Sparkle Creations November Preview Day 2

Hello all! So did you all get a chance to see Charlotte? Isn't she pretty? Well, today we have another preview to show... Mistletoe Lucy!! All new stamps will be available at the SCRS store Saturday Nov 10th!

Followed the layout from Sketch For You To Try, colored Lucy up with Copics, and papers are from Echo Park Everybody Loves Christmas. Used White Liquid Pearls all around Lucy and the mistletoe berries. The MS snowflake punch (and a mini craft punch) layers were punched from red textured paper, kraft paper, and matching Echo Park paper, then sponged with white ink, covered with stickles, and finally a pearl gem in the center.

Be sure to visit all rest of the SCRS designers for more peeks of Mistletoe Lucy. Sparkle will be giving away to one lucky person! For a chance to win, you need to comment on all of the designer's blogs (list below). Then head on over to the SCRS blog and comment on the Mistletoe Lucy post. You have until midnight EST tonight to comment. The lucky winner will be announced on Monday!

Birthday Bash Blog Hop

It is Miss Christine’s Birthday and we decided to have a party! We are doing a blog hop just for her. If you came here from Silvie's blog you are in the right place. If you didn’t you may start here at the All That Scraps blog. You don’t want to miss any of this party. :)

It's been amazing to work for Christine on the All That Scraps Challenge Team. Every month we get to create with some of the most adorable images from CC Designs. One of my new favorite characters is Beatrice, so on my card for Christine, there's not only one, but two sweet Beatrices...

Ice Cream Beatrice and Lolli Beatrice are both from the July2012 release. They are just so sweet! Found a sketch at SFYTT, and the papers are from Cosmo Cricket's Crica 1934. There are also a couple of lollipops cut with the CC Design Cutters Lolli. "Sugar coated" the lollipop  and sprinkles with Stickles. Amy R's birthday sentiment adds just the perfect message!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHRISTINE!!

Hope your special day is filled with many happy memories!!

Next up on the hop is Francine. If you get lost along the way, click here for the complete blog hop list.

Thanks for coming!!!

Hello friends! Today at Lollipop Crafts, we are spotlighting our sponsor The Stamping Boutique...

It's noisy, but she loves them all.Her "Boutique" has it all - fairytale, whimsy, sentimental . . . and Candy! 
Here's what Tracey says about her Stamping Boutique. 
"The Stamping Boutique" is dedicated to quality products and original artwork. We not only provide wonderful digital images in our store, but also several lines of red rubber images. Our designers are chosen for their character and personality, as well as, their beautiful designs. We work hard to give you our very best. Thank you so much for having us as your sponsor this week.

TSB was very generous to let the team ink up some cute digis. Do you ever wonder how fairies dry their fairy outfit? Well, take a look here...

Isn't that the cutest laundry line you've ever seen??? You can find this digi image here, and a few other laundry lines too! I tried a couple new techniques today... first the glitter on the wings and the fairy dust bag are done with this technique shared by JayJay. Then I finally tried the cloud masking technique for the background... it's been soooooo long since I first saw this technique, I forgot who has a tutorial on it. I'm sure one or two will pop up if you "google" it. ;D

So get on over to LC blog to see more inspiration from my awesome team mates, and join our challenge to win yourself some adorable digis from The Stamping Boutique!

Image - Fairy Princess Laundry Line (TSB digi) Sentiment - Inkadinkado

Animal Crackers...

Hi all! I have a fun card to share with you today...

All That Scraps is having review week of January's release! The adorable monkey is from the Animal Crackers line and is available in both rubber and digi stamp at the ATS store. Followed the sketch from SFYTT, and colored with my Copics.  Some more new paper, this time from Lime Twist and snuck in a scrap from Basic Grey. The double stamped birthday sentiment was actually a mistake... the white by itself didn't show good, so I tried to stamp black on top of it. Well obviously I missed, but not bad... it looks like a shadow effect. :)

Head on over to ATS blog for more spectacular projects from the team! and there's a brand new ATS color challenge! Play along for your chance to win 5 digi stamps of your choice!

Supplies:
Image - Monkey Zoo (ATS digi), Hero Art (sentiment)
Spellbinders - Stand Circle Large, Classic Scalloped Circle Large
Copics - monkey: E08, E00, E02, E13, R59

present: BG10, BG13, B00, YR00, YR02, YR07

Others - Memento Ink, G Studio Ink, Ribbon (from Michael's), Sakura Clear Star
