The LAST Mystery Monday:(

It's a sad day for me today, my last cards for the Club Anya & Friends team! Club Anya & Friends is going away and in it's place will be something HUGE and EXCITING so make sure to check out the TGF Blog for details!

Today, we're CASE'ing this awesome card from Joni--

I love her black and white coloring but I'm no where NEAR brave enough to try that, lol! Here's my card, I stuck with her awesome layout--

Oh, hey! Her HAIR is black, yeah! LOL! This is Twirl Anya who was release last month. I really love her and her short, sassy 'do! I stamped her on some Copic X-press cardstock in Tuxedo Black and colored her in with Copics. The patterned paper is from BG's Hello Lucious (love this stuff!) and the sweet tag is a die and stamp set from PTI.

Okay, I totally slacked and forgot to post my Saturday Sketch card on my blog, so I'll go ahead and do that now and then we'll just pretend it's been here all along, it'll be our secret;)

That's Hat's Off Anya (probably my favorite TGF stamp EVAH! I love her!). The paper is from BG's Hello Lucious again (see, told you!) and the sentiment is from Chicks Rule by Verve and was a new release on Friday.  You can see the Saturday Sketch challenge post HERE. Come play with us!

Okay, well that's it from me. I got Apple TV yesterday and am having WAY TOO MUCH FUN watchin' my shows on the big scree, yay!!!

I want to say a HUUUUUUUGE THANK YOU to Marie and Jess for the amazing opportunity, I had a GREAT time and will forever cherish the friendships I made with my fellow DT Members! Speaking of which, hop on over and visit their blogs for their MM post. I'll be seeing you around in the new TGF challenges:)

Mystery Monday featuring Lynda!

Hello! It's Monday, and that means time for another Mystery Monday Challenge over on the Club Anya & Friends Blog! This week is MY turn to be the hostess and I picked this fun card by Lynda Nielson to CASE:

I love the layers and really like the wavy piece behind the main image, but couldn't get mine wavy:( So I just kept that piece straight...here's my card:

I used a new release, Twirl Anya, and some papers from Stella & Rose by MME! I REALLY love these papers, I think they're from Hazel...

Here's a close up of the coloring, I really love her short hair! So summery! I used a sentiment from Flower Fusion #1 from PTI and the ribbon is also from PTI.

She was stamped on Neenah Solar white cardstock in Memento's Tuxedo Black ink. Here are the Copics colors I used to color her up:

Stop on over to my team mates blogs and see what they came up with!

Mystery Monday featuring Sharette!!

Hello! Happy Monday:) Okay maybe some of you aren't happy, I know I could be quite a bit better, but we just have to deal with it, huh? There's nothing like a little stamping therapy to make you feel better:)

It's a Mystery Monday on the CA&F blog and you know what that means! One of the DT girls choose a card they love in the gallery and the rest of us CASE it! If you play along and add your card to the appropriate gallery (see the CA&F blog for details), you could win a free digi single! Today, Anna Maria is our hostess and she chose this beautiful card by Sharette for us to case!

Isn't it a beauty? I love her layering here and the fun ribbon tabs, which I really love as an accent:)

Here's my card using the newly released Cheeky Beach! 

I loved the melon background she had so I decided to break into my Hopscotch papers by Basic Gray! 

The sentiment is from Let it Shine by Verve.

Here's a close up of the coloring in case you wanted a closer look:)

As always, she was stamped on Neenah Solar white cardstock and colored with Copics. Here are the colors I used--

You definitely want to see what the rest of the girls did with this challenge, I can't wait to see them myself! We have such a talented team, I love all my co-DT girls:)

Mystery Monday featuring Pifa!

Good morning! It's MONDAY and that means it's time for Mystery Monday! Peggy, our wonderful guest designer this month, has chosen THIS fabulous card by Pifa!

I just LOVE the shape of this card, but couldn't find a template or tutorial on how to create it, dang! Here's my card using the Cupcake Anya digi stamp!

The card base is Vintage Cream and the cardstock colors are Sweet Blush and Scarlet Jewel (all by PTI). I colored Anya to match the patterned paper by Kaiser Craft called Hippy Chick! Fun polka dots, I love them!

The sentiment is from Swirling Hearts by Verve!

Check out the rest of my team mates blogs, I'm sure there are going to be some FAB projects!

Mystery Monday featuring Lina!

Happy Monday! How 'bout them Packers?? I really couldn't care LESS about football, but I was pulling for the Packers since most of my family is Packer fans! Too bad my brother-in-law and sister-in-law are die hard Steeler fans! I guess we won't be talking to them until the pain isn't so bad, haha!

Today at Club Anya & Friends, we're featuring the WILDLY creative talents of one Lina!! Check out this beauty of hers!

I love how she added those fun banners! I didn't use banners cause it wouldn't have worked with what I was going for...

I used the super sweet Cheeky Cherry Pie! I colored her with Copics to match this awesome paper, called Devonshire by Kaiser Craft!

The sentiment is from an older GinaK set called Sweetest Blessings. I thought it would be PERFECT for this card:)

Make sure you check out my wonderful teammates to see they're versions of Lina's beauty!!

Mystery Monday featuring Claudine!

Hello! It seems like every time I turnaround, I'm writing my MM post, lol!! The weeks are FLYING by! 

For this week's Mystery Monday, we're CASE'ing this beautiful card by Claudine!!

I love the fun layout and cute little ribbon embellishment on the side!

Here's my card using Cheeky Rockabilly!

The cardstock base is Berry Sorbet from PTI, my all time favorite color EVER I'm pretty sure:)

The designer papers are from Basic Gray's "Olivia" line! 

I colored her to match the papers, and since I really think she looks "Marilyn'ish" I colored her hair blonde;)

**Edited to add--I can't believe I forgot to mention who made the sentiment, I'm so sorry! It's an AWESOME new set from MFT, it's called More Essential Sentiments! I love this set because the sentiments are a nice big size:)

Check out my fabulous team mates to see what they've come up with!!

Mystery Monday featuring Tasha!

Hello!!!!!!! Happy Monday! Hopefully everybody is enjoying a THREE day weekend:)

Today is Monday, and as we all know by now, it's MYSTERY MONDAY at Club Anya & Friends.

This week we're featuring Tasha! I found this card of hers in the Galleria and KNEW I wanted to CASE it..

Here's my sample using my favorite in the Creeper Crew, Friday...

I just love her sassy curly hair and she's just one of my favorite images to color:) I stamped her on Neenah Smooth cardstock with Tuxedo Black Memento ink and colored her with Copics to match these beautiful papers from the Sultry line by Basic Gray. The sentiment is from PTI's Say it with Style. The ribbon is also from PTI and I tied the bow with my bow easy. If you look to the right, under my picture, I have a couple tutorials and one of them is how I tie my bows. My bow easy tutorial is there! 

In FACT, I happen to have an EXTRA BRAND NEW BOW EASY and I'll give it away to one commenter! Leave a comment on *this* post by midnight EST on Wednesday the 19th of January for your chance to win the Bow Easy.

Thanks for stopping by today, head on over to the CA&F Blog for challenge details and then stop by all the lovely DT ladies blogs to see their cards too!
