Not your typical Fairy.

Happy Sunday, folks!!

I hope you are all having a wonderful weekend so far! Here in California, the weather is mild and it rained for a short bit yesterday. No complaining here though as I know our friends on the East Coast and Midwest are experiencing mega chilly temperatures.

For my project today, I have a card for Time for Tea Designs' newest release. I've used Flower Fairy 1 - she's got a bit of shorter hair and I've used her for my little sister's birthday card.

Now, my l'il sis is not little at all -- of course, she's three to four inches taller than me and she's a full grown woman. But, y'know, I will always call her that :). I had to step up my game here as she is a graphic designer and has such a great eye for design.



Usually, my fairy cards are ultra-femme and has a lot of flowers, both of which are not to my sissy's liking. But I had to work with this image and had to stay true to the digital stamp's theme as well. Thought Amy Tangerine's scrapbooking lines were perfect. They still have foliage yet they're linear so I think my hip sis would approve.



Well, I better catch some Zzzz's before the little babe wakes up. Hope you get to visit the T4TD blog for more inspiration.

Thanks for visiting,

To go along with this reminder blog post, I created a card that summed up the past week! It was my birthday, and I used Birthday Balloons. From an Easter celebration with my fam, a couple of dinners out with dear friends, and a trip to Disneyland, it was really a stellar week to remember! And this stamp is perfect for it!

I love her girly girl outfit, and I've colored her up nice and bright! I used patterned paper from one of my fave current lines - Plus One by Amy Tangerine and added baby mix sequins from Some Odd Girl and ribbon from my stash.

It's like a party on a card, don't ya think??

Love,

T4TD's First Love.

Good evening, peeps!!

I had already made my hubby a Valentine's card but when I saw Time for Tea Design's First Love, I knew I'd probably change it.

She is just so cute, and her hair is fabulous! I decided to do ombre since I've always loved that style. But I've also been too chicken to do it to my own hair. I also wanted to try out these graphic designs on her 'jeggings.' I can't pull it off in real life, but I think it looks awesome on her. I drew the triangular and dotted shapes with a Copic multi-liner.



And I just LOVE Amy Tangerine's new Plus One line... the sentiment is from that. Isn't it gorgeous? I love that it looks hand-written! I also re-purposed the envelope tissue paper from Kikki K's packaging and did some fringing. The textures add some dimensions.

See you all in about an hour (my card for Milk Coffee is up next :)),



P.S. My husband doesn't really look at my craft blog. Hope he doesn't start now :).

Lists.

Happy Monday, peeps!

I've got a card for you featuring Time for Tea Designs' New Year Resolutions Digi.

It's a bit early, but I am so inspired by all the planner/ filofax pics on Instagram about decorating your planners! I, myself, love to make lists and still carry paper calendars even though my iPhone is always at my side. There's nothing more satisfying than having that pen hit the paper and seeing your month ahead of you. Please tell me I'm not alone (or crazy! Haha!).

When I saw her with this long list, it made me think of all those times I've made lists. Decided to even use a stamp made for planners (those lines on the tag) by Studio l2e - plan it. There was this one time, I was in class and I made a list on the notes section of the handout. My friend saw it and she added a # 4. It went something like this:

1. Wash dishes.
2. Sort out clothes and pack for trip.
3. Call post office.
4. Take a poop.

BUWAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAH!! Haha, Melissa!!!!

And the paper clips are by Kate Spade's new office line (the gold ribbon) and from Studio Calico (the arrow). The papers are from Shanna Noel's Print Shop line and the letters are Amy Tangerine.



By the way, I make lots of New Year's Resolutions too! I just don't keep up with them come February! LOL!

Stitching Love & Arrows.

Hello, peeps!

Are you all having a wonderful Memorial Day Weekend so far? I'm working today, but was off yesterday, and we had a big party for my mom's birthday. And then, I'm off for a couple days again after today and am still kinda planning on what to do for the actual Holiday. How about you?

For today, I've got a card for Christmas Card Challenges # 26. This week, you are to do some stitching on your project. Don't worry... if you are sewing-machine-illiterate like moi, you can also just draw your stitches. I had fun with my card and used Amy Tangerine's sewing template for the squiggly arrow and word "love." It is so easy to use!

I'm so glad that I actually stitched on my card. I really love that look and always get bummed that I can't do it on my cards or scrapbook lay-outs. But the template makes it possible and fun!

Remember that CCC's weekly challenges are optional. The only real rule is to make a Holiday or winter-themed card. Hope you can join us!



And, sadly, this is the end of my term at CCC. I've been on the DT since the end of 2011, and I've decided that it's time to move on. I really enjoyed making Christmas cards throughout the year. It has been tough, but so well worth it at the end. I've also liked the flexibility of virtually using any product you want and just conforming them to the week's challenge at hand. Thank you so much, Sparkle, Stephanie, and Alanna for giving me the chance and being such great coordinators! And also to all of you who have visited my blog and joined in on the challenges. I will miss posting Holiday cards every Sunday. :(

Enjoy your weekend,
