LFF #54 - Shhh.....

Hello...

Happy Aloha Friday everyone!

Thank you all so much for the wonderful comments!  Work has been so crazy and reading all the lovely comments makes the end of the day so much better.  Mahalo for making this girl's end of the day a whole lot better!  :)

Today for Lilo's Fun Friday I wanted to share a baby card I made for my friend Angie.  After stamp camp we became good friends and every month a few of us still get together for dinner and catch up.  She revealed to us that she was pregnant and boy were we all happy.  So many babies are on the way.  Love it!!  We were meeting up for dinner so I wanted to make a card for her.  Lucky for me a ton of really adorable baby images were just released from All That Scraps including some super cute forest and safari pals from Sweet November!!  Wow, Amy did an awesome job with this new release. And I can't leave out any of the CC Designs images... all super cute!!  

I purchased the digital images for most of the release and started to build a small scene...

Shhhh... don't wake the baby....

Oh darn!!  I missed a nose!!  {lol}  Oh well, hopefully Angie won't notice it.  hehehe...  Anyhoos, here's my card featuring the Forest & Safari pals who are making sure that Baby Bear Beatrice is staying all snuggled and warm during her nap.  The cool thing about BB Beatrice is that you can color her up as a little boy, which is what I did, no one the wiser. ;)  I had a lot of fun with the colors, mixing and mis-matching, but they all seem to go together.  I know there are a lot of mistakes, but hopefully I'll be forgiven.  {ha!} 

After I colored all the images (save for that nose) I cut the paper down and created a frame.  It was actually super easy.  After gluing down the colored image on to the dp I cut small strips of dp and angle/glued them in the corners.  Pretty easy!!  Oh look another handwritten sentiment {lol} hey I needed something fast. :)

Alrighty, time to say good night or good morning where ever you may be. 

Mahalo for stopping by.

Have a great Aloha Friday!!

Hugs,

Lilo

Hello....

Hello!

Today I'd like to share another Y&FH image, this is Fumi with Bear Backpack.  I haven't given her much love since the B2S series was released so inked her up and colored her up.  I wanted to try a different hair color, so I grabbed some reds and "went to town."   Love how it turned out.  Gave her some blue green eyes and a nice porcelain skin.  {lol}

I used the latest Jen Shults DS83 sketch because I was inspired by the adorable card that Denice used on her Tuesday post at Y&FH.  Please stop by to check it out, you'll be entertained by the really funny story she shared.  :)  The dp is from MME, with dark chocolate accents.  I handwrote the sentiment on the bottom and added half pearls here and there.

Time for me to check out.  I hope you're having a wonderful day.  Mahalo for stopping by.  We'll see you again tomorrow.

Hugs,

DTC Sketch Challenge

Hey everyone!!

Are any of you an NCIS fan?  I love the show and am always watching the reruns on tv.  I'd rather watch them more then regular tv.  {hehe}  I just had to share that last night's episode was pretty unexpected but really good.  I still have chills from it!!  If you're a fan you'll know what I'm talking about.  Can't wait to see next weeks although I don't think it will top last night.

Getting back into non-Christmas card mode has been fun.  For my card today  I used the January photo inspiration over at Y&FH to pick the colors I wanted to use.  Click here to check out the details of the new month long challenge going on over at Yumi & Fumi Handmade.   We hope you join us. 

I colored up Fumi with Messenger bag for fun and used up some scraps of one of my favorite BG papers.

If I find more of this BG dp I'm getting it!  It's so cute!!  Besides pulling the same colors from the inspiration photo,  I mimicked the slats in the crib's back drop by scoring a piece of white cs every half inch.  Pulled the black & white polka dot paper from one of the banners and added the laser cut sentiment to the bottom.

This layout is actually a sketch from Designed to Color's current challenge.  I think I will enter this card there and also there is an open challenge at FBW.  Just make sure to use a fairy, angel or butterfly.

Alrighty time for me to vamoose!  I might stop by for another share tomorrow. Until then... Mahalo for stopping by!  Have a terrific day!

Hugs,

Leanne

Sit Back & Relax

Morning!!

Popping in real quick to share a card I made using a really cute new digital stamp called Alicia Loves Reading from Alicia's Little Shop.  Alicia has only a few images right now, but she seems to be cranking them out daily and each one is as cute as the others.  Love the anime style of them and will be adding more as they come out.

I am giving this card to my mom, because this gal totally reminds me of her!  I colored her up to look like mom with just a little bit of adjustments to her top.  The couch is a replica of our very own one.  My mom loves to read and since she retired in June she's been doing a lot of that and watching a lot of tv.  What a life yea? 

I used papers from MME Renunion and cased Kim Yu's awesome card.  The dangling bauble is from a wonderful RAK also from the talented Kim Yu.  Check out her Etsy store for lots of gorgeous creations.

  I'm entering my card in to Alicia's special challenge which ends today!

Okie dokes, gotta run!!  Make sure to stop by Alicia's blog and wish her welcome to our community!!

Mahalo for stopping by!!

Have a lovely day!!

January Y&FH Challenge

Happy Sunday!!

Today starts the new monthly challenge at Yumi and Fumi Handmade.  We really appreciate everyone that participated in our December challenge, and congrats to the winners!  January is another month long challenge, so you have plenty of time to participate.  We hope you join us.  Stop by the Y&FH blog to see if you are a winner, the DT samples and to see what the details are for the January inspiration photo challenge.  Good luck!

Here is the kawaii photo Rosemary chose for us to use:

And here is what I came up with featuring Chase from our Back to School line

Yep my Chase has pink hair and dreamy aqua eyes.  He's also not afraid to wear a pink dress shirt with a light aqua tie.  Added him on to a tag which is the same pattern as the pillow.  Super simple.

I hope you'll be able to join our challenge.
Mahalo friends for stopping by! 

Hugs,

Leanne
