Magical colors

Classic "Magical" colors, that inspire memories of very large mice who live in temperate climates, that's the inspiration for this card! I'm always a fan of bright colors, we are all aware of that! But for some reason red, yellow, and black are a bit tough for me to put together on a card.  So, I dove in head first, embracing the challenge.  Here's what I came up with.

I used the brand new Sweet Sentiment Coloring Paper to color up this FREE digi from Kinda Cute by Patricia Alvarez after printing her out (at only 20% opacity).  The DSP is from the Echo Park "Wish Upon a Star" 6x6 paper pad. The ribbon is from Fun Stamper's Journey, and the Dies I used are from Gina Marie Dies.  The tiny piece of Washi tape and the enamel dots are actually "sprinkles" from Doodlebug Designs. In all honesty, the layout was a happy accident, as Mr. Ross would say about trees.... it just sort of happened. 

Thanks for stopping by today, I'm off to be a productive member of society.... hahahahaahahahaha I'm totally kidding! I'm off to color some more and drink coffee! Tootles!

A little Magic

Well, I know that Halloween is over, but it's Saturday and the challenge is Magic, and I had some of these papers still on my desk, so I decided to put them to use... Here is my "Magical" card.

I used the adorable "Teacup Fairy"  and I actually paper pieced the cup using some Doodlebug paper! The spoon is from Tim Holtz and the flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts.

Use a what?!?!?!!?

Ok, we all know that Saturday Challenges at KKS mean a "themed challenge." It's fun, it gets you creative, makes ya think...... but when I read that I had to "use a doily" on my card I thought, "what the heck?!?!?"

Ok, so I scoured my house, craft stashes, asked a few friends, went to the craft store (twice) (both times I got a lot of other things, then got home and realized that I forgot to look for doilies) and still had no doilies.  What the heck is a girl to do?  OOOOHHHHHH!!! IDEA!!!!!

Ya see what I did there? I used my Cricut machine to cut a "doily" into a piece of acitate! Oh yeah! I colored up Alice in Wonderland all Halloween style and fussy cut her, because I'm pretty sure that fussy cutting is my new form of therapy. 

Ok, so I was a little bit of a rebel yet again, I'm sure that doesn't surprise any of you at all. But I couldn't find a real doily and this was a creative way to still be able to play along.  I hope that you can use this as inspiration and play along in the challenge with us this week!  Have a great weekend... Tootles!

A Sweet Little Zombie

Welcome to Wednesday, ain't it grand?  I'm so glad that this week is half way over! ha ha ha! Seriously though, I'm just ready to lock myself int he Room of Requirement and have a little me time.

I think that my mood was a little dark when I sat down to make this card.... because our sweet little Rosie Fairy has taken a turn to the dark side.....

I found this scrap of vivid damask print paper and used it as my inspiration for this card.  I figured with Halloween just around the corner, that this little fairy could dawn some grey skin and be thinking of sinister things. I added a few flowers because, I mean, she IS a fairy after all. I stamped the sentiment directly on a little wooden sign that I've had in my crafty stash for years.

I hope that this little card inspires you to play along with us this Wednesday, remember it's always "anything goes." make something fun and spooky and just have a good time. I know I feel better now after creating something a little "different." Can't wait to see what you make! Tootles!
