Little Miss Muffet - Special Post

Good morning!  Happy Friday!  Hope you had a great week and you have fun plans for the weekend! We are still having very hot and humid weather here, so most of the weekend's activities will likely be indoors in the AC!  I am here this morning with a very special post.  Today the Little Misses are coming together to support a very special young lady. Cassandra is the 11-year-old daughter of Barbara, owner of, and illustrator for, Little Miss Muffet Stamps.   Barbara has shared about Cassandra on the Little Miss Muffet blog today, so be sure to stop by to read her touching story.

Cassandra was born deaf.  She currently attends public school, but because of her diminished hearing, she often has difficulty understanding everything that is going on around her in a busy classroom.  Cassandra has asked for the school to provide her with real-time captioning (RTC).  RTC is where a captionist would type what is spoken in class and display it on a tablet so Cassandra could read the information she may have missed.  Without it, she struggles every day to try and guess at the meaning of half-heard words and sentences.  So far, she has been denied access to this valuable resource.

Our special event today is to raise awareness and spread the word about Cassandra's request.  You can read more about her story HERE and you can also sign the petition to grant her access to RTC HERE.  For each signature on the petition, the school administrators receive an e-mail regarding the request.  We want to help Barbara fill their inboxes!

To support the petition and Cassandra, Little Miss Muffet Stamps has released a dozen new images.  One of these images, Polka Dot Pals Rosalie, will be available as a freebie in the Little Miss Muffet store.  You won't want to miss out on that! Most importantly, we want to spread the word and get lots of support for Cassandra! We hope you can help.

Now for my card for Cassandra:

My card base and mats are SU Rose Red and the patterned papers are from the Webster's Pages Plum Seed collection.  The adorable new image is Jr. Hatter Millie.  I have colored her with my Copics. The sentiment is from Create With TLC.  The banner was created with the Party Banner Metal Die from Little Miss Muffet Stamps.  A couple of wooden butterflies and a Wild Orchid Crafts daisy finished my card.

Here is a close-up of the colored image:

Thanks for stopping by!  Be sure to visit the Little Miss Muffet blog and read all about Cassandra and check out the gorgeous projects from the rest of the Little Misses!  Don't forget to pop over to the store and pick up your freebie and most importantly, please sign the petition to help Cassandra get RTC.

One last thing, if you wish to send words of support and encouragement directly to Cassandra, you can send to this address:

CART for Cassandra

P.O. Box 163462

Have a great day!  I will be back a little later with my card for this week's Friday Coloring Challenge.

Little Miss Muffet - Inspiration Thursday

Good morning!  Happy Thursday!  Hope you're having a good week so far.  It's still super hot and humid here.  We did get a little rain last night, but it didn't really cool things down much.  Hopefully there will be a break in the action soon.  Before heading out for a busy day, I am here with my Little Miss Muffet DT card.  It's Inspiration Thursday this week, so as always, the Little Misses will have lots of inspiration for you over in the Little Miss Muffet Facebook group.  Be sure to stop by and check it out!

Here is my card:

Now here's something you don't see too often from me - a CAS design with no patterned paper to be found!  This beautiful image doesn't need anything else, in my opinion.  It is Dragonfly Floral from DoveArt Studios, available from Little Miss Muffet Stamps.  The detailing of these images by Jennifer Dove is amazing and it makes them a delight to color.   I colored this with my Copics.  I added some Star Dust Stickles to the dragonfly for just a touch of shimmer.  The sentiment is from an old set from Gina K. Designs.  A simple black mat to set off the image and that was it.

Here is a closer view of the colored image:

Thanks for stopping by!  Be sure to visit the Little Miss Muffet Facebook group and check out the Thursday Inspiration from the rest of the Little Misses.  Don't forget about our "anything goes" challenge over on the blog.  You still have until Tuesday, July 28th to enter.

Little Miss Muffet - Inspiration Thursday

Good afternoon!  Happy Thursday!  Hope you are having a good week so far!  We had strong storms last night that had us hunkered down most of the evening, but today we are back to sunny, hot and humid.  I guess that's to be expected in central Alabama this time of year!  I'm glad we have air conditioning, that's for sure!  I am popping in now to share my Little Miss Muffet DT card for the week.  It's Inspiration Thursday week, so you know the drill.  The Little Misses will be posting inspiration projects throughout the day over in the Little Miss Muffet Facebook group.  It's a great time to visit and see their fabulous creations with fun products from the Little Miss Muffet Stamps store.

Here is my project:

My card base and mats are SU Vintage Violet and the patterned papers are from the Webster's Pages Western Romance Petite Papers pack.  The fun image is Celeste Amberglow Yeehaw by Pollycraft from Little Miss Muffet Stamps. I colored her with my Copics then added Stickles here and there for a little sparkle for this cute cowgirl.  The sentiment is from Create With TLC.  I've also glittered it up with Stickles.  A gingham bow and little metal star charm finished my card.

Good afternoon!  Happy Thursday!  I hope you are having a good week so far!  We've had pretty rainy weather here all week, but thankfully not the awful flooding that other areas are experiencing.  The rain does make it easier to be inside, though, and I have tried to get caught up on a few things.  I am popping in here to share my DT card for Little Miss Muffet Stamps.  It's Inspiration Thursday, so throughout the day, the Little Misses will be sharing inspiration projects with some of favorite LMMS images over in the Little Miss Muffet Facebook group.  There are quite a few fabulous new images in the shop, so you'll definitely want to check out both spots today.

Little Miss Muffet - Inspiration

Good morning!  Happy Monday!  Hope you had a good weekend and your week is off to a great start!  I've been totally MIA for the past week.  First, I was waiting for Geek Squad to repair my computer, then I had my dear friend visiting me from Sweden and then I was out of town with very limited internet access. I feel so out of touch, but it was a kind of nice forced break from the computer.  I am trying hard to catch up today.  I am here now with my Little Miss Muffet DT card from last Thursday.  I couldn't get online to post it then.  It was Inspiration Thursday and the Little Misses posted lots of wonderful inspiration projects over in the Little Miss Muffet Facebook group.  I hope you had a chance to check them out.

Here is my belated creation:

My card base and mats are SU Island Indigo and the patterned papers are from my stash so I am not exactly sure which pad they are from.  The adorable image is Sugar 'n Spice Dolls Ginger from Little Miss Muffet Stamps.  I colored her with my Copics then cut her out and popped her up.  The cute sentiment is from Create With TLC.  A simple satin bow finished my card.

Here is a close-up of the colored image: 

Thanks for stopping by!  Hope you take a moment to check out the fabulous projects the rest of the Little Misses posted Thursday and the days since!  You still have until tomorrow to enter our "many layers" challenge over on the Little Miss Muffet blog.  We hope to see your creation there!
