Blessed baby

Hi All!!  Well I tried to brave the stores for all of the spectacular deals but only did one!  One Crazy Stamper has the right idea by giving us GREAT DEALS but from the comforts of our own home!  I love that!  AND to top it all off I spied some new stuff in the store that is on my Christmas list to Santa this year!  Especially some of the new Kraftin Kimmies and My Favorite Things! 

I love the a la mode collection by My Favorite Things and they really became one of my favorite new collections!  They are so fun and fresh and of course great to color!  I used Oh Baby for today's card.

All of those baby showers I had in October and November are expecting their babies in December so I needed some welcome baby cards.  I had these ribbon charms in my stash for years and I am really trying to use what I have cause I HAVE soooooo much stuff that I can't find my way around it all.  Hope you all can find some crafty time this weekend!

Happy Crafting,

6 x 6 Paper Pads

Lost & Found Two

Sunshine 

by My Mind's Eye

 Today I am spotlighting this 6 x 6 paper pad: Sunshine by My Mind's Eye.

I used four different papers from this double sided collection to make the card below. 

The beauty of using a coordinated paper pad is you know everything will go well together!

 My featured stamp is Uptown Girls Victoria and Juliette's Night Out by Stampingbella. 

I stamped the focal image with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and paper pieced the dresses with My Mind's Eye Sunshine designer paper pad. 

I colored the hair and skin with the copics below:

I cut out the focal image with a nestie and layered it onto more coordinated dp from the collection.

I cut out the sentiment with a ribbon banner. 

Check out all the 6 x 6 paper pads at One Crazy Stamper.

Autumn Blessings

Hello Friends Happy Thanksgiving for those that celebrate it. We are gathering at my Grandmothers house for Dinner tonight, good thing I am not cooking the main dish.







I have a Scrapbook Layout to share with you, this is of my Daughter when she was very little, now she is 12 years old and I am really backed up on my Lay Outs. I thought it would be nice to share today as it has these nice pretty Autumn colors.





The image is from Whimsy Stamps available at the OCS Store, this one is called Pum Kinnie Fairy. I also used the Autumn Letter Seals.

Tilda and her Bunny

Hi all, Madge here for another Wonderful Woo Hoo Wednesday!!!!  The flooring goes into my craft room today!!!!!  Have you noticed that the mail and shipping has been delayed?  Could it be the weather delaying transport??  I know we’ve had a major storm system on the Coquihalla – I guess it is that time of the year!
Today I’ve got a Magnolia Stamp called Tilda and her Bunny.  I loved this little stamp way back when it first came out……….I love her hat!  I’m so happy that Lora is carrying Magnolia’s once again – doing cartwheels happy!!

I tried to “glam her up a bit” by adding flowers and pearls and a very ornate punch……I think I overdid it.  A very good friend keeps sending me wonderful DP’s and I really wanted to tie Tilda in with mauve and pink and turquoise.
Materials used:  Tilda with her Bunny, Xpress Blend-it Memento ink, copic markers, flowers from OCS, An EK Success Border stamp, and Rhinestone and pearls
I loved the way her hat, pants, and shirt turned out – but the front of the shirt has issues…………  I tried to make polka dots……..now it is abstract. 
The Design Team for OCS has once been filled until next May,  but please keep submitting your work to the monthly challenge for the chance to win free stuff!!
The inside of my card is quite plain, but I do like this stamp.  So toodles until next Wednesday……….. 
Rubber hugz,
 

Holiday Goodies!!

Wow, time is really flying by, just over a month until the BIG DAY!!  Usually by now I have dozens of cookies and squares waiting to be eaten over the holidays, but I haven't even started baking yet!  Hopefully this card will inspire me to get busy!!

My card this week features "Bronte & Louis" from Stamping Bella, and okay it's not really a Christmas image, but somewhere in the world there are sure to be little boys celebrating the holiday in balmy weather.  Just imagine this young boy eating his shortbread cookie with lots of sprinkles, while his faithful companion tries to steal a bite!!  The image was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink on Copic Xpress It paper and colored with Copic Sketch Markers.  Silver Smooch accents the dog collar, the button on the boys shorts, and the veins on the snowflakes.  Image was cut with Spellbinders Label 5 die, matted and mounted onto dp from Bo Bunny's Blitzen collection.  The decorative edge was cut with Tim Holtz Snowflake on the Edge Die and additional snowflakes were cut with older Spellbinder dies.  To complete the card, sprinkles of red and green Stickles were applied.

Gertie Lulu

Hey stampers!

I am trying to steer away from holiday colors as much as I can BUT I will soon have to succumb to the winter weather and stamps.  I did use this excuse to use fun, bright colors!  I love these stamping bella stamps of Lulu (Gertie) and I thought it would be a fun touch to use a large prima flower for the background!
