Emerald Faerie Baby

Greetings!

TGIFF!  Thank God it is finally Friday, right?!  It has been another emotionally and physcially draining week for me.  I have experienced highs and unfortunately lows; however, I am still standing. 

Today I want to share with you a creation I made using Emerald Faeries Mother and child image.  I think these images are so precious and love coloring them.

Here's my creation...

Once again, these are colors I probably wouldn't have put together, but using the beautiful dp as my  inspiration this is what I came up with.  I love how it turned out.  I created a sentiment to go along with the image  which reads "Babies blossom in the arms of their mothers."  I truly believe this (not just because I came up with it). :-)  There is an undeniable bond between a child and mother.  Eventhough my mother has 14 children, she has a special unique relationship with each one of us.  I colored this beauty up with Copics and each time I try to use a color I never used before or rarely use somewhere in my creations.  I used a Dark Pink in this creation on her shirt and pants.

Uplifting Friends

Greetings!

Everyone needs a little lifting of spirits every once and a while.  I know I could use it lately, because I am battling a serious bought of insomnia.  I have tried almost all the old remedies and am now going to see a specialist.  It just came on me a couple of months ago and it is getting on my nerves. lol  Anyway, my card today is dedicated to anyone who could use a lift.  The good word says to encourage one to another so here's me encouraging you.

Here's my card...

I used those oober adorable faeries from Emerald Faerie Garden.  I think they are so much fun to play with.  I created the sentiment and truly believe that friends are uplifting when you just can't seem to pull yourself up.  The papers are from MME and Basic Grey.  I kind of mixed and matched here.
I will definitely be playing with these cuties again. :-)

Emerald Faeries "Sorry to bug you"

Greetings!

Today I will be joining a group of my bffs for our annual crop at a local church.  I love getting together and catching up with them, because  we don't get to see each much (although 3 of us work at the same place).  I am the only cardmaker in a pool of occasional cardmakers, but mostly scrapbookers.  I love to get ideas for them on color and layout.

I am brining you another card using the Emerald Faerie Garden's "Ally" faerie.  You can get this cutie and several others by visiting the Emerald Faerie Garden blog.  They are all gorgeous and so fun to color up!!  Anyway, I enjoyed playing with them and I am sure you will too.

Here's my card I titled "Sorry to bug you," because I always feel like I am bothering people.  I don't know what that is all about.  Sooo, if I bothered you at some point in time this card is for you! :-)

You can tell I love color.  This paper is from Basic Grey and I allowed it to be my inspiration for this card.  I used Copics to color my little faerie Ally and created the sentiment (which will be available up above in the cinnaments if you would like it).  So since I am such an enabler, you should head over and check them out on the blog.  They also have challenges and right now they have a DT call.  I thought I would wait until I played with them some more before applying for the DT. :-)

Emerald Garden Faerie "Isla"

Greetings!

I am back with another Emerald Faerie Garden image, titled "Isla."  I am entering this card in their challenge, which requires that you either dry or wet emboss.  I used dry embossing on the cardstock behind the image. 

This card makes me *gigl*.  I think because she has such a HUGE grin on her face.  I work at a college and found out recently that one of our Board Members (who is 85) jumped out of a plane.  Yes, a plane at the tender age of 85!  She said that she plans on doing it again with her grandchildren because it was so freeing.  Haha...I would pee my pants at the thought of jumping out of a plane; however, I dedicate this card to her free spirit and TONS of courage.
Here's my card...

I had fun coloring this image.  I used MME 6x6 paperpack for this card.  I masked her and stamped some clouds.  I used Copics to color her up and createda sentiment to tie it off.  As previously stated I used Cuttlebugs' embossing folder to emoboss the brown cardstock.  I added dab of Stickles to the center of the dandelion to give it some bling.

My sentiment reads:  "May your wishes take you on an adventurous journey to undiscovered places."
