Smiley Guy Designs

Hello my friends.  Sorry I've been a little MIA lately.  I've been super busy with work lately and I haven't had a chance to work on any crafty projects.  I'm afraid if I don't get back to it soon I'll forget how to color!  LOL!  But I'm hoping that will change soon.  I'm on vacation next week and I SO NEED IT.

It's time for the next challenge with the Paper Nest Dolls.  This one is a 'bow' challenge. It starts today, 11/25 and runs through Friday, 12/6.  Check out all the details on The Paper Nest Dolls Challenge HERE

We also have a wonderful prize as well.  Can't have a challenge without a prize now can we?  The winner of this challenge will win a $20 gift certificate to The Paper Nest Dolls online store.  Check out all the cute stamped images (both rubber and digital) HERE

The image I used for my card is called 'Lollipop Ellie'.  She's colored with COPIC markers.  The card is very simple - I cut small notches on either side of the card to hold the twine as I wrapped it around and then tied in a bow.  I fussy cut the image and used foam adhesive to pop her up for dimension.  I stamped the sentiment (from Paper Smooches Slang Gang collection) and hand cut the banner edges.  Bing, Bang, Boom and it's done!!!!

 Here's a close up of little 'Lollipop Ellie'  You can't see it too well in these pictures but I used my new Wink of Stella pen to add a little bit of shimmer to the lollipop and the heart on her shirt.
Instead of listing all the COPIC markers I used and labeled, I decided to show them instead.  I've seen others do this and decided to give it a try.  I love my hot pink bucket.

That's it for me....thanks for stopping by and can't wait to see you create for this new challenge,

If you celebrate Thanksgiving I hope you have a great day spending it with loved ones and friends!

Hello my friends!  It's time for another challenge with the Paper Nest Dolls.  'Giving Thanks' is Challenge #17 and runs from today, 11/11/13 until 11/22/13.  See challenge details HERE.

I'm having problems with my laptop so I had to get creative with getting this post done with pictures.  I took pictures with my phone, sent them to my work laptop, signed in to my work laptop and downloaded the pictures so I could attach them here.  

Now the card I made uses the digital image called 'Thanksgiving Avery' - can't you just smell the turkey????
She's colored with COPIC markers and the papers are from Bo Bunny 'Apple Cider Collection' which is from last year but I love, love, love the colors.  I used a Spellbinders Nesting Doily Rectangle die to frame the image and cut a couple of mats.  I love the banner which is from Simon Says Stamp called 'Folded banner'.  It's so cute!!!  The size of this card is rather large at 5.5 x 8.5.  .
Here's the a close up of Avery!
