Grandpa’s Rocker

Check it out – I just posted all the details for Week 2 of our Birthday Release Party!  This is one of the stamps that is being released this week and I couldn’t wait to use it.  

For this project I’ve used Grandpa’s Rocker rubber stamp from Little Miss Muffet Stamps.  I love this little guy… er, I mean old guy.  Plus you’ll also spot the Cupcake & Books stamp also from LMMS (which is currently a freebie).    Both of these can be used in the Birthday Release Challenge – just sayin’.  😀

The project turned out better than I had thought and I am surprisingly happy about it!  The papers I used are Paris & Co by My Mind’s Eye and Little Boy Blue from Crate Paper.  I’ve started to mix the paper stacks and sometimes I get lucky.  See that ticket stub in there?  I’ve been hanging onto it for years and I’m so happy to get rid of it finally!  LOL  Thanks for coming by today and have a great weekend!

Skelekinz Love

It’s here… and it’s nearly here!  Today is Friday the 13th and tomorrow is Valentine’s day – I thought that was such a fun combination to work with that I created this card!  Oh’yeah!  On this card I used Skelekinz Love rubber stamp from Little Miss Muffet Stamps.  I colored her in sweet Valentine colors and went with a more normal look than my previous attempt with the same stamp.  I love this one so much better – I feel redeemed!  LOL  I also used the Birds on a Wire metal die from Little Miss Muffet Stamps in the background.  I hope you you’ve been inspired and thanks for dropping by today.  😀

Ladybug Garden

There is a new challenge starting on the LMMS Blog and the theme is Anything Goes – a perfect challenge and excuse to share your projects.  😀

For my project, I used the Ladybug Garden in rubber available at Little Miss Muffet Stamps.  Even though this isn’t a Valentine’s image, I couldn’t resist getting some pink and reds out to create another card for this weekend!  I’ve actually colored this image twice!  And no, you haven’t seen the other one before… after coloring most of it, I lost it.  It’s still somewhere between my car and craft room!  LOL  Some day it will turn up and then I’ll have a chance to make another one “just like this one”.  He he he

Fancy Sunbonnet Love

I’ve been having fun with all the Valentine colors this week and surprised myself with another project!  This one uses Fancy Sunbonnet Love rubber stamp from Little Miss Muffet Stamps.  I couldn’t resist coloring the package a kraft color, all ready to be shipped!  I also used another medallion that I created with some white sealing wax and a metal L-O-V-E press.  The letters were also made which I go into details a little further down.  Hope you like it and thanks for coming by today!  *Hugs


I created the letters using air-dry clay and a flexible mold.  After shaping the clay in the mold, I allowed it to try and pressed them out. To give them some color, I used my Copic markers to color the letters blue.  Then for some sparkle, I used some Art Anthology stuff to goop on.  After that stuff dried clear, I was able to glue the letters to my project – and that’s the story!  They turned out better than I thought.  😀
 

Rainboot Bugs

There is a challenge opening up at Little Miss Muffet Challenges and you’re going to love this one!  LOL  The theme is “All You Need is Love” and we’d like to see your creations.  And this is one that I actually participated in.  😀  

The image I used is Rainboot Bugs in rubber available at Little Miss Muffet Stamps.  The papers were scraps (I love cleaning up the desk) and the rest is history.   Hope you like it and come on over to play in the challenge!

Fancy Sunbonnet Lucky

Little Miss Muffet Stamps is sponsoring Fab ‘n Funky Challenges this week!  The theme is “3 Embellishments” (either 3 of one type of embellishment  or 3 different types of embellishment).  I’ve used three different types of embellishments on my card… resin flowers, lace and pink pearls.   Come on over and join the fun!!

The image I used is Fancy Sunbonnet Lucky by Little Miss Muffet Stamps.  I also doodled around the paper and on the background with a black pen.  If you’re familiar with this image you might wonder how “Lucky” it is!  But I’ve covered the shamrocks with the roses and converted this image from a St. Patrick’s Day stamp to an all around greetings image.  Clever right?  Yes I think so and thanks to Melissa for the idea!  😀
