Christmas Card...

Hi everyone!  Happy Wednesday!! It's time Lollipop Crafts Sponsor Spotlight Week #1 featuring Robyn's Fetish. Take a peek over here to learn more of this fantastic digi stamp company! For my spotlight card, I have the cute Gingerbread Baby...

Followed an older sketch from Freshly Made Sketches and used some scrap Christmas paper from Recollections line. Can you see the shiny sparkly icing on the gingerbread? Fun to try to make it look like real icing.

Do you have time to make a card or two for a great cause? This card will be donated to the Make a Keiki Smile organization. Kris (the co-owner of Lollipop Crafts) and her aunty are collaborating this year again to bring some big happy smiles to the kids at Holy Cross Hospital. Check out all the details here on Kris' blog. 

Thanks for stopping by...

Have a fantastic day! ;D

Hi All! Hope everyone had a great weekend! Ready for a brand new challenge at Lollipop Crafts? We have both teams creating for this week's theme ...  ANYTHING GOES!   That's a perfect fit for my project that I finished this weekend...

The "Thank You Tiles" stamps are from Whimsy Stamps, which is where my inspiration to make this set of cards came from. Followed this tutorial at SCS, but changed the size to fit the 4x4 cards. The dp is from K&C's Julianne paper pack, and ribbon is May Arts. Cut the stamped tiles out in a square nestie and framed it with another nestie (labels 3).
Here are a couple more pics of the cards and box...

So what am I going to do with this? Well, it's going to my Nov. Secret Sister! Hope she likes it and can use it too! This month's theme is "Thanks" ... we have alot to be thankful for these days. Including a big THANK YOU to our fabulous hostess of Secret Sister Swap, Kris P! (if you want to join in on the fun, click HERE.) and thanks to all my Secret Sisters for the gorgeous fun swaps that I have received!

Well, that's it for today. Remember to stop by Lollipop Crafts to see all the wonderful projects by both teams members... and hope you can play along!

Cards made with luv...

Happy Monday! What did you do this weekend?? We, my kids and I, finished our christmas cards that we are sending off to Kris, where she and her aunty are having a "Make A Child Smile"card drive. I already started with one from my previous post here, then I asked my kids if they wanted to make some with me. So we got busy this weekend and came up with some fun cards...

these were made by my son...

and my daughter made these...

and I made two more...

They really had a great time making them, especially since they got to use my Copics! Not too often does that happen!! LOL! But it was for a good cause...and they want to do more cards! So there is another drive that we will be donating to, and you can find out more here.

Thanks for stopping by! ;D 

Holidays are coming...

Good Morning peeps! Hope you all had a fabulous weekend... I had to work, so not as much craft time that I had planned on. But I did get to finish my card for a new challenge this week for Lollipop Crafts... Make a CARD with NO SENTIMENTS ALLOWED!

My card features Cookie Emma from C.C. Designs. She's dressed in her black velvet holiday outfit and having a warm sweet chocolate chip cookie. The color inspiration is from ATS new monthly challenge called Show & Tell with C.C. Designs - black, burnt orange, and tan. This gorgeous paper is from "me&my BIG ideas" line... an old set of paper pad I got a loooong time ago, that has tropical summer papers. But this one kinda just fits into what I wanted... holiday in the tropics!
I wanted to add some more embellies, but this one is going to Kris for her card drive that she is doing with her aunty. YAYYY! I made one...LOL... but I will be making more with my kids! If you would like to help bring a smile to a child's day, click here for more deets.

This week Lollipop Crafts challenge is being sponsored by Robyn's Fetish. Be sure to stop by the LC blog for all the deets and see more inspiration from the team!

Hello Friends...

Did you see this week's FFC's Mystery Monday with Amy Young? If you haven't, check this out...

The card she made is sooo darn cute, as ALL of her cards and Sweet November designs are always inspiring! Make sure to visit Amy, you'll be sure to get lots of sweetness!
Onto my card...

I chose to case the way Amy made cut-outs of the images. Instead of button shapes, the four Anyas are cut with a nestie, and each girl represent the seasons winter, spring, summer and fall. And who doesn't need a friend, all year long! Added some gorgeous flowers (candy from KrisP), stickles in Crystal Ice, and got this sentiment from Studio G at Michael's.

Well gonna keep this short...have a ton of things to do!

How easy and fun is that? My card today features Fleur Anya, she is so pretty and easy to bling her up!

Used gold Stickles, pearls, and Sakura Clear Star pen to bling up my card.

Perfect for summer themes... like FFC's Summer Lovin' challenge!

Candy Land....

Hi all! I'm so excited to share my first project with you as part of the Lollipop Crafts DT! Our hostess this week is Kris, and the challenge is to create anything but a card! Now what perfect timing to do little treat box for Valentine's Day!

This week's challenge is sponsered by Meljen's Designs, and they are offering 4 digis to one lucky winner! There are a ton of whimsy cute images, not to mention lots freebies to choose from . . . a new one every Monday! I chose Candy Land Dreams for my treat box. Colored the image with copics, made it sparkly and shiney with stickles and glossy accents! Doesn't it look yummy!! Fiddled around with the measurements, I turned a basic card into a treat box just right for holding a couple of bite-sized candies!

Be sure to join the fun over at Lollipop Crafts to see more gorgeous projects from the team, and for a chance to win your choice of 4 digis from Meljen's Designs!
