Little Miss Muffet Challenge #74 - Seeing Dots

Good morning!  Happy Thursday!  Hope you've had a good week so far!   I can't believe it's already Thursday again!  I have a follow-up appointment with my surgeon today and hope that he will give me the go-ahead to add back a few of my normal activities.  We'll see later on this morning.  Right now, I'm here with my Little Miss Muffet DT post for this week.  We have a new challenge for you this time.  The theme is "seeing dots".  We want to see dots somewhere on your project.  The adorable Polka Dot Pals give you the perfect start to this challenge, but anything dotty goes!

Here is my card:

My card base and mats are SU Blue Bayou and thee patterned papers are from the Carta Bella Winter Fun  and Teresa Collins Santa's List 6x6 pads.  The cute image is Polka Dot Pals Issie from the new release at Little Miss Muffet Stamps.  I colored her up with my Copics and added white glitter to the snow and the trim on her cap.  I added a cloudy sky with my Copics.  The circle sentiment is from Create With TLC.  Some Blue Bayou stitched ribbon and a sparkly SU crystal snowflake finished my card.

All Spruced Up

Hi again!  I'm back with another quick post!  I was feeling pretty well this afternoon so I put together a vintage Christmas card to add to my stash.  I used another pre-colored vintage image from my files so I didn't have to sit and color.  All I had to do was design, glue and go!

Here is my card:

My card base and mats are GKD Fresh Asparagus and the patterned papers are from the My Mind's Eye Vintage Christmas 6x6 pad.  The sweet image is Snow Girl with Topiary from The Graphics Fairy.    I added a bit of Shabby White Fran-Tage to the image for some texture.    The sentiment is from Create With TLC.  It was from Paulette's recent Winter Club.  If you have never done one of her Clubs, you are really missing out! You get lots of fabulous digital images, sentiments and papers sent every day right to your mailbox.  Check out the upcoming Club here.  I added lots of pretty embellishments to my collage: a Silver Vintage Metal Corner, Wild Orchid Crafts Ivory Roses and Red Berries and some vintage lace.  A triple-loop seam binding bow, a pearl spray and a metal dove that I also Fran-Taged finished my card.

Let The Party Begin

Good morning!  Happy Wednesday!  Hope the first half of your week has gone well!  I am popping in quickly to share a card I made for one of my niece's birthday.    I haven't been able to do much besides my DT cards these days, so I was glad to get this one done.

Here is the card:

My card base and mats are SU Cranberry Crisp and the patterned papers are all from the Carta Bella Beautiful Moments 6x6 pad.  The image is Willow Dressing Up by Elisabeth Bell for Whiff of Joy.  I don't see her in the WOJ shop right now, but I chose her when I won a WOJ gift voucher recently.  I stamped her on MiC Blending Card and colored her with my Copics.  I added some Golden Rod Stickles for some added sparkle.  The sentiment is from Create With TLC.  It was also colored and "Stickled".  A few roses that I won from one of Jacque's Sweet Stuff offerings finished my card.

Here is a close-up of the colored image:

Thanks for stopping by!  I hope to be around to visit this afternoon if I haven't been by already!

Little Miss Muffet - Super Saturday

Good morning!  Happy Saturday!  Hope your weekend if off to a great start!  It's absolutely gorgeous here these days!  We've got warm temperatures and beautiful foliage!  Got to love Autumn in AL!   Anyway, I am popping in to share my DT card for this week's Super Saturday at the Little Miss Muffet blog. As always, we have a freebie, a spotlighted stamp at a reduced price and inspiration from the Little Misses for both!

The freebie this week is Stacked Pumpkins.  It's perfect for this time of year!  I didn't have a chance to create with this one, but I did make a card with the spotlighted stamp, Sugar 'n Spice Dolls Sage.  The Sugar 'n Spice Sentiments are also spotlighted.

Here is my card:

My card base and mats are SU Marina Mist and the patterned papers are from the Carta Bella Alphabet Junction 6x6 pad.  I colored up Sage with my Copics.  The sentiment is from Create With TLC.  A taffeta bow, a button and a few gems from my stash finished my card.

Alcohol Markers Challenge - The Outlawz

Good morning!  Happy Friday!  Hope you had a good week, a great Halloween and you have fun plans for this first weekend in November!  It's going to be more of the same for me, resting and recovering, but we've got a couple of things planned that are within my abilities, so I'm looking forward to that.  Anyway, I am here now to share my DT card for this week's Alcohol Markers Challenge at The Outlawz site.  The theme this week is "pumpkins".  We are celebrating Pumpkin Toss Day!  I bet you didn't even know such a day existed!  Well, it does and we are celebrating by including pumpkins on our creations.  Please remember you must have some coloring with alcohol markers (any brand) to enter the challenge.

Here is my card:

My card base and mats are SU Tangerine Tango and the patterned paper is from the Bo Bunny Autumn Song 6x6 pad.  The fun image is Cinders from Saturated Canary.  You can find her in Krista's store here.  I printed her on MiC Blending Card and colored her with my Copics.  I added a bunch of Crystal Stickles to her gloves to make them sparkle.  The sentiment is from Create With TLC.  An olive satin bow and a few pearls from my stash finished my card.

Here is a close-up of the colored image:
