Stamp With Fun #100 Sketch time and put on your Sunglasses!!


HEY I'M HERE! I hope you're wearing your sunglasses because this one is a bright one. Well I'm late posting because i had a day out shopping for copics yesterday.I found none of the ones i needed and ended up buying other nice colors so it's OK i guess.I did get other goodies from the art store like some brushes and charcoal pencils.Another reason I'm late posting is because i was waffling with my teammies(Make it Colourful) instead of coming straight over here to post my late card lol!!!
((WHISPERING)) Oh you guys are in for a nice surprise coming from Zoe-licious shhhhhh! Don't tell her i told you this because it's my NECK!!! Zoe is always working on something new i tell you lol!
OH YEAH I WAS HERE TO SHOW YOU MY CARD FOR Stamp With fun LOL!!
This weekly challenge is a Sketch by the talented Tina. This time we are sponsored by Cute Stamps and Cards so make sure you stop by and check out the rest of the team and the yummy prize.
I also wanted to tell you i was having a ball reading all the comments and stories left on my last posting.I mean from missing eyebrows ,Crisco grease,tricking their grandma's to get a haircut,cutting clothes and cutting fringes was the popular one lol! I mean they were all hilarious and it brought more memories reading them all.
SHHH! Here is another story about my daughter, Krystalyn back when she was @3yo (now a 14yo) One day she put on cream like she regularly does when she gets out the shower. OK well i started smelling a funky odor and when i saw her face full of of this thick white cream that wasn't BLENDING OUT!!! I screamed and THANK GOD I noticed early enough before it took effect. My poor baby had put on NAIR hair removal cream all over her face :( thinking it was her baby cream.Since their both pink bottles and the same size she must of grabbed the wrong one.Till this day it gets brought up over and over and we just a get a laugh out of it.
Today has been a waffling day for me so sorry lol! Anyways here is a looksie of my new card.I hope you like it and tell me what you think.If you look behind her i kept the sketch and still incorporated a small scene.
I used will you be my valentine Magnolia from the ,"You are so special collection" .You could get it at the Magnolia-licious store and it's in stock now!!!!

I JUST LOVE ADDING LITTLE BOWS ON MY MAGGIES LOL!


I stamped a tag from the little mini Studio G $1 stamps i picked up at Joann's and it says ,"For You".
Oh i forgot to tell you it's a tent card too.


Did you like it???

ABC CHALLENGE O is for.....

Morning peeps! Well it's time for another challenge at , ABC CHALLENGE.
Well the letter this time is for O for OVAL!!!!!! Now how easy peacy is that! So no excuses it's time to play with us lol! I decided to do a gift set and alter a candle.The candle was just siting there alone looking at me.Ok i was planning to redo the pictures because some came out blurry but when i woke up this morning.I realised my hubby took the set to work because i think his boss wanted to give a small gift to his GF. So i didn't have a chance to retake :(

Sorry for the blurry pictures and poor quality on the color.Brace yourself i took many pictures lol!!!!


Oh btw i sprayed the whole card and candle with Tattered Angels Irisdescent Gold. I used Tilda with Big Ribbon that i got a Diana's store,"Magnolia-licious".




NOW!!!!!!!! I wanted to share with you what my 2yo was doing while i was doing this set! I thought she was working on a project.I saw she had a coloring book,crayons,glue stick and kid scissors.I saw her sitting down with her back towards me.It looked like she was really in concentration mode.I got up and went in my room to watch something and my 5yo ,Lauren YELLS! ,"Mom sophie is cutting her hair"!! I didn't jump up because my dd is known to jump into things lol!


Well then she went to the room with a hand full of hair.I jumped up to go check on the after math. I must be very intimidating i heard her tell her older sister ,"she's going to get me"!! and literrally threw herself under my son's bed!!! I have to admit i laughed when i heard her say that.I have never heard her say those words in a complete sentence lol! I pulled her out and the front of her hair was chopped in layers.I wanted to laugh,cry and the look on her face.I knew she was sorry lol!!!!! I had to hide every single pair of scissors in the house.EVEN MINE!! SIGH...... I guess she gave herself her first hair cut.Oh yeah through out the day i kept finding more strands of hair hidding in corners of the house.I think she hid and chopped some off and went to another corner.((shaking head))

By far my 2yo has broken the record with mischievious stories of them all.The worst is at the end of the day she is sleeping next to me .Oh sweet talking and kissing me.That little girl is SOMETHING ELSE LOL!!!!!!!!Thanks for reading and hearing me vent lol!! I tend to do that now and then:)

OH OH one more thing i promise is short....


I wanted to help my friend pass the word on her journey she has taken and trying to achieve.Pamela is a sincere person and trustworthy.Pamela is participating in the ,"Race for a Cure" she needs all the help she can get.I will greatly appreciate if you take a peek in her blog for all the details.I thank you soooooooooooooo much and Pamela does too.



Pamela wishing you luck and can't wait to hear more on this journey:)

Hello peeps! Here i am again with my new creation for Stamp with Fun. This week theme is ,"LOVE". I received some Hanglars Stanglars by one of my besties so i was eager to get them colored and finally got a chance to :) My post today is short because I'm a little tied up. I have family over and somehow I ended up hosting a super bowl party. So with that being said if you have time to create something romantical.Make sure to join us for a chance to win some cute candy.Also if you have a sec stop by and take a peek of what the team has created on the translation of LOVE.

It hurts me to use my laser hearts from Make it Crafty.If i must then what better card than this one right :) They are so versatile i just love them.



I hope i inspired you to join in the fun. Looking foward to visiting your gorgeous creations.Thank you all for your lovely comments.Enjoy your coming week,RubyM:)

Make it Colourful #5 Blending Blue/Purple

Hello peeps! Well it's time for another challenge at , Make it colourful.We have a wonderful sponsor this week and was very excited to use one of their images from Karen's Doodles.The challenge this week is blending blue and purple together.I used it on the birds ,clouds and on my cute God's Angel from Karen's Doodles.I thought it went well with Highway to heaven from MIC.I think the little angel is so cute but i lost many of the lines while i printed her so i had to use my copic liner to get some of those lines back then i realised the lines were too bold GRRRR!!!!! I just went over here and there.
I WISHED I HAD GOTTEN A BETTER BRIGHTER PICTURE !If it's not one thing it's another huh?!!

So your wondering why i didn't add green around the rocks lol! Well this is how i see it, i figured it was a dry highway to heaven baaahaaaa!!! No for real i am freaking BLIND and didn't realised there was meant to be GREEN on there.I saw it like the edge of a mountain?? Well when i realised i had messed up it was too late.Now i know for next time :)
My copic colors for the technique are
BV04,BV11,BV23,B02,B000,BG10,O,Warm 9

I have a few pictures to share with you on the day after our blizzard.As you can see the girls were a bit shock to see how high the snow was. That's Krystalyn my 14 yo teen, Lauren on the left my 5yo and Sophie my 2yo baby.

Sophie couldn't move she was scared and more than anything stuck lol!

The snow came up to the third step so their up high lol!

Sidewalk still wasn't cleaned only the driveway coming out.That could give you a better visual of the amount of snow :)


and Lauren rolling on the snow.


Ok that's all for now and stay tuned tomorrow for my Stamp with Fun post :) Don't forget to visit the most talented group of coloring artist out there to pick up some of their techniques and tips.

Thank you friends for all the wonderful comments.I really enjoy reading them lol! Enjoy the weekend,RubyM:)
