Riley Sneak Peek Day#4!


Hi all, it's Day #4 of the Riley and Company sneak peeks, and today it's all about the Italian Stallion! I saw the 1st Rocky at the movies with my girlfriend when we were young teens, and loved it of course!

Actually Rocky Balbomoose is perfect for Rocky, Ali, or any boxing fan! I coloured Rocky Balbomoose with copics and used the copic 0.3 liner to create the background.

The stars were made with glittery cardstock and punches. I popped up the middle panel and finished it off with some twine!

Make sure to check out the other Designers Blogs to see what they've created and our Guest Designer this month Gina Lindsay!

The Riley and Company Blog Hop and Release is this Thursday September 29th, 10pm est.

Have a Great Day!

Riley Sneak Peek Day#3!


Hello and welcome to Day#3 of the Riley and Company sneak peeks! This is the new Riley as Danny and Sophie as Sandy! Our 2 older girls watched this movie so often on VHS I was sure they were going to wear it out, so we bought them a DVD copy!

For my card today I was inspired by the popular colours of the 50's diners, and records!

I coloured the Riley & Sophie with copics, and cut them out. The card base is black, with a layer of silver. I made the background layer by making records using a 1" circle punch in black and, a circle from the owl punch in red dp, then I used the crop-a-dile to make a hole in the center. I glued all the records to the tempting turquoise and embossed it with a Spots & Dots embossing folder. I thought it had a retro look!

The tile floor was drawn in with a 0.3 copic liner and a black copic. I popped up the characters, and added some tiny heart gems.

This is the inside, the sentiment is from Everyday Sayings and the music notes are from the EK edge punch.

Please make sure to check out the others Designers Blogs, and our Guest Designer this month Gina Lindsay!

Please join us at Riley and Company Thursday September 29th, 10 pm est for the Blog Hop and Release!

Have a Great Day!

Riley Sneak Peek Day#2!


Hello and welcome to Day #2 of the Riley and Company Sneak Peeks! Today I have another Super Hero for you, this is the new Batmoose!

This one took on a life of it's own! I decided to use yellow & black, like the Batman symbol. Then I remember that the TV batman had often been near death caught on a conveyor belt with lots of gears & sharp deadly things about to kill him...so that reminded me of the clockworks EF!

The bats were made with the MS punch. I made up the sentiment online!


This is the inside, I used a sentiment from the Moose Sayings 2 set!


Make sure to check out the other Designers Blogs for more sneak peeks, you can find links on the ridght hand sidebar. We also have Guest Designer Gina Lindsay with us this month!

Then come back and join us on Thursday September 29th, 10pm est for the Riley and Company Release and Blog Hop!

Have a Great Day!

I love movies, and so this is one of my favorite releases! I know so many people who would love a card with one of these images. So as you can see, today I'm showing off the new Spidermoose, and I used a sentiment from the Circus Words set.

I coloured Spidermoose with copics. The card base is brilliant blue, with a layer of real red and then a layer of coredinations embossed with the spiderweb EF. You can really tell from the photo, but I also went over some of the embossed spiderweb with stickles.
