LMMS: Ximena Felices Fiestas

Hello there! It's time for another Inspirational Thursday. This time I used 
When I saw this image I thought about celebrations there are in Central America
and in Mexico. Where women wear Folkloric dresses of many colors. Sometimes the
dresses are all white, sometimes white with some colorful access and sometimes bold
and bright colors- which I love personally.
I imagined this dancer in a parade on a cobblestone street so I used an embossing folder
from Cuttlebug/Provo Craft. I also used La La Land Crafts die to make de 
"papel picado" decorating above and behind her. 


I colored Polka Dot Pals Ximena with Polychromos color pencils on Kraft Cardstock and fussy cut around her. Then I used mounting foam to add dimension to the card. 


FaberCastell Polychromos color pencils (+1 Prismacolor) used:
Ivory, Walnut Brown, Burnt Siena, Burnt Ochre, Dark Flesh, Middle Cadnium Red and White.
Black, Cold Grey VI, Walnut Brown and White.
Light Cobalt Turquoise, Cobalt Blue, Middle Phthalo Blue,
Crimson, Mauve, Manganese Violet,
Orange Glaze, Light Cadnium Red,
Prismacolor Jasmine and Polychromos Dark Cadnium Yellow
Colors were used on Kraft Cardstock
to check out the other talented design team members 
as well as other LMMS members creations. 

Thank you for stopping by.

A little birdie told me...

Good morning everyone!

This month I'll be participating as a Guest DT for Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps Woot Woot!
This week the theme is Fall / Autumn colors. When I think about Fall/Autumn colors I think about the changing leaves, colors of the sky but I also think about the harvest and fruits that were planted in the spring and fall. (I think I'm always thinking about food though. hahaha) Therefore, I was inspired to make this card. The image reminds me of my Mom, she's always in the garden. She gardens at home and she also teaches and maintains a garden at an elementary school in her local neighborhood. The food my mom grows is for the community she lives in. Many children and their families get to take home what they helped grow at their school. Every time I visit her in the garden there is always something I can just rinse off and nibble on.

I used this little girl with fresh picked vegetables from the garden
it's a retired Rubber Stamp from Kraftin' Kimmie's artists: Cheryl Grant
I got it from Facebook Rubber Party, Kim Reid had on the Kraftin' Kimmie
Facebook Fan page. Rubber Parties are really fun and sometimes sad (LOL  ) if you 
aren't quick enough or if your internet or Facebook is lagging.
I don't remember the name and I don't have the packaging printout
since it was sort of a online yard sale.
When I find the name I will update the info.
The Spanish sentiment is from
a Dilo En EspaƱol set called Set #2 Queremos Pastel
I colored the image with Copic markers
and used a Doodlebug Design paper stack called Friendly Forest
the banner die is from My Creative Time.


That is all folks! 

Thank you for stopping by.

Sweetie Pie Liberty




Hi and welcome to Day #1 of Stamp Anniething's April release!  
This month is all about being in the kitchen... who doesn't like fresh baked goods, right?

Meet our newest stamp,

Liberty will be available in the store Friday along with the other 2 stamps we will be showing  you  this week!!
`~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Here is the Project I made :

I kept thinking on all of the yummy sweet potato pies my MIL makes for
our family Thanksgiving Dinner
but I only had pumpkin paper haha not my favorite 
but there have been a few I've enjoyed. :P

Then as I colored this stamp I kept thinking of all or should I say few
pie songs I know and probably... or most likely... well heck 
definitely have nothing to do with real pies. hahaha
Do you remember that song by Domino called Sweet Potato Pie?
Or the one by Warrant called Cherry Pie? or maybe a newer song
called Trap Queen by Fetty Wap... I was very disappointed
that he really wasn't in the kitchen cooking pies for his baby
but I'm guilty of still jamming that song 
and putting that sweet image in my head. 
Yes, I'm weird.  haha

I used Copic markers
and dies from 
La-La Land Crafts and My Creative Time
The big rose is from Wild Orchid Crafts that I got 
from The Not2Shabby Shop I just colored it with a Copic refill R37
the paper is from Doodlebug Designs called Fall Friends
I used sketch from Mojo Monday


here is a close-up
I fussy cut her and paper pieced her dress, apron and hair bow. 


This stamp will be available in the STORE Friday!

the movie Pretty In Pink

little dress pink. LOL

Danielle is ready for Springtime


Hi and welcome to Day #1 of Stamp Anniething's March release!  
Who's done with winter and ready for Spring?  We are!!!
Meet our newest stamp,

Danielle will be available in the store Friday along with the other 2 stamps we will be showing  you  this week!!
`~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Here is the project I made for today!

Isn't she so flippin' adorable? :P I had so much fun
coloring Danielle with her little cute polkadot skirt
she looks just like a little ladybug herself. :) 
I bought a flower spray from Michael's last year
and I just plucked out some of the flowers and 
hot-glued them on. I tried to match the pink of 
the skirt and scarf with the flowers.
The papers are from DoodleBug (which I need to buy MORE of.)
hmmm the adorable fence die is from La-La land Crafts
and it's called "Heart Fence." 
I took the hearts that popped out of the fence and 
created a butterfly with the heart negatives. 
the hill is from Avery Elle.
The tiny bushes behind her were a freebie I got
from Our Daily Bread Designs but I think
it's a border die.

Here is a close-up of the adorable Danielle.
I hope you get her ASAP and have
as much as fun as I did coloring her up.

She will be available in the STORE Friday!

Thanks for joining us for our March Release
 and have a great day!

Corinne's Girly Swap 2014

Hey Hey!

Hope everyone is doing well.  Today is the big day that we're showing off our swap goodies. Yay!
You should be coming right over from  Sam Slater's blog. If not use the blog hop list at the very bottom as your guide.

Okay, yy swap buddy is Tanja Charles I was happy to get her 'cause well she is really a friend that I get to chat with almost everyday. LOL Sometimes is just to check up on each other sometimes is silly randomness but mostly is CRAFTY stuff which is my favorite thing to do. :) Although we chat often.... You know that woman didn't want to tell me what she really wanted until one day along with another buddy BreAnn, we took pictures of our dies and let me tell ya she IS late to the die party (she said so herself).... very very late. LOL jk Tee just teasing. So since she's a good buddy and it's her birthday month I decided to buy her some dies along with other crafty goodies of course.


Still waiting on the mailman for mine though... darn post office.... We love them and we despise them at the same time. LOL So I will have to update my post for ya gals and gents.

"I got a package! I got a package! I got package Hey Hey!!!"
So excited to use these things I don't have that color catch it all for my sprays I only have 4 but 
now I need more... I do really need to start smashing little life things or color combos. LOL
Tanja made the colorful beads. Can't wait to use the glitter and everything else. 

Thank you so much for my crafty goodies. 
Tanja got me these crafty goodies.



_________________________________________________________________________________
Anyway here is the card I made. I used Copic and Copic Atyou pens to color her. I used http://simplybstamps.net/item_2727/Bubble-Bath-Betty-Digi.htm just click on the link and you'll find her there.





The Paper and the brad is from Bo Bunny: Isabella Collection.  I tried to color the image to sort of match the papers or as close as I could with my limited Copic collection. I used roses from my stash... well from Orchid Crafts. The dies are from La La Land Crafts and from My Creative Time. 

This is what I got for her.  A few things I didn't have myself so I got doubles and some things I wanted but it was the LAST. Is that baaaaad to get things for myself too or what? Good thing it was my own money and not my Hubby's or he would wrung my neck. LOL jk... 
he supports me in my crafting... or so he says....  I beg to differ much of the time.

I tissue wrapped everything for the swap in WHITE
and the one BLUE one is for her birthday... not for the swap\ or swap hop.


This is what I got for Tanja
