There She Goes blog hop challenge - introducing This Is My Life

(Please scroll down for my CC Designs DT post)

It's new release week for There She Goes and we have four days of sneak peeks before they are in the shop!  Today we are showing you a very fun set that can be used on cards or layouts - This Is My Life by illustrator Torico!  I think it's perfect for those late teenagers to early 20 year olds out there.

 

Here is my Trendsetter make...

I think my 20 year old nephew will love this!  I matched this stamp up with Digital Design Essentials Happy Place papers, plain Little Miss Muffet party bunting and finished off with a little black button.

You can check out more gorgeous Trendsetter inspiration from the inlinkz below and check out all the deets here.  And don't forget to join in with the blog hop and leave comments along the way for a chance to win prizes!


Okay, thanks for visiting and I'll be back tomorrow with another sneak peek!

I can get into a Pig-kini!

There is still plenty of time to join with our Summer Fun theme at the new Whimsie Doodles June monthly challenge!  You don't have to use Whimsie Doodles images to win a prize of a WD digi of your choice from the new release but you do if you'd like to be considered for our August Guest Artist!  The Guest Artist gets the whole new release for August to play with too!  So, here is my DT make using Pig-Kini (what a great name!!)...

  

I love this range of sunny, funny farm animals!  I matched her up with Digital Design Essentials Oh Happy Day papers, popped her on a Nesties scallop die and used part of my Little Miss Muffet banner die  with some white punched out hearts popped on it.

Okay, I am off now but thanks for visiting and I'll see you later on my blog rounds!

TSG Penelope/Nutmeg/Journal Lines Blog Hop Challenge

It's Day Two of this month's There She Goes blog hop challenges, and we have the first of our two new artists releasing 3 AMAZING new stamp sets!!

This month we are introducing a BRAND new artist to There She Goes, Megan Suarez, illustrator of cute those Dilly Beans!! She has started us out with three FABULOUS stamp sets, which we think you are going to love. Her style is a touch on the side of gothic, but so much fun. We can’t wait to see what’s next with this AMAZING designer!!

Penelope & Birdcage is a 3x4 set that includes a total of 4 stamps and will sell for $9.00.

Nutmeg is a 3x4 set that includes a total of 5 stamps and will sell for $9.00.

Journal lines is a 3x4 set that includes 1 stamp, and will sell for $9.00.

Here is my make using Penelope...

Isn't she adorable?  I love the simplicity of her and the matching sentiment is so sweet too!  There is also a bird in a cage that matches this set which I love too!  I matched her up with Sara Schmutz Nursery Rhymes digi papers, used my Craft Concepts embossing folder and my Little Miss Muffet banner die finished with some twine.  I'm entering this card into the Simon Says Stamp anything goes challenge.
 

Would you like to win all three new stamp sets from Megan Suarez?  Visit the Trendsetter’s blogs that are participating in each of the blog hop challenges below and comment on their creations as you go. One of the Trendsetter’s blogs (from each hop day) will be randomly chosen as the ‘it’ blog and a winner will be picked using a random number generator from the comments left on that Trendsetter’s Blog Hop Challenge post.  You will not know which blog has been chosen so the more you comment on the better your chances are of winning new stamps! The Blog Hop Challenges will be open until 5 PM Eastern Time Saturday, March 30^th with the winner being announced during the release party chat.

I'll be back tomorrow with Day 3 of the There She Goes Blog Hop Challenge!

MilkCoffee design team cards

Hi everyone!  I have two cards today using more gorgeous MilkCoffee Stamps.  First up is my card for our fortnightly showcase team projects and this week we set our theme for monochromatic.  Now, I hate this technique - I find it so limiting!  But I'm ok with how mine came out using Halloween Tiffany as Sexy Cat Girl...

Ain't she the sexiest?!  I wish my bum was that pert too!  I used Summertime Designs digi papers called A Bootiful Night.

Today I am also guest designing for the new Forever Friends challenge that  MilkCoffee Stamps are sponsoring.  This week's theme is a bingo and here is my make for it using the line ribbon - pink - gems...

This cute couple is called Lily and Her Cat and I matched her up with Prima.  I hope you get a chance to join in with this challenge for a chance to win your own gorgeous  MilkCoffee Stamps!
Okay, I am off now but back later with day 4 of the All That Scraps previews!

(Please scroll down for my MilkCoffee Stamps DT post!)

There's a new fortnightly challenge over at Little Miss Muffet starting today and the theme is 'anything but square'.  So we wanna see anything that isn't your usual square - but of course if you a image you can make whatever you want!  I decided to use the sweet, playful Nightwind from the new release Hills of Mooradale range...

I love these beautiful images by illustrator Simply Sophia!  And did you see - no designer paper!  I usually rely on them so much but I didn't think this beauty needed anything to detract from it.  The sentiment is from the CC Designs Sweet November A Little Bit Of Magic Sentiments set and I used My Favorite Things Die-NamicsJumbo Cloud STAX and sun die.

This is also my last DT make for Little Miss Muffet  :(  I have loved being on this team but I've made more lovely lovely friends who I'll stalk regularly still!  I hope you get to play along - link up your non-square projects here!

 I am entering my card into the following challenges:

Little Miss Muffet new release!

There's a new Little Miss Muffet release of the gorgeous The Isles of Aldmer range.  Here is my DT make using Lightning and Silverstar...

Isn't this image just gorgeous?!  This is such a dreamy romantic couple, I am going to send her to my reently engaged friend who is a bit of a hippie (she describes herself like that!!) - I know she will love this!  If you take a closer look, you can see the rings on their horns...

They were so dreamy to colour in too - for the hair I used mainly Copic C greys, but also a touch of YG93 too.  I matched them up with BasicGrey Origins papers and My Favorite Things Die-Namics Sentiments Strips die, Vine Border, Wonky Scallop border die and Rolled Daisy die. I used this week's Sketch Saturday...errr...sketch!

Okay, that is it from me - you can check out more The Isles of Aldmer gorgossity over on the blog here!

There's a new challenge over at Little Miss Muffet and this fortnight we want to see anything to do with writing!  Here is my DT make using the delightfully pretty Eleanor May Hatter stamp...

 I created the flower using pages from my old Lord of The Ring part 2 book that Lulu chewed up when she was a puppy!  I matched this little lady up with My Minds Eye Follow Your Heart papers and I used this week's The Sweet Stop sketch.

That really is it from me for today!  You can see more pink inspiration over at the Little Miss Muffet challenge blog!

I love the new illustrator Simply Sophia and her new "The Isles of Aldmer" range for Little Miss Muffet.  I have used Rosealba Faerie and I just love her little friends!  I used Michele R Designs digi papers called Softly Spring Papers that I distressed and inked the edges.  Die-wise, I used the Tessatina Border by Memory Box and the C.C.

Isn't she beautiful?  And I love that beautiful cat too!   I just had to go organic with this so I used MFT Die-Namics Vine Border.  I stamped her on my fave Make It Colour Blending Card and coloured with my Copics.  I used the Whimsy Shapeology ticket die and the sentiment is from the Whimsy Friendship Ticket Sentiments Set.

I used this week's Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge 165...
