Sweet Bunny

I hope you all are enjoying your Columbus Day. It has been a three day weekend for me but I still feel I didn't do as much as I should have. It is hard to believe Christmas is right around the corner. Today's card is from a card kit that I sent to Sandra and Kadie. We have become good friends since meeting on SCS in one of Kadie's swaps nearly 1.5 years ago. We are from all over the country so getting together to stamp just won't work. So we thought how fun would it be to at least work with the same kit and showcase on the same day to see what we all come up with. Each month we take turns on who sends the kit. This month it was my turn. I've had this cute Sugar Nellie stamp in my stash for a while. His name is Macbeth.

I colored him up with copics. The papers are from K&Company and PTI. The ribbon is from Basic Grey. I used sketch SSS25 from Sweet & Sassy. My friend Lorie is on the DT there and man does she have some awe inspiring creations. Be sure to go check out what Sandra and Kadie did with their kits. Have a great day and thanks for stopping by!

Poor Little Piggy

I really struggled for a layout and papers with this card. I spent a couple hours last night audtioning positions, papers, and embellies and this is what I ended up with. A very simple and very basic layout. My mojo was a no go. I think it might have to do with the size of the image. Maybe a square layout would have been better, but since this card is for a swap of farm animals hosted by Gael(mamadwawa) I really wanted the normal size card to work. In the end I think it turned out okay, but feel that it needs something more that I can't put my finger on. I used PTI chocolate, SU more mustard and whisper white, and some DP. I colored him with prisma pencils and used the gamsol technique. The image was received in a WRAK from Dawn(flowergal36), but of course this stamp from Sugar Nellie had to be mine. His name is Porridge. While I'm not normally a pig person this has got to be one of the cutest pig stamps out there.
