Roberto's Rascals are having a party!

Hello, hello, hello!!

And welcome to Day Two of the April previews at C.C. Designs! Today, it's all about Roberto's Rascals. They are just the cutest kiddie images!

I'm featuring two today, in one card. This is Cupcake Henry and Cupcake Nancy...oh, aren't they so oh-so-cute?! I just love love love them!



Again, I used Cake Walk from October Afternoon and went for a more vintage vibe with this card. Doesn't it look like a cozy, l'il party?? :)

See you here tomorrow, same time, same place!

Spring and Easter at TGF.

Hello, hello, hello!!

It's time for new projects featuring The Greeting Farm's new and current print and cuts file - Hoppy Easter.

The DT made a Spring-themed creation as well as an Easter Project Life one. The kit definitely works for both! Here's my Spring one... I made a card using Easter Bean, which is exclusive in this digital kit:



Isn't she adorable? She is so much fun to color! And her dress is too cute! Do you all dress up for Easter? I try to find an outfit that is fresh and a l'il flower-y, if not pastel-colored. I do the same for my boys! I hope to do it for my hubby this time around, but he does not like to dress up (boo!). I used to not care for pastels, but I must say that I've been loving these soft colors lately. Tried to incorporate all of my current fave Spring colors here.



And for my PL, here are pics from Easter 2013 decorated with the Daily Life components. I really like how this kit is so versatile and so there are tons of ways to combine these designs!



I have yet to include any journaling, but as you can see, the pics pretty much tell the story. Below are my parents with their grandkids. It's next to impossible to get a great group pic of toddlers and babies, right? :)



Please make sure you visit the TGF blog and the rest of the Print & Cuts DT: Claudette, Cynthia, and Sui Lan!

Toodles,

April Release, Preview Day One at CC Designs.

It's almost the beginning of the new month, and you know what this means? It's time for C.C. Designs' stamp previews!

For the first day, I'm showing you Party Olivia. Isn't she darling? She, and the rest of the April releases, will be available on April 3rd at 12 Noon (CST).

For this week, I'll be using a bunch of vintage-looking party-themed patterned paper from October Afternoon (Cakewalk). I love this line and had been hoarding it for a while :). But thought the April releases were so sweet that they needed something special. Plus, it's such good timing because my birthday is in April, LOL!



But I ended up giving this card to my colleagues. It wasn't for their bdays though, it was to greet them for a Happy Recreational Therapy Month! :)

Hope you get to visit the CCD Blog as well to look at all the different creations!

See you all very soon!!

Hugs and a Giveaway!

Good Saturday morning, everyone!!

How are you all doing today?? Well, here in Cali, we are having rain and little earthquakes (YIKES!). But other than that, I am so very glad it's the weekend!

Today, I've got a card for you from Time for Tea Designs! My project features Hugs, and she is super cute! I wanted a chance to color in some stockings with the bit of skin showing through so I decided to match her hair to the stockings :).

I used up my stash of Amy Tangerine's Ready, Set, Go line. I love how it's about traveling and packing and documenting life... pretty much what I love! The chevron part is actually a pocket envelope!

I'm including this handmade card in my Crafty Instagram giveaway. If you're on IG, please follow me at @rinnesbliss. And to be eligible for my giveaway, repost the pic, tag me, use hashtag #rinnesgiveaway and follow!

XOXO,

Welcome Spring!

Good evening, peeps! It's Wednesday night here, which means it's Thursday morning in Indonesia where the lovely Milk Coffee digital stamps originated!

The challenge for the next two weeks is Welcome Spring!

Isn't this image so darling? She will be a new release at the MC shop soon! I don't know about you but I am totally relaxed and could feel the breeze and the tickle of grass on my feet just by looking at this. :)

It's actually Summer-themed but I added lots of flowers for that Spring-like feel. It works, don't ya think? The felt flowers are from my crafty friend, Cathy. They're fab!



And I'm quite proud for doing purplish tones... it's the hardest color for me to work with / match. But I really do like how her lilac 'do came through. Reminds me of this fashionable chica.

Hope you all get to play along! Please view the Milk Coffee blog to see the other Design Team members' creations!

Have a wonderful and crafty day!
