Love you More Than Chocolate! - Our Craft Lounge sneak peek

Love You More Than Chocolate crop

Hey, everyone!  Today is day 2 of the Valentine release sneak peeks for Our Craft Lounge.  I’m showing you a peek at Granny’s Truffles.  Everybody loves Granny!

Love You More Than Chocolate

I’ve used the MOJO113 sketch, which worked perfectly for Granny and her chocolate heart sentiment.  And this also fits the Splitcoast Monday TLC247 for cutting “Outside the Box” - her hair and the sentiment.  Hehe…check out her cheek full of chocolate and her fuzzy red slippers (made with Sparkly Fluff)!

Granny’s Been Shopping…it’s OCL’s 1st birthday!!

Granny Shopping crop

Our Craft Lounge is celebrating it’s FIRST BIRTHDAY this month!  If you go on over to The Lounge  or The Forum and you can join in on the fun scavenger hunt they are hosting!

In honor of the birthday party, I decided that Granny from the Shop ’til Ya Flop set needed to go shopping!  But of course, who do you think she ended up shopping for!??

Granny Shopping

I had a blast creating Granny’s paper-pieced outfit - the jacket, shopping bags, and hat…complete with a Minnie Pearl tag on her hat!!  (Now I know there are a few of you out there that are old enough to remember dear Minnie Pearl!)

All the patterned papers are from the Early Bird Mini Deck from Cosmo Cricket.  Everything else was colored with Copic markers.  The layout is from this week’s sketch challenge SC254 at Splitcoaststampers.

Be sure to stop by the OCL Lounge for all the details on the scavenger hunt.  It’s going on through Sunday (11/15/09).  Good luck!

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a fantastic weekend!

Pure Sweetness - 2S4U sketch

Baking Girl crop

Oh my goodness!  How sweet is this little doll???

I have a funny story to tell you.  I created this on Monday evening and was saving it to post today.  Well, on Tuesday I visited Sherry’s blog and was astounded at what I found.  A card using a Crafty Secrets image of a cute little girl and embellished with a handmade lace flower topped with a button!  It’s even a similar layout!!

Now Sherry and I have always claimed to be long-lost sisters…we think alike in so many ways it’s really scary sometimes!  But this coincidence just blew me away!!  If she had used red along with her aqua and brown, I would have totally freaked out - PIMP style!!!  LOL!

Now on to the card…

I made this for the 2 Sketches 4 You challenge this week - Kazan’s Sketch 36.  I used a Cotton Scrap from Crafty Secrets and lots of yummy Cosmo Cricket Early Bird 6 x 6 paper.  And thanks to Sherry, I now know it qualifies for the Crafty Secrets forum challenge CSSC88 at Splitcoaststampers.

Thanks for stopping by and taking a look!!

Using Red - Balloons for a birthday

Miles’ Balloons crop

Today’s Ways to Use It challenge at Splitcoaststampers is to use red.   I can do that!

This card was made as a birthday card for a child who loves balloons, but I don’t see why an adult wouldn’t love it too!   Using the Everyday Button Bits stamp set from Papertrey Ink, I created the little scene.  Then I die cut some “hot air balloons” using oval Nestabilties.  I stitched the seams on the large balloon and then tied on some embroidery floss.

Miles’ Balloons

And here’s the inside - a different set of balloons:

Thanks so much for dropping by!  And thanks, Julia, for the fun challenge!

Dare to Get Dirty - 2009 Edition

2009 DTGD crop

~

I was honored that Sharon asked me to make a sample for her Dare to Get Dirty challenge today.  Of course I said yes right away!  It’s a color challenge: use black and white and just a touch of red.

I had no idea where this card was going to end up when I started, but I did know I wanted to start with the white background and the Wildflower background stamped in black.  I also wanted a lot of it to show, so I decided just to go with that and an embellishment that would pop!  I’m happy with how it turned out!

New toys and a Featured Stamper

Untamed crop

I got some new toys!!  A full set of Tombow markers…and I couldn’t wait to play!

Lucky for me, the Featured Stamper at Splitcoaststampers this week is (Sandra McLean (B-gin-r) who is a super-talented watercolorer.

I chose to use THIS CARD as my inspiration.  Of course mine is the little girl version of it!!   Sandra’s is just incredible!

Untamed

I love using the Tombows!  And there are so many colors!   Basically I just watercolored with them by wetting the paper first, laying the color where I wanted it to be the darkest, then spreading it with my water brush.  (I decided to use patriotic colors too in celebration of the 4th!)

Thanks for visiting today!

Make Lemonade!

Make Lemonade crop

Today is another Wacky Wednesday over at the Rubbernecker blog!  Be sure to check out the great challenge that Candy has presented us with….using inchies in our design.

It’s also the monthly Dirty Dozen (past and present) design challenge at Splitcoaststampers.  This month Christine has asked us to use watercoloring in a design that is based on water.

I chose to use my water to make lemonade!  What better refreshment for those hot days of summer out by the pool or at the beach?  (Well, besides a cold Bud, of course!)

Make Lemonade

My inchie lemons and the long tall glass of cool lemonade are watercolored.  The lemons are punched with a 1″ square punch and matted on black cardstock.  After I colored the lemonade and cut it out, I used Ranger Glossy Accents on the ice cubes for a really “cool” effect.

Make Lemonade close up

I used my Top Note die to cut out the S.E.I. linen.  The sentiment is stamped on it using black StazOn ink.

We’d love for you to play along with us in the Wacky Wednesday challenge.  You could win a 40% gift certificate to use at Rubbernecker!  Check it out!  And while you’re there, link up to the blogs of the other design team members for some “cool” inspiration!
