The 3 Little Bears Banner!

You never know when you will run into the 3 Little Bears.  These 3 came from a digi set at Vera Lane Studio.  

I have a friend who wants this for her little boy's room.  I think he will find these bears very friendly and the banner is in no way frilly (directions I received)!



Queen of Hearts!

Wanted to do a little share of my ATC Queen of Hearts, image from Vera Lane Studio.  I just love the Alice in Wonderland characters!

All Gangsta!

This is a new digi from Some Odd Girl, Gangsta Bunny!  He really cracks me up and I was anxious to make something with him.  I kept the card simple because any 'gangsta' I know wouldn't want a fussy card. LOL

He's colored with Chameleon Pens, and some Glossy Accents was added for his glasses.  Also the sentiment stamp is from Make a Statement clear stamp set from Some Odd Girl.


Chameleon Pens used:  BL4, NU3, GR2, CG3, BR5, CG5, detail pen.

Feeling Mad!


I feel a little "Mad Hatter" myself.  After a long week of kids with illnesses, and other strange happenings I was ready to get a little creative.

This Mad Hatter is from Vera Lane Studios.  He is colored with Chameleon Pens and you can see that glitter, ink, and a bit of Modeling Paste was also involved.

SMOOCH!

This is Big Kiss Kody and Mae, a new digi stamp from Some Odd Girl.  You can really see the surprise in his face, or maybe it's embarrassment?  Either way they make such a fun couple.

I colored this using Chameleon pens and did a little inking around the edges using Memento ink.  I was trying to keep it a simple masculine card.

Coloring with Chameleon Pens!

Today I want to share my Chameleon Pens coloring.  I used the Some Odd Girl digi Swoon Dakota and did a couple of similar, yet different variations of her.

The pants for both were colored using VO4-Deep Violet.  It's really amazing how you can get two different looks from the same pen.

Other colors used include:  
GR1 - green shirt. 
YL2 - yellow shirt. 
WG3 - shoes and shadows.  
NUOO, NU0, NU1, NU2 - skin.  
NU4, BR5 - hair.  
PK4, RD5 - lips.





Which one to do like best?

Valentines!

Here are the last two of my Valentines for this year.
These aren't fancy, but they turned out cute.






Silly Valentines!

I wanted to share my silly Valentines that I made for my younger boys.  Notice the toaster is NOT in pink or red colors, keeping it understated for one who thinks Valentine's Day is stupid.

Dream BIG!


Say hi to Space Cadet Tia, a new digi from Some Odd Girl.  She is off floating in space while a rocket shoots by.  The rocket, planet, and paper stars were cut from my Silhouette Cameo, I figured she needed some spacey embellishments.  Tia was colored with Copic markers and one background layer was inked with Distress Inks.

Shaker Valentines!





Silly Valentines! I made the coffee one for my daughter who is a Star Bucks addict, and the other is for my girlfriend who is a tea lover.  Both have shakers for a little added bling.  I absolutely LOVE Doodlebug products and was so excited when I received some of the new Cream and Sugar line.  It's so CUTE!

Photography Cat!


Another adorable cat from the new 'Hipster' images at Some Odd Girl!  This is Hipster Photography Cat and she can't be much cuter!  I colored this with Prismacolor Pencils and make a quick and easy tag.

Check out all the new Hipster cats in the SOG shop!

BEE My Valentine!

I'm on the blog today at Some Odd Girl sharing my Buzzy Bee Valentine card.  Buzzy Bee is an older digi, but he's too cute to pass up.

I copied him and flipped him to get the two of them facing each other.  I used Prismacolor Pencils and some Wink of Stella, although you can't really see the glitter in the picture.  They make a perfect little couple!
