Spotlight: Meljen's and a Special Card...

Hi all! Just here to share a card, or two, with everyone. At Lollipop Crafts this week, our sponsor is Meljen's Designs. They have some irresistible sweet images, and the prize up for grabs this week is 4 digis of winner's choice!!
For my card, I chose the Mushroom Mouse. He is soooo cute reading his book under the BIG mushroom!

I also used my new Whimsy Sentiments Collection stamps...they are so fun and perfect for all birthdays!

Here's a close-up of the cutie...just love that adorable tiny ladybug!

I have a special card to share today. My 10yo son decided to color along with me to showcase Meljen's Designs. He loves dragons because he was born in the lunar year of the Dragon. So he chose "Dragon's Little Friend" image to color using Copics, and picked papers from the BG Oliver collection. With a little help from me, we put it all together and came up with this...

Here a close-up of his awsome coloring job!

Sorry for the long post ... thanks for stopping by! ;)

LOVE is everywhere...

Guess who I found hiding. . .Miko from TGF's Roll Call Kit. Don't you think she's the perfect cutie for a valentine card?  This week at Club Anya's Mystery Monday is a gorgeous card by Linapyssel! Here's my version of the fun layout. . .

Using one of my favorite color combos, pink and green, I colored Miko in copics and just gave her a slight shimmer on her dress and bows with Sakura clear stardust pen. The heart and key punch is from Martha Stewart, perfect for the journal paper called Love Letters from Little Yellow Bicycle. Used a strip of hearts from Basic Grey's Olivia papers, pink cardstock is embossed with a cuttlebug folder, background cardstock is randomly stamped with AmyR's sentiment set, and the hearts and stars banner is a border stamp from Recollections (found at Michael's).

Here's a little tip for those who don't have many colors of floss or baker's twine. . .I used a kraft colored hemp cord and inked it with green chalk inkpad. Now I have the perfect twine to tie my buttons!

Holiday Cupcakes...

Only 11 more days until Christmas!!! Went shopping this weekend with the kids and DH, got a good start, but much more to do!! Well, gonna make this quick so I can get more holiday crafts done. To start, I was planning this for the Lollipop Crafts Challenge, but missed the deadline :( ... so went over to Meljen's challenge, and it was a perfect fit! Color challenge #37 is to use red, green, and gold - very traditional holiday colors!

I used the cupcakes trio and holly leaves, both freebies from Meljen's. To make them holiday cupcakes, I added a red ribbon and popped on the tiny holly leaves! Used plenty of stickles and shiny gloss accents to make it all spakly!

I also found a new challenge over at Sundays with Crissy. She has adorable, sweet images, but this challenge is open to use any image with a winter theme!

Thanks for stopping by! ;)
