Winter Colors for LMMS

I'm still alive! Sorry for the lack of posts but on Nov.30 my area was hit with a 7.0 earthquake and while my home was spared any damage the school I work at was pretty much destroyed and today we combine with our high school next door to become a 6-12 school. There's been a lot of stress and upheaval the past few weeks and things are finally (hopefully) settling down!

There's a new challenge over at the Little Miss Muffet Stamps blog and I pulled out one of my favorite go to stamps this holiday season, Holiday Truck. I used colors that I normally wouldn't think about it (I'm not a purple fan) but I recently bought some paper pads at Michaels (70%off, woohoo!) and these colors were pulled straight from these papers.

Peace for LMMS

It's time for a new challenge over at the Little Miss Muffet Stamps blog and this week I'm using the Moose Love digital stamp for my card. I really love the various moose images that Little Miss Muffet Stamps offers and this one with a mama and baby is too sweet.

I used the current sketch from The Paper Players for my card along with some retired DSP from SU that has just the right outdoor feel I needed to go along with my image.

Merry Christmoose for LMMS

It's time for a new challenge over at the Little Miss Muffet Stamps blog and this week I decided to create a little winter scene on my card. I combined 2 images, Moose Jingles and Winter Scene, to create a simple but fun scene. After I colored the image with copic markers I fussy cut along the top edges and then adhered the image panel for a section of patterned paper that looks like snow falling from the sky. I then pulled out a sentiment from my stash and put the sentiment banner at the top left of the card. Nice and simple card ready to mail off for Christmas!

Happy Christmas for LMMS

Working night shift my days often blend together and that's what happened this week...I took Weds off from work and got so busy enjoying Halloween that I forgot about Thursday and posting my card for Little Miss Muffet Stamps, ooops!

This week I'm once again featuring the Holiday Truck digital image. I just love this truck and all the different ways it can be used. This time I decided to use the trees, ax and lights on my truck and I used some retired SU DSP I had in my stash. I really like these papers with this image!

Getting Cozy for LMMS

It's time for a new challenge over at the Little Miss Muffet Stamps blog and it's our 200th challenge! Wow, 200, can you believe it? As always it's Anything Goes so grab your favorite Little Miss Muffet Stamps rubber stamp or digi and head on over to play along!

For my card I'm featuring Holiday Truck again. Have I said lately how much I love this digi and the possibilities it offers? I seriously can't get enough of it! This time I kept it simple and used one of my favorite dies to create a frame, adding patterned paper that I thought went well with the Holiday Truck. I stamped the sentiment in white on the frame and to the left of the image and then I popped up the Holiday Truck with dimensionals to really make it pop off the front.

Christmas Cheer for LMMS

It's time for a new challenge over at the Little Miss Muffet Stamps blog and this week I once again used the Holiday Truck image. I can't help it, I simply adore this stamp and all the different possibilities with it. It's perfect for creating winter or Christmas cards!

When I went to SC in May I went by Hobby Lobby and picked up a pad of Christmas paper. The paper I used on this card is from that pad. I really like the contrast between the lettering on the upper half and the plaid on the bottom. I texted a picture of the card to my daughter when I finished it and she texted back "that is definitely a Lisa card". LOL

Witchy Greetings for LMMS

It's time for a new challenge over at the Little Miss Muffet Stamps blog, plus there are new images being released today! I am SO excited about the new images and was really torn about what to use, but since Halloween is a little over a month away I decided to go with the new Halloween image.

The new image is called Jr Hatter Agnes and she is just too cute! I colored her with copics and then I grabbed a pad of paper that I got from JoAnn's over the weekend, it's from DCWV and has some seriously awesome Halloween patterns in it. I grabbed 2 papers from the pad that made it super easy to have the image front and center on the card. The purple frame was cut from a 12x12 sheet that has other frames and sayings on it, I cut this frame out and adhered it to the green spiderweb paper and then popped up Agnes with some dimensionals. I wanted the colors and image on the front of the card to be the main focus so I decided to keep a sentiment off the front and to put one inside the card if needed/wanted.

Make sure you head on over to the Little Miss Muffet Stamps store to check out the 3 images being released today and then grab one and come play along in our Anything Goes Challenge! 

Happy Halloween for LMMS

It's Thursday and you know what that means, Little Miss Muffet Stamps goodies! This week I am using one of my favorite Halloween images, Polka Dot Pals Hauntly. How fun is she? I love the spiderweb on her dress and the bats around her head! She's the perfect image to use for people who like "cute" Halloween and not scary Halloween!

I used a spiderweb stamp that I picked up at my local stamp store last year to create my background. I colored my image with copics and then used my Scan N Cut to cut her out. She's popped up with dimensionals and then I tucked the sentiment under her and to the left.

Trick or Treat for LMMS

It's time for a new challenge over at the Little Miss Muffet Stamps blog! There are some awesome new images in the shop but for this card I decided to take it back and use an older image, Swing N Slides Lil' Spook. I just love this fun image and I'm in a fall frame of mind so a Halloween card was just the thing I needed.

I used a retired die from MFT to create my "window", using fun bat themed paper for the inside openings. Using Versamark I stamped a retired spiderweb from SU around the orange frame. I then popped up my Lil' Spook image with dimensionals and adhered a sentiment to the top of the card.

You can find this image HERE in the store and you call find all the brand new images HERE. Make sure to head on over to the Little Miss Muffet Stamps blog to see what the rest of the DT created and then play along with us!

Wander Often for LMMS

It's time for a new challenge over at the Little Miss Muffet Stamps blog and there are some new images that were just released today! I am featuring 2 of those images on my card today, Polka Dot Pals Joshua and the Wander Often Sentiment. You can find these images and the other new ones in the LMMS store HERE.

I kept my card nice and simple...I placed Polka Dot Pals Joshua over the sentiment in Word, and then I changed the color of the sentiment from black to blue because I knew I would be coloring with some blue on my image. Plus I just love blue LOL

No Place Like Home for LMMS

It's time for a new challenge over at the Little Miss Muffet Stamps blog and there are also a few new images being released today! My card features one of the new images, Polka Dot Pals Dorothy.

I've always loved the The Wizard of Oz so of course I had to color my image as close to the original Dorothy as possible, and I kept the blue, white and red theme going with the background paper, card base and lettering of the word 'home'. The sentiment is actually from SugarPea Designs and I cut out 'home' several times and stacked it up so it would pop more when adhered to the card.  If you've been by my blog before you'll know I'm not big on embellishments, therefore I left the card alone after putting the sentiment and image on it.

Truck Harvest for LMMS

Sorry for the late post. We had our internet upgraded yesterday and then the net went out last night and we just got it back a little bit ago. Story of my life LOL

It's time for a new challenge over at the Little Miss Muffet Stamps blog and this week I'm using another of the new Pick Me Up Truck images, the Harvest one. I've already got fall on the brain so I pulled out some retired SU DSP to use and that's where I pulled my colors from.

The Paper Players has a great sketch this week and that's what I used for my layout.

Holiday Cheer for Someone Deer

It's time for a new challenge over at The Merry Christmas Challenge blog and as always it's Anything Goes, with an optional theme of 'memories' this week. I decided to just do the Anything Goes portion.

I used the sketch from MFT Stamps that just ended to get started with my card, and then I pulled out the MFT set Deer Friends. I pulled all my colors from the paper, with the brown of the deer being my neutral color. The sentiment was heat embossed in white.

Patriotic Truck for LMMS

It's time for a new challenge over at the Little Miss Muffet Stamps blog and we also have some new images being released today. I'm super excited about these new digi's, they are SO cute! For my card I'm using a  new image called Pick Me Up Truck with the Celebrate option. As a (retired) military family with many family and friends still serving I'm always on the look out for new patriotic images and this one is perfect for sending for a patriotic holiday or just to say hello.

I printed my image out to the size I wanted and then cut it with the circle die. After coloring it with my copics I adhered the image panel over some patriotic paper that I had adhered to a white card base. The sentiment is from a Taylored Expressions set and I stamped that in red.

For my card today I am using the new Polka Dot Pals Charlie. Little Miss Muffet Stamps already have a fun female graduation image and now we have a male graduation image, wooohooo! I used the colors for the middle school and high school in my town, which is red and black.

ASL Love You for LMMS

It's time for a new challenge over at the Little Miss Muffet Stamps blog and this week I'm using one of my favorite new stamps, Polka Dot Pals Peter. I am so thrilled that Little Miss Muffet Stamps has added this male image doing the ASL sign for 'I love you'!

I decided to go with some cool colors this time around, nothing bright. My colors were pulled right from the retired SU DSP that I used. I really like the gray with the Lost Lagoon color!

Just Because

It's time for a new Anything Goes challenge over at the Little Miss Muffet Stamps blog and we also have some new images being released this week. I'm using one of those new images on my card today, she is Polka Dot Pals Peyton. How cute is she?

I wanted to keep the card simple so I grabbed some retired SU DSP and used that to create the bottom half of my card. I then created a "ledge" out of more DSP so it looked like PDP Peyton was sitting on a wall of color. I colored PDP Peyton in with colors I took straight from the DSP.

Birthday Word Search

It's time for a new challenge over at the Little Miss Muffet Stamps blog and there are also some new images this week! One of the new items is this fun Word Search Birthday Sentiment background, which can be paired up with just about any image! I decided to use the Celeste Amberglow Celebrate More image with the new background.

I opened up Microsoft Word and used that to merge the 2 images together. I sized it all to the dimensions I wanted and then I went ahead and printed out the merged image. After printing I used my copics to color in the image and to highlight words from the word search background.

I matted the image panel on to some Daffodil Delight card stock and then I matted that to a card base of Marina Mist.

Best Mom for LMMS

Some new images were released over at Little Miss Muffet Stamps today and Polka Dot Pals Febiana is one of them. With the current superhero craze going on right now she is perfect for the strong girl/woman in your life!

My husband and boys are big time comic geeks so I printed Febiana out and then asked my 19 yr old son how I should color her. He suggested basing her on the character Captain Marvel so that is what I did! I did print out a second one and for that one I'll color her hair brown....even though Captain Marvel is blonde we need to give us brunettes some superhero love too LOL I decided to make this a Mothers Day card so finished the inside with a sentiment saying "World's Best Mom"
