Little Miss Muffet Challenge #78 - Love

Good morning!  Happy Thursday!  Hope you've had a good week so far!  It's been a crazy week here in AL!  We got hit hard by Winter Storm Leon and basically the whole metropolitan area has been shut down for a few days.  Poor hubby got stuck at work on Tuesday and had to spend the night in his office.  He made it home safely last night, but not without a harrowing drive.  We just aren't equipped to deal with snow and ice here in the South! Anyway, it's Thursday and time for my Little Miss Muffet DT post.  We have a new challenge for you today and the theme is "love".  Perfect for this time of year!

Here is my card:

My card base and mats are SU Cherry Cobbler and the patterned papers are from the Recollections Valentine 6x6 pad.  The fun image is Celeste Amberglow Cooking Up Some Love by Pollycraft for Little Miss Muffet Stamps.  I colored her with my Copics, cut her out and popped her up on a heart-shaped frame cut with my Cameo.  The sentiment is from Create With TLC.  Some blue dotted ribbon and a couple of pink heart gems in the corners finished my card.

Here is a close-up of the colored image:

Good morning!  Happy Thursday!  Hope you are starting to settle into your new year routine after the holidays!

My card base and mats are SU Baja Breeze and the patterned paper is from the We R Memory Keepers Winter Frost 6x6 pad.

Little Miss Muffet - Super Saturday

Good morning!  Happy Saturday!  Hope your weekend is off to a great start!  I will confess that my cards are NOT actually in the mail yet, but they are done and I have purchased stamps, so I hope I can get them done later today or, at the latest, Monday morning.  I know, I know.  It wasn't going to happen again this year - lol!  Anyway, I am here with my DT post for Super Saturday at the Little Miss Muffet blog.  We have a freebie, a $1 stamp and a couple of spotlighted stamps at a reduced price for a limited time.  The Little Misses have some inspiration for you, too!

The freebie is Shade Tree and the $1 stamp is Christmas Shade Tree.  I love all these tree stamps, but just haven't managed to make cards with them.  I did make a card with one of the spotlighted stamps, Sugar 'n Spice Dolls Sugar.  The Sugar 'n Spice Sentiments are also spotlighted today.

Here is my card:

My card base and mats are GKD Turquoise Sea and the patterned papers are from the Echo Park So Happy Together 6x6 pad.  I colored up Sugar with my Copics and added some polka dots to her outfit with my Sharpie White Paint Pen.  The sentiment is from Create With TLC.  A punched border and some Ice White Pearl Pen accents finished my card.

Christmas Kiss

Hi there!  Happy Monday!  Hope you had a good weekend and your week is off to a great start!  My thoughts are with all who were impacted by the terrible storms yesterday.   What crazy weather for November!  Luckily, it was just windy and rainy here.  I'm so grateful for that.  Anyway, I am here with a quick post to share another Christmas card I made to add to my stash.  It won't be long before we have to start sending these out!

Here is my card:

I made an scallop circle easel card.  The base and mats are green cardstock from my stash and the patterned paper is from the October Afternoon Holiday Style 8x8 pad.  The festive image is Christmas Kiss by Mo Manning for Penny Black.  I stamped her on MiC Blending Card and colored her with my Copics.  I added Silver Stickles to the ornament top and her barrette, Lime Green Stickles to her slippers and Red Stickles to the heart in her hair.  I added Ice White Pearl Pen accents to her headband and Glossy Accents to the holly berries.   The sentiment is a 3-D sticker from my stash.  I added a couple more ornament stickers to the easel base, but you can't see them here.  A bright red satin bow finished my card.

Here is a close-up of the image:

Homemade With Love

Hi there!  Happy Tuesday!  Hope your week is off to a great start!  I have a bunch of stuff going on and haven't been able to get in my craft room much lately, but I am hoping to get there later today for a bit.  Until then, I have a quick post to share a card I made for a few challenges with a fall theme.  It doesn't seem much like fall here.  It's been in the 80s and 90s and not a drop of rain since Labor Day!  I'm actually looking forward to the cooler days.

Here is the card I made:

Nothing says fall like freshly-baked apple pie!  Yummy!  My Mom used to make the best apple pie!  My card base and mats are GKD Cranberry Tart and the patterned papers are from the Bo Bunny Forever Fall 6x6 pad.  My sweet image is Apple Bake from the Elisabeth Bell Digital Collection.  I printed her on MiC Blending Card and colored her with my Copics.  The sentiment is from Create With TLC.  Three metallic leaves and a double-loop satin bow finished my simple card.

Here is a close-up of the colored image:

You'd better grab a coffee and settle in, because in addition to the new stamp releases, Barbara has given the Little Miss Muffet Stamp shop a brand new look and there will be lots of special offers to help celebrate!  As far as the new release goes, there are both rubber stamps and digis from Pollycraft for Little Miss Muffet Stamps and it's all about Christmas this time!  Wait until you see how adorable all these stamps are!  Check out the New Releases Section of the fab new store to see everything!

To get started, here is my card for the new release:

My card base and mats are SU Ruby Red and the patterned paper is from the October Afternoon Holiday Style 8x8 pad.  The adorable image is All The Trimmings by Pollycraft for Little Miss Muffet Stamps.  I colored her up with my Copics, then added lots of texture and sparkle with Stickles, Snow Glitter and Glossy Accents.  The sentiment is from Create With TLC.  I finished up my simple design with a red taffetta bow.  The sketch was one I missed from Tuesday Morning Sketches.

Happy Birthday To You

Good morning!  Happy Monday!  There is such a thing, right?  Hope you had a good weekend and your week is off to a great start!  I managed to take a few moments in my craft room this morning to finish up a card I was working on this weekend.  It's for a few challenges I enjoy doing.

Here it is:

My card base and mats are GKD Turquoise Sea and the patterned papers are from the My Mind's Eye Kate & Co. Cambridge Court 6x6 pad.  I have to say these are some of my favorite papers at the moment.  I love the colors and patterns!  The adorable image is Li'l Lynda's Piano Forte from Elisabeth Bell's Digital Collection.  I printed it on Make it Colour Blending Card and colored it all with my Copics.  I added some Stickles to the lace on her dress and petticoat and added lots of pearl accents with my Viva Decor Ice White Pearl Pen.  I did some machine-stitching around all the panels.  The sentiment is from Create With TLC.  A bunch of Wild Orchid Crafts roses, a pearl spray and a pearl swirl finished my card.

Love You, Miss You

Good morning!  Happy Monday!  Hope you had a great weekend and your week is off to a great start, as well!  The weather was nice here all weekend and we were very busy, but I did manage to get in my craft room just briefly to finish up a card I was working on.  It is for the current Guest Design Team Call for The Digi Bell's DT blog.  I had so much fun when I was a GDT before that I had to put my name in the hat again!  To answer the call this time, you had to CASE or LIFT a design from one of The Digi Bells that was posted on the blog.  It certainly was hard to choose, since every day the super-talented DT posts gorgeous creations there!  After much deliberation, I chose this card by Digi Bell, Julie Price, to CASE:

Here is my card based on Julie's gorgeous creation:

My card base and mats are SU Pear Pizzazz and the patterned papers are from the Kaisercraft English Rose 6x6 pad.  My adorable image is Love You, Miss You from Elisabeth Bell's Digital Collection.  I printed her on Make it Colour Blending Card and colored her with my Copics.  I added a bit of White Opal Liquid Pearls to her buttons and the snap on her little purse.  I framed her with a pretty doily that I cut with my Cameo using a cut file from Monica's Creative Room.  I added some white lace and a bow of May Arts wide silk ribbon.  I painted a metal corner piece from Wild Orchid Crafts and spritzed it with Pearl Shimmer Mist.  The banner was cut out with the Layered Party Banner from Little Miss Muffet Stamps.  I added lots of  Wild Orchid Crafts roses and a spray of little pearls.  A tiny heart charm (from June N. -thanks so much!) finished my card.

Here is a close-up of the image:

Thanks for stopping by!  I hope to be around to visit your blogs this afternoon as soon as I get home.

I am entering my card in the following challenges:
Elphine House #42 (Pearls and Lace)
Oozak Challenge #13 (lace, pearls and ribbon)
Crafty Sentiments Designs #94 (lace and pearls)
Card Makin' Mamas (ribbon)
Love to Create Challenge #62 (BINGO; I chose the first column - lace, flowers, doily)

Little Miss Muffet Challenge #57

Hi there!  Happy Thursday!  Hope you've had a good week so far!  Sorry to be MIA again.  I've got a lot going on and despite my best efforts, I haven't made it to my craft room much this week.  But of course, I could not miss my Thursday DT post for Little Miss Muffet.  We've got a new challenge for you this week and the theme is "Easter".  Perfect timing with Easter less than two weeks away.  Can't wait to see all the gorgeous pastel creations for this one!

Here is my card:

My card base and mats are SU Pretty In Pink and the patterned papers are from the Basic Grey Sweet Threads collection.  I created the layered Easter egg background with my Cameo using free cut files from the Scrap Girls Eggstra Special set that I found here. The bottom egg base was cut from aqua glitter paper.  My adorable image is Lil' Bunny from Little Miss Muffet Stamps.  It is available as a rubber stamp, but I used the digi version.  I printed her on Make it Colour Blending Card and colored her with my Copics.  I added Glossy Accents to her glasses.  I cut her out with my Cameo and popped her up on foam tape over the top egg.  The sentiment is from Create With TLC.  A few glittery dimensional Easter egg stickers finished my card.

Here is a close-up of the image:

Thanks for stopping by!  Be sure to visit the Little Miss Muffet Challenge blog and feast your eyes on the adorable creations from the rest of the DT, our wonderful Guest Designer for March, Margreet, and our special guests, Julie D. and Cris!  We hope you'll join in on the challenge!  You have until Tuesday, April 2, to enter your project.  If you use a Little Miss Muffet or any Pollycraft image, you can enter with "anything goes" as the theme and you can enter as many times as you'd like.  Otherwise, please follow the theme and enter only once.

I am entering my card in the following challenges:
Sentimental Sundays #146 (anything goes plus a sentiment)
