 Here is my first project.  I made a cute wall hanging decoration for the kitchen featuring sweet Ratatouille. I found this cutting board at Michael's Arts and Crafts and I painted it in a yellow/cream color. Then applied the "Fruit Basket" papers to the board for some color and a raffia bow and other flowers and buttons were added to embellish this wall hanging.  I've tucked in a little sentiment from the new "Fairytale sentiments" also released with this collection.

My next project is this book box. I've seen so many book boxes in blog land that I decided to give one a try myself.  This cutie is Princess Peanelope.  Again, I've embellished with flowers and pearls. Also, I added another sentiment from the new Fairytale sentiments collection. This collection of papers is from the yummy Summer Sorbet collection.

These projects were so fun to make. I hope you enjoyed them and can let me know what you think. Thanks for stopping by and have fun hopping!

Little Darlings Rubberstamps - Daddy's Girl

Hi Everyone! Well after a very frustrating week of losing internet connection I am back.  I definitely need to buy a new computer but in the interim we attached a wireless router to my laptop. But my computer is taking so long to connect to sites and even blogging has been difficult and taking way too long.  I am pulling my hair out. But at least it will get the job done while I continue blogging and posting my cards.  I'm thinking about getting an Apple computer but having used PCs all these years, I wonder if blogging and uploading pictures will be difficult or different for me on an Apple?  If anyone has any advice, please let me know.

Well today I wanted to share with you a card I made using this Saturated Canary image: Daddy's Girl.

She is super cute! I use Cryogen White paper to color on and as you can see, my camera reflected the sparkly bits on the paper.  It doesn't quite look like this in person.  I wish I new how to fix that, I did not use the flash when photographing this card. Again, if anyone has any advice, let me know. :)

The tag is a sentiment collection from Little Darlings Rubberstamps called Tag Alongs. Papers also by Little Darlings Rubberstamps called Summer Sorbet. I've embellished with flowers, ribbon, trim, a cute bear charm, and old fashioned pink tinsel that I found at Michael's Arts and Crafts. My image is colored with copics.

I will enter my card at the following challenges:

Catch the Bug - anything goes
Our Creative Corner - anything goes
Send a smile 4 Kids - Happy Father's Day (from kids)
Eclectic Ellapu - anything goes
Fashionable Stamping Challenges - anything goes

Please come back on Tuesday, May 7 at 8PM.  The Little Darlings Rubberstamps Design Team is having a new release blog hop.  You don't want to miss seeing these absolutely adorable new Saturated Canary stamps.  Hope you can stop by and take the hop.  Check out the challenge blog on Tuesday for the hop details HERE.

Thanks for stopping by! Hope to see you here tomorrow!

Little Darlings Rubberstamps - Lilliana

Hi Everyone! I am back today to show you a card that I made using this new CHA released rubberstamp by Saturated Canary.  This stamp will be available soon from Little Darlings Rubberstamps.

This is Lilliana. She's one of my favorite new stamps from this release.  She reminded me of myself when I was young so I colored her as I saw myself  (with faded jeans and bright t-shirt) and added a bicycle diecut which was my favorite activity at this age.

Here is a closeup. As always, I colored my image with copics (E13, E11, E00, E000, R24, R22, R20, B95, B93, B91, B000, E35, E33, E31, C7, C5, C3, C1, C00, YG95, YG91).

Little Darlings Rubberstamps - Zumba Chick

Hi Everyone! I had so much fun coloring up this gorgeous new Saturated Canary image from Little Darlings Rubberstamps.  Isn't she gorgeous?

My 10 year old daughter takes a zumba class after school every week and she absolutely loves it. I couldn't wait to color up this image for her.

As always, I used copics to color her up and the letters were cut out with a Memory Box die that I picked up at Magnolia-licious.

That's all for now.  Thanks for visiting me everyone! Have a great day! xox

Little Darlings Inspiration - It's a Celebration

Hi Everyone!  This is Angela and it's my turn to post at the Little Darlings Inspiration Blog.  Our theme this month is CELEBRATIONS.

So today I made a fun party card using Party Hardy from the new Saturated Canary Winter 2012 rubber stamp release.

I've used mainly purples on my card but for some reason they photographed very dark and the color looks almost brown unfortunately.  Otherwise, I'm happy with how this card turned out.  My flowers are by WOC and the papers I used today are by Lilybee Designs - Picket Fence paper pack.  My image was colored with copics: E11, E00, E000, R20, B06, B02, B000, B0000, E19, E18, E17, E13, R85, R83, R81, RV10, W3, W1, W00, BV13, BV11, BV00, BV000, E35, E33, E31.

Here is a closeup:

Well, that's it from me today.  I hope you enjoyed my card today and can let me know what you think. Thanks and have a great day! xo

Saturated Canary New Release Blog Hop

Hi Everyone!  Welcome to the new  Saturated Canary rubber stamp release today!  This release will just blow you away!  Each image is sooo cute and I can't wait to color each and every one.  Wait till you see them all and I'm sure you'll agree.

So today I have a few things to show you.  First up,  I've used Cocoa Girl and created a little teacher's gift.  I made my mug using an octagonal spellbinder die.  I filled it with cocoa and marshmallows.  A cute and inexpensive teacher's gift (of course you can insert a gift card to your favorite coffee shop too).  I also used Cocoa Girl for my card.  Isn't she darling?

Next up is the lovely Rebecca. And is she ever gorgeous!  I've tried something different than my usual and colored her all in gray.  My first attempt, what do you think?  I also took a french twist to my card.  I like the pink and gray color combination.

You can get these images along with the entire collection at  Little Darlings Rubber Stamps

Little Darlings - Saturated Canary Windy Day

Hi Everyone! This is Angela and we have a new monthly inspiration for you today.  This month our theme is Die/Dye It. So I chose to use Dies on my project today. I made a wall hanging for my daughter to hang in her bedroom using my favorite Saturated Canary image from Little Darlings.  This is Windy Day:

I used a spellbinder grand oval die for this project and also 2 papertrey ink cloud dies.  My background image is from Make It Crafty - Rainbow background digi image that I thought worked perfectly with this image.


Here is a bit of a  closer look:

I added lace and beads around my scene.  I think it will look pretty hanging in my daughter's room which is outdoor themed.  I hope she likes it!

I will enter this at the following challenges:

Fab 'n' Funky Challenge - no patterned paper
Ink it Pink - anything goes
Penny's Paper-Crafty Challenge blog - diecuts and/or punches
Stampotique Designers Challenge - weather

Well thanks for visiting me today. Have a great day!

Saturated Canary - Wendy

Hi Everyone! I'm back today to show you one of the cards that I made for the Little Darlings booth at CHA.

This is Wendy. Isn't she just the cutest thing? Little Darlings is now manufacturing the Saturated Canary Rubberstamps line. Isn't that great? LD has also come out with their own paper line designed by our very own Mindy Baxter. That girl has waaay too much talent! And I'm loving these papers, this one is called Chocolate Covered Cherry and is available for preorder at Little Darlings Rubberstamps.
