We Can Do It!

Hello and Welcome to Another Sensational Sunday Inspiration Post for Loves Rubberstamps.  Head on over to the Inspiration Post to see how you can win a fabulous prize and to see what all my fellow Design Team members created along with me today. 

I decided to stay with the Inspirational Photo for this weeks Challenge:

This totally reminds me of Rosie the Riveter, so I immediately thought of this Kenny K Stamp called Super Mom!!!  Have you played in our Challenge this week?  Anything about this picture can be your inspiration, the red and blue, the coffee cup, the fabulous nails, the plaid, whatever strikes you and inspires you when you look at it.  We would love to have you join us and yes, there are prizes to be won, and best of all, it's a random pick. 

So for my Super Mom, I decided she needed to be in pink and blue.  I used my die-namic Banner Border and yes, I used the super yummy Card Candi again.  This one is called Saville Row and I colored it with my BG11 Copic Marker.  Do you ever feel like this some days?  You are running around and busy all day and evening and you just want to stop and strike a pose? lol. 

Well that's all the chit chat from me for now, hope you are having a wonderful weekend! 

Recap:
Kenny K - Super Mom
Card Candi - Saville Row
Die-namic - Banner Strip
Copic Markers: E0000, E000, E00, E21, E93, E27, E25, E23, BG 10, BG11, BG13, R85, R83, R81, Y00.

Design Team Coordinator

Hi All,

Snort, Nose wipe, that's right, "Nip it in the bud...."  lol. 

Thankfully I work with some Awesome Team Members!  I hope you have a chance to go visit the Store,  Laura cannot say that she is adding things this weekend, because she might jinx herself, but I can!!! lol.  So go check them out.  She is adding all kinds of stuff all the time, really great stuff, that we all NEED!!!!  lol.

Yee Haw! It's Friday Girls!

Happy Holly-Day Friday!

It's my day over at Loves Rubberstamps Inspiration Blog.  Today I have used Art Impressions - Picture Perfect.  LOVE these gals.  They remind me of myself and all my co-workers.  lol.  I can say that here because they seldom ever read my blog, lol.  We just did a photo shoot spread for a brochure this summer and the new brochures just came out with all of us lined up like the Pre-menapausal Diva's of the hospital, that we are, lol.    Sadly, it also reminds me of my Mom and her Sisters when I was growing up....now I kmow I'm growing old, lol.

I used this weeks challenge photo inspiration:

I just love this picture and feel very inspired by it every time I see it.  I used the colors and the Woman Power as my inspiration.  lol.   I know, more like power surge, lol. I loved how the papers in the Simple Stories worked so well for paper piercing clothes on these gals.  I airbrushed the scene with my copic markers and used another CARD CANDI!!!! lol.  This time I used Holly Berries.  Of course I had to have that pack! lol.  And I added some ribbon.

Many Thanks to our Sponsor this week:

Stuffed Sausage Ninja

Happy Halloween!

This is my little one.  He went Trick-or-Treating with his bestie.  When we arrived, we discovered that his BMF was also a Ninja and so the two of them embarked on the night with their parents in tow.  They like to create little games as they go.  So one would knock on the door and say, "trick-or-treat" and then hold out one arm and say, "Ninja Power Duplicate!"  and then the other one would pop out from behind him.  lol.  OMGosh they kill me, I have the best time just seeing what he will do next. 

I hope you all had a Happy and Safe Halloween.  For the Storm Victims, I hope you can begin repairs soon and that you are all okay.

Wednesday's Challenge - Reminder Post, Elfen

Happy Halloween! 

This is for the All That Scraps Wednesday's Challenge reminder post - Anything Goes!

I'm using the cute little Mashi's Muffin Elfen from the new October release.  Isn't she adorable?  I know, I keep saying that, but it's true, I love them all.  I paired her up with some of last years paper from October Afternoon called Holiday Style.  I bought it late in the season and did not get a chance to use it at all, so I wanted to be sure to use it this year.  And it worked out perfect for this image with the Holly bow in her hair.   I colored her with my Copic Markers: YR24, YR23, YR31, YR20, N2, E43, E42, E41, E0000, E000, E00, E21, E93, R39, R37, R35, YG67, YG63, YG61. 

I used Decontructed Sketch 74. 

Thanks for Looking and for your kind Comments!
I cannot wait to see what you are making and remember, in order to qualify for the prize, you must use a stamp or digi that is available in the store.

Picture Challenge La Rue Style

 

 

Happy Tuesday Bloggers and Readers!

It's time for another Loves Rubberstamps Tuesday Challenge over on the Challenge Blog.  This week we are inspired by this beautiful picture!  Okay, so I know, I took it literal, but you can be inspired by any part of this picture to create your card or project and come back and link it up to the Challenge Blog for a chance to win a prize!

This picture reminds me of a modern day version of Rosie The Riveter. Who by the way is Fabulous!  I am not a man-hater, but I am definitely a liberated woman. And so is this cute little Kiki La Rue called Latte Kiki.  And yes, as promised on Sunday, here is more Card Candi.  I took my Icing Sugar Card Candi and colored it with my R29 Copic Marker.  Then a thought occurred to me, what if I make a little teeny tiny miniature clock to go on her wall? lol.  So I did.  The things I will do when sleep deprived in the middle of the night, lol.  So my clock is also a color Card Candi. 

I decided to go with the colors and the scene in this picture.  I don't think I could repeat it, but I made the plaid skirt with my copics and a yellow prisma colored pencil.  Instead of a cabinet, I made a doorway and airbrushed the scene with my Copic Markers.  The paper is Echo Park note to self.  I used die-namic's for my flags.  And of course I used the Sweet Sunday Sketch. 

I am so excited to see your upload this week and will definitely leave you a comment. 

Recap:
KiKi La Rue - Latte KiKi
Card Candi - Icing Sugar
Die-namics
Echo Park - Note to self
Copic Markers - R29, R27, R24, BG10, B00, B02, E43, E41, E42, E33, E34, E35, E50, E37, E31, E0000, E000, E00, E21, E93.

Many Thanks to our sponsor this week:

Birthday Girl

Happy Sunday!

Hope you are all having a Sensation Sunday!  This is for the Loves Rubberstamps Sensational Sunday Post. 

As well as my card for this weeks MFT's Card Challenge.  I flipped the sketch and decided in honor of Laura adding A La Modes to her store's preorders, I would use one myself.  And since I had yet to get this cutie inky, I thought this was just the occasion.  That and I am late for my Sister's Birthday card, lol.  You know the old adage, the card makers family never gets a card?  Yup, that's me.  lol.  Just today, in the midst of making this card, did I find out that MFT's is retiring some of their A La Modes!  NO!!!  AND Flopsey too?  Well, it's not confirmed but it's sure looking that way.  So that being said, get the A La Modes while you can girls!

I am also featuring a new item in the store that I specially asked for.....Card Candi!!!!  Whooo Hooo!!!!  I love these little Card Candi's.  You will see them all week from me and then some!!!  lol.
They come in so many colors and textures.  These look like brads without any hassle.  I didn't have to measure, (like I ever do, lol) and poke holes and pray I could maneuver them so they looked even.  All I did was place a teeny tiny Candi Fix underneath, peel off the top of the adhesive and put it where I want it.  Viola.  No fuss.  Love that!  You don't even really need the Candi Fix, any dimensional adhesive would work, but you will need to cut them down to teeny tiny squares, lol.  So why not pick up the Candi Fix and save yourself some time?  I spray copic RV09 and RV04 over the silk flowers and added a large silver brad.  I put a piece of score tape over the brad and just plopped my Coffee Bean Card Candi right on top.  Perfect!  No more searching for the perfect colored brads.  And these have the slightest bit of shine to them, I just love them.  You gotta try these out!  But don't buy the icing sugar ones, I want to hoard those, lol.  I'll show you the icing sugar ones on Tuesday's card, lol.

After coloring up my Birthday Girl, I stamped her on sticky note paper and cut her out and laid her over my colored image with non-stick dotto and airbrushed BG10 around her. 

Now while this is not a Halloween Themed card, there is still time to get in on our challenge - Halloween theme!  Make sure you upload so I can see your fabulous projects and leave you a comment.
