Nightwind

I don’t know about you but I love to have a “stash” of projects waiting in draft mode so I can post them whenever I can or whenever I need to.  😀  However, I’m down to my last one – eek!!  With this one posted that reduces my number of draft posts down to three – one is a recipe for some killer pickles that I’ll share one day, another one I was asked to remove but just can’t bring myself to delete it, and the third one is just a bookmark type post to help me remember a few things.  So basically that it.. they’re all gone!!  Sniff, sniff.

But I love this project and wanted to share it with you before I returned home from holidays.  It uses Nightwind from Little Miss Muffet Stamps and is part of the Hills of Mooradale collection drawn by Simply Sophia.  I am loving the ponies and fairies that she is creating and actually have a few on the drawing block that we’re working on together.  Yeah!  So keep you eyes out for them coming soon!  😀

I’ve had this paper for a while and love the whimiscal clouds and kites flying in the sky and was excited to use Nightwind – I thought it was a perfect match!  The sentiment says “Caputre life’s moments!”  Thanks for dropping by today and I hope you’re having a great weekend!!  I have only two weeks of school left before the end of this semester and I’m getting excited.  😀

Party Banner

Wow, I must say I am exhausted!  Why you might ask?  I just finished up with a 50 hour school project that came to a completion this evening and I can’t express how happy I am that it’s over!  It was so bad as far a stress was concerned but it sure will be nice to have those hours freed up.  LOL  Just in time for the holidays too … and I have a couple days before I head out of town for a well deserved break.  But don’t worry, I hope to have some specials planned out while I’m away!

This is a project I made over at my Mom’s house the other day and it was fun to spend a little time with her.  I wanted something quick so I decided to use the Hatter Hats and Hatter Hat Stands to make a card.  Then decided it would be perfect to use the new Party Banner from Little Miss Muffet Stamps too and that’s how it all came together.  So simple and I love how it turned out.

The top most banner was added with foam dimensions as well as the hat on the left side.  Then the Hatter Hat Stand was stamped directly on the decorative paper.  Simple and fast – a perfect combination!  LOL

Thanks so much for everyone’s comments regarding my daughter’s eyes – very helpful!  Turns out I’ve been getting Hazel and Amber colors mixed up all along and I didn’t even know it.  😀  So yes, looks like her eyes ARE hazel and like most of you said they change depending on the day and lighting … as you can see.  I’ll have to try writing down “Gorgeous” the next time I’m asked but at least now I have an appropriate backup.  LOL

The Van Family

It’s an exciting day over at Little Miss Muffet Stamps today as we celebrate the newest release!!  This time it’s all about family and Thankgsiving with some fun new styled images a my favorite Operation TREEHOUSE kiddos!  There are some great combos and specials too so you don’t want to miss out – head on over today and see what’s available!

For my project I used the new “The Van Family” and created a representation of my family.  With Dad, Mom, three Sisters and complete with our little pooch.  Each of these images are separate so there are many ways you can use them.  You can get them individually or the whole set at a great introductory price!!  I’ve also used the Party Banner from Little Miss Muffet Stamps and embellished it with faux stitches and Baker’s Twine.

Speaking of family… here’s a puzzle for you.  This is a close up picture of my youngest daughter and we were trying to figure out what color her eyes are.  It’s easy to say they’re multicolored of blue, green and brown or maybe simplify it to gray.  However, if she was going to write a color on her driver’s license, then what color does she put down?? 

Thanks for stopping by today and I hope you’ve enjoyed my project for the week.  It was fun to get into the craft room today and get something colored up!!  Make sure you head on over to the LMMS Challenge Blog too and see all the awesome creations from the DT.  Cheers!

Roamer & Scout

I’m here, I promise!  LOL  At least I have a few projects that are made that I can show because no matter how hard I try I haven’t been able to get in my craft room to color.  😦  Hopefully this next month will go by quickly and I can enjoy a more relaxed schedule during the holiday.  Most people are waiting for the holidays to be over – isn’t that odd?  he he he

So this project uses Roamer from Little Miss Muffet Stamps and in the background I also used the new Party Banner also from Little Miss Muffet Stamps.  😀  Did you see the butterfly?  Recognize it?  Yeah, I found another one at the craft store and swiped it up before anyone else could even peek at it.  LOL  So of course, I had to use it right away.

My daughter, on the other hand, is still crafting away and I just wanted to show off one of her latest projects.  On this one she used Scout from Little Miss Muffet Stamps and the flower was a gift from Arabella.  😀

So has anyone watched the latest Disney Pixar movie, Brave?  I just saw it this weekend and though they had fun giving the horse and bear expressions.  I love watching cartoons, I must admit, so it was fun.  😀  I’ve also started watching Switched at Birth.  It’s a little more dramatic than I prefer but an interesting story.  Well, I think I about jabbered enough.  Hope you are having a great weekend!!

Firefoot

I thought I’ve put up one last project before posting a lucky winner for the NEWS Badge.  This project was simple to put together and I had fun coloring the image, which is Firefoot from Little Miss Muffet Stamps and drawn by Simply Sophia.  I love the three birds that are playing with the horse and it really sets up a great mini scene.  😀

I’ve been spending the week at High School this past week for intern hours and it was very interesting.  I had forgotten how much I had forgotten!!  LOL  So I kept getting distracted by the topics because this time around, I actually wanted to learn.  The classes I went to to observe had so many fun things that I wanted to raise my own hand and ask the teacher follow-up questions.  I’m sure I got more out of it than the HS students.  He he he
