I hope everyone has had their fill of turkey and all the trimmings, shopped their hearts out and got some good deals. Me, I got a few little deals, nothing to brag about...came home and put together some cards. ***note to self, the crying sound coming from the box is the tree...it wants to come out! find some time...lol Has anyone else put their tree up yet?
On to card business. I have something *new* from my pal Kimmie and this here is a little sneak at what is being released on Sunday 11/29 at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps. Her name is Drucilla and I think she is looking for her someone to love! {oh, this could so be me with my lil' george doll, wishing he would love me...}
Kimmie is already shooting for Valentine's Day, so this was fun to color a non Christmas-y image. I personally was smitten with the artist of these images, Annie Rodrigue, that I ordered a few prints from her. My inspiration for Drucilla was the plaid paper from October Afternoon and it is all colored with prismacolor pencils and blended with gamsol.
Ms. Kimmie has gotten her DT together and she invited some lucky stampin' friends {me!} to help her launch her newest stamps. There will be a Blog Hop that is gonna start Sunday @ 1:00 a.m. est. and I have another card/image by Annie Rodrigue to show ya... Not too many hours away so come on back and see what's going on! adios!!
Hi Paula! I hope you don't mind me clicking on your link when you came on my blog! I couldn't resist! And what a surprise!! I didn't expect to see a card made out of Drucilla already!!! You've done such a great job with the colors! I LOVE it!!! And mixing the image with the plaid pattern is such a nice idea! Gorgeous design! This totally made my day! =D

Paula I love her images too! It is killing me to wait until January to buy some more of them but the whole gotta buy presents for the kids thing is sucking up all of the $$. Love, love love how you colored her. I checked out all the sneak peaks yesterday and fell in love all over again.
