Claudia & Company BLOG HOP!!!!

HAPPY FRIDAY!!!!!!!!  It's raining, cold and dreary here in Southern Indiana, so what would be better than sitting a spell and enjoying a BLOG HOP full of fantastic creations by the designers and customers of Claudia & Company??? NOTHING!!!!!!!!

So, let's get to it!!!!  You should have arrived here from Carol's blog!  If you didn't, and want to start from the beginning, GO HERE, and I will see you in a bit!!

 

For my lovely creation, I used Puddle Jumper Winter Ella with Penguin!  I coordinated her winter coat, scarf and boots to my papers (by Stampin' UP!) and I used Copic markers to color in this ADORABLE image (created by Lori Boyd, of course!).  I added a little bit of button and bling for a nice detailed touch!

Isn't she the sweetest??!

It's time to keep hopping!!!!!  Be sure to comment on everyone's creation to be eligible for the prizes that Claudia is giving away on the HOP!  You have until Monday 12pm NOON Eastern time to get your voice heard!

Thanks for stopping by and leaving me some love!

Happy Monday! 

Welcome to stop #16 of the

Paper Makeup Stamps BLOG HOP!!!

{{If you are looking for the Meljen's Designs BLOG HOP,

Otherwise, keep on  reading to learn more about my adorable

Coffee-Lovin' COSETTE, below!}}

My dear friend, Andrea Vernagus, invited me to be a part of the 2-Year Celebration Blog Hop of Paper Makeup Stamps today!  You should have come here from Andrea's blog (did you see her awesomeness, yet?), but if not, GO HERE to start at the beginning!

Paper MakeUp Stamps is celebrating

their 2 Year Anniversary today! 

Congrats, PMS! 

Cosette, (above), may be lover of hot cocoa, but since I personally am a coffee-freak, I thought I would showcase her (and pretend that she is drinking coffee! LOL!) on my card today!  Cosette is a stylish little fairy in her green and purple get-up, don't you think?  I enjoyed coloring her in with my Copics and coordinating her with my Spellbinders Nestibilities and paper, punches, Copic-colored bling and sentiment by Stampin' UP! 

Now it's time to keep on Hopping to see the ever talented, Anita Hovey!  You will be glad you did! 

Thanks for taking time to stop by and celebrate with Paper Makeup Stamps!

Pre-Colored images ROCK!!!!!!

Hey my peeps!

How is everyone's week so far?  I hope everyone is smashing!!

Today I have a simple, fun little card for you!  I used the pre-colored Frog Prince digi by Meljen's Designs!  BOY, do pre-colored digis make card-making faster! I whipped this one up in no time!  I used a past sketch by Card Patterns (below) as my beginning point for inspiration.  I love a good sketch!

These papers are by Die Cuts with a View and are actually Christmas papers, but I don't think you can tell, can you?  The image was colored perfectly for these papers so I just had to use them!  My card is also incorporating this week's HEART challenge at Meljen's Designs!  Make something with a heart and you, too, will be entered to win three free images from Melissa Jenkin's digi-line!!

AND did you see the latest release of UBER CUTE images (below) by Melissa?  OH MY, she is just so talented!  Love her little swirls, squiggles and dots!  They just give the images such personality and whimsy!  Lovin' Turtle has quickly become a favorite of many of our fans!  I bet you are one of them, too, aren't ya?? Giggle!

See MORE of Melissa's images at Whimsy Stamps!  She has rubber stamps, did you know that?  AND she has other pre-colored images, too, that make it so simple to pull a project together and quickly! 

Thanks for stopping by! 

Be sure to drop by on THURSDAY for a SPECIAL POST!! 

You will be glad you did! 

Enjoy your day!
