Friday Coloring Challenge - The Outlawz

Good morning!  Happy Friday!  I hope you've had a good week and you have fun plans for the upcoming weekend.  I am only hoping we get a couple of days with no rain!  Fingers crossed!  Anyway, I am here now with my DT card for this week's Friday Coloring Challenge at The Outlawz.  The theme this week is "anything goes" with the option to add a Christmas twist.  The twist is completely optional, but you must have a hand-colored image somewhere on your project to enter.  Any coloring medium is fine.

Here is my card:


My card base and mats are SU Cherry Cobbler and the patterned papers are from the Simple Stories DIY Christmas 6x6 pad.  The beautiful image is Rosarna Christmas by Karen Middleton from Sweet Pea Stamps.  I colored her with my Copics.  I'll add a holiday sentiment once I know who will get this card.  A few gems and three layered poinsettia stickers finished my card.

Here is a close-up of the colored image:

Little Miss Muffet - Inspiration Thursday

Good afternoon!  Happy Thursday!  I hope you are having a good week so far!  We've had pretty rainy weather here all week, but thankfully not the awful flooding that other areas are experiencing.  The rain does make it easier to be inside, though, and I have tried to get caught up on a few things.  I am popping in here to share my DT card for Little Miss Muffet Stamps.  It's Inspiration Thursday, so throughout the day, the Little Misses will be sharing inspiration projects with some of favorite LMMS images over in the Little Miss Muffet Facebook group.  There are quite a few fabulous new images in the shop, so you'll definitely want to check out both spots today.

Here is my card:


My card base and mats are SU Bermuda Bay and the patterned papers are from the My Mind's Eye Collectable "Notable" 6x6 pad.  The darling image is Jr. Sunbonnet Serene.  She is one of the new digis in the shop.  I colored her with my Copics, of course.  The sentiment is from Create With TLC.  A few gems and a dotted ribbon bow finished my card.

Here is a close-up of the colored image:


Thanks for stopping by!  Be sure to check out the LMMS Facebook group and feast your eyes on all the inspiration the Little Misses have for you today!  Don't forget about our current "anything goes" challenge over on the blog. You still have until Tuesday, June 2nd to enter.

Friday Coloring Challenge - The Outlawz

Good morning!  Happy Friday!  Hope you had a good week and you have fun plans for the upcoming weekend!  I'm looking forward to a little extra down time this Memorial Day weekend.  Right now I am here with my DT post for this week's Friday Coloring Challenge at The Outlawz site.  The theme this week is "music".  It can be anything to do with music, but you must have a hand-colored image somewhere on your project.  You can use any coloring medium you'd like.

Here is my card:


My card base and mats are SU Basic Black and the patterned papers are from the Prima Lyric collection.  The beautiful image is Melody by Joanne Schempp.  It was available previously from Sweet Pea Stamps, but I don't see it in the shop right now, so it must be retired.  I colored it with my Copics and added a bit of Diamond Stickles to the little fairy's wings and Liquid Pearls around the flowers in her hair.  The sentiment is from Create With TLC.  A triple-loop seam binding bow and a Wild Orchid Crafts rose finished my card.

Here is a close-up of the colored image:


Thanks for stopping by!  Be sure to visit the Friday Coloring Challenge and check out the stunning creations from the rest of the DT!  We hope you will play along!  Our wonderful sponsor for May is Sweet Pea Stamps, who are offering the lucky winner 3 digis of their choice from the Sweet Pea Stamps online store.

Little Miss Muffet - Inspiration

Good morning!  Happy Monday!  Hope you had a good weekend and your week is off to a great start!  I've been totally MIA for the past week.  First, I was waiting for Geek Squad to repair my computer, then I had my dear friend visiting me from Sweden and then I was out of town with very limited internet access. I feel so out of touch, but it was a kind of nice forced break from the computer.  I am trying hard to catch up today.  I am here now with my Little Miss Muffet DT card from last Thursday.  I couldn't get online to post it then.  It was Inspiration Thursday and the Little Misses posted lots of wonderful inspiration projects over in the Little Miss Muffet Facebook group.  I hope you had a chance to check them out.

Here is my belated creation:


My card base and mats are SU Island Indigo and the patterned papers are from my stash so I am not exactly sure which pad they are from.  The adorable image is Sugar 'n Spice Dolls Ginger from Little Miss Muffet Stamps.  I colored her with my Copics then cut her out and popped her up.  The cute sentiment is from Create With TLC.  A simple satin bow finished my card.

Here is a close-up of the colored image: 


Thanks for stopping by!  Hope you take a moment to check out the fabulous projects the rest of the Little Misses posted Thursday and the days since!  You still have until tomorrow to enter our "many layers" challenge over on the Little Miss Muffet blog.  We hope to see your creation there!

I am entering my card in the following challenges:
Sentimental Sundays #259 (funny or cute sentiment)
Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge (color inspiration)

Have a great day!  I'll have another post today for my Friday Coloring Challenge card from last week.

Friday Coloring Challenge - The Outlawz

Hi there!  Happy Friday!  Hope you've had a good week and you have fun plans for the weekend!  I was having a good week until my 3-month-old desktop computer decided to stop working!  I am online with Geek Squad and they are trying to sort it out, but what a big pain!! Meanwhile, I have had to set up an old laptop just so I can check mail and do my post. Anyway, here I am, albeit late, to share my card for this week's Friday Coloring Challenge at The Outlawz. The theme this week is "celebrations".  It can be the celebration of any occasion, but you must have a hand-colored image somewhere on your project. 

Here is my card:


I made a card to celebrate the birth of a friend's baby boy. My card base and mats are SU Baja Breeze and the patterned papers are from the Graphic 45 Little Darlings 8x8 pad.  The sweet image is Mother and Baby Boy by Conie Fong from Sweet Pea Stamps.  I colored it with my Copics.  The sentiment is from Create With TLC.  A big bow and a handmade heart button finished my card.

Friday Coloring Challenge - The Outlawz

Good morning!  Happy Friday!  Hope you had a great week and you have some fun plans for the weekend! I've got nothing really special planned, but it is supposed to be a beautiful weekend, so I hope to get out and enjoy it!  I am here now to share my DT card for this week's Friday Coloring Challenge at The Outlawz site.  The theme this week is Cinco de Mayo, Mexican food/culture or the colors of the flag of Mexico."  Lots of possibilities!  You can use any coloring medium you'd like, but you must have a hand-colored image on your project to enter.

Here is my card:
 

I went with the colors of the Mexican flag for my card.  The card base and mats are SU Basic Black and the patterned papers are from the Graphic 45 The Magic of Oz collection.  The beautiful image is Red Poppy Fairy by Meredith Dillman, available from Sweet Pea Stamps.  I colored it with my Copics.  The sentiment is from Sharon at her A Piece of Heart blog. It was a Friday freebie many moons ago and I thought it went well with the image.  I didn't add any other embellishments so that the image could take center stage.

Here is a close-up of the colored image:
