Mini Sprites in the Cupboard!

Happy Tuesday everyone!!

Today is C.C. Designs' day to highlight the oh-so-cute stamps of Make It Crafty, and today I've got a card featuring one of the mini sprites!

Isn't she so pretty? She reminds me of The Littles, do you remember that cartoon? So I thought I'd pair her up with mason jars as she is so tiny. She's playing in the pantry here :). I thought these printables from Shanna Noel are just delightful with her! (I love everything SN does!).



Have a gorgeous day!!

Daydreaming...

Good Thursday morning, folks!!!

For today, I've got a Time for Tea Designs card to show ya!

I, unfortunately, haven't gotten my printer fixed so I am showing you a digi stamp from last month's release -- Daydream Believer. She is just sweet and pretty! I love her outfit and hair. I tend to color most of my characters' hair black (because I have black hair), but am trying different color combinations here.

This reminds me of a story when one of my BFFs, Mars, said she didn't know how to day dream. I said, "WHAT?!" I told her look out the window, get lost in your thoughts, and just take a minute not to do anything else... and then let your mind take you where it wants to go!! I couldn't relate because it seems like my head is always in the clouds, LOL!



I love these puffy heart sayings stickers from Skipping 5. Thought they'd go perfectly with these papers from Shanna Noel's Print Shop. I've gotten a lot of cards from this paper pad. I just adore how versatile they are... you'd never think I was using these same papers for this week's cards!! Since I needed to make a lot of projects this week, I was just reaching out for the supplies I have on hand. You see, I'm really bad about crafting in my craft room..I tend to bring my supplies out to the family room. And scrap/ make cards while I watch TV and the kiddies play.

Anyway, I hope you all have a great day!

I'll see you soon!!

Last Preview Day for C.C.Designs' March releases.

Top of the mornin' to ya!!

Today's the last day of March previews over at C.C. Designs, and it's Sweet November time!

Amy Young's Sweet November Bunny Tails are truly perfect for Spring and Easter. So much so that I wanted to include them in my Project Life*. This project is a 4x6 journal card.



I was mostly inspired by these colorful bunny Peeps I spotted online. I was drooling over them as I am trying a low carb lifestyle right now, and also admiring how pretty they were! Enter Copics and these images and voila! My very own Easter low carb option :).

Since I already had Shanna Noel's Print Shop papers out for another CCD project, I used up the scallop designed paper. The colors pretty much matched up although I truly didn't plan it that way. I thought it was quite pleasing to the eye and was a nice surprise!



Added some cute stickers and of course, the flowers had to show up somewhere -- it is a Spring card afterall! Used a date stamp to document when Easter would be in my Project Life album.

*(If you haven't heard of PL, it's basically a different way of scrapbooking. Created by Becky Higgins, it's mostly putting in cards in a pocket protector system. You can view more info here).


Hope y'all have a stellar day!!

March Previews Day 1 for CC Designs.

Good morning, everyone!

It's my first post on new previews there at C.C. Designs, and I'm so very excited!!

Today, I'm showing you cards previewing the new C.C. Designs releases for March. They will available on March 6th, 12 noon EST, and I hope you visit the blog for more DT previews!

Here's a project featuring Snail:



Snails hold a special place in my heart right now because of the movie, Turbo, that my youngest absolutely loves! I wanted to use up a color combination that was new to me though, and I was lucky enough to find these papers from Shanna Noel's Print Shop line. I think they are perfect for the subdued, simple, but interesting look I was trying to achieve with this garden snail.




Thanks so much for visiting, everyone!! I hope you all have a great rest of the weekend!! And don't forget... the BIG day is March 6th for the reveal!!

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!

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!
