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.  😀
 

Valentines Bear

Ever since I added the Mason Jar to the LMMS store, I’ve wanted to use it on another project.  I found Valentines Bear which was the perfect size to hide in there.  Even though it’s a Valentine’s image, I wanted to go with a more generic color pallet.  So this one was inspired by my daughter’s kangaroo toy, which is teal with a pink flowered belly.  I selected a non-Valentines paper pad, this one was Simple Stories Vintage Bliss.  It worked well with what I had in mind.  After I finished coloring the bear and jar, I tried to add sparkles on the glass with a white pen but I don’t think that worked out very well so I tried to cover one with a gem.  LOL  Lastly, I used some lace, ribbon, gems and Make it Crafty chipboard for embellishments.  …and that’s how this project came to be.  Hope you like it and thanks for dropping by my blog today.  😀

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!

Elisabeth Louise Hatter

Happy New Year everyone!  While I’m off enjoying the wilderness, I can imagine the hustle and bustle back home.  But even though I’m missing out on the parties, I thought I could still schedule a post to go live in my absence.  This card was created using Elisabeth Louise Hatter and I love how the colors turned out. The paper was a bunch of scraps that magically worked well together.  🙂

The new challenge at LMM Challenges is Something Blue – you can do weddings, winter, or whatever just as long as it’s blue!  Hope you see your creations.  🙂

Thanks for dropping by and have a wonderful week!

Polka Dot Pals Neva

Little Miss Muffet Stamps is sponsoring Barne Mix back in November as they shared various articles.  The theme was “Winter, Snow and Christmas” and I created this card using one of my favorite Christmas stamps.  😀  This was colored using Marvy Le Plume markers and I’ve listed the colors below.  Then the card was put together to resemble a large package.

The stamp I used on this project is Polka Dot Pals Neva from Little Miss Muffet Stamps. This is one of the cards I colored at Scrappin Goodtime when I was teaching a class.  Here are the colors I used:

Yellow: Y627, 624
Brown: E859, 858, 855, 853
Greens: YG649, 647, 645, 642
Skin: OR827, E853, OR820
White: AG877, 875, 873
Red: PV778, R818, R815
Extra: V742, 747

Thanks for coming by today and I hope you’ve caught up on all your holiday cards this year!
