LMMS: I'm Shearly Sorry

Hello there Crafty Friends!

Llama tell you I had lots of fun coloring this stamp. heehee These are actually two stamps merged together the one on the back is called Lallana Llama and the one in the front is called Lukeelu Alpaca. Both digital stamps along with the sentiment can be found in the Little Miss Muffet Stamps online store. I was totally inspired by Annabel Haines' work, she puts in a lot of pencil details and I'm always impressed by every card she makes.

7 Kids Crafts: Nora Northlight

Hello Crafty Friends,

Happy New Year! I hope you all had a wonderful holiday break and a fabulous new year. I'm excited to tell you that Kelly form https://www.7kidscrafts.com/ had a design team call so I decided to give it a go. I was shocked that I was one of the chosen designers because I felt there was a tough competition, many talented crafters applied besides myself. Before Christmas I was messaged to see if I was still interested, of course I said yes and soon after I received a parcel with some DT goodness. All of the items I received here in the YouTube video 7 Kids Crafts DT Package are all available at https://www.7kidscrafts.com/.

Here is the card I created with digital stamp
Sweet November Digital Stamp: Winter Fairytale - Nora Northlight
and a clear stamp sentiment from
Witt and Sass Stamp Company Clear Stamp - You Are Beautiful set
both can be found at: https://www.7kidscrafts.com/

Here are the Polychromos (and a couple of Prismacolor) color pencils I used:

Skin: Ivory, Burnt Sienna, Caput Mortuum and Medium Flesh

Hair: Black, Cold Grey VI and White

Cloak and Gloves: Walnut Brown, Burnt Sienna, Beige (Prismacolor), 

            then White, Ivory and Walnut Brown for fur

Dress and Boots: Brown Ochre, Burnt Sienna

Snow: White, Cold Grey III and 20% Cool Grey (Prismacolor)

Sky and Water: Sky Blue. I added Spectrum Noir Sparkle to the water. 

Wings: Copic Y21, Outlined with Cadmium Yellow, added dots and stars with Cadmium Yellow and then added Spectrum Noir Sparkle on top. 

The large rectangle die to cut the top layer and small dies to make the sign post for the sentiments are from My Creative Time tiny tags and the fence that I cut to use one portion of it is from La La Land Crafts. I used a little bit of Gathered Twigs distress ink on the sign post.

LMMS: Chrissie Let It Snow

Hello Crafty Friends!

I hope you've been having a lovely day/evening. It's almost that time again... Christmas time and some of us (me actually) don't have enough Christmas cards created! Yikes! Every year I grab a new Christmas cardstock or paperpad because I think I'll be working on Christmas cards all year long and then I don't get to make as many as I want. Luckily it's still November and have a chance to make cards for a few family members, some teachers and some of my crafty friends- I hope!

On to my card....

I started with a rubber stamp Polka Dot Pals Chrissie from
Little Miss Muffet Stamps and I also used Polka Dot Pals Add-on Faces clear stamp set
I had lots of fun coloring her up on Kraft colored cardstock- to me it gives her
a slight vintage look.
I colored her up with Copic markers and then went in with a few stores of
Polychromos colored pencils.

Some of the Copic colors I used were 

B32

R17, R46, R59

Y15, Y35, Y23, Y26, Y28, 

W9, W7, W5

YG63, G94

W3, W1

then I laid a little color pencil on top for lighting

Uni-ball Signo White Angelic for the snow and eye lights. 

For the colored layered background I used a die from

My Creative Time and the die for Let It Snow sentiment

is a die from Our Daily Bread Designs.

Here's a close-up

I really enjoyed making this card. 

I think I will make more in different colors- at least to practice.

I've been playing along with 

#thedailymarker30day coloring challenge and really enjoying it

especially with this card- I finished all of the coloring in one day.

Don't forget that there are Anything Goes challenges over at

LMMS: Starbrite bookmark

Hello Crafty Friends,

Today I have a project for the new challenge over at Little Miss Muffet Stamps, I created a bookmark for my littlest one. Daenerys, will be 6 years next week and she's having so much fun learning and reading new words. It may be a while for her to read chapter books but she's extremely advanced and smart that I'm sure she'll be wanting more bookmarks made to read between school books and personal books. For the bookmark I used Polka Dot Pals Starbright. I colored her up with Copic markers and the blue part of the sky closest to her body is with Copic markers as well. The rest of the background was done with Distress Inks. The stars and dots were done with Sakura Stardust Gellyroll and the white stars were done with Uni-ball Sign White Angelic. 

I wanted to make her clothing very girly and colorful.

Luckily I had a twine/tassel with similar colors. I was looking

for my white and gold and saw this colorful twine and thought it would 

perfect for this bookmark.

Here's a close-up so  you can see a few of the spots with Sakura Gellyroll 

Stardust pen- it does look a little weird on the phone but in person

it looks very sparkly and more uniformed. 

I think what took the longest to color 

was the hair and ruffles. It was actually pretty pretty quick and easy to make.

My older daughter's friends are already asking for bookmarks from the last time I made her 

some bookmarks. 

That is all for now.

LMMS: Festive Days

Hey Crafty Friends,

I hope you're having a great day! I'm here trying to stay warm and coloring away while I have laundry going... Thanks goodness for automatic washers and dryers. LOL For this week's inspiration card for  Little Miss Muffet Stamps I've created a card using Polka Dot Pals Renata and Polka Dot Faces Add-On Digital.  The background I drew in myself because I wanted to put PDP Renata in a more authentic and traditional setting for the folkloric dress she is wearing. I added more ric rac trim to her dress and there rest of the line work was with a Sakura Pigma Sensei 0.4 pen. The pencils I chose to color this image were all Polychromos.

                                                                   Polka Dot Pals Renata 
                                                        and Polka Dot Faces Add-On Digital.  
                     Last year I created a completely different looks with the same stamps.

LMMS: This Little Light of Mine

Hello Crafty Friends,

I've been working on some Christmas cards... crossing my fingers that I don't run out this time. This is a simple card I created with Jr. Hatter Kit with the new Jr. Hatter Add-on Faces Set A (Digital.) I'm really loving all of the new faces to customize them all. To decorate the bottom portion of the card I used an accessory of Christmas string lights from the Holiday Truck set.

 Jr. Hatter Kit

Hair: Black, Cold Grey VI, Cold Grey III and White
For the lights:

LMMS: Wicked Good Friend!

Hello and Welcome back to my blog.


For this week's Inspirational Thursday card for Little Miss Muffet Stamps. I used Polka Dot Pals Tamsin and a Polka Dot Pals Add-on Faces. I like that there's a twist on this little witch because she has some Steampunk Gear on. I think next time I create with this image I will work with a steampunk background as well- probably one of those cool ones from Make It Crafty. For now I just wanted to make it bright and a tad bit of a spooky night sky.

Polka Dot Pals Tamsin and a Polka Dot Pals Add-on Faces. 

I used lots and lots of colors to create this card and had fun doing so.... that's some of my

crafty mess but too embarrassed to show my entire desk. LOL 

The odd thing this time is that I didn't complete the face and coloring first like I usually do.

I was a little bit hung up on the leather colors I wanted to use. I knew I wanted her to be a redhead though. I think you'll be proud of me this time 'cause I actually took note (pictures) of most the colors I used but I still typed the ones I didn't take a photo of. Usually I get into my coloring and don't write colors down. haha

The Copic Colors + 1 Polychromos Color Pencil I used:

Leather: E99, YR24 and E39

Blouse/Scarf: R29, R56, R39 and R46

Pants: E53, E84 and E55

At first I wanted to do some copper but I then changed my mind because

I thought it would conflict with her red hair and reddish brown leather. 

I went with a brass tone for her goggles, buttons/hardware.

Brass: Y23, Y26, Y28, E87 and E84

Lens: BG13, B63, BV13, V22 and YR23

Skin: E0000, B000, E21, E000 and E30 

Hair: E09, YR23 and YR27

Eyes: YG61, YG67, YG61 and YG00

Bat: V04, V06, V22, R56, N4 and N6

Broom:Y15, E84, E43,  E71, E42 and R39

Moon: Y00, Y15 and Y11

Night Sky: BG11, BG13, BG05 and B28

To create the clouds I scribbled the 0 Colorless Blender

Clouds: 0, B28, BG11, Y00 

and a Polychromos Color Pencil White.

and to create the spooky tree I use drew in some lines with N9

trees: N9

Here's a close-up 

I hope you liked my card,
