Holidays are coming...

Good Morning peeps! Hope you all had a fabulous weekend... I had to work, so not as much craft time that I had planned on. But I did get to finish my card for a new challenge this week for Lollipop Crafts... Make a CARD with NO SENTIMENTS ALLOWED!

My card features Cookie Emma from C.C. Designs. She's dressed in her black velvet holiday outfit and having a warm sweet chocolate chip cookie. The color inspiration is from ATS new monthly challenge called Show & Tell with C.C. Designs - black, burnt orange, and tan. This gorgeous paper is from "me&my BIG ideas" line... an old set of paper pad I got a loooong time ago, that has tropical summer papers. But this one kinda just fits into what I wanted... holiday in the tropics!
I wanted to add some more embellies, but this one is going to Kris for her card drive that she is doing with her aunty. YAYYY! I made one...LOL... but I will be making more with my kids! If you would like to help bring a smile to a child's day, click here for more deets.

This week Lollipop Crafts challenge is being sponsored by Robyn's Fetish. Be sure to stop by the LC blog for all the deets and see more inspiration from the team!

Thanks for stopping by! ;)

Anything is Possible...

Happy Thursday! Wasn't it just Monday yesterday?? hehee... the days are really going by so fast! So hang onto your seats because today on Lollipop Crafts we have our sponsor spotlight on...

Barbara, the owner, shares some info of how it all started...

Little Miss Muffet Stamps was inspired by a house full of Little Miss Muffets and arachnophobes alike. It isn't too difficult to image how I ended up here since I've been drawing and coloring from the moment I picked up a crayon. Now as I sit in my hobby room I get to share my passion with my own Little Miss Muffets who love to work along side of me.

My motto is still "A stamp a day keeps the stress away" and feel free to visit my gallery at ForgottenScraps.blogspot.com for daily inspiration.

There are so many adorable image to chose from, and my card features Monster Love...

He is so adorable and so much fun to color! Kept the layout pretty simple this time...BG Oliver paper, sentiment stamp from Verve, felt flower & buttons from MM, and a little bit of Twine too!
 
Stop by the LC blog to see more gorgeous samples from Barbara and the Lollipop Girls. There plenty of time to join current challenge... find out all the deets HERE. The prize this week is aa $10 GC from our wonderful sponsor Little Miss Muffet Stamps!

Halloweeeeeen....

Hello everyone!! Sorry for going MIA, but I've been recovering from health issues, and I'm so glad to be back!! And just in time for Lollipop Crafts new Monday challenge...HALLOWEEN!!!! Create a card/project with anything Halloween related, and you're in!

My card today features TGF's Ian as Hallo Skeleton...

Over at the Farm, the final FFF challenge for the current team is to case any of the DTs. It's was so hard to pick one designer, they are ALL so fabulous!! But I ended up chosing 1LUVNMAMA and her card HERE. Mama's super talent always produces amazing work, just check out her blog! She's become a good blogging friend, and her beautiful projects always inspire me. But mine never comes out quite like hers! LOL!
Thanks to a fab tutorial by Amy Young at Color Me Copics, I TRIED to color Ian's face using the zombie skin technique. But not having the colors that Amy used, I had to improvise and used E00, W1, W3, and BV23. I also added a touch of YG00 along the edge of the mask and skeleton bones to make it look "glow in the dark".  Now that I look at the picture, I should have darkened his suit a bit more. Think I'll do that before I give it away yet to my October's Secret Sister. Can you believe it... I'll be early this month! LOL!!

Sorry for the long post...but it's been a while! hehee! Time to go over to check out more fabulous eye candy from the Lollipop girls, and all the deets on the current challenge. Our wonderful sponsor this week is Meljen's Designs

A Warm Hello...

Happy Monday!! The start of another week and a new challenge at Lollipop Crafts! Today the "A Team" wants you to create with BRADS or EYELETS!! Don't you have a bunch of those things ...laying around somewhere... maybe everywhere like me? hehee! Well it's time to dig them out and make use of them!

On my card I used brads that look like buttons! I had these for the longest time... one of the first embellishments I bought. Well, it's perfect for this card with the cutest Strawberry Fairy from SN stamps

Colored her up in copics and stickles on her wings and strawberries. Doesn't it look like fresh dew on the ripe sweet berries? YUMMMM.... Oh guess what came in the mail... TWINE!!! I couldn't resist to get all the colors in the sampler pack when The Twinery had their anniversary sale! Guess you'll be seeing them more often in my projects... if I don't end up hoarding them! lol!

Our sponsor for this week is Di's Digi Downloads and they are offering a fabulous prize to one lucky winner! Be sure to check out the deets the play along with us at Lollipop Crafts... and some of the gorgeous projects from the team!

Hello Friends...

Did you see this week's FFC's Mystery Monday with Amy Young? If you haven't, check this out...

The card she made is sooo darn cute, as ALL of her cards and Sweet November designs are always inspiring! Make sure to visit Amy, you'll be sure to get lots of sweetness!
Onto my card...

I chose to case the way Amy made cut-outs of the images. Instead of button shapes, the four Anyas are cut with a nestie, and each girl represent the seasons winter, spring, summer and fall. And who doesn't need a friend, all year long! Added some gorgeous flowers (candy from KrisP), stickles in Crystal Ice, and got this sentiment from Studio G at Michael's.

Well gonna keep this short...have a ton of things to do!

Thanks for stopping by! ;)

Swiss Pixies Nora...

Hi everyone!! Today I have a quick post for a last minute challenge over at ATS using a photo as inspiration. This is something I've wanted to make for a while now...

a magnetic post-it note holder!

Laying Nora was the perfect Swiss Pixie for my note holder. Colored her with Copics and a bit of Clear Star gelly pen. Used some BG Olivia paper scraps, tied a small bow on top, and glued it all on a coaster chipboard with a magnet on the back. Simple and fun!

Here's the ATS photo inspiration:

There's a new challenge blog Young Crafters Unite!

and their first challenge is to color up a stamped image. Check it out here!

And one more challenge this fits into is PIO #36 - Anything that begins with B and there's my little BOW!
