid Applique on his tail and then added lots of Glamour Dust and pearl dots for some sparkle.  The sentiment tag is from the Christmas Labels Clear Stamps by Wild Rose Studio.  I added a poinsettia cut with my Spellbinders Poinsettia die, a sheer bow, and some pearls.

Holly

I have had this sweet digi image printed and patiently sitting on my desk forever and I finally decided it was time to give her some pretty colors :)

This sweet fairy is Holly and she's one of Sylvia Zet's adorable images that you can find in her Wee Stamps Store.  If you're not familiar with Sylvia's images, be sure to visit her shop ... I promise you won't be disappointed :)  Anyway, I colored this cutie with copics and colored pencils and used lots of Glamour Dust on her earmuffs, the snowflake, and the snow on the branch.  I applied some Glossy Accents to the berries and jinglebell, and then added Liquid Pearl dots all around the image.  I've added pearls to the centers of the snowflakes and then added some ribbon with a bow.  I'm so glad I finally found some time to color this sweet little image!

Thank you so much for stopping by.  I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

Just For You

Happy Thursday to all of you!  I hope you're having a fabulous week so far.  I've been crazy busy this week and the days have just flown by ... only one more till the weekend ;-)

Sylvia Zet released her Naughty Puppies images this week and of course I had to purchase them ... I mean, have you seen how CUTE these little doggies are?  I colored my image with copics and colored pencils and used some Glossy Accents on the mailbox flag, the puppy's nose, and the pawprints in the sentiment.  I also added some Liquid Pearls and a bow.  A very clean and simple card because I wanted the focus to be on the adorable image.  There are three more images included in the set and I hope to find time to color those soon.  

Thank you so much for stopping by!

Birthday Moments To Cherish

Good morning friends!  I have another one of Sylvia Zet's beautiful images to share with you today.

This adorable image is called Peggy ... isn't she just the cutest?  I colored her with copics and colored pencils and then added Liquid Pearls around the image and in the center of the flowers.  I added a diecut flourish by Cheery Lynn Designs and some flowers with pearls.  I also added a bow with a large pearl brad and a sentiment by Whimsy Stamps.  You can find the digi stamp in Sylvia's shop here and the rubber stamp is available in the Whimsy shop here.  And of course you can always visit Sylvia's blog for tons of inspiration!

Love You Slow Much

Happy Thursday friends!  I have another beautiful Sylvia Zet image to share with you today.

This adorable image is Love You Slow Much.  That's right ... Sylvia has delighted us with a new beautiful Peggy image!  And this time Peggy has a sweet and huggable snail friend.  I know snails aren't usually something you would call sweet but this one is ... I love his little bowtie.  I colored these friends with copics and colored pencils and added Glamour Dust to her wings.  I used some Glossy Accents on the snail's nose and added some Liquid Pearl dots around the image.  The digital image is available in Sylvia's shop here and you can find the rubber stamp here.  Be sure to stop by Sylvia Zet's Blog to see what Mariska and the other guest designers are sharing today.

Thank you so much for stopping by!

Hello friends!  As you may recall, I am one of the guest designers for Wee Stamps this month and I'm here to share one of Sylvia Zet's gorgeous new images. 

This cutie patootie is Birthday Baby Boy and don't you just love his sweet little face?  And those cute little pj's he's wearing?  And that little mouse friend of his?  OK, so can you tell I love this new image lol?  I colored him with copics and colored pencils and used some Glamour Dust on the cake frosting.  I also added some Liquid Pearls around the image.  I tried to keep my embellishments fairly simple so that the focus would be on the gorgeous image.  This image is available here as a digital image, here as a rubber stamp, and here as a topper.  Be sure to visit Sylvia Zet's Blog to see what the other guest designers created ... I know you will be inspired!

Thank you so much for stopping by!  Have a wonderful day!

Some Exciting News!

Hello and happy Friday sweet friends!  Today I have some exciting news to share.

I am one of the Wee Stamps Guest Designers for the month of March!  I absolutely adore Sylvia's cute and whimsical designs and I can't wait to share my projects with you.  You can stop by Sylvia Zet's Blog to read about the other March Guest Designers and you can find her sweet Wee Stamps digi designs here.

Thank you for stopping by.  I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

Hugs, Anita
 

Amy's Kitty

Good morning friends.  I have a card with one of Sylvia Zet's digi images called Amy's Kitty.  I love Sylvia's images and this kitty has the sweetest look on her face ;) 

I've colored this image with copics and colored pencils.  Then I painted Creative Inspirations Paints on the balloons.  These paints give a pearlescent shimmer and they don't smear digis.  I always had to be really careful when applying Stickles because they would really smear the black ink from my printer, but that's not a problem with these paints.  I also applied the paints to the butterflies and the flowers in the image.  Some ribbon, a bow, and pearls finished my card. 

Here's a close-up so that you can see the sparkle the paint adds to the image.  You may want to stop by the Creative Inspirations Paint Blog to check out our latest challenge - the inspiration theme is rainbows/rainbow colors.  You can find all the details over on the blog.

Thanks for stopping by.  Have a wonderful day!

I'm a Guest Sweet Sunday Stamper!

Good morning friends.  Today I'm a guest over on the Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge.  I have been a big fan of Karen's challenges for the longest time and a few weeks ago I finally was able to play along in their sketch challenge.  Well, I received an email from Karen asking if I would like to be the very first Guest Sweet Sunday Stamper.  I was so excited and of course I jumped at the chance to play along with this team of talented ladies!  So here's my card for the Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge SSSC151.

I used this adorable little Heidi from Sylvia Zet's Wee Digi Stamps.  I colored this cutie with copics and colored pencils and added some Glamour Dust to her outfit, the falling snow, and the ground.  I added some snowflakes and pearls to finish off my card.  I hope you like it.  

Here's the sketch and you can find all the challenge details over on Karen's blog.  Be sure to stop by all the Sweet Sunday Stamper's blogs to see what they've made with this week's sketch.
