Sassenach Anya

Hello! Hope your Sunday is going well as well as your weekend. I'm having a great weekend. My younger sis is here with her bf and my older bro is here as well. They came down to celebrate my birthday, which isn't until Wednesday. It's been some time since we were all together so spending time with them is always nice.
I did have time to make a card for a couple of challenges. Also, I have a friend's birthday coming up so this card might be used.
I've been having fun with the digi's from TGF. I'm using the pretty Sassenach Anya today. I thought she would look lovely in turquoise, black, white and sparkles.
I used Mercy's sketch from the TGF FFF sketch challenge. Followed Amy's awesome curly hair tutorial on the Color Me Copic website (be sure to check it out, Amy has some mad skills with a Copic marker). Used ribbons, bottons, flowers and some really great dp paper from MME to finish off the card.
Here are the challenges I want to use this card for:

TGF - Farm Fresh Friday Mercy's sketch challenge 8/27

Karber's - Challenge #2 Birthday

CMC - Challenge #3 Amy's curly hair tutorial

I just missed submitting this to the Lollipop Crafts - Challenge #4 ribbons and buttons. Well you snooze you lose, right? No worries, hahaha.
Well I have one more card to make. It's a pre-thank you card for my friends who are taking me out for my pre-birthday tonight. We're going to Long Beach to meet up with one of their friends, Sean, he sings with the Hawaiian group Na Palapalai. It should be good fun, he's always cracking jokes and telling us good stories. Mahalo for stopping by, hoping you enjoy the rest of this beautiful Sunday...

Update: I wasn't a winner but the ladies showcased my card on their blog. How wonderful is that? Super stoked and totally honored. YAY!

Graffiti Creeper style

Happy Aloha Friday!! Hope everyone is having a great day and for some of you in later time zones, hope you're having a great evening. I'm back for another short post. CA&F is having their last Monday Mania challenge hosted by a weekly guest and the final challenge was given to us by Jenny V. She wants us to make a scene with our card or project. I chose to make a card. I asked my younger brother to draw me a brick wall with some graffiti on it. Isn't it cool?! I love it!! (His first time using my Copics, so will have to teach him about blending.) For the words I asked him for Creepers. I had already colored Creeper Thursday and thought if I add a spray can to her hand she'll look like the busy one. I tried to free-hand the "empty" canisters and then drew in the side walk by following the cement tutorial at CMC.
So in my scene Creeper Thursday has just finished tagging up her part of the Farm with her crew's name. She's on her last can and is thinking maybe she should stop as she doesn't want to get caught. Too late! hahaha.. Well I hope you get a chance to play along with the last MM to be hosted by a weekly guest. No worries though, they are gearing up for something else, should be fun. Mahalo for stopping by! Have a wonderful Saturday!

Cupcake Anya

Hello!! Happy Aloha Friday!! Are you excited for the weekend to start? I sure am. My younger sis is planning to visit and then I'm spending the day with one of my best buds. In between there somewhere I'm supposed to visit some friends at a farmer's market and get in some batting practice at the batting cages. Hoping the weather is cooperative. :)
Tonight's card is featuring the super cute TGF digi created by the fabulous Rachel Schneider, Cupcake Anya I was soo excited for Rachel, she created a super cute little Anya and who doesn't love cupcakes? A cute Anya and cupcakes.. how divine!! hahaha.. There's a whole lot going on with this card. It's an easel card, blinged out, featuring an adorable image, flowers, AANNNDDDDD it's pink and black!
I had a lot of fun coloring this one and adding all the different embellishments. Here are a few more pictures with some close ups. I absolutely love it! Since this is more than likely going to be a birthday card, I used the sentiment, "Today belongs to you" on the inside. It's sweet and to the point.
Have a great Aloha Friday and enjoy your weekend! Mahalo for stopping by!

Will post the supplies later today. :)

Happy Thursday

Good morning! Happy Thursday! Just 1 more day till the start of another weekend. Can't wait. Before I get on to my card I wanted to ask for your help. I have a couple friends who just started their blog and would love it if you could go over there and leave them some love. They are both new to blogworld and are still trying to get the hang of it. I know how it felt when I received my first couple of comments from you ladies. It was the most awesome feeling. It just goes to show what a wonderful community of crafters we belong to. If you could just pop over and leave them a comment that would totally make their day. They are the ladies that made this card for me. Click here to jump to their blog. Thanks so much!!
I was blog hopping the other day and had just stopped at Donna Mikasa's and I just fell in love with her beautiful sepia colored card she made for a CMC aka (Color Me Copic) challenge. The challenge was to create grass using one of the tutorials on their blog. Donna did an amazing job with the card. She my friends has mad skills. I wanted to make a card using the same color scheme, but alas I need more practice. Tons actually.. I tend to over do when it should be simple. Well Kay serah serah, I still like how it turned out, just will be more disciplined and try for less.. haha. Alrighty, since I'm up so early I think I'll get ready for work and then head on in. Hope you have a wonderful day and MAHALO for stopping by!!

Hello!

Hello everyone! I'm back for a short post. I hope you are all enjoying the week, it's hump day so that means 1/2 way to the weekend! Yahoo!!
The first card I have to share is the one I sent with the Christmas tags to Jenny V. I used this Hello sentiment and one of my favorite TGF stamps, Fleur Anya. I don't remember ever making a card this simple. Just two stamps on cs and 3 Copic marker colors. As you can see there really isn't much to it.
I only colored her skin and her hair. I chose to go dark red using R89. I just love that color. For her skin I used E21 & R20. Those are my favorite skin colors. Now I can add R89 to my list of hair colors. Will work on the highlights, but for now it's just straight up color through and through. I didn't add any color to the flowers or her dress.
Sorry for the bad pictures. Sometimes the setting on my camera is off depending on if I take a picture indoors or out. This one was taken last night at around 1 in the morning, and is a bit blurry. This was the easiest card I've done so far, and yet I think it's one of my favorite ones. Go figure. I hope Jenny likes it. Sorry I thought I had enough juice to post the other card, but alas, I'm fallin' asleep as I type!! So gonna hit the hay and post tomorrow. Mahalo for stopping by!
