Inspiration Challenge from a Pinterest Photo

Hi Friends and Stampers,

It's time for a new Challenge over at Loves Rubberstamps Challenge Blog. This week we have a Pinterest Photo to Inspire you. 

 

You can be inspired by the colors, the textures, the patterns, a design.  Whatever inspires you about this picture can be in your project.   Here is what I came up with.

 

East Wind- Funky Antique Lady Doll with Frame

MFT Die-Namics Chandelier

Creative Vision - Middle Finger

Copic Markers

X-Press It Copic Papers

Memento Black Ink

 

I know, I did this fold last week, lol.   I had this fabulous East Wind Image in mind when I was making my card last week.  She is so great, I just love her and the expression on her face.  Of coarse she was going to say something sarcastic, and the Creative Vision Middle finger was just the saying I needed, "Ever have one of those days where your middle finger wants to answer every question?"  Of coarse I have those days! lol.   The Chandelier peaking out from the center of the card goes so well with her fancy dress and shawl.  My paper is a retired S.U. paper, something about Portraits.  The camera claimed blue but in real life it's a darker teal and I used my Copic Markers to match the colors: BG09, BG07, BG05, V17, V15, V12, R89, R39, R37, R35, and BG70 is the perfect outline color for her, it's the same shade of green only very light.  Her skin tones: E000, E00, E21, E93 and hair: E19, E97, YR24, YR21. 

 

 

On behalf of the design team I would like to thank The East Wind for providing us such fabulous images!  I think I'm going to have to go back and pick up one of those grumpy cats, lol. 

 

Be sure to check out all the New Items Laura has added to the store! 

 

Thanks for checking in on me today.

Totes Ma Goats

Happy Holly-Day Monday!

I guess Totes Ma Goats means being overly excited and trying to act cool, lol. Well there is one thing for sure, this little goat is ADORABLE!!! I used to live on a farm in Oregon when I was a kid, for a spell, and we had a goat who gave birth to a kid. I thought it was very cute, but my Sister absolutely loved these goats. So I thought I would make up a whole mess of cards from this set just for her.

SugarPea Designs - Totes Ma Goats

Copic Markers

Copic X-Press It Paper

Doodlebug Design 6x6 - Springtime

Memento Black Ink Pad

 

I don't think Laura has added the newest SugarPea sets, but I do know she is ordering them about once a month, so if you shoot her an email and ask her to add this set, I'm sure she would be happy to order it for you when her next order comes in. This means it might be a couple weeks or so before you get it, but you will get it. This is what the complete set looks like.

 

 

I have seen some seriously cute cards made with this set, so I was happy to pick up mine in a hurry.

There is still one more day to play in our Fancy Folds Challenge. I have seen some amazing folds that I cannot wait to try out! You may also want to check out the New Items in the store!

Thanks for Looking in on me today.

Fancy Folds

Hi Friends and Stampers,

I was waiting last night for the Loves Rubberstamps Challenge to close and I was getting sleepier and sleepier.  One thing led to another and the next thing you know, Joe and I both snoozing in the living room with the TV on.  I was watching Forensic something or another, but at least I know they usually solve it and catch the bad guy in the end, lol.  Anyhoo, I got up this morning and worked on the challenge blog to get this weeks challenge up. 

This week at the Loves Rubberstamps Challenge, we are asking to see your fancy folds.

Aurora Wings - Whimsical Strawberry Sprite

Copic Markers

Copic X-Press It paper

MFT Die-Namic Oval Stax Two

MFT Die-Namic Open Oval Scallop

 

This cute little fold is a remake of a card we did in our S.U. club.  It's 12 X 5 1/2.  It's scored at 2, 4, 8, 10 inches.  At the four and the eight inch, we cut diagonal to the 1 and the 12, both in equal parts.  We took the opposite side of the diagonal cut and glued it to the bottoms and viola, you have my fancy fold.  

 

 

I would like to thank our sponsor Aurora Wings for the cute images they provided the design team, I really love this Strawberry Sprite.  And she was so much fun to color up.  So this weeks prize is a digi image from Aurora Wings as well as the store voucher, double prizes are always so much fun!

 

And speaking of coloring, I was inspired by Delphine's Place, and tried out some of her color combinations.  YG01, YG03, GY00, B10, YG17, YG67, E000, E00, e21, e93, R81, R83, R85, R35, R37, R39, R89, Y00, Y38, R05, YR04.  I loved her poppies and the orange that she used. 

 

I can't wait to see your fancy folds!  I know Laura is catching up on orders and shipping, she has also added a couple things to the New Items that you can go check out. 

 

Thanks for Looking and your kind Comments.

Hi Friends and Stampers,

I hope your Easter Sunday was fabulous and you got to eat a lot of chocolate and spend time with your family. It's a Holly-Day Monday over at the Loves Rubberstamps Inspiration Blog and thankfully the kids are home just one more day and so am I! For my inspiration today, I've decided to show you what to do with some leftover carrots.

Hi Friends and Stampers,

 

It's time for a new Challenge over at Loves Rubberstamps Challenge Blog.   This week is Spring Theme.  I had this cute scene in my mind that just would not translate to my card, lol.   So I kept adding things and then decided I could not go back to the drawing board, better just put up what I have, lol.  I do love this adorable barnyard scene from our Sponsor this week, All dressed Up.  And this week we have another sponsor, QKR Stampede! And Laura is giving away a gift voucher to  Loves Rubberstamps,so that's an opportunity to win three prizes for playing this week!  Whoot!

 

Is anyone else on Spring Break this week?  My two are home this week and Joe and I are alternating our days off.  So I have blasting and happy squeals in the background as I am typing, lol.  They are busy away playing their video games.  I think I am going to plan a field trip this weekend.  They will need to get away from the electronics, lol. 

 

I hope to see your fabulous creations on the challenge blog!
