For Mama...

Happy Monday everyone! Ready for a new challenge from Lollipop Crafts? Well this week, it's MAMA MIA!! Just create card/project for Mother's Day! Visit the LC blog for more details, and our sponsor this week is Meljen's Designs!

For my card today, I have Mei Li from Sister Stamps. I won her awhile back (from Jenny) and was inspired by my fellow DT Leanne's post here, so finally I inked her up!

Mei Li's pretty outfit is lined with golden sparkles using Stickles. Kept the layout fairly simple against the pretty washi paper. Added a nice green border on the bottom and the edges inked with a golden orange MS ink pad. The sentiment is from Penny Black, which could be for any occasion.

Card Supplies:
Image - Mei Li (Sister Stamps), sentiment (Penny Black)

Happy Monday..

Hope everyone had a great weekend... the first week of 2012 has come and gone! I'm so glad you can join me today to welcome back Lollipop Crafts from our winter break! We're ready for a new and exciting year, and our first challenge of the year is the ANYTHING GOES with a NEW twist!

Be sure to check out the LC blog for all the details and some gorgeous projects from both teams!
Here's my card to share with you...

The "NEW" features are paper from Jillibean Soup, and a new clear sentiments stamps set I got from my friend, Leanne, who happens to also be on the LC team! Picked a few of the sentiments and stamped it randomly on the yellow cardstock for the background. I also tried a "new" skin color combo... my friend, Amy, has a bunch of GREAT tutorials on this blog... where I visit very often!! Followed the Friday Spy Day #14 challenge on FFC... cased the layout of the featured card. Cheeky Chat is colored in copics... isn't she just the cutest... with her pink phone!!

Wee Stamp on Sept C.A.T.S.

Hi everyone! Hope you all had a fabulous Thanksgiving weekend! with lots of good eats with your family! and for my friends not in the US.... hope your weekend was a wonderful one too! Today I'm kinda going backwards to share this card/tag set I made for my Sept CATS partner, Leanne. If you haven't seen her awesome creations, pop over to visit her here... where you'll find an inspiring groove! ;D
For Leanne, I used my new Wee Stamp that I won from one of the Whimsy Stamps release hops. She is so, sooo cute!!!

The card followed an old sketch from Papertake Weekly:
 colored the cute Winter Fairy with Copics, used BG Eskimo Kisses paper, flowers from Joy, sentiment stamp from Inkadinkado, snowflake punch from MS, ribbon from my stash, and loads of stickles! Here's a close up of the card...

It was fun to make this matching tag

which was inspired by Mariska's amazing bottle tag here... if only mine turned out half as gorgeous as hers!! lol! OMGosh... all her projects are in 3D! just check out her amazing blog! Anyways, the image was cut and framed with a round nestie and eyelet circles nestie.  The little sentiment tag was cut using a nestie ribbon tag die, but cut in half. Ribbons, flowers, and pearls are all from Michael's.
ok...that's it for me today. check out Leanne's and Mariska's blogs... they are awesome!

Thanks for stopping by! ;)

Happy Halloween!!

It's Monday..and that brings us a brand new challenge at Lollipop Crafts...

Anything Goes!

The sweetest witch ever is from TGF's halloween collection... and I made a slide out treat holder that can hold a single candy bar or what I did was made a little sleeve for inside and put four mini candy bars...

This sweet treat went out to my October Secret Sister (click here if you want to sign up) along with my other halloween card here. I hope she enjoys them! The sentiment is a freebie from The Twinery, MS spider punch, and the gorgeous paper is from my August SS and fellow DT member, Leanne! She is the sweetest and look at the gorgeous card she made...

Now...pop on over to LC blog to see more from the DT... although we don't have a sponsor this week, we hope you can join the FUN!! and a big THANK YOU to Linda for guest designing during the month of October. It was such an inspiration to us all!

Have a safe a Happy Halloween!!!

FFC - Monday FunDay #5

Celebrate with Creeper Jack

Hi all! Did everyone have a good weekend? It's Monday and time for a brand new challenge at Lollipop Crafts.  This time we challenge you to MAKE IT MASCULINE !  Our sponsor this week is Digital Delights...

and one lucky winner will receive 3 images of their choice!

My biggest challenge is to make masculine cards, but this time it came together pretty easy. Thanks to my DS (it was for his birthday) and my AugSS swap (TGF's Sweet&Toxic from Leanne).

Last year, my DS chose all the details for his birthday card, so for this year, he wanted to use Creeper Jack again, but with a change of clothes! The layout was loosely based on a sketch by Deconstructing Jen, if you ever need a sketch this is THE place to go! Added some buttons too, so it fits the FFC to Button It Up!

August is always the busiest summer month for me. With vacations, birthdays, and getting ready for school again, the days just go by sooooo quick!! There's one more week of summer vacation for the kids, then it's back to school and that means more quiet (and craft!) time for me!!

Thanks for stopping by! ;)
