Good Luck

~ sproatmeyer ~ 14 Comments

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!!  I love March and couldn’t resist sharing a lucky card for today using Good Luck from Little Miss Muffet Stamps and drawn by Pollycraft!  I love how this cutie is holding a giant four-leaf clover – something I always wished for when I was that age.  😀  Have you ever found a four-leaf clover?  My friends actually have, but I never found one.

This card was pretty easy to put together and I even had some green zipper ribbon that I wanted to use.  So the colors for the girl came from the papers and then the green zipper, clover and grass pull in the green elements.  I’ve seen some adorable all-green cards today but I was going for an all-purpose spring card.

At last minute I decided to add the grass – even after all the sewing was done.  But since the thread was dark I thought I could easily get away with it.  😀  I used various greens then came back in with flowers using the same yellows and pinks that are in the girls dress.  Then I added some white gel pen strokes and dots to brighten it up.

Isn’t she adorable?  Reminds me of my own little girls especially with the boots.  LOL  In fact, they’re outside playing today which sounds like a wonderful idea.  So I hope you’ve enjoyed this Good Luck inspiration and always a huge thank you for your comments.  *Hugs

I’d like to enter this into the following challenges:
The Crafter’s Cafe Challenge #14 – St. Patrick’s Day
Pattie’s Creations Design Challenge #63 – Green for St. Patrick’s Day
Just Add Ink Challenge #157 – Just Add Green

Sonny Honeycloud Poetry

~ sproatmeyer ~ 19 Comments

Check it out we have new releases over at Little Miss Muffet Stamps and tons of fabulous projects showing up over at the Little Miss Muffet Challenges Blog!  There are many new rubber stamps added to the store and today we’re adding three more!!  The DT gals and I are also featuring images from the last release and you can see them all in the What’s New section at LMMS.

For my project I used Sonny Honeycloud Poetry rubber stamp and paired her with the Party Banner Diecut, both from Little Miss Muffet Stamps.  Then the sentiment is Just Wanted to Say from Make it Crafty along with the chipboard embellishment.  The layout of the card is actually CASE’d from Mary J who created a beautiful birthday card.  Thanks Mary for the inspiration!

I have loved using the rubber stamps lately because I can stamp them in brown and/or choose my favorite papers to color on – I think the colors are coming out so much more vibrant and I can spend a little more time on the details such as the shadows and the texture on her sweater.  

This was one of my favorite Pollycraft images and one of the first ones I picked out – I love reading and actually just got another book from my sister that I can’t wait to get started on!  Anyway, I hope you’ve enjoyed the inspiration and I hope you get a chance to check out all the other projects from the DT – you can see them at the LMM Challenge Blog.  😀

Happy Valentine’s Day!!  We have some fabulous Valentine/Party images being released at Little Miss Muffet Stamps today that you’ll want to check out!  You can click HERE to see them in the store or click HERE to see all the gorgeous inspiration the DT has created today… if you want my opinion, you should lick on both, of course!  😀   I wasn’t able to make a card with one of the new images but I have an equally appropriate one to share today instead….

This project uses Casper Silvermist Crush from Little Miss Muffet Stamps which is an exclusive image drawn by Pollycraft!  Plus I have added a variety of chippies from Make it Crafty – the Ornate Corners on the four corners and the Leaf Branches were painted with gold before adding them to the mix.  Then the flowers and rub-on are from Stampin’ Up and you should be able to spot stitching on almost all my projects by now.  😀  Love that little sewing machine!

Thanks for dropping by and I hope you’ve enjoyed this little romantic inspiration.  😀  I’m off to create some secrete Valentines to add to my daughters’ mailbox and hope your having equally as much fun!  Now you can head on over to the next blog and check out all the fabulous creations from the DT at the Little Miss Muffet Challenge Blog!  Ciao!

Spencer’s Bucket of Love

~ sproatmeyer ~ 14 Comments

Shhh… don’t tell anyone that I’m awake!  LOL  I should be sleeping or at the very least doing my homework but I couldn’t resist posting this fun project that I made using one of the newest rubber stamps at Little Miss Muffet Stamps!!  I’ve been playing with these adorable images since they arrived at my doorstep back in January and it’s been a blast.  ;D  So today, I’m featuring a layout for the latest LMM Challenge and bringing you Spencer…

There are two images on this project which are Spencer’s Bucket of Love and Swings ‘n Slides Sweet Sentiments from Little Miss Muffet Stamps.  Both of them were part of the Valentine release this year and work perfectly together.  The sentiment is large enough that I stamped it on special paper and colored the “Sweet” letters using the same reds that are used in the Spencer image.  Then I used my white gel pen and added a few accents. 
 

Make sure you get a chance to pop on over to the Little Miss Muffet Challenge Blog to see all the other gorgeous creations using this layout and be sure to come play along in the challenge this round!!  Anyone can play but for those who want to show off a LMMS you can choose to follow the layout theme or submit anything goes – it’s a bonus just for LMM fans!!  😀 

I Heart Chester

Are you ready for a little luv from Chester?!  He has a special Valentine just for you to share all the love that he has!!   This image is part of the Valentine release from Little Miss Muffet Stamps and I’m so excited that I was able to make something using each of the newest rubber stamps!  That’s a big accomplishment for me even though it’s taken a month.  😀  However, I couldn’t resist the theme let alone the colors that are associated with it … i.e. pink and brown!

The images used on this project are I Heart Chester from Little Miss Muffet Stamps (which includes the extra hearts on the corner) and a small banner sentiment stamp from Make it Crafty (a little holiday gift from Zoe that works is so many ways!).  (Just found out this stamp is called Just Wanted to Say.) I stamped these images in brown then matched the colors with the papers.

It’s been a long time since I’ve used cork so I’ve tried to incorporate it into a few projects this month.  Sometimes I set something aside to “save” it only to forget about it!  It’s a curse to my crafting room but I’ve been good this past year and have been using the plethora of supplies I’ve horded.  So set out use something from your stash on the next project – it will be get a good example AND your craft-room organizer will thank you.  ;D

Celeste Amberglow Heartstrings

~ sproatmeyer ~ 15 Comments

It’s another new release day at Little Miss Muffet Stamps and we have two groups of images being featured!!  We have new fairy images from Simply Sophia that you’re going to love! Plus do you remember the Valentine rubber stamp release from this month?  We’re featuring those two!  So sit back and enjoy all the creations and make sure you visit the LMM Challenge Blog for more inspiration.  ;D

On this project I’ve used Celeste Amberglow Heartstrings from Little Miss Muffet Stamps which is one of the new rubber stamps drawn by Pollycraft.  I think she’s so adorable and can be used for many occasions – this project has a girly theme, of course. I also used chip board embellishments from Make it Crafty and daubed them with acrylic paints.

This card was a challenge from a friend who said I should do a purple card!   So I used the last little bit of purple from my Valentine paper collection and matched it up with my purple Copic markers.  I also used a little BV20 and BV23 for the shadows which really changes the look and softens up the shadows.  The rest, as they say, is history.

Thanks for dropping by and I hop you’ve been inspired.  Make sure you visit the LMM Challenge Blog as the DT has done a wonderful job with this release – all the projects are awesome!!  Then head on over to the LMM Store and pick up your favorite Valentine stamps!!  Ciao!
