Gone Fishin'!

Me? I don't fish. Too barbaric. But this little Edwin fishing is awfully cute. :) I love these little guys with the scenes all built in....so much fun to color! And y'all KNOW I love coloring. I have been using my pencils more lately. Not because I've fallen out of love with my Copics but instead because I don't want to forget how to color with my pencils (plus, uhm, they're kinda too spendy to let them sit on the shelf unused. LOL!)

What I used: SU CS, forget who made that PP, colored pencils and OMS, stickles, chalk, twill ribbon.

Pretty straight forward, yo. hehe

Happy Trails to you............

hahaha! Okay, so I know...this card is a bit odd. :D But c'mon...snail....trail...Anyway....today's DT Challenge at All That Scraps is to use microbeads. I was all....ooh...microbeads?! I dunno if I have any! But, I did and so I was thinking and thinking on what in the world would I do with microbeads?! Well, I guess I sorted it out. hehe

What I used: Cookie Crumbs-Lady Bug Friends from All That Scraps, Memento inks, colored pencils and OMS, microbeads and sticky glue stuff, Cuttlebug, Spellbinders dies, EK Success punch, white gel pen, CHF background stamp, SU! CS, Imaginesce PP, Prima flowers, Doodlebug brad and a bead spacer. I printed the sentiment out on my computer and cut it out with my word window punch from Stampin' Up.

So that is all I have to share for now...thanks for stopping in to see my snail trail. hehe

Don't forget to swing by the ATS blog to see what the other ladies have done with their microbeads!

Hope you have a great day!

(Also, sorry for the cruddy picture quality. My hubby has the 20 mile long lens on the camera and I don't know how to change it so I had to stand 50 miles away to take the picture...LOL)

Cheers!

Edit to add: Oh! ATS is having an Anniversary Challenge! ATS is 3 this year! Run on over to the ATS blog and check it out!

Now for something different....

florals! I don't typically do a lot of flora-dora cards because they don't really fit what I want to do AND because of that I don't really search out stamps with them.

Well, Julie from ATS has put together a lovely Easter Blessings digital stamp set with this gorgeous floral in it. So simple and elegant!

What I used: SU CS, printer and Copic markers, I dunno where the PP is from because I've had it a billion years at least. I also used my Cuttlebug, Spellbinders dies, ribbon and some flat back pearls to finish it.

Thanks for stopping in today! Hope you're having a great week!

Oh Anya...you're so cute!

Like OMW, really? These gals are so fun to color!

I just got an order from All That Scraps with her (and maybe a few *cough cough* more) and I couldn't wait to play! But I had to because work and all that stupid crap that goes with it.

ANYway, I knew that she had to be blinged, baby. I mean, I really don't LIKE doing gardening...but I probably would like it a bit more if you gave me shimmery overalls. LOL!

What I used: Anya stamp, Brilliance ink and EP, Copic markers, White Inkssentials gel pen, Flower Soft, Shimmerz Paints in Mello Yello blingz and Blueberry Cobbler Shimmerz, SU CS, SU PP, SU ribbon, EK Success punch, Cuttlebug, Spellbinders dies, Hero Arts flowers, SU brad, MM button brad, Doodlebug brad with a bead spacer, corner rounder punch.

Here are some close-ups of the Shimmerz:

So that is all I have for today! Thanks for stopping in to see me. :)
