Cindy's Antics! Stamping, Scrapping, Crocheting, Family!!!

   Finally, I've been able to make some more cards!!!  I have had them colored since last weekend, just got to build them today.   Yesterday I worked, and then spent all night watching the Royal Wedding recaps.   I enjoyed all of it!!!  I thought Kate's wedding gown was beautiful.  So was her evening dress that she wore!!  William looked just like his Mum with his facial expressions!!  I wish them the best!!!     Well, getting to may card.  This is Miss Belle from Bug a Boo stamps..   Isn't she a hoot?? I colored her with all Copics, the papers are all scraps. Added some Stickles for a little sparkle.  I wasn't really sure what to do with her mouth.  I couldn't really tell if it was to be open or closed....What do you think??     Next is a digi by Meljen, from Whimsy Stamps..It is called "A girl and her kitty".. I also colored her with all Copics.  I think I shaded her pants and shoes pretty good...   I'm still  working on that!!  Not too good

          Over at Phindy's Place , the challenge on Friday was to paper piece.   This is a digi, called Sudsy Suzy . I paper pieced everything!  (Except Suzy herself and the bubbles).  The pink base is Gina K from her Romance assortment. The blue dp is the same Forever Flowers. I don't recall the pink print. It may be Melon Mambo. The white is Gina K Pure Luxury.  I added some ribbon and some Primas. I colored with Copics.   I cut the kitty out of a wood grain paper,(SU-Autumn Meadow)  the tub and rug are SU Forever Flowers.The claw feet, slippers and wine glass is out of a metallic silver paper. Disregard the flock on the kitty. I didn't realize there was extra on him when I took the picture. Hope you enjoyed my paper piecing!! Everyone have a Happy Easter!!   I have to work, so no Easter Dinner for me...  ;o( We are going to order out for lunch, however.  My Mom is home in Wausau, but the neighbor's invited her over for Brunch.  My daughter's a

     All of these Easter Cards  are made from scraps.  Last week I colored all of the images, so I just had to put them together.  This is a digi from Glitterbees, called "Bunny with Garland."  I colored it with Copics, shaded with Pebbles chalk. Base is a Papertrey Pink, the DP is a misc. scrap I had. The sentiment is a Victorine Originals Stamp. (OLD!!)   This is another digi by Phindys Place , "Easter Tree". The sentiment is by Great Impressions. I love it!!   The base is YoYo Yellow, the pink is by Papertrey, and a misc. dp.  I colored with Copics, and shaded with Pebbles chalk.   Isn't he cute??  He is from the Whipper Snapper set- "Spring has Sprung".  All of the layers are scraps as well as the dp.  The base is Bashful Blue.  Not much coloring, but I used Copics.   This cute little guy, I don't even know where he is from. A few years ago, I traded some images with someone and got him.  He is actually embossed in black, so the color

    Here is Nurse Margaret !! Isn't she a hoot??  I'm not sure I would want to see her coming at me with a shot in her hand!!  But, you never know, looks can be deceiving!! She could be one of the sweetest Nurses you'll ever know!!   She is from BugABoo Stamps. You should check them out!!  I used my Copics to color her. The card base and white are Gina K . (Vibrant Violet). The dp is Cottage Wall.

      This is my first Challenge over at Phindys Place . We were to use Purple and Teal.  Well, if you know me, I LOVE Purple!!  The card base is Gina K Vibrant Violet , and the white is Pure Luxury. I used all Copics, except for the Teal, I used a Prismacolor Pencil. The dp is SU Lovely Lilac.  (Notice the Paisley pattern on the paper, and her scarf?)  Added some shading with Pebbles Chalk. I used a Creative Memories punch to make the little Butterflies. Also used a Creative Memories decorative corner punch.  Then added a little ribbon at the bottom.     Here is another cutie from Phindys Place.   It is called "For You".  I'm not sure if she has a name, I will call her Sadie.  She kind of looks like a Sadie to me!!  See her cute little friend hanging out of her pocket??     I have used mostly Copics on her, her face is Prismacolor.  The card base is Pale Plum, the DP is SU Cottage Wall. The white is Gina K Pure Luxury.  I added a couple of FloraDoodles, Handmade Fl

   Remember all of those images I colored last week?  Well, here are 3 cards I made of  Mrs. Comfy.  I think she is a hoot!!  This first one is Mrs Comfy & her friend Rose.  Looks like they just had a fabulous shopping day!!  Most all of my coloring now is with Copics, as I have about 24 of them.  I have had to use some Prismacolors as well.  This cardstock is from Papertrey, the DP is SU Kaleidoscope, and the white is of course, GINA K..  I didn't add any embellishments, because I loved the flowers on the dp.   Here is a close up the the 2    Next is Mrs. Comfy whoopin' it up!!!  The card base is  SU Soft Plum, the darker color looks like Purely Pomegranate, but it is a shade lighter. I can't for the life of me tell you the name of it or who it is made by.  It does match nicely though. The dp is SU Cottage Wall. I added some Handmade FloraDoodles I recently got from SCACD  Susanas Custom Art Card Designs.  (Sorry, my pic is blurry)   Here is a close up

This is a digi named "The Urge" by Prairie Fairy.  Isn't she a hoot??     She is printed on Gina K Pure Luxury, Colored with Prismacolor & Copics. Shaded with Pebbles Chalk. I used the CM Corner rounder. Paper is all Pacific Point, Cardstock and DP.  The sentiment is from SU, "Oval All". Punches are SU Ovals.

      Yesterday I attended my 2nd Donor Rememberance Ceremony honoring the donors and the donor families of Tissue donors.  My Dad passed away suddenly and unexpectedly June 29, 2008, 10 days after successful heart surgery.    He was always helping people while he was alive, and has continued to do so after his death.  So far we have been told that his tissue donation has helped as many as 49 people, 1 person has received 8 skin grafts.  It is a wonderful feeling, knowing that many people are benefitting from our loss.     Here are a few pictures....   The Butterfly is a symbol of Hope and New Life. Our Certificate of Appreciation, Brochure, Candle, Cookie Cutter and Tissue  Candles from year 1, 2 and yesterday.   Me, Cristine (one of my 2 daughters) and Mom   This is m y Mom lighting the 5th candle.  I'm sorry, I can't remember the significance of the 5 candles.  Behind is the National Quilt that travels from place to place.  We have a quilt square on the Regi

       Well over the last 3 days, I was busy coloring!! I just love coloring!! Now the hard part, trying to design the finished product!!!         I already know that I'm going to send Hunter, my Grandson the Dino card!!!    I have to work Saturday, so these will probably have to wait until Monday at least!!     Sunday I will be going to a Donor Remembrance Ceremony to honor the Tissue and Skin donors.  When my Dad passed away 2 years and 10 months ago, he was a donor.     We think he has helped close to a dozen people so far.  2 years ago we had a quilt square made in his honor to go one one of the traveling quilts.      Here is a picture of the quilt square and the Butterfly I decorated.             Thanks for looking!!   I sure do miss my Dad!!!!

White is Gina K Pure Luxury. She is colored entirely with Copics, except her skin, that was a Prismacolor.  I outlined her with a Prismacolor Pencil.  Added some Bling!!, and stamped "happiness" from SU Warm Words, and used the SU Oval punches.    I just found the " Color Me Creative " Classroom by Suzanne Dean, and actually I posted my card for Challenge #15, Metallic 's.  Now, I don't have a lot of Copics yet, only about 12 Sketch and 12 Regular, bust most of my card was colored with them.  I met 2 other RNs on there in my first few minutes...  How amazing!!!        I'm still not to good with shading, but I'm le

      Well, today started out a little lazy..watching Sunday morning TV..  Then I developed a migraine!! My 3rd one in 3 days!!  I'm sure getting tired of them!!  Luckily I can take Imitrex, and they usually go away within a couple of hours.      Well, once I started to feel better, I organized my digital stamps...  I printed all of them in categories by the maker onto a blank sheet of paper, and them put them in a binder.    Next I put all of my clear and unmounted stamps in plastic sleeves and put them in a binder also.  It filled up a 3" binder.  I have more, but theya re in CD cases, so I think I will leave them as they are.   I also renamed all of my cards that I have downloaded in My Documents by Maker and name of stamp.   Now I feel so much more organized!!!       I also went through all of the Stampin Up stamp sets that I do not want anymore.  I have 14 sets so far.   If anyone is interested, email me and I will let you know what I have.   peccindy@yahoo.com
