They are part of the NEW  "Special Edition" that was released early this Month. They are from the Puddle Jumper line and are also sold separately.

Card Stock is from  PTI. and the DP are just some 'scraps' that I had forever. So I was excited that I got a chance to use them up. :0) I added the 'faux' stitching with my Sakura white gell pen". The "little button" ( they are much smaller than the average ones I use I got from Wal-Mar. ( my go to store. for my crafting needs :0) Sentiment is from my GF "My Guy Ian" set. I thought it was "perfect" for the two of them.

Spring time with Anya

Hello my Wonderful Crafty friends. hehehe I hope that this Gorgeous Sunday has brought you lots of blessing and family time together. Sooo to continue or conclude/ with my Greeting Farm Miss Anya tribute :0) This is another image from the Miss Anya Collection.

I have had these little cuties just sitting in my "stamp box" waiting to be colored and showcased., but I was always a little "nervous" to color them. especially when you see ALL the gorgeous creations being displayed over at The Greeting Farm Blog and Gallery. I wanted to to a "Spring" theme and her with her basket of "fresh" cut flowers is just a "Perfect" image for any spring time layout. I colored her all up with my Prisma and OMS. for her flower and the bow in her hair I used my "sakura" gell pen.

I used this week's sketch form Eat Sleep Stamp # 123

Card Stock is from PTI. DP is : American Crafts, I used my Large Nesti Oval and scallop to cut out Anya with. Sentiment is from Craft Lounge: Easter set and stamped with Memento Rich cocoa. I added some bling to represent the four colors of Red, Green, Yellow and Purple which are also the color challenge for this week's challenge over at "Claudia and Co. Challenge blog. and to finish off I used my "white" gell pen to add some dot's around the boarders and pop dot to make everything pop..

There are some BIG changes coming to Club Anya and Friends, with that there will NO longer be a Saturday sketch. soo this is the last one for them.. So I knew that because I just love ALL of Jen Shults work ( she does most/all of the Saturday Sketches) I had to play along this week.

I just love everything about this sketch. Again with just coloring just a little part of her I wanted to add LOTS of bling and sparkles. So I added stickles to her "purse & her head band". Card Stock is from PTI, DP: Echo Park "Little Girl" pack. (such a gorgeous pack) I got it in the 6 x 6 sample pack from "Claudia & Co.

Go 4 It with Anya

Happy Saturday everyone.. I am soo enjoying this very Cool crisp Saturday with my two youngest ones today. My other two are off doing their own thing and my DH is at the Auto Shop getting our "wind shield wiper" replaced. We have been having raining all week long and they said we may get more this weekend.. So happy for when it starts to truly feel like "spring" . But still we can deal with it because in just a few more months and we will be having 100 plus weather for summer. :0)
Yesterday I pulled out my The Greeting Farm stamps and started to color a few of them ( I have truly neglected them in the last month or soo..) and I decided that I have been missing out on all the  awesome challenges that they have been hosting on TGF blog as well as Club Anya and Friends.

 Now just about two weeks ago my card was chosen as a "Mistery Monday" Where the DT took a card of mine that they found in the "gallery" and "Cased" it I was soo over joyed when I saw that they had picked my card. WOW!!!!.. So this week I wanted to play along and case this week's card. I thought it was just soo beautiful and simple and soo I had to play along. I choose to use this little lady here from the "Miss Anya Lounge" set.  Does she not look soo cute in her little 'soccer' outfit. We have soo many of our own little ones getting ready for "soccer" so she can be use for all sorts of Birthday card, and layout or even a Congrats card.

I colored her with my Prisma and OMS. and added LOTS of sparkle to her number on her Tshirt as well as her headband. Card stock is PTI. DP is my new 6x6 paper pack of "My Mind Eye's True Blue collections from Claudia & Co. Punch is from M.S. Ribbon is Wal-mart and sticker sentiment is "Cosmo Cricket.

Celebrate with Magnolia

Hi my Craft friends.. I am back with my second card for today.. I told you last night that I had created another card with an Image that I had previously colored, but "never" used before.. Here she is!! Miss Tilda her self from the Magnolia stamp series.

I know that they are some "Die Hard" Magnolia fans out there.. I have always thought they were just the cutest stamps.. ( my little one always wants me to finish drawing her nose an mouth on her.. hehehe. But I think she looks just gorgeous as "is"!! I have had her for over a "year" now.. I saw soo many beautiful creations with all the different stamps and collections, that I wanted to give her a try. So I purchased 2 of  the stamps from 7kidscollegefunds. but of course I had always felt a little intimated to color her. I USE to feel that way.. As I don't any more I take my crafting as "my" own enjoyment; I just love the fact that you ALL love it too. :0)))))

I colored her with my Prisma and OMS. I used the "out the box" technique soo it looks like she is running the oval. I used my Nesti and Cuttlebug for that. Card stock, Ribbon and sentiment is: PTI, DP is my new sample pack form American Crafts "Backyard. I purchased from Claudia and CO. I made the flowers with my cricut. and Forever Young cartridge, and pop dot to make everything pop.

Gorjuss Girl

Hi Everyone.. I have a very late post tonight.. It's been raining All day again today, and my Kids where going a little "stir crazy".. So I had to do several actives with them to keep them busy and occupied. So Now I finally had the last 2 hours to  my self . I was able to get some crafting done :0)...

I have said this before that I have several stamps colored for some times.. Some I have had for quite a while, and every time I clean up my craft area I say that I am going to pull them out and make some cards with them ( even if I not too happy with the finally results. It's just always good to see where you started and just how far you have come.. And sometime how much more we can learn and get better at s;0))). SOO I took my "Gorjuss Girl" and made a card with her. And as I was making her up. I realized that I have not made a card or anything with her before, even though I have had her sitting in my stamp storage for about a  "year" now.

I was just starting to practice coloring hair. and she has the "perfect" hair for coloirng. I colored her with my Prisma and OMS. Card stock is from: PTI, DP and Pearls: Basic Gray, Ribbon: Michael, Flowers: Prima, and pop dots to make Gorjuss pop. I have one more card that I will share tomorrow..

Being Fabuous is Hard Work

 

Ok I'm Back with another card. Say Hi to "Dress Up Marci" from La-La Land Crafts.. As soon as I saw her I had to go and snatch her up. She is soo reminding me of my DD Lynette. I have mention before that my little one is such a "fashionesta" and loves dressing up in my  or her "sisters" shoes and jewelry.

I myself can still remember dressing up in my "grand mother's hats. ( She had the most beautiful hats that she wore to Church on Sunday). I colored Marci with my Prisma and OMS. and for her flower and pearls I used my "sakura" gell pens.

Card Stock is from PTI. I was excited to play with her because I knew just what paper I wanted to use. This Gorgeous set is also from PTI. "Beautiful Blooms". ( don't you LOVE IT. :0)))). Ribbon is from Michael's. and the Sentiment is from the very talented " Paulette over at Create with TLC" ( again I can always go to her when I need a certain sentiment for just about 'any' of my creations.
