Little Darling Challenges - Boy Card

Time for another challenge at Little Darlings Rubberstamps. Our challenge this week is to make a boy card.  Here is my card (I love this sweet boy!):

I used Me & My Teddybear from the Cutie Pie Collection at Little Darlings Rubberstamps. And he's currently on sale, hurry on over and pick him up before he sells out.  I also paired him up with this awesome Warm Fuzzies Birthday sentiment stamp also from Little Darlings Rubberstamps. Hope you'll check them out at the store and while your there, check out the clearance section where there are lots of embellies and paper pads on sale at greatly reduced prices.

Well that's all for now. Stay tuned for our next challenge where Little Darlings will be releasing a new Cutie Pie collection, and boy are they cuuuuute!  See you next time! xo

Little Darlings & Scor-pal Blog Hop

Hello everyone! Today Little Darlings has teamed up with the Scor-pal DT for a blog hop. We used our scor-pals in combination with our Little Darlings stamps and here is the project I created for this hop:

I made an individual cupcake box. Wouldn't it be fun to give away this treat box at Halloween parties with a yummy cupcake inside? My scor-pal made this project so easy to create. I think I use my scor-pal every day - it is invaluable.

These papers are by Debbie Mumm and I've had them for such a long time. The designs in this paper pack are so cute, I wish I had another pack of these papers.

I couldn't resist using this LD image again - this one is my favorite from the Fall release. This image is called Autumn Friends and you can find it HERE.

Here is the order for the hop, please make sure you start at the beginning:

Score-pal
Angie
Katie
Ruby
Sara
Gini
Louise
Myrna
Lisa
Mindy 
Janiel 
Steph
Angela -- YOU ARE HERE
Love to Stamp

Scor-Pal is giving away a Scor-Buddy to a lucky commentor and also Love To Stamp will be giving away the entire new fall release to a lucky commentor. Don't forget to visit the Little Darlings Challenge blog tomorrow to leave a comment . Have fun hopping!

Little Darlings Sneak Peek #2

Happy Sunday to you! I am back with another sneak peek from Little Darlings. This image is called "Throwing Leaves."

Doesn't she look like she's having fun? So sweet! I coupled her with my favorite oak tree by Magnolia. I sponged the background using distress ink and I used flowersoft for my grass. I used the Dutch Mustard Jillibean Soup paper pad again for this card.

I will enter this card at the following challenges:

Crafting for all Seasons - fall colors
I Brake for Challenges - fall
More Than Favors Wacky Wednesday - fall theme
Penny's Paper Crafty - fall

Well, that's it for today. Thanks for stopping by and have a great week!

Little Darlings Fall New Release Sneek Peek

Hello everyone! Are you enjoying this autumn weather like I am? I just love this season! We'll be closing up the pool this weekend and if I know my daughter, she'll be climbing into the attic looking for our fall decorations. In a couple week we'll head on over to the local pumpkin farm and pick out a few pumpkins to add to our decorating. Fun!

Anyways, today Love To Stamp has a new Little Darlings fall release. This weekend and coming week the DT has sneak peeks of this adorable new release.  Today I am showing you "Autumn Friends:"

The template for this little gift bag/purse came from a gift that my daughter had received. I thought the style was so cute so I opened up the purse, traced it onto cardstock, and recreated this version. The bag is large enough for a gift card or a very small gift.  These papers are called Dutch Mustard from the Jillibean Soup Collection and can be found at Love To Stamp. These papers are perfect for fall! So warm and yummy and Love To Stamp has the best prices for 6x6 paper pads!

I used copics to color my image today. Other tools used are Magnolia Doohickey flower dies, Martha Stewart border punch, and spellbinder circle die and lacy circle die. Flowers are from WOC. The ribbon and wooden heart button are from Michaels Arts and Crafts.

I will enter this card at the following challenges:

Crafting for all Seasons - fall colors
I Brake for Challenges - fall
More Than Favors Wacky Wednesday - fall theme
Penny's Paper Crafty - fall
Simon Says Stamp - use dies or punches

Well that's it for today.  Come back on Sunday for my next sneak peek of this adorable new release! See you then!

Little Darlings - Brown and Red

Our challenge today at Little Darlings Challenges is to use the colors brown and red primarily.  I created this card using "Checking It Twice" Little Darlings image.

Don't you love his little bunny slippers? Hehehe, too cute! The papers I used  today are Nitwits digi papers. The copic colors I used today are: E11, E00, E000, R27, R24, R22, R20, E53, E51, E50, C5, C3, C1, C00, E31, YR23, Y23, Y000. Other tools I used are the seam binding and metal corner by WOC, spellbinder die, EK Success border punch.

I hope you like my Christmas card today and will let me know what you think. Please visit Little Darlings Challenges to see the rest of the DTs beautiful projects. I hope you can play along with us. Have a great week!

The Official Magnolia Inspiration Challenge - TOMIC 15

Our challenge today at TOMIC is coordinating with this month's issue of Magnolia Ink which has a chocolate theme.  So here is my creation for today:

I used that sweet cupcake template that Lillemor created and was in the Magnolia Ink chocolate issue. I love this little basket and it was so easy to make. Wouldn't it be cute for little party favors for your child's birthday?

This adorable Tilda is Oops Tilda from the "A Little Yummy For Your Tummy Collection."   I also used the butterfly and swirl doohickey dies from Magnolia to accent this project and my papers are digital papers from Nitwits. That fun pink fringe that I used to mimick frosting is from Love To Stamp - love that stuff!

I will enter this project at the following challenges:

Allsorts - flowers and swirls
Stamp Something - anything goes
Wags n Whiskers - anything but a card
Colour Create - pink, brown, cream, white

Ready for Christmas? and..... Blog Candy

Hello stamping friends! I am back from a much needed vacation and break from posting.  The summer's always feel like they fly by don't they? But I got to spend alot of time with my family making happy memories!

Had a great time earlier this month at Hershey Park. Definately the place to take your family if you like rides and my kids love them!  I'm ready for the cooler weather though, I do love the fall season. But before we start the fall cards, I have a Little Darlings Christmas image to show you.  Here is the card I made using "All For Me:"

I paired this cute Little Darling image that I got from Love To Stamp with this Christmas tree digi image that I had saved on my computer. I'm not quite sure where the tree came from but it could be a Mo Manning image...?  I thought the images fit nicely together.  What do you think?

I colored this image with copics and the papers used today are from the Basic Grey Jovial paper pack and my flowers are from WOC. The brads and stickers were part of my stash and I also used a Martha Stewart punch and Spellbinder die to make this card.
