Wizard in training

August 22, 2022August 22, 2022 ~ sproatmeyer ~ Leave a comment

Are there any Harry Potter fans out there? With the new release of Wizard in Training I thought I would bring in a Harry Potter theme and make a little scene. This scene could be a couple places in the books but it reminds me of the camping at the beginning of book 4 when they are all gathered for the Quidditch World Cup. I didn’t like the color scheme at first but it’s growing on me. My favorite part is the shirt.

So Witchy

August 21, 2022August 21, 2022 ~ sproatmeyer ~ Leave a comment

I had so many plans for this little witch that I didn’t know how I was going to start so unfortunately she sat on my desk uncolored for quite some time. The problem was I had her lines light so I was able to choose no-lines coloring – that opened up the possibilities! I ended up going for this color combination and challenging myself to mix the traditional Halloween colors (orange, purple, green) with natural colors (tan and brown). I didn’t think it would work out, honestly, but I kinda like it. What do you think?

Trick or Treat Kids

Whimsy Stamps is kicking off their Halloween mini releases in full tilt – there have been some in the past but this is one I decided to join in on. This set has kiddos dressed up for Halloween and I thought this little vampire was adorable. So I paired him with the new Poof! Word die and Film Strip to create this comic vibe card.

Ready for school?

Ready or not, here it is! Two of my kids have already started school and the third is set to start on Monday. So we have to say goodbye to our lazy summer days and get back into a more rigid schedule. However, perhaps the more relevant question is are you ready for Halloween? Whimsy Stamps kicks off their Halloween celebrations with their mini release starting tomorrow and I have an adorable card to show off.

Enjoy the little moments

This is Polka Dot Pals Eileen and even though she lives in the city, she’s found a nice quiet park to read her book. This set and the other school-themed set, Polka Dot Pals Delia, are both on sale right now. These are some of my favorite sets and I enjoy using them for more than just school days. I used the same color scheme (mostly) as yesterdays card. I colored this gal live of Facebook so after adding these cuties to your shopping card, be sure to come on over and watch.
