Sketch Saturday, Sisters and a Fairy

One of my favorite sketch challenges to participate in is Sketch Saturday. I went looking for a sketch for one of my images and imagine my surprise when I saw they were looking for some new design team members! They hold a very near and dear place in my heart because I was so honored to be their first Guest Designer! How exciting it would be be back there on a regular basis! Here's the sketch they put out:



Here's my sweet Bildmalarnas, that Summer at Roses on Paper is now carrying:



I love these new sweeties and can't quit coloring them up! This is Tosse Flower and I think this sweetie came out so adorable! I colored this cutie with Prismacolor pencils and OMS, added a bit of Stickles, Glossy Accents and some Kaisercraft Rhinestones and think this baby came out adorable! The paper is from the Lemonade collection from BasicGrey and the ribbon is from my stash.

Thanks for stopping by and taking a look at my card. I'd love the opportunity to work with the ever talented stampers at Sketch Saturday again!



"Sisters, sisters, there were never more devoted sisters..." Isn't this sweet stamp, Sister by Belles N' Whistles, just adorable? Me and my sister are so close, but back in the day we were more into picking on each other than the sweetness of this loving pair! This would be us now though! It's just amazing what you learn with time!

I colored these sweetie girls with copics and used GinaK Luxury paper. I had to use some stickles on their sweet tops and on the big sister's cap. I used some ribbon around the card and added some Prima Flowers with spacers and pearls and some Dew Drops in the corner.



I love Glossy Accents and added some to the ribbons in their gorgeous hair and around their cut tops. Aren't they just precious? And now for a bit from the fairy world!



These fairies from Mo's Digital Pencil are just too vivacious for words! I love the maturity and fullness of these these cuties! She is colored with copics and I added a lot of stickles to her and to the gorgeous Wisteria paper from BasicGrey.



Doesn't she just look like the happiest, most serene pixie? I just love the versitality of Mo's images and have a lot more to share with you!

It feels good to be back to posting on a more regular basis. I've missed sharing with all of you and thanks so much for hanging in there with me during this past summer. It means the world to me!

Just for fun - Because I Need It!

This is going to be a quick post, but I had a couple of cards I wanted to share. I had them completed but just had to add a couple of finishing touches to them. My dear friend, Sheri sent me this Gorgeous Girls image (Thank you my dear! You rock!) and I just love her and how she came out!



And aren't these nuns just the happiest and cutest things ever? My sweet design team sister over at Belles N' Whistles, Rosette, has such a beautiful, serving and joyful heart on her and gives so much to others that I thought about her when I saw this image and you can just feel the joy that comes from the gorgeous cards she does. So my dear Rosette, this Mo's Digital Pencil design is for you!

Now I'm back off to my job at school. Gotta get those kids ready for their classes so I'll see everyone soon!

Sunshine N' Apples for Belles N' Whistles and Fairy 2 by Mo's Digital Pencil

Isn't this cutie just adorable? She's called Sunshine N' Apples for Belles N' Whistles. I just love her umbrella and basket. She reminds me of my Nichole and how she loved to go pick apples when she was younger.



I colored her with copics and used Glossy Accents on her apples and headband and the ribbon on her pants. I added a bit of my Spica Glitter Pen on her umbrella and the paper and brads in the middle of the flowers are from BasicGrey's Junebug collection. Love it! The flowers are Prima flowers and I had to add a bit of Stickles to them! You know how I love the stickles!



And now I have to introduce you to one of my new favorite images. Meet Fairy 2 from Mo's Digital Pencil! Isn't she just the greatest thing? I love how full of life she looks and if you ask me, she looks like she's having the time of her life! I'd love to wake up and see that lively babe sprinkiling her fun fairy dust around me!

She's colored with copics and I love this paper from the Wild Raspberry stack from K&Company. The ribbon is from my stash and I added some stickles to her wings and some glitter to her want. I think she's just perfectly charming!



Here's a picture of her gorgeous face up close. Doesn't she look like she just wants everyone to be happy and accept themselves as they are? I just love her!

And make sure to stop by Follow Your Heart for a great opportunity to win some sweet Blog Candy! We're having a sneak peek tomorrow of the New Hearts and Hugs Collection #2 for Susana's Custom Art and Card Design by Victoria Case
