OPPS......

It was suggested that I schedule my calendar posts for the 1st of each month; but I figured I will remember when I have a post ready right?! WRONG!!! I just sat down at my desk and looked at my calendar DUH!! So I have now taken pictures of the rest and will (hopefully) get it set to post on the 1st of each month, but really I can't make any promises....

For February I used LoveyBella from Stamping Bella. She is stamped with Mementos black on Papertrey white cs and coloured with copics. For the heart I used spicas to give it some bling. The image is mounted on SU's basic black and the calender is on Riding hood red

Thanks for stopping by - sorry I'm after the 1st!

...I See Alice Kissing Butterflies..

Whew, I found the Looking for Love Release Week Challenge from Verve yesterday on SCS.

Four sketches that completed

by 12pm MT today and you have a
chance to win the entire new release!! Well since I don't have any Verve stamps yet (but I did notice shipping to Canada is good) I thought this was perfect - except of course having to make 4 cards in 2 days!

This is the last one and it is also my card for Bella-riffic Fridays "New Beginnings". I picked Butterfly Kisses (alice in Paris) from Stamping Bella because she hasn't been inked AND I like the idea of slowing down and enjoying/ being grateful for things it's a good mantra for the New Year!

Alice is stamped with Memento black ink on Papertrey White CS, I wanted to see how it was to colour with my Lyra Pencils that I bought at Stamping Bella; the hole time I was colouring I was thinking of Nicky because she introduced me to this format of colouring and I wavered a bit but before moving bought the set; she said she knew I would - she is a wise woman!!!

I used my nesties to cut out the image and mounted it on SU's Rose Red. The card base is SU's So Saffron, layered with Tempting Turquoise and a strip of Kiwi Kiss. The DS paper is from Basic Grey's Urban Prairie line.

I added some dazzling diamonds and then of course some cotton candy bon bons from Stamping Bella.

I had a lot of fun completing these sketches and I am looking forward to seeing the releases from Verve and Stamping Bella (look out Mr Credit Card!!)

Happy Friday, Happy Shopping
