Try It Out Tuesday - Sketch and birthday card

What is it about cheerleaders that make you either love them or hate them? I adore them and this cutie, Cheerleader Julia from Anki's Sweethearts 2 Collection from Susana's Custom Art and Card Design just makes me smile! Birthday cards should make you smile so I thought these two would be a perfect combination for our Design Team Challenge this week for our sketch and challenge from our fearless leader, Suzanne Dean!

I colored this cutie with my copics and highlighted her sweet pom poms with some Smooch and Sparkly Fluff. I love this saying from Susanaments! Aren't they just the greatest?! The paper is from the Euphoria collection from BasicGrey which is my favorite paper and the buttons are from my stash. I added some Scrapper's Floss and Bella Baubles and think she's just perfect to make someone a cheerful birthday card!

Don't forget to stop over at the store blog, Follow Your Heart, and catch up on the latest news for our new release of Elisabeth Bell for Susana's Custom Art and Card Design (SCACD). We're going to have a blog hop on Thursday and these new sweeties are going to be available for purchase on Friday, July 17th! I can hardly wait!

Hope everyone has a "cheerful" day!

Victoria, My Strawberry Queen

The day is finally here when everyone can take advantage of picking up these adorable Anki's Sweethearts 2 for Susana's Custom Art and Card Design (SCACD)! I just know you're going to love stamping and coloring these sweeties as much as our Design Team has these last couple of days. And don't forget this great collection of Susanaments! They're just perfect for every occasion and match these stamps so beautifully. They're available now so make sure you stop over at Susana's and pick them up! And Anki, thanks so much for all the fun I've had so far with these babies! I adore them!

I'd love to introduce you to Victoria, my Strawberry Queen! Isn't she just the cutest little thing? I think every little girl at one time or another dreams of being a queen of something. When I saw this sweet face, I just knew how I wanted to do her. I wanted her to stand out on her own and not be too fussy. I remembered this stack I had in my stash called Grandma's Garden (I think. The top came off so I got it at a discount a couple of months ago!), I knew it would be perfect for her. I colored her with distressed inks and added some Smooch and stickles to accent her dress and her staff and her crown. I used a couple of cuttlebug folders to give her some dimension and I had to use some Kaisercraft Pearls. You can't be a princess without jewels and pearls! And I love this Susanament. I think it's a perfect reminder to us all to chase our dreams. If you never go after them, you have no idea what you're missing!

I hope you stop by my fellow Design Team members and see their beautiful creations with these adorable stamps.

Anki's Sweethearts 2 - Sneak Peek and Blog Candy!

I'm playing catch up with my Design Team projects for Susana's Custom Art and Card Design and having so much fun in presenting our very own Anki's Sweethears 2! I'd love to introduce you to Emilia who is inviting you on a yummy, fun filled picnic and Fluffy, who is here to welcome a new little one into our world! These new stamps are just too adorable and versatile and I just taken with them all! These sweeties, along with the rest of the collection and for a real treat, another set of Susanaments! These are such great sayings that go along with just about any occasios.

Emilia is colored with copics and has Flower Soft all over her! I love the yellow daisies she's carrying and the gorgeous lush purple flowers in her hair. And don't you love her basket? I added a bit of Glossy Accents to the bottle to make it shine and some Smooch on her dress and her shoes. Isn't this Susanament perfect for any party invite? Love it! I used this weeks Splitcoaststampers sketch and I think she's perfect of it! And I love my Retro paper from Dovecraft, also an exclusive for Susana's store!



Don't you just want to scoop up Fluffy and take this sweetie home? I colored this baby with distressed inks and this sweet paper is from the Baby pack from Dovecroft. I put some Velvet Flock from Doodlebug in the center for a bit of dimension and a bit of glossy accents on the pad of this sweetie's feet. Add a couple of Bella Baubles and some beautiful ribbon and it's done! And another great sentiment from Susana makes it perfect! Simple and just so sweet!
