It's a Very Snowy Wednesday!

Happy Wednesday!

We are being buried in snow and there is a nice thick layer of ice under it! JOY! Can you hear all my sarcasm? The kids are home from school again today, but so far, there are no major issues. We got three little girls placed with us for foster care last night. Very cute! So, today I am a mother of SEVEN! Yikes! While everyone is eating their lunch I'm posting my card for Bellarific Friday.

This adorable kitty is Mavis has a Daisy from Stamping Bella. I stamped her with memento tuxedo black on white cs and colored her with copic markers. I paper pieced her dress.

The DP is twitterpated flower trails by Imaginisce, yellow and white polka dots by paper studio and  the red polka dot and her dress are from a SU print pack. I used the jumbo scalloped die-namic, added 5/8" ribbon, 2 large white brads and stitched all the layers. The hugs and kisses is from a retired su all year cheer I.

A Book is a Present...

Happy Monday!

Shocker! We are once again in the midst of a snow storm. How is this possible? Haven't we reached some kind of record by now? Of course, my kids are hoping for a snow day...(and mama is praying that they don't) *grin*

I took on  "Quote Me" the Tiddly Inks Challenge. It was a fun challenge. The hard part was picking just one favorite quote...isn't that sad?

This cutie is from Tiddly Inks. I printed her on white cs and colored her with my copic markers. I colored the books with watercolor pencils and added some gel pen to some of the book bindings for some bling. Her outfit was paper pieced with DP.  And since she turned out so cute and I used Kraft cs.  I'm using her for Jeanie's That's Krafty Thursday Challenge, too.

Tiddly Inks Challenge

     Here I am, again. I can't believe I'm actually posting twice in one day. This is my card for the tiddly inks challenge. The challenge is to create an all white card. The only thing allowed to have color is your image. This was hard for me. I am all about color! So I tried to make up for lack of color with textures.

     This adorable kitty is called Wild Thing. I colored him with copics and cut him out with my circle nestie. I layered him on white felt which was cut out with a big scalloped circle nestie. I sewed around my embossed polka dot layer and also sewed the sentiment on. I added crystal stickers to the corners for some bling.
