Thank You for all you've done


 Welcome all to my blog. This posting is extra special for a few reasons. 
Today some of the MIC girls have an Inspirational line up of awesome creations to fit the theme of 
"A surprise gift for a friend"

Now if your coming from Aeryn's blog your right on track. I could just imagine the art work she's done sigh.... 
Don't worry the line up is very short lol! It's only a few of us doing the hop and now brings me to the sad part of my post

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


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

taking a breather.........sigh...

it's with heavy heart and with lots of tears believe me. To share that I have decided to step down from my Make It Crafty DT position. I've been through so much with them. Highs and lows, we had lots of coffee splatters all over our computers, we cried together, we LAUGHED, we TALKED!!!! boy does this team could talk, lol! 

You know how some DT groups could be a little or sometimes TOO quiet lol! well NOT these girls here. If you missed a day of not checking your messages from them. You must of missed @100 emails or comments easy and that's a day, lol!

The girls mean so much to me and have INSPIRED me so much you just can't imagine how much.

Later on I say my official good byes to the team and you could image how hard it's going to be lol! There were a few tears from me and them already LOL :(

Ohhhh my girls please don't forget about me and this card is dedicated to all of you. All the oldies and the newbies :)
Keep up the good work and we'll be seeing each other <3 p="">

Zoe......my friend my mentor. Know that I will always be around for you and if you need a product tester... I  got you lol! Thank you for having me and it's been an honor creating aside with you and the rest of the team.

I heart you girls.

How do I get rid off this knot on my throat and teary eyes :( just like Rosabella here.

this is a close up of just the coloring.


she looks more happy here right :)
My coloring is done with Spectrum Noir markers

 and it was requested from some of my followers, to please share the inside of my cards lol! 

but I also have a hard time with that lol! Sometimes I just don't know how to even start.

 A few black pearls, flat flowers and a coordinating tag for this one. I hope you like my card and thanks to all my followers for keeping up with my ranting and what not lol! 

I WILL CONTINUE to create with MIC product so please don't leave me just yet lol! I love MIC :)


Thanks for stopping by my corner and leaving me some thoughtful comments. Your next stop is my crazy friend Trudie lol! I wonder what she's done probably some rubbish project but I'm certain I'll be shouting DIBBS on it, LOL!! I know she's coming with rocks in her pillow case lol! Oh that was an inside joke.We had a farewell pillow fight for me ha ha ha. Ok now I'm talking too much so I better go :)

Enjoy the weekend peeps,
((tight tight hugs)) MIC CREW XOXO

Cutie Wishes for you


Hi all I'm back and it's my turn to share a cute Cutie :P 

One of the newest Cutie Pie rubber stamp images that just released and her name is Make A Wish.
 What gorgeous eyes she has right! They are just too adorable for words in my book.
I also had some fun times playing with the new Summer Sorbet Little Darlings design paper. A variety of summer rich fun colors. 

My image was colored with Alcohol base markers, Spectrum Noir and touched here and there with some sparkly Stickles"Stardust"
I have to say the layering of design paper is so much fun and gives you the opportunity to showcase both sides of deliciousness.
 Oh did I fail to mention the paper is double sided!! Oh yeah but of course it is :)

well friends thanks for stopping by and I hope I given you an idea how to color miss cutie here or ideas to use the LD design paper. Looking back a cute Bday hat exactly what she has on with the LD paper would of been so perfect. Oh man I need to go back and add a hat to this card now lol!

Well enjoy the week and hope to see you back soon. I have a VERY VERY special card going up on the 22nd for the MIC hop along with some info I need to share sigh.... I'll be back on Friday.

Lots of Love Ruby

Set your Heart on Something Beautiful

 Happy Day of LOVE!!! 
Hello and welcome to my blog for new comers. Today is a Valentine's Day and spreading the love is what it's all about. 
The morning start off a little crazy getting the kids ready fro school. When we woke up we saw my son's Valentine's goodies all over the living room and some have been already opened. No hesitation who we knew it was. OH YES but of course SOPHIA my little one. This chickie found it very easy to help herself to her brother's goodies for his class. 

I couldn't even get a word to her this morning...... the first she did when she woke up is give me a big hug and told me how much she loves me. 
Gosh ...and that's how she gets away with things around here sigh.... she has us wrapped around her finger. 
8AM doorbell is ringing mad! The neighbors brought Sophie and Lauren gift bags full of sweet stuff candy, toys, balloons and a stuff heart pillow. I couldn't get over the whole sweet gesture. 
The kids are the same age as them too. It was just so sweet!

Anyhow I wanted to spread a little sprinkle of Love myself by sharing my new creation for 
Saturated Canary Challenge. ( I picked the theme tehee) :) "Love scene" It could be a scene or a LOVE theme creation. 
I did have Grey Tie and Under contract in the works but soon just thought to put a hold on it lol! We'll just leave it for another time and for right now we'll keep it PG.


Ok folks be ready for loads of pictures as I gone mad as usual. I used Roses are Red,Violets are Blue, used the boy from Puppy Love duo and set the scene using MIC Tree of Love.
You could find direct links of the images down at the bottom.
You could click HERE and go shopping at Saturated Canary Online shop.

Here are a few pictures of the coloring alone before I decorated it.

Solos of the kiddos


I hope you like my scene and yes I used Spectrum Noir markers. I will add the recipe at the bottom. With such a big scene I'm sorry If I forgot to note any color combos but I only wrote down what I remembered as I was going. 

Well it's time for me to get ready just in case I go somewhere special like the grocery store *_+ but before I sign off sadly Sally didn't contact me for the MIC Gumnut flower girl card and the runner up is

 Tracy Payne... 

My MIC teammies had some good laughs from your comment lol! This is what Tracy said.

G'day Sheila. This is a dinkum card. Chuck a shrimp on the Barbie, get some dead horse, some amber fluid and plonk in the fridge, I'll be right over!
Hugs yer Pom mate Trace.

Make A Wish



I am happy to come back today and share the new changes and as well share my take for the challenge over the Magnolia-licious challenge blog. 

Are you ready for this???? GUESS WHAT!!!!

Magnolia-licious is now bringing in Wee stamps and are already in stock at the Magnolia-licious store HERE. Make sure to pick some up while they are on sale 10% off till Feb 14th. 

A couple of more new things happening around here but to get the whole 9 yards go over the challenge blog and get the full 411. I might give you the wrong info and we don't want that lol!

Today we are starting a new challenge, the senior DT and the challenge team have merged together to showcase a feast of creations from all sorts of ideas and give you a versatile perspective of the Magnolia stamps and friends(Wee and Magnolia mini) :)

 I also heard you may use Wee stamps or Magnolia in the challenge so how about that!!!! YEAH! 
So make sure to go check out the new challenge for a more thorough explanation of the challenge rules. Click HERE when your done here of course lol!

Also here is our new banner you are welcome to download and save it on your blog. The scenery that our talented teammie, Norma did is so sweet right!

Ok going along.......Right the new challenge theme is "Birthday" and I went with a Z fold card and I used #231 Summer flower girl Tilda masked with #435 Summer Cake. 
Colored with Distress Inks and DI markers.
Here is the inside of the card
and this is the back of the outside.
I kept telling my husband that I really like how it turned out and the details were just too cute lol! 
I didn't want to part from it..... he looked at me with a puzzled look lol! (he doesn't understand anything related to crafting lol) 

I was going to add it to my stash to sell but this card needs to go to someone that would really appreciate it and I KNOW they will treasure it. Anyways I didn't give her a bday card so it's due to her. My 7 yo niece that I'm slowly getting her into card making tehee, shhhh! I still have her christmas present here and I have created her a kit with the basic tools of a card maker whohooo!!! 
I just need to see the munchkin and she knows she's in for some good crafting goodies. The other day she told me she's anxious to come visit and we'll try her best to convince her mom lol! That was two weeks ago :( I yet to see her but hopefully this weekend for sure.

Anyways I leave you with my Z-fold card but I will be back on the 14TH for a special card and I will announce the new winner for my MIC Gumnut flower girl card. 
Miss Sally never did contact me :( 

Ok take care and see you back soon.
Love Ruby

Birthday wishes with Crystal

Hey guys I'm back!  
Today I want to share a special card I  made for my sister that's been bugging me for one. I just didn't think she would want one of my cards. The other day she gave me an ear full and I felt bad so a long over due for her lol!

I inked up my Crystal in rubber and  decided to watercolor this time with the combo of Distress inks and Derwent watercolorinng pencils.  I layered up lots of pretty paper and with so many pretty embellishments following a pink/light chocolate mousse palette. Something I'm not use to but I like the result.

A few pictures to share.
MIC Crystal bday card




MIC Crystal bday card 2

A have a tendency to add dark shadows when I watercolor but I think that gives it a life like effect don't you think? Well thats' it for me today and hopefully will see you back soon. 

Before I Leave I need to announce

and the winner to my MIC Aussie Gumnut flower girl card is .......
