MelJen's Thursday Release!

Hi There!  I'm just here to share a card I made for MelJen's new digi release, "Fall Teddy." Isn't he darling! He's available at Whimsy Stamps! Today!!!  I was quite excited to color him up and make a card! I LOVE teddy bears and football is my "napping" sport.  My favorite thing to do in the fall (aside from baking!) is to fall asleep to a football game while cozied on the couch.  Something soothing about the sounds of the whistles and the screaming...lol!

So I colored this cutie with Copics.  The sentiment is a clear stamp I have in my stash.  The paper is from Cosmo Cricket.  The stars are from Rusty Pickle from a grab bag I got at CKC a few years ago. And I stitched the edges of the paper with my sewing machine. Thanks for checking it out today!  See you tomorrow for Stamp Something!  And be sure to check back on September 8th..Raindrop Echo Designs has some exciting news:

Club Anya Saturday Sketch

So I decided to play with my newest Anya...Flirty Anya!  I entered her in the Club Anya Saturday Sketch challenge.  I colored her with Copics and paper pieced her dress.  The papers are SEI and the ribbons are from my stash.  The backing paper behind Anya is a piece of tulle. The sentiment is from Whimsy Stamps and punched with a label punch from EK Success. The flowers are punched with a SU triple flower punch.  Thanks for checking it out!
