Little Miss Muffet - New Release

Good morning!  Happy Thursday!  Hope you've had a good week!  I've been very busy so far and haven't had much time for crafting, but the weather has finally improved and it seems like Spring again!  Love it!  Given that it's Thursday, you know I'm here to share my DT card for Little Miss Muffet Stamps.  This week, we have a new release that I'm sure you are going to love as much as I do!  It's called Forest Friends and has so many cute critter stamps, as well as some fun scene elements that work perfectly with them! You can see all the new images in the What's New section of the Little Miss Muffet store!

Here is my card:


My card base and mats are SU Island Indigo and the fun patterned paper is from the October Afternoon Woodland Park 8x8 pad.  I used three images from the new release - Trevor Tortoise, Orlando Owl and Rachel Rabbit.  I printed them all on Make it Colour Blending Card and colored them with my Copics  I added some Glossy Accents to Trevor's spectacles.  I cut them all out with my Cameo and also cut mats for them so they'd stand out in my forest scene.  The sentiment is from Create With TLC.  Some chocolate stitched ribbon finished my card.

Here are close-ups of the images:

Flower Power

Hi there!  Happy Monday!  Hope you had a great weekend and your week is off to a terrific start!  The weather here has been ugly for days - rainy, chilly and windy!  Looking forward to that nice Spring weather we were having earlier last week!  I managed to visit my craft room a couple of times over the weekend and I now have a card to share that is for a few challenges I like to do.  A lot of them had a similar theme - "lots of flowers" - so that worked out well.

Here is my card:


My card base and mats are SU Pool Party and the pretty pastel patterned papers are from the Authentique Spring 6x6 pad.  My adorable image is Merry Weather from Elisabeth Bell's Digital Collection.  I printed her on Make it Colour Blending Card and colored her with my Copics.  I added a soft cloudy sky and some grass again for my Spring scene.  She is framed with a Spelbbinders Decorative Labels One diecut.  I added some lace and a triple-loop satin bow with a silver charm (thanks, June!).  A bunch of flowers (mostly Wild Orchid Crafts) and a spray of pearls (thanks, Lori!) finished my card.

Here is a close-up of the image:


Thanks for stopping by!  I promise to try and visit later this evening after Dancing With The Stars!

Copic/ProMarker Challenge - The Outlawz

Good morning!  Happy Friday!  Are you as happy as me for it to be Friday?  Hope you've had a good week and you have fun plans for the weekend!  I am going to attend the CKC scrapbook show on Saturday!  Yay!  It's the first time it has ever been held in Birmingham and hopefully, the interest and turnout will bring it back here in the future!  Anyway, I have that to look forward tomorrow!  But today, I am here to share my DT card for this week's Copic/ProMarker Challenge at The Outlawz site.  It's our first challenge of May and the theme is "the birds and the bees".  We want to see birds, bees, or any other bugs on your project.  Just remember, you must have coloring with alcohol markers (any brand).

Here is my card:


My card base and mats are SU Night of Navy and the patterned papers are from the Little Yellow Bicycle Just Because 6x6 pad.  My fun images are Audrey and Spider and Tuffet from Little Miss Muffet Stamps.  I merged Audrey and her tuffet and printed the merged image on Make it Colour Blending Card.  I also printed the spider on MiC card.  I colored them both with my Copics.  They were cut out with my Cameo and matted on Night of Navy.  The Spellbinders Fleur de Lis Rectangle diecut is also from Night of Navy.  The sentiment is from Create With TLC.  A triple-loop bow of Riding Hood Red taffeta ribbon and a button with some Baker's Twine finished my card.

Here is a close-up of the images together:

Little Miss Muffet Challenge #60

Good morning!  Happy Thursday!  Is it possible that another whole week has rolled by?  It certainly is hard to believe, but indeed, it is Thursday and time for my weekly DT post for Little Miss Muffet Stamps.  We have a new challenge starting today and the theme is "pieced off".  We want to see some paper-piecing on your project.

Here is my card:


My card base and mats are GKD Turquoise Sea and the patterned papers are from the Echo Park Everyday Eclectic 6x6 pad.  My adorable image is Ginger from Little Miss Muffet Stamps. She is part of the Sugar 'n Spice Dolls collection.  I used a digi version and printed her twice, once on Make it Colour Blending Card and once on another patterned paper from the same pad as the background layers.  I colored her with my Copics and paper-pieced her scrubs. I added white polka dots to her headband and silver accents to her clipboard, instruments and name badge with a Letraset Metallic Marker. I cut her out with my Cameo and popped her up on a Spellbinders Lacey Circles diecut.  I used my SU Scallop Edge Punch for the horizontal panel.  The sentiment is from Create With TLC.  Some Ice White Pearl Pen accents, a few blooms and three gems from my stash 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 check out the fabulous paper-pieced creations from the rest of the DT and our wonderful guests, Jen, Kimberly, Yoshira and Petra!  You have until Tuesday, May 14, to enter your project.  If you use a Little Miss Muffet or any Pollycraft image, you can enter as "anything goes" and enter as many times as you'd like.  If not, please follow the theme and enter only once.

Celebrate Every Day

Hi there!  Happy Tuesday!  Hope your week is off to a great start!  Mine has been busy so far, but the weather is gorgeous and that makes a big difference!  I'm on my way out so this will have to be brief, but I'm here to share a card I made for a couple of challenges I enjoy doing.  I haven't had much time for extra projects so I was happy to get this one done.

Here it is:


My card base and mats are SU Bermuda Bay and the patterned papers are from the Echo Park This & That 6x6 pad.  The cute image is Pricilla Pie from Saturated Canary.  You can find her in Krista's store here.  I printed her on Make it Colour Blending Card and colored her with my Copics.  I added "pearls" to her hair and jewelry with my Viva Decor Ice White Pearl Pen.  I added a bit of Yellow Stickles the center of the flower in her hair and the ring on her finger.  The sentiment is from Create With TLC.  I used a Martha Stewart Edger Punch for the horizontal panel.  A turquoise crocheted flower and a few Recollections roses finished my card.

Here is a close-up of the colored image:
