I'm back!

I said I would be back with a Little Miss Muffet Stamps card today, and here I am!  But first, did you see all the fabulous new releases over at the Little Miss Muffet Stamps challenge blog?  And there's an awesome sale on until the end of the weekend!  And one more thing... Barbara and her daughter are fundraising for the Monarch Butterfly Fund... Check out all the details HERE.

So, here's my LMM card for today using the cute Sugar n Spice boy doll... Dill:

I based this card on last week's sketch from Feeling Sketchy, but I am posting this way to late to enter the challenge unfortunately.  The papers are a mixture from my stash and the ribbon is from The Ribbon Girl.  The bling is by Prima and the sentiment is a sticker from SRM.

Here's a close-up of Dill:

Isn't he sweet?!  Don't forget we are mid-challenge over at Little Miss Muffet stamps and it's a yummy one!  We want to see your creations in the theme of Neapolitan icecream (strawberry, chocolate and vanilla) or if you use a Little Miss Muffet stamps image then you can submit a project using the theme Anything Goes.

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:

Twisted Tuesday Challenges: Free for all

Kaboodle Doodles: Birthday or Special Day

Alrighty then... I'm off to bed!  See you later!

New Releases at Little Miss Muffet Stamps!

Good morning!  I just wanted to let you know there are new releases being showcased today on the Little Miss Muffet stamps blog!  I haven't had a chance to use one of them yet, but you can check them all out over HERE.  If you have the news badge on your blog, you could be the lucky winner of the release!

I'll be back later with a non new release Little Miss Muffet Stamps card to share.

Sepia tones

Good morning!  I hope you all had a lovely weekend!  We had to do a day trip with guests on the boat yesterday, but it was pretty easy.  Next week the full on summer season starts for us and we will be really busy!

The word at the moment (subject to change) is that we will be meeting an unknown number of guests up in the Ionian islands (one of whom will be a vegetarian) on Friday and may or may not stay there for the rest of the month with guests coming and going.  It would be nice to know definitively, but that's just not how this boat works.  I will try to provision for every eventuality and then the guests will remark on the food they find in every cupboard they open on the boat and I'll tell them it's because they can't make up their minds what they want to do!

Anyway, I have a Little Miss Muffet Stamps card to share with you today in sepia tones...  I used the rubber stamp version of Camila and stamped her in brown memento ink rather than my usual black.

The papers I used are from my scraps and from My Mind's Eye.  I stamped some grunge corners from LOTV in brown ink over them and the sentiment is also from LOTV.  The lovely velvet ribbon is from The Ribbon Girl and the button is from Crate Paper.  The butterflies are from Maya Road.  I coloured Camila with copics.  (I'll update this post with the colours I used later).

Here's a close-up of Camila:

Raggedy Ann's boyfriend

Good morning!  It's another day of new releases at Little Miss Muffet Stamps and today we have some brand new digital stamps being released!  I'm super excited because one of them is one I asked Barbara for...  Raggedy Ann's boyfriend Andy!  Head on over to the challenge blog and check out all the other newbies being released today as well!

Here's my card using Chili Pepper as Raggedy Andy:

Isn't he gorgeous?!  Just perfect to go with Paprika as Raggedy Ann!  The papers I have used are all from my ever growing scrap piles and I'm not sure where they are from.  The yacht card is from My Mind's Eye (it's old) and the charm is from my stash.  The sentiment is a sticker from SRM.

Here's a close-up:

Monday Inspiration at Little Miss Muffet Stamps!

Good morning!  It's Monday again!  I hope everyone had a fabulous weekend!  My husband and I had a really lovely time in Santorini.  It's so beautiful and so nice and relaxing there!  We finally found a decent hotel in Greece (of course we had to pay a lot more for it though) with a comfortable bed and amazing views and we did lots of exploring by car and walking.  One of the nice things about our hotel was that they served each room their own private breakfast on their private balconies!  We had breakfast, privacy, and a beautiful caldera view! Bliss!  

That was probably the last free weekend we'll have all summer, so I'm really glad we took advantage of it and got to see one of the nicer parts of Greece while we are here.  Now it's back to business as usual.

We have some fabulous Monday Inspiration being showcased over at Little Miss Muffet stamps today to kick start your week creatively!  And later in the week we might even have some new releases!  Make sure you have the News Badge on your blog and have added your name to the linky if you want a chance of winning this week's new releases!

Here's my card for today using Summer Breeze in her rubber stamp version:

The papers are from October Afternoon, Hambly Screenprints and Crate Paper and the ribbon is from The Ribbon Girl.  The tags and grunge corners are from LOTV and I stamped them in Rich Cocoa ink from Memento for a softer look.

I will update my copic colours this evening.

Here's a close-up of Summer Breeze:

Wilma Kay Hatter

Good morning!  Yes, I know, I'm a whole day late with my Little Miss Muffet Stamps post!  Sorry!  I forgot to take my photos for my card in time to make this post yesterday.    It's round about mid-challenge at Little Miss Muffet stamps and the DT girls were given free rein to create some inspiration for your viewing pleasure yesterday.   Head on over to the challenge blog and see what fabulousness they came up with!  And don't forget you've still got just under a week to get your Sparkle entry into our current challenge!

I decided to use Wilma Kay Hatter for my card, but I'm not sold on the colour combo I used:

I followed this week's sketch from Feeling Sketchy, but I have turned it on it's side to fit my image:

The stamp is Wilma Kay Hatter, a red rubber foam mounted stamp available from Little Miss Muffet Stamps.  The papers I have used are from October Afternoon (Cakewalk) as is the sentiment sticker.  The sentiment itself is a rubon from Pebbles.  The ribbon is from The Ribbon Girl.  The bling is from Prima and the flower is from Making Memories.  

Here's a close-up of Wilma Kay Hatter:

I will update with my copic colours later... I can't find my notepad right now.

Have a lovely day!  

I'm soooo tired!  We have lots of dogs in our neighborhood and now that it's summer they obviously sleep outside on people's balconies and the people here just let them bark ALL NIGHT!  It's unbelievable!  You so wouldn't get away with that in NZ.  I sleep with ear plugs and they still wake me up!

Anyway, must go and do some work!

Ciao!

Sugar, Sugar...

Hello!  I'm late posting again!   It's the busy season I tell you...  Anyway, I wanted to share a Little Miss Muffet Stamps card I made using the recently released digital image called Sugar as Swan Princess.  I think she's so cute!  This is the first time I have had a chance to sit down and colour her though which is a shame because she was fun to colour!

Here's my card:

I based this card on the following sketch from Papertake Weekly:

The papers I used are mainly from Crate Paper plus a few others from my stash.  The flower is from Prima, the ribbon is from The Ribbon Girl and the eyelet lace was a gift from Maria Therese.  The sentiment is a sticker from SRM.

Here's a close-up:

And here are the copics I used:

I hope you enjoyed that little bit of Monday inspiration!  Check out my fabulous teamies' projects over on the Challenge blog and don't forget you still have plenty of time to get your Sparkly creations in to our current challenge!

Bailey

Good morning!  This is just a quick post from me today... I have a card to share using one of the new rubber stamps from Little Miss Muffet Stamps... Bailey.  She's a little bit different from her (now retired) digital version as she has been mirrored in rubber version and also her hands have fingers (before they were more mitten-like).

Before I share my card... there is a new challenge up at Little Miss Muffet stamps.  The theme is Sparkle (or Anything Goes if you use a Little Miss Muffet Stamps image).  Head on over and check out the gorgeous DT creations!

Here's my card:

Isn't she lovely?  Her hair is rather fun to colour!  The papers I have used are mainly from the Cosmo Cricket Clementine collection.  I don't actually like the general colours of this collection, but there are a few papers in it that I do like (particularly the chevrons) so I am working my way through them.  The other papers are from Pink Paisley and Echo Park (I think).  The lovely eyelet lace is from my blog friend Maria Therese, the ribbon is from The Ribbon Girl and the sentiment is a sticker from SRM.  The crystals are by Prima.

Here's a close-up:

And here are the copics I used:

I based this card on the following sketch from Amusing Challenges:

Monday Inspiration at Little Miss Muffet Stamps

Good morning!  Happy Monday!  I'm exhausted myself... but have heaps of things to do, so I had better hop to it!  It's Monday Inspiration time at  Little Miss Muffet stamps and since I already shared my cards with you, I thought I would do a little recap.

These six Little Misses images in their digital form will be retiring this Wednesday and will be available in their new rubber versions instead:

Here are a few of the cards I made last week using the new rubber versions:

Taylor (who comes with the hat as an extra stamp in her rubber version)

Spring Whisper (who comes with two bunny rabbits as extras in her rubber version):

and Camila

Okay, that's it from me today!  Do check out my lovely and talented teamies cards over at the Little Miss Muffet challenge blog!  And don't forget you still have a few days left to enter our current challenge... it's super easy... Loads of Layers!

Ciao!

Camila

Good morning!  I'm back with another Little Miss Muffet stamps creation using the gorgeous Camila in her new red rubber verion.  The digital version of Camila is going to be retired on Wednesday at midnight CST, so if you are a keen digi user and you haven't got her yet, you had better hop to it!  And if you place an order before the end of the weekend Barbara will throw in a Sugar n Spice doll digi for free!

Here's my card:

This is not a colour combo I'm all that comfortable using, but I actually quite like how the card turned out!  I used the ColourQ challenge #142 colour combo and the sketch from Tuesday Morning Sketches.  The papers are from Studio Calico, Crate Paper and someone else.  The ribbon is from The Ribbon Girl and the brad and flower are from my stash.  The sentiment is from Crate Paper.

Here is the colour combo:

And here is the sketch:

Here's a close-up of Camila:

Have a lovely Sunday!
