Warm Cozy Christmas Scene

HEY I'm back from a long weekend once again. Today I finally get to share my LD and Cutie Pie scene and since this month challenge is creating a scene. I thought I could use this piece I had in my pocket for a while lol!

Oh did I mentioned that it's not a card it's a wall hanging decor migthingy.

Come.... come see more pictures.

I colored this months ago so don't be hard on me lol!

I tried taking a picture having it hang on my undecorated tree (will get to it this week or weekend)

this is the best I could do lol!

Some are available at the Little Darlings Rubber Stamp store now. I think only one is out of stock :(

Harvest Princess

Hiya guys!!! Did you guys see my previous post with some cute new Saturated Canary rubber at

 Little Darlings!? If not go check it out and I might convince you to join the hop AS THEIR IS YUMMY prizes through it.

Well it's time for another Saturated Canary challenge and I finally get to share my card featuring Harvest Princess available in digi at the SC Online shop HERE. Perfect timing since in the states we celebrate Thanksgiving today. I kept the card a bit more simple and clean.

I colored her with Spectrum Noir markers and added some Acrylic to the scene but only to the background, my girl is ALL marker.

I wanted to share her alone before placing her on my card and YEAH leave it to me to realize after the card was done that I had forgotten to color the basket and petals to the apples lol!

I also wanted to insert a little something special that I found online. This is a Native American Thanksgiving Prayer. You can't read it well since I had to down size to fit the card but this is what it says.

Thanksgiving Prayer

We return thanks to our mother, the earth, which sustains us.

We return thanks to the rivers and streams, which supply us with water.

We return thanks to all herbs, which furnish medicines for the cure of our diseases.

We return thanks to the moon and stars, which have given to us their light when the sun was gone.

We return thanks to the sun, that has looked upon the earth with a beneficent eye.

Lastly, we return thanks to the Great Spirit, in whom is embodied all goodness, and who directs all things for the good of her children.

My paper is a combo of Bobunny and LD Chocolate covered cherry.

and that's it for me today and I hope you enjoyed my card. It almost walked out of my house when my sister came over. You see all my sisters are BIG BIG fans of the Native American culture. I remember when they will go to every pow wow they could.  (Guess who would have to braid their hair, rolling eyes lol) 

I had a good relaxing time coloring her and reminiscing :)

I'm wishing all my followers a Happy Thanksgiving If you celebrate it. If not I still want you to know that I'm thankful for your time and encouragement that you leave me via email, facebook, blogger etc...

I have a busy day with the family and once again I'm hosting and have lots to cook lol! Two turkeys, ham and lots lots more......oh my feet hurt just to think about it.

Wish me luck that nothing gets burn((crossing fingers)) 

LOVE YA GUYS!!!

A Fairy Gift For You

Hey guys I'm around but kept very busy these past days,lol! 

You see I had a bday girl this Sunday and we've been visited from family everyday to give Lauren some bday pinches :) 

We have Thanksgiving coming up and Orlando's 9th bday is also creeping around the corner.

UGHHHH not enough hours in the day I tell ya.

Anyhow If you follow the MIC store blog you had first dibs on my latest creation for the Inspiration blog. This went live on there on the 9th and like the 10th for Australia???? LOL!

Due to my busy schedule I'm just posting it here now,Yikes sorry :(

I created a pocket/Envelope card and I'm super pleased how this cute girly turned out with her blue undertone hair colored with my Spectrum Noir markers. The stocking has been dabbed with some puffy migthingy and stickles.

I also wanted to give the impression of some weight inside the stocking so I gave it it some pleats. Well attempted to color them in lol! What do you think?

For some reason I think I'm going for these colors this year. Like ice blue and chocolate or I've been thinking to go traditional with the reds and the greens. 

Don't know yet we shall see.

 Ok forgot to mention her name is a Fairy Gift  from the new Christmas collection at Make It Crafty.

I mounted her on top of my bow so when you pull the inserted card she comes out with.

The Merry Christmas sentiment comes from the Warm Fuzzies Little Darlings Christmas and Winter Set.

So much fun creating this and and coloring her was just so pleasant I need to color her again!

Come on over the MIC Store to pick her up and give her some color :) 

Fair warning so much cuties released with the collection so get ready for that lol!

Thank you for stopping by and this is a busy busy month so I should have postings about every week lol! SO come back as NEW things shall be debuting very soon uhhhhhh lol! 

Have a great week guys.

For all my friends that have Birthdays in DEC!

My post is dedicated to all the peeps that get shorten out on their bdays in December because it's around Christmas or on Christmas DAY!!

With the holiday rush they sometimes get the short end of the thread :( so this one is for ya!

It's time for another challenge at Magnolia-licious Highlities and the theme this time picked by our talented NORMAL LEE, is "something hidden".

UGH, Norma is just so talented.... I envy her work.

 I had a hard time trying to hide something LMBO!! I had planned to hide the small tags on the front and (PAWN TO FOREHEAD) I forgot lol! But hey do you think it's card????

WHALA.... It's a box!! Does that count as something hidden?? (Just go along) so yup this is what I did and because of this little box. I now I have two orders and not that I'm getting paid for :( 

MY girls where so upset at me for not doing their birth month soooooo .... LOL!

I had a whole winter/Birthday theme going on here and also instead of those flowers I was thinking of using those mint Hersheys kisses.... oh I love them!

What do you think? Is this stamp versatile or what lol! Her winter hat could go for a bday hat :)

Her name is #344 Tilda with a Big Bouquet from the New A Christmas Story 2012 collection. You could find her on the Magnolia-licious store with so many other sales going on at the moment. Did you see the new MAGNOLIA DIES!! So pretty and I need to add them to wish list!!!

 Tilda was colored with DI and has a coat of stickles on her hat and sweater. Of course my camera doesn't pick up the glitter :(

that's all I have today but I'll be back this week with some SN coloring Inspiration.

Well I hope you like what I've created and make sure to stop by the challenge blog for more inspiration from the team here. 

Have a great week,

Ruby
