Dream

Hi again!  I'm back with a super quick post to share a card I managed to squeeze in today while stuck inside watching it snow!  Yes, you heard right! It was snowing!  That's probably not much of a big deal for most of you, but it's not something we expect in AL!  Luckily, it looks like it will all melt by tomorrow.

Here is what it looked like from my front window a little while ago:

OK, on to my card.  It is for Tuesday Morning Sketches #181.  This week, the challenge is a judged one and the twist, besides following the sketch, was to add two different ribbons.

Here is the sketch:

Here is my card:

My card base and mats are SU Taken With Teal and the patterned paper is from the My Mind's Eye Follow Your Heart Be Amazing 6x6 pad.  The main image is one that Paulette generously shared during the Create With TLC blog hop last Sunday.  I believe you can still find it on Edwina's blog here. I really liked the vibrant colors of the bird image over the black and white map.  I added two pieces of dyed seam binding for my two ribbons.  The Scrabble pieces, from a pack of Basic Grey Fact or Fiction Chipboard Stickers, finished my card.  It's not my usual style, but it came together quickly and will be a great one to add to my stash.

Thanks for stopping by again!  I'll be back a few times over the next couple of days to post my various DT cards.

Have a great evening and see you soon!

Little Miss Muffet - New Release

Good morning!  Happy Thursday!  Hope you've had a good week!  It's STILL raining here and we may even get some of the dreaded white stuff today!  This is Alabama!  What's up with that?  Anyway, when it's Thursday, it's time for my Little Miss Muffet DT post.  We've got a fabulous new release today!  It's being billed as a Valentine's Day release, but all of the darling rubber stamps in this release could be used for so many other occasions!  You are going to love them!  Check out the "What's New" section of the Little Miss Muffet shop to see all the new stamps!

Here is my card with one of the new stamps:

My card base and mats are Gina K. Bubblegum Pink and the patterned paper is Princess Promenade from Imaginisce.  My adorable image is Claudia's Tutu from Little Miss Muffet Stamps.  I used the digi version of the new rubber stamp.  I printed it on Make it Colour Blending Card and colored it with my Copics.  I added a bit of pink Stickles here and there  for sparkle and Baby Blue Liquid Pearls to the beads on her bracelets.  The sentiment is from Create With TLC.  It is from the Play on Words set in Paulette's shop here.  I cut off all but the "tu-tu cute" part of her word art to work better with my image.  I added a cropped pennant banner that I cut with the Little Miss Muffet Party Banner Die out of pink glitter paper.  A triple-loop pink gingham bow and a bunch of felt and vinyl stickers from my stash finished my card.

Here is a close-up of Claudia:

Thanks for stopping by!  Be sure to visit the Little Miss Muffet Challenge blog and check out the fabulous designs from the rest of the DT!  Don't forget, you still have until next Tuesday, January 22, to play along with our current Winter Birthdays challenge.  If you use a Little Miss Muffet stamp, you can enter as many times as you like and you can use "anything goes" as the theme.

The Sweetest Person I Know

Hi there!  Happy Tuesday!  Hope you are having a good day!  It's still pouring rain here, but I can't complain because at least it isn't snow!  Still, I don't really want to go out in it!  Before I brave the elements, I'm here with a quick post to share the card I made for the current Polka Doodles challenge.  There was another fun blog hop this week and again, there was a cute Emma Canning image given as a freebie to use for the challenge. My card is also for the Sunday Sketch and Stamp Challenge #139.

Here is what I came up with:

My card base and mats are SU Raspberry Ripple and the patterned papers are from the My Mind's Eye Love Me 6x6 pad.  I printed Emma's sweet Cupcake image on Make it Colour Blending Card and colored it with my Copics.  I added Star Dust Stickles and Crystal Snow Glitter to the cupcake.  The sentiment is from Create With TLC.  A simple stitched ribbon bow finished my card.

Here is a close-up of the image:

Thanks for stopping by!   Have a great day and I hope to see you again soon!

That's How I Roll

Good morning!  Happy Monday!  Hope your day and week are off to a great start!  It's cold and rainy here.  A perfect day to stay in and craft, if only I could!  Before I head out into the mess, I'm popping in to share a card I made just for fun.  It happens to fit a few challenges I like to do, too.

Here is my card:

My card base and mats are SU Baja Breeze and the patterned papers are from the Basic Grey What's Up 6x6 pad.  My fun image is California Rolls from MayzyArt.  You can find her in Mayzy's shop here.  I printed her on Make it Colour Blending Card and colored her with my Copics.  I added Stickles to her hair ties, belt and jewelry for some sparkle.  I also added Glossy Accents to the face of her watch.  The cute sentiment is from Create With TLC.  It is part of the Let's Do Sushi word art set in Paulette's store here.   Three Basic Grey Bling It gems and a purple double-loop ribbon bow finished my card.

Here is a close-up of the image:

Thanks for stopping by!  If I haven't visited you already, I'll be by later this afternoon when I get home.

I am entering my card in the following challenges:
MayzyArt Challenge #008 (anything goes)
Sweet Sketch Wednesday #188 (sketch)
Eclectic Ellapu (recipe: 1 diecut, 2 papers, 3 embellies and a dash of ribbon)

Here is SSW-188:

Create With TLC Blog Hop - For The Birds

Good morning!  Happy Sunday!  The day we've been waiting for has finally arrived! It's time to hop with Create With TLC!   Today, Paulette from Create with TLC is introducing her newest design team and as always, that means a fun blog hop filled with fabulous creations to inspire you!  The theme for the hop is "For The Birds".  Paulette has generously provided gorgeous freebies for you to pick up at every stop on the hop.  If you arrived here from Marsha's wonderful blog, you are in the right place.  If not, you'll want to head back to the Create With TLC blog and start the hop from there so you don't miss any of the team's gorgeous creations or the fantastic freebies!

I got to work with two wonderful images for my creation:

To download them for yourself, click on the images, then right click and choose "Save as..." and save it to your computer.

Here is my card with the images:

My card base and mats are SU Blue Bayou and Old Olive. The patterned paper is from the Bo Bunny Welcome Home 6x6 pad.  I printed the beautiful bird image on white cardstock and double-matted it.  The sentiment was treated similarly.  An Old Olive satin bow, a Webster's Pages Vintage Sparkler and a Wild Orchid Crafts Silver Filigree corner finished my card.

 

Thanks for hopping by!  From here, your next stop is Lisa Lynn's blog.  I know she has something gorgeous to share with you!   Enjoy the rest of the hop!
