Little Darlings Winter 2011 relase

Hi I'm back and playing catch-up as usual.I have so much to color as I'm doing that right about now along with laundry :(

I should have a few projects lined up this week but today I want to share with you one of the newest release from Little Darlings.

The stamp is called," Catching snowflakes"available at Love to Stamp store.While you're there you could get some looksies at the rest of the new release HERE. Oh they are adorable and perfect for this holiday season too!!! Oh and guess what their rate at a special price too UHHHHHH!!! LOL!

I must admit my card doesn't appear as cool as it is in person, ROTFL!!!

The silver flakes and swirl cuts are super shiny.

I've noticed that it's an eye catcher with the kids.It might be because of the metallic cuts??LOL!

Anywhoo I've used my DI to colour this cutie.If you like to get some more eye candy be sure to visit the Love to Stamp Store Blog.You'll be able to catch some more eye candy from the design team.

ok folks thanks for stopping by and I'll catch you again very soon :D

Ruby.

Little Darlings #12 THANK YOU

 What a week it's been so crazy around here.I'm trying to get through Thanksgiving and I might still have my sanity LOL!

Oh this time of year is so stressing for me because not only do I have the holidays to worry about but I have bdays for my kids lordy lordy lordy head hurts....

Lauren's Bday already passed on 11-11-11 isn't that cool!!! My son's bday is on 11-25-11 so right after Thanksgiving.

I remember when he was born 8yrs ago it was Thanksgiving Day and my family didn't celebrate anything until I got out of the hospital.Yup I brought them my own turkey he weight a whooping of 12lbs lol! My only boy and the biggest till this day he's still a bit of a chunky monkey, lol!

To the relief that I already celebrated both of their bdays together this year.We gathered up all the kids from the family and friends and took them cyber bowling.

We had pizzas,cake etc.... and then went for a real dinner celebration at home.

So I'm THANKFUL I'm still alive and celebrating special occasions and always having support from friends and family with me.I have a long list but with all the wining I do I am thankful we all have each other :)

BRINGS ME TO THE CHALLENGE RIGHT LOL!

The new Challenge at Little Darlings is Thank you.
Note to remember 
To enter the challenge you don;t have to use Little Darlings images, but if you do, you could win a $20 merchandise gift voucher to the Love to Stamp store. If you use any other stamp you could win a $10 merchandise gift voucher.

Ok so here we go I created my first tag lol! I keep giggling about it because you won't guess what I've used as a base LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I wanted something more sturdy other than cardstock.Since I'm organising stuff for Thanksgiving dinner I was in  the kitchen and saw a box of cornbread stuffing (mind you i'm not using that it was given to me)

I took it apart and assembled it covered it up with cute paper and whala my first tag and sturdy as can be lol!

I almost didn't make this challenge because of all the running around I've been doing and still not done grocery shopping.I always feel so guilty wehn I don't create something and

 DO YOU THINK I WOULD OF BEEN ABLE TO EAT COMFY KNOWING I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING FOR THIS CHALLENGE??! NO!!!!!!!!!!! LOL!

I'm glad I played though and was really in the zone when and didn't want to stop lol!

OK TAG

Little Darlings image Sooo Big coloured with copics with my E70,71,74 and E49. I know it comes out looking like black and white but it's a sepia tone.The camera is not picking that up.Don't you hate when that happens??!

My dotted flower was created with my Magnolia Doohickey peony die and also used Magnolia doohickey Swirl butterfly die.

OH I forgot the back part I used Antique lace doohickey die.The back is also embellished but very basic. You could find those dies here at Magnolia-licious.

sooo Big close up

Uh I was really into colouring his hair this time lol!He has little strands sticking out like alfalfa lol!

JK  JK LOL!

Ok that's it and hopefully you could jump in and play with us.

It's a Christmas Hop With Wrapped and Unwrapped Tilda

Hello I hope you have enjoyed the Magnolia-licious Highlities Hop.

If you are just stopping by and if I could convince you to play along you want to start at the Challenge blog.There you will find full information regarding the hop and prizes!!! Oh I'm sure you should do the hop as my teammies have done an outstanding job.

If youy came from the master of flowers that would be Patti Jo than your on track lol!

 ((I love Patti's flowers lol)

Just a little info I could tell you is

Along with the blog hop we will also be doing a “Count the Snowflakes” contest as another way to win some candy.You may want to put on your glasses because my flakes are pretty darn small.

So the Challenge for this time around is

  '"Anything but a card" and we had to use both 'Mini Wrapped Tilda' and 'Mini Unwrapped Tilda'

Here is my presentation...I want to thank my teammie Patti Jo for staying up with me at the wee hours figuring out ideas what to do for the hop lol!

I slept on it and the following morning I had it and it wasn't so hard to do and yet both Maggies play an important role on the tree,YEAH!!!!!!

Mini  Wrapped Tilda sitting as a tree topper all glittery and Mini unwrapped Tilda opening xmas pressies as she should :)

They were both colored with DI and my tree was created with the help of my Scor-Pal :) Oh yes and the paper is Magnolia too.

Important for you to know I'm letting you know because my tree has snowflakes and you might get them confuse with the digital ones that are hidden on the project.

The ones you should be looking for are white and TINY and my flakes are silver some could stand out as clear too.

This is the back of the tree

Ok that's it for me today and thank you for playing along the Hop.

I hope we we're able to inspire you and join in the fun.

Little Miss Muffet Stamp New release

 Here I am again with some new images to show you by Little Miss Muffet Stamp Line.I had a play with these girls and if you want to see what the other ladies came up with make sure to stop by right here.

This is my take and did I ever fall in love with this one.Her name is Audrey and I have to tell you she reminds me of my Lauren.I guess it's the hair and the dimples I coloured in for her lol! You might not see it so well.I really really did like this one Barbara :)  

Oh look what I did to her clothes lol! I drew in flowers to match my paper LOL! You could find her at the Little Miss Muffet store here.

*********************************

Now here is another cutie and this one gave me a laugh because the minute I seen her I thought I have the perfect sentiment for this one lol!

I was anxiously waiting to use it can you tell lol!!!!!

Her name is Hope and I'm not sure which way she goes because she was actually flipped upside down and if you visit my friend Barbara she has her the other way.

SO what I was thinking Hope is trying to make herself weight less by simply having the scale fall into her???

IDK whichever way you can't help but Giggle lol!

You could find Hope here.

That's gonna be me after Thanksgiving watch lol!

You should make your way to the Little Miss Muffet store and see what else you could pick up as she has some really adorable images.

Well I hope you like my cards and again Thank you for the wonderful comments that ALWAYS make my day.

Have a wonderful weekend.

Make It Colourful... Winter Night with Dalecarlia Coat Tilda

Hi me again and with a card for Make It Colourful new Challenge Light source from a lamp,candle or get creative and surprise us :D

I was happy that I coloured my oldie but a goodie Tilda with Dalecarlia Coat.I could never get tired of colouring her. For some reason I think the challenge is not that hard guys.Many people get intimidated stepping out your comfort zone but you need to give it a try at least.

My tip is definitely start of with your light colours and what helped me was drawing in my lines with a pencil creating my light.You could always erase those lines later.

LMBO! or you could put a flashlight behind your card of the lantern,candle etc and take a picture of it.

IT WILL BRIGHT UP FOR SURE LOL! NO NO NO that's cheating lol!

but I tell you what that helps too I did that as well.

To enter your creation you could go HERE the new MIC GALLERY.

Ok ladies and Gents this is my take

there's a Magnolia Doohickey Vintage Tag behind the image and the border of the image is dripped with texture white crackle paint and glitter.

                                   close up of Dalecarlia Coat Tilda standing next to
MIC Festive Element Lantern

I hope you like my card and if you have any questions regarding the card or a technique on my card.Please go ahead and ask I'm happy to help.

Oh btw the shadows were created with my warm set of Letraset Pro markers.

A reminder also don't forget we have the Inspiration picture Challenge at Magnolia-Highlities running right now and these are the colours to one of the pictures so If you wanna play jump right over there HERE.

Magnolia-licious highlities Nov DT Challenge

Hiya friends it's time for another challenge at Magnolia-licious Highlities. Oh boy because I wanted to try a different technique, colouring with very light lines on a stamp image.For instance you stamp an image with a very light brown or grey and so for.The result is really cool!!

The only problem I'm blind as it is and colouring #161 Mini Lightning Edwin ,LOL!!!!!! Well you know the hard time I had.

I also did the same thing on my Magnolia #568 Winter forest Christmas background and drew in spurs to add texture :)

Reminder MIC has a texture challenge going as well :)

Here are the pictures for this challenge that my friend Angie(Scrap girl) picked for us to help us get inspired.

here is a closer look to my # 161 Mini Lightning Edwin from Magnolia-licious store  and Christmas background which I only stamped two trees.The actual stamp has three of them just fyi.

I hope you could join us and I can't wait to see what you came up with.

Have a great coming week!
