They are the sweetest, most delightful images created by the talented artist, Elisabeth Bell exclusively for SCACD!  Today I am showcasing "Waiting for...."  I had so much fun coloring and creating my card with her!! She reminds me of myself  when I was little.  4:00 PM everyday I would watch out the window for my dad and when I saw him, I would fly out the door and run as fast as I could and he would catch me and swing me up in the air!! It is one of my fondest memories of my dad that I cherish in my heart. Yep, the tears are rolling as I type this.

        Happy Tuesday!

        Happy Tuesday everyone!! Hope everyone had an awesome weekend! My birthday was on Saturday and after I was up for a little bit  DH said "Do you want to go to Kohls?"  I said  "Say what?" I made him repeat it for I thought I heard him wrong!! How many hubbies get up and ask their wives if they want to go to Kohl's? hehe I know this was his conscious talking for he didn't get me a present, but that's ok I played dumb!! And let me tell ya when I was done shopping he probably wished he bought that present! I love, love, love Simply Vera clothing and Kohl's had lots of her things stocked....well, until I got there they did!

        Today is a repeat of a card I made last year. The Greeting Challenge at The Outlawz is to use your favorite image, sentiment or colors! I used one of my favorite images and colors! The image is Sara K's, Spring Blossom from the 3rd collection. I love this image and one I have used over and over again for it is so versatile for any occasion.  And I am so ready for spring to get here and stay! Those few 70 degree days were awesome! Come on Spring!!

        Speaking about The Outlawz!!  I gave it a brand new look this past week!!  Marti Willis designed my banner and did one awesome job! It is bright and cheerful and goes with the name perfectly! Marti is a saint for I have no knowledge of graphic designs...zilch, nada, none! Marti patiently helped me every step along the way until it was finally in place! She also designed my design team, members and feature badges and everything just looks super nice and friendly... I love it! I change the layout to look more crisp and bright with a soft lilac in the background. Come see!! Remember we have seven awesome challenges with a new one starting every single day!

        The DP is DCWV, The Mariposa Stack which  is so dang beautiful and I just love it!  It comes in 48 sheets of 12" x12" and the cheapest place I found for you is at JoAnn's for 9.99! LADIES!!!  That is 20 cents a sheet!!

        Supplies:
        •  Cryogen White paper: The paper I  stamp my image on and lowest price I found was at Cut Card Stock: $8.55 for each pack of 25. The sheets are 8 x 11 1/2. If you buy over 10 packs the price drops to $8.07 and any order over $125.00 is free shipping
        • Copics:
          • Pants: E41, E43, E53
          • Brunette: E35, E31, YR20

        Happy Saturday everyone!! I love, love this weather!! Omgosh, it stayed in the 70's all night long and I had all the bedroom windows open! What a beautiful morning it was with the sun shining and a very slight breeze blowing the sheers! Ah, I was in heaven!!

        Today I would love to share with you  "Just Chill'n!" from the Sweet Meets Sassy Collection by Victoria Case designed exclusively for SCACD. ! Isn't she a baby doll? My hubby asked why did I put "Sweet" as the sentiment. My response was "If I had a body like that, drink in my hand while sitting on the beach....that would be "sweet!"

          Happy Wednesday



          Happy Wednesday everyone!! I am in Pittsburgh and it is cold and rainy and I feel it clear to my bones! Monday,  my 3 year old grandson, Andrew had his tonsils and adenoids removed and tubes put in his ears. He is having a tough time of it, He won't drink and eat and needs the IV to keep him hydrated. Today he was up walking around but still refuses to put anything in his mouth that requires swallowing. Hopefully tomorrow will be better for him. I want him to come home!

          My card was made over a month ago for The Outlawz party! That was a really good party!!

          My image is an image I found on the web with the search words "cowgirl" and she is a coloring page for children...isn't she a hoot!! I asked DH to think of a sentiment and I just love what he came up with!!

          My design paper is digital paper!! First time I have printed and used digital and love it! I purchased it  from  Peppermint Creative You. It's pretty cool for you can print out the size you need perfectly to the fraction of an inch...how cool is that! I cute the boots from the paper and added a healthy dose of Viva Gloss Gel


          Copic Markers: Face E11, E00, E000, R20, R22. Blue: B97, B95, B93. Boots C5, C3, C00. Hair: E31, E25, E50.
          Sentiment: Type written in word
          Paper: Digital Paper.

          Scarlett Bonita

          Hello and happy Friday everyone! Wow this week went fast didn't it? This is the last week of early sunsets and starting Sunday longer days!! Yehaw!! I can't wait for I so hate it when it get dark early. One time I totally forgot to set the clocks ahead and arrived at church as everyone was coming out!! My DH and I used to argue every single spring about how to set the clocks until I gave my clue away to him!!  Spring forward (Springtime clocks go ahead an hour) and Fall back! (Fall season you turn them back an hour!) Easy peasy!! LOL     


          Have you been over to SCACD  to see the new Victoria Case collections yet. Yesiree! Two new collections: Sweet meets Sassy!!  I  love both of these collections! Modern vs Retro women! Below this posting, you can see Mrs. Cleaver!! Yeppers, that would be the Beaver's mom...at least that is what she reminds us of! The one I am using today is Scarlett Bonita!! Isn't she gorgeous! Oh I had fun making her today. You know how some cards just take you  all day to make?!! When I was finally done I said to my sweet, loving hubby "Well, Whatcha think?"  He looked at it and said "boring"  What? What do you mean boring? He said the whole thing was too blah! LMBO  So I hurried up and photograph it and sent it to two friends, who I know would give me very honest opinions!! Both wrote back "GORGEOUS!!" So my friends it's your decision! I changed a few things around and added some color and you tell me which one, out of the two do you like the best!!


           I do like the added color!
          Isn't she beautiful!!

          SCACD Release Day!!

          Hello everyone! Most of you probably thought I fallen off the face of the earth and in many ways I feel as though I have!! I went to visit my mother and father in Arizona and my mom's internet was not the greatest so I have lots of cards to post!

          I have an awesome announcement to make!! SCACD is having two new stamp collections today!! Yes two!! Spring is right around the corner, and Victoria Case stamp collections, made exclusively for SCACD is a perfect way to start the much desire warm weather!!.  "The Retro Crew Collection" and "The Bonita Collection"  Four stamps to each set with a bonus stamp if you buy the whole set!! How cool is that? And  if you buy both sets you get an additional bonus stamp. You can see all of them on the SCACD blog hop today!!

          My Victoria Case stamp is from the Retro Crew Collection! Mrs. Cleaver!! Remember Leave it To Beaver and Mrs. Cleaver wore dresses just like this one!! I love her face with the retro dress! I won't be surprise if it becomes back in style like everything else has. Doesn't she have the prettiest face. The expression "coffee, tea or me" goes perfect with her coffee pot and endearing look!


          Love, love my new  BoBunny Crush 6 x 6 paper pad! Every page is yummy! Susana has lots and lots of new off the press 6 x 6 pads. Each one is gorgeous! I also bought the BoBunny Trinkets with each pad! Love, love them.

          Mrs. Cleaver is colored with Copic Markers: Dress: C7, C5, C3, C1 Apron and coffee pot.: R29, R27, R24,  R22. Face E11, E00, E000. Hair: E50, E31, E25. Do you like her two tone shoes? Classy shoes for a classy lady!

          I added Viva Decor  Gloss Gel Pen to the coffee pot to make it shiny. Hard to see in the picture and also Diva Decor Glitter pen to her shoes. This glitter pen has a very bright glittery shine to it.

          Have you wanted to sew and didn't want to buy a sewing machine? Well let me tell yea! You don't need a sewing machine if you have Sew Easy!  The rotary stitch piercer creates perfectly spaced aligned holes that can easily be stitched up. I should have pulled my stitching a little bit tighter. Easy peasy to use!

          Wait until you see the rest of the girls creations! Dynamite and awesome. If you came here first you need to go to the beginning of the line starting with  Kim G. If you are headed in the right direction your next hop will be to  Suzanne's  to see her gorgeous creation!

          Teddy Stampers Happy Birthday!

           Hello my friends! As you know I am at my parents home in Arizona and  enjoying being with them! Let me tell ya though going from 20's degree weather to 80's in a few hours is way too much! I love the hot weather compared to home but I am roasting here. When the sun goes down, I swear the temperature drops a degree a minute for it sure gets cold! My mom said "oh my it's going down to the 60's Friday...I laugh for back home that would feel pretty warm to us!

          Today my card is made for  Teddy Stampers challenge and we Jershua challenged us to make our cards pink, white and brown which just so happens to be one of my favorite color groups and I was tickle pink (pun!!) it was what she picked!  To enter the challenge you also must have a teddy bear somewhere on your card or creation.

          My image is by one of my favorite artist, Victoria Case. Just look at that sweet face! I love the expression she has looking at her new teddy bear! I love how this card turned out! I colored her with my copics and used Nestabilites to cut out my scallop oval. Prima roses were added and my punch is by Martha Steward. I am sorry I don't have my copic numbers or name of the punch for I forgot to write them down before I left home.
           
          Thank you so much for visiting me! I hope you love my card and it made you smile! Hugz, Colleen

          SCACD Go Green

          Hello Friends!! I arrived in Arizona this week to visit my parents for two weeks! I have the most awesome parents who have been my best friends forever! Literally forever!! I am very fortunate to have them in my life, my dad will be 88 in May and my mother is 84!  They are VERY independent  and make dang sure you are aware of it!!  My mom was insulted I carried the grocery bad into the house.."I can do that you know" is what I heard!! You gotta love them!  I do miss my hubby and dogs and wish my entire family was not spread out across the USA. It sure makes it hard,Oh well (sigh)...

          This week's challenge at SCACD,  Suzanne challenge us to use something recycle on our projects. I was not very creative with this and ended up using old card stock! 

          I used "Fresh Pick"  by Carmen Medley in the Reflections 2 series. I just love this image! I colored her with my Copics. I put some "Stardust" Stickles on the flowers she is holding and her hat. My rose is  Prima! 
          and Susana has the most prettiest colors of roses. Check them out!! 

          Have you been to SCACD store lately? Susana is getting new items in everyday! Lots of pretty 6 x6 paper pads and don't forget to check out the Sew Easy!  Sew Easy is a tool you can use to to do faux or real sewing on your project. It pierces evenly perfect holes into your projects and you can also purchase sew easy yarn in multiple colors to use with it. Awesome tool!!

          Happy Friday Everyone!!

          Did you have a good week? Was it me or did this week drag out? Funny we complain when time flies and complain when it goes slow! We are creatures by habit!

          It's 3:30 AM so I am going to keep this post rather short! Yep, it's my insomnia week, but I am starting to feel sleepy and don't want to waste it!! KWIM! If  you suffer from insomnia you do!

          I am so proud to present this beautiful stamp on my card today! It is "Blowing Kisses" made exclusively by Elisabeth Bell for SCACD! She is so adorable!

          I used a new product! Clearsnap Double-Sided Adhesive Stickers - Flourishes!  So easy to use!  Peel off the backing paper. Place the design on your work piece. The transparent top sheet lets you position it perfectly. Gently rub the design with your fingertips, and then lift off the top sheet. Perfect for use with embossing powder, glitter, foil, leafing, micro beads, pigment powders and flocking. You can't see mine very well because of the lighting and I used Red glitter on pink and red paper...duh? Ok, I was in a hurry to see them work and was extremely please!! They are in the upper left and lower right hand corner. I sprinkle with glitter and was good to go!  They come in flourishes of all sizes!  I love easy peasy!!

          Today the birthday challenge at The Outlawz is you must have an angel, fairy or butterfly on your card. I found this image under my angels file by VN Digital Art.

          I tried something different today coloring with Copics and not sure if I like it. I think I need more practice. I  wetted the image with colorless blender and then colored  using my blender pen marker to pick up color off of a palate. I like the dark edges a lot!  Even though the top of the dress had darts, I wished I wouldn't have brought the dark up so far. Isn't she a beautiful image! I just love her!
