Let Them Eat Cake!!!

Hello all!!

I really love this Mae Antoinette (aka Marie Antoinette) image from Some Odd Girl. If you don't know who M.A. is, she was the Queen of France and led a very rich and indulgent life. So I made a really over-the-top and delicious card!!!



And if you'll excuse me, I'll be eating my card now! Buwahahahahaha!!!!

Embellies are from Jolee's Boutique, Martha's Stewart, and random Kawaii stickers I own! Isn't that background paper perfect too? Her story had a dark side afterall!!

Aurevoir!

Milk Coffee's the Little Mermaid.

Hi all! Long time, no blogging! So sorry about that! The mojo has been low and I was slowly getting back to reality from our vacation.

I do have some wonderful news! And that is I made it into the Milk Coffee Design Team!! Wooo hoooo!! Milk Coffee is based in Indonesia and their digital stamps are some of the cutest I've seen! And I love how versatile their line of stamps are... from Manga-style to chic to funny!

I am on the Challenge Team, and the challenge that starts today is Fairy Tales. I made a card out of the freebie, the Cute Mermaid, and you can find her in this post.



What I love about Milk Coffee is that they're constantly giving away free digi images! Isn't she pretty? I colored her to look like Ariel, the Little Mermaid. She's my favorite out of the Disney princesses! :)

When I was about 8, I remember my Dad coming back from a trip to Japan or Korea. He had brought home a cartoon movie for us called The Little Mermaid. It was the same story but had a tragic ending. I think this was when I started becoming a hopeless romantic. I loved that cartoon and still remember it!

Remember that the Milk Coffee Challenge runs for two weeks! You can use any stamped or digi image you want but the creation has to be new. And you have to link it back to the Milk Coffee blog. Also, you can't enter more than three times. For a full set of rules and to see the other DT's creations, please go to today's blog post over at the main blog!



My card is a bit different than what I usually make. It's got a lot of mixed media elements to it. The background "ocean" paper is from the Shanna Noel class I took a while back. We learned to paint with water colors, and I actually made it. I was super proud that Shanna herself said it was quite good. **swooooon**.

And the folded up border is a paper towel I painted too, from Traci Bautista's class years ago. The washis and anchor are from Glitz Design.

Thanks so much for visiting!

Circus!!

Happy Hump Day, peeps!!!

I am quite excited to show you my card today featuring these wonderful images from Time for Tea Designs. Circus Hoop and Pasquale the Circus Pooch are so awesomely adorable, and were on sale to help raise money for Weston Park Hospital Cancer Charity in England. Jo was able to raise 1600 pounds!

I was quite glad I helped contribute and get these cuties in return. I've always had a warm spot in my heart for Circus-themed things. Ever since my son's first birthday party:).

I saved these papers and stickers from that party. I think my plan was to make thank you cards but I never got around to using them!



Well, I've got to skidaddle on now!

Hope you have a great day!

He makes my dreams come true... or supports me when I strive to do it myself! :)

Hi all!

Well, I finally finished my DH's birthday card. I meant well and finished coloring these Some Odd Girl images a week ago. Genie Gwen and Genie Kody are perfect to depict my hubby and me.



My hubbs is pretty much my best friend. And although, at times, he is resistant to what I want..in the end, I always end up getting it. Because he either gives up or makes my dream come true. Hehehehe! So, yes, the genies are perrrrrrfeecttoooo!



Currently, I am pretty obsessed with setting myself apart from other crafters. What is my style? How can I be more unique? When I couldn't find the exact patterned paper for the card (even though where I stopped to shop -- Paper Tales -- in San Diego was totally cute), I decided to make my own. I wanted it to be all smokey! :) I used some gelatos and my metallic rub-ons on textured cardstock. Voila!!








Have a wonderful Monday night!!

Orange, Green, Purple, and Black!

Hello, everyone!

It's time for another Yumi and Fumi Handmade Challenge -- in light of Halloween, the challenge these two weeks is a color combo of orange, green, purple, and black!

Here's my take using AJ Lion - this line of Kigurumi kids are perfect for Halloween!



Team Yumi is showcasing their cards/ projects today, and Team Fumi will be doing theirs next week. Remember that you have about two weeks to play and can use any stamped images you like. However, you get bonus points for using Y&FH stamps (they are so cute and awesome to play with!).

For more inspiration and all the rules, please visit the Yumi and Fumi Handmade blog. Thanks so much for visiting!!

Happy (almost) Halloween!!
