It's a BEAUTIFUL Morning....

Well, in blog world it is anyway. Here it is just full of rain and ick along with this cold I have and my poor sick doggie... blughderdy. But back to HAPPY! because it is the release day of some NEW BEAUTIES!!!! I am so excited. The blog hop starts with Grace, so if you did not start there, go on back. You don't want to miss the chance to win prizes!!! If you did, then you came to me from Karen's blog and are in the right place. :)

Carolyn and Thomas have worked hard to get some Beauties and accessories together and I just KNOW you are going to love them. They can brighten up a variety of cards and can be used for many occasions... and I am just so happy to get to share them with you :)

First Iwant to share the Baking Beauty with you; she is one of my favorites of the release after all. I LOVE her!!! She is just so cute, flirty, and has shape! Don't you love her curves? I used the sketch provided at Papertake Weekly for this card as well as the Cute Card Thursday's challenge, Swirly Girly (Girly Cards).

The next card I have to share with you is using 2 different pot holder accessory images. I thought these were DARLING!!!! I can see them used for so many things and on so much more than cards. I plan to make a few gift tags to go with some of the gift sets I am giving away for Christmas. They have cookie cutters and other things in them ... so I may have to add a Baking Beauty along with them as well :o). Also, I can see a Valentine's card with a pot holder and a sent saying You're Hot! lol!!! Don't you just love it?!? Another Cute Card Thursday's challenge, Swirly Girly (Girly Cards)

This card is created for this weeks current ICSketch. When I saw this Snoman, I MELTED. He is fluffy and looks like a very huggable guy. I think his smile is so sweet, he is dressed all warm and cozy,and is holding a candy cane! Everything I love in a snowman:o). His face really did me in, just flat out adorable!!! This is entered in the Spoon Full of Sugar: Nontraditional Christmas colors challenge.

Jolly Snowman

My fourth card is from last weeks ICSketch Challenge. I smile every time I see this little reindeer. I have big plans for him, let me tell you:)!!! I think he is so cute!!! The ornaments on his antlers and his somewhat shy, embarassed stance. CUTE!!!!!

Stick Figure Reindeer

The last card I am sharing with you today does not do this image justice! This woman is just GORGEOUS!!! I ADORE her dress. Stunning and so detailed. I do not use my prismacolor pencils as much as I need to, so this was a bit of practice for me. I wanted to use them to give the dress more shading and depth. I plan to try again because I am not 100% happy with my coloring, but I had to share it with you anyway. AND ANOTHER for the Cute Card Thursday's challenge, Swirly Girly (Girly Cards) as well as the Spoon Full of Sugar: Nontraditional Christmas colors challenge
