Here is a bit of inspiration with Little Miss Muffet Stamps using the new Build-a-Critter that was released last week.  I made up all six critters possible… well, all six normal critters!  LOL  I left out the skunk-aroo and racoo-eavers.  He he he 

 

There are a couple of things on the card I was excited to use… the sentiment beads have been sitting in my craft room for over two or three years so I threaded them onto hat pins and placed them behind the ribbon rose.  I think those beads are way back when I made jewelry… or attempted to make jewelry.  I think I managed to create a few bookmarks but never went past that.

Then the ribbon rose was something I found in the store – I was so excited I finally found some, except I didnt’ anticipate they would be too big to use on most of my projects.  So it was neat they fit and the color scheme worked out ok too.   And lastly it always feels good to move out the older paper.

This is probably another gift set of cards that I’ll bundle up and save for when needed.  It was fun to put together and I actually used them for show and tell last week at my daughter’s school – it was career day and they asked me to come talk about being an artist.  Let’s just say the 2nd grad was full of great questions but the Kindergartener’s were only interested in the pretty pictures part.  LOL  They were all sweet and next time I’ll know just to bring a drawing pad and a pencil for their age group.  😀

Thanks for dropping by and I hope you’ve enjoyed these cards.  😀  Make sure to head on over to the LMMS Challenge Blog for more mid-week inspiration and then to the LMMS Store for some shopping!

It’s a new challenge day at Little Miss Muffet Stamps and we have an awesome theme for everyone… ANYTHING GOES!!  We all love those plus there are fabulous prizes – THREE RUBBER STAMPS!!  This isn’t something that happens every time there is a challenge so I feel like bringing special attention to it.  He he he… hence the all caps.  LOL  But seriously, head on over to the LMM Challenge Blog and check out the details – for this challenge you just have to be a Follower and add the NEWS Badge to your sidebar!  Easy peasy!  😀

For my project I used the new Lavender as Alice and went with a gold and blue color scheme.  This isn’t just any o’l Alice as she’s a special Sugar ‘n Spice Doll Alice!  😀  She’s great in all colors too and a perfect image for girl birthday cards. 

I love how her colors turned out and it was pure luck as I didn’t have my color chart out for a reference – so as a result I just started picking out marker I tought would work together and blending out colors that didn’t.  I’ll have to try that more often.  What about you… are you a color-by-the-chart kind of person or do you prefer to get results through the luck of the draw?

I’ve got some more images released at Little Miss Muffet Stamps today and the design team has gone all out to create some inspiring samples too!  There are six fun new images and even a boy that you don’t want to miss out on.  😀  For my project I used Paprika as Raggedy Ann…

I have a Raggedy Ann doll from my childhood that my Mom had made for me so this has been a long time favorite character for me.  She even stitched a heart on her chest that says “I Love You.”  Isn’t she the best Mom ever?!  I remember I had a book on Raggedy Ann too so I enjoyed using reading elements on my card with the decorative paper. 

Thanks coming by and don’t for get to visit the Little Miss Muffet Stamps store for some shopping of your favorites… there’s even an Alice and Swan Princess!  Plus the four from yesterday gives you ten new images to drool over.  LOL

Are you ready for another challenge at Little Miss Muffet Stamps?  Well this time we have an easy one for you… May Flowers!!  Our last challenge was April Showers so how could we not resit taking it all the way.  LOL  And since most of us use flowers galore, this should be an easy peasy challenge.  😀

For my project I used Licorice from Little Miss Muffet Stamps and paper from Authentique called Delightful.  Remember the card kits I was making for the Hatter Party at my local scrapbook store?  This was one of them!  😀  I also used a die in the background from Memory Box, Country Border or something like that, however, the paper is so busy that it’s hard to see unfortunately.

For a good contrast with the background paper (see I learned my lesson from the Country Border die I used!  LOL), I decided to go with a bright orange for the dress on Licorice.  (YR21, YR 12, YR14, YR 18 and YR27)  Then Green apples becuase they would show up better than red, and her hair combination is the Copic E70s.  The skin tones are E21, E31, E00, E000, E04 and the blush was R11 and R12.  Lastly, the brown basket was colored using E55, E57, and E59.
 

Finally, I used up the last of my white satin ribbon, found some sherbet flat pearls and added a HUG tag (found at Oriental Trading Co online).   I hope you like it and thanks for stopping by.  Make sure you also visit the LMM Challenge Blog for the design teams’ inspiration – they’ve done a fantastic job!!
