Wow, what a week this has been with most of my family, including myself, harboring the flu.  I’m not quite ready for today but luckily I had my project completed a while ago so I actually have something to share.  ;D  Needless to say, there are lots of picture but not much text in this post.  😦  This is for the latest Sketch Challenge at Little Miss Muffet Stamps and you’ll have to head on over to the LMMS Challenge blog to read about all the details.

The main products I used on this project are as follows:

I love how the diecut door came out on this project – it looks so inviting!  😀  Thanks for coming by today and I hope you have a wonderful week.  Hugs

Spencer’s Garden

Here’s a fun card that I thought would be appropriate to share today since it’s a holiday and my family is home relaxing and playing in the backyard.  It’s full of fun summer colors and has a simple layout too.  The stamp I used is Spencer’s Garden from Little Miss Muffet Stamps and drawn by Pollycraft. 

I used two diecuts in my collection, the grass and the reverse-scalloped square; plus a little sewing around the edges and some ribbon.  I colored the image with Copic markers on Neenah paper.  Here’s a close up of the image and also how I did the background with dots…

I’m starting to experiment with my color combinations and mixing up the color groups or reaching for markers that I don’t use very often.  I’m pretty familiar with the entire brown and gray ranges but it’s been fun to see how the other colors work out.  Thanks for coming by today and for those who are on holiday I hope you’re having a wonderful time!

Birds on a Wire Diecut and Mint

I wanted to share a project I made with the new Little Miss Muffet Diecut named Birds on a Wire which was released yesterday!  I used the diecut five times to fill in the background and any birds that I cut off I ended up adding them back into the scene at various places.  The diecut is 6″ across so it can be used on many different size cards.  Plus since the birds are spread apart they can be flipped and combined like I did on this project.

The Little Miss Muffet Products on this card are as follows:

The image was colored a while ago so putting together this card was quick and easy.  I’m excited to be able to use the diecut on many of my projects so be watching this spot for more samples.  😀  Thanks for coming by today and make sure you scroll down to the next post and participate in the Blog Hop for lots of prizes and inspiration!  Have a great weekend!

I’m excited to announce that Bugaboo Stamps will now start appearing in rubber over at Little Miss Muffet Stamps!!  It’s been so much fun working with Jodie and I’m thrilled to share from project with you today in this monumental Blog Hop!!!  So come and join the fun!!

You should have arrived here from the awesome AUDREY!
(For the full list, you can visit HERE.)

For my project I used Sunbonnet Dock Fishing from Little Miss Muffet Stamps in rubber form and drawn by Jodie from Bugaboo Stamps.  I colored it con kraft paper with Copics and kept the design simple – after all, I’m always… always lacking male happy birthday cards!  LOL  I have an abundance of girl stamps so coloring one for the boys is always a much needed adventure.  😀

Poorly Chester

Oi… it’s Monday!  This has been us this past week – all stuffed up with allergies and sinus problems with a few infections here and there.  So I thought it was a perfect card to show today!  LOL

The images I used are Poorly Chester from Little Miss Muffet Stamps and designed by Pollycraft, and Totally A-Maze-ing from Stampin Up.  I’ve wanted to use the maze for a while but it’s so huge that it’s hard to fit on the card.  I think I’ve managed to get it one on there okay and also came up with another idea which I’ll show later on. 

I think PJs always look cute as the traditional blue and white stripes but this time I wanted to try something different and went with turquoise and yellow to match the paper. And of course, I had to give him a pink nose!  LOL

We’re all on meds and we’ll be feeling much better – just in time for the holiday weekend next week.  Whohoo… a 3-day weekend!!  Then after that, one week of school and the kiddos will be out for the summer.  Yeah… that should be fun.  😀

BBQ Chester

It’s another challenge day at Little Miss Muffet Stamps and this fortnight we’re challenging you to use the colors Kraft, Red and White!  Make sure you head on over to the LMMS Challenge blog to check out all the other DT creations – they’re fabulous!!  For my project, I decided to take this opportunity to try coloring with Copic markers on Kraft paper and this is what I ended up with…
 

I used BBQ Chester from Little Miss Muffet Stamps drawn by Pollycraft.  In the background I also used the accessory chef hat that comes with this stamp to create a custom background paper suited for the theme.  😀  The butterfly is chipboard embellishment from Make it Crafty and the tag is a diecut from Stampin’ Up (I think.)

Here’s a close up of Chester.  I loved how his skin color turned out, however, I would have like to have the white more… well, white!  LOL  Maybe next time I’ll try paper piecing and see how that works. 

It’s raining outside this evening here in Texas which got me to wonder, how many different ways there are to describe rain. I’ve heard that Eskimos have an unusually large number of words for snow (see HERE for a good chuckle.)  However, is it true for rain too?  I’ve found a few sites that will list some by my favorite so far is one from BBC News titled “Fifty Words for Rain.”  Out of that one… my favorite, and most fitting for the weather outside is … “Raining Stair-rods: Any garden furniture not taken indoors floats away. Reporters on 24-hour news channels began using words torrential and holding their hands out with their palms upturned.”  So in other words, I need to hurry up and click on “Publish” before I loose power for the night!  LOL
