DAY 5 Christmas Countdown over LDRS

Hey guys I'm surviving the Holidays and I've done my last card for 2015!!! Well actually I only have one special card that needs assembling and it's off to the other side of the world :)

Anyways I'm super excited and ready to take on Christmas because so MANY personal things have been going on at home that I'm beyond happy and appreciative. I won't go into details but my heart is complete now,..lol! 

I also have sent my 2016 CHA creations WHOOOOOO!!!! 

Yup this lady is ready for Christmas. So with that being said I might be quiet here since I'm all good for designer postings for the year. 

Well another way to follow my coloring is on Instagram. I do have many more snaps of my work in progress and therapy coloring just because so look for me there!

 LDRS Creative is having a countdown to Christmas and we're on DAY 5! That would be my turn to share with you today a little Winter Christmas Easel card using Penny's Little Owls. I watercolored the image with Tim Holtz Distress Inks and Reinkers.

I also created a miniature size easel it's pretty tiny measuring @ 2"x2" or so and I mounted 

Thinking of You sentiment from the Postage Vintage Affections sentiment collection on the base of the card. A simple handmade card for someone to show you're thinking of them during the holidays.

I hope I gave you some inspiration to create a handmade pressie because those could be the ones one will appreciate more. 

I thank you for supporting my blog and my other social media corners.

I will see you again before the year I promise :)

Love Always

Ruby

Happy Holidays friends

Sorry guys a little quiet lately ): today I wanted to share a card I did showcasing one of the lovelies from the clear stamp collection.

This pretty girl is name Izzy's Flower Basket from CandiBean

She is available at local retailers in the United Kingdom and Europe only. 

You could contact our distributor for a stockist near you. 

Personal Impressions

I colored her with copics and kept a bright shabby shic look. 

I did use one of the clear vintage Affections sentiment and dewdrop border die on a side of the card. Using the LDRS square die I used the little flower swirl to add to the flower decor.

I hope I gave you some inspiration today and I will see you back soon

NEW DollHouse LDRS Rubber stamp It's a Celebration

Hello friends I'm finally back with lots of showcasing scheduled already. As I mentioned before I was MIA for a few months due to the holidays and getting ready for CHA. 

I could finally share my creations I did for the show and today I  want to start with one of the NEWEST addition to the LDRS store. These dolls are original and unique in such a cute adorable way. The illustrator is beyond talented I tell you.

The collection is DollHouse and this one here is It's a Celebration. I love how cool she looks lol! with her hoodie and those flowing balloons I know I had to color her first.  I had a little playing with my copics on her and finishing with some frantage on the border cut.

The sentiment came from the Vintage Affections For All You Do set. The set comes with various phrases with a gorgeous beautiful font. 

I set the sentiment inside a Melissa Frances frame for an additional elegance.

I overall tried keeping it simple because I wanted the image to be center focus. I can't wait to color my next DollHouse stamp.

You'll soon find her available on the LDRS store so stay tune.

and That's all Folks I hope you like a peek at one of the three New DollHouse stamps just released at CHA. 

What do you think? cute huh! those eyes and hair ....EVERYTHING LOL! 

LOVE them for sure.

Have a wonderful week I'll see ya back soon

Honey Thinks Pink for Awareness

Hi guys! 

I have a little something special today for my LDRS Inspiration post. 
Considering it's October breast Cancer awareness and it's the annual campaign to increase awareness of the disease. I wanted to show my support through my coloring/card making creations. So today I used one of my favorite Saturated Canary Rubber Stamps (pretty much all of them are my favorite right lol)   You could find her over the LDRS store.

I colored her mainly with my copics and because I wanted a warm undertone on her hair I picked up a BG1 Spectrum Noir marker to touch that up. I don't have many T's of N's in copics and I could of certainly have used W's but the SN BG pen has this undertone that I can't seem to match with the copics. Maybe If I had more of the N's I would been able to compare but for now I used a BG1 LOL! BLAH That was a bunch of gibberish lol!sorry!

Also I should mention that I used MR digital paper Pink Rustic Cottage. 

Michele has so many pretty designs you need to check her out.

I had a go on some of the Warm Fuzzies Use Your Words and spelled out H O P E right down next to honey.

here is a solo of Honey before the glitz 

I just adore these clear pink crystal picks i picked up at a craft Expo.

That's it for me today. I hope I gave you some inspiration in any way. Thanks for swinging by and till next time 

((hugs))

Thank you Friend Saturated Canary Crisscross Applesauce

Hello peeps I'm back and it's my turn to share a little lovin for the
LDRS Inspiration blog. 

Today I'm featuring one of the spankin NEW lovely Saturated Canary rubber stamp and she goes by

 Crisscross Applesauce. I layered a few sheets of shabby design paper which by the way the picture doesn't do it justice. (I hate when that happens)

Miss Applesauce seemed to me like she wanted a fun color hair so a little touch of blues and purples to jazz her up. 

Ok now I need to apologize because I wrote down the recipe and well I was so excited honestly that I finally saved it well ummmmm I LOST IT!!! GRRRR! It was on this tiny paper I think I accidentally threw it out whilst doing the card ugh!!!! sorry sorry sorry :( 

I also attached one of the newest release sentiments from the Vintage Affections For all You Do.

I tell you the whole set is utterly elegant. I really enjoy the vintage touch on this line!

I hope you enjoy my SC share today. I'm working A LOT these days. As you might guess CHA is around the corner so working hard in getting the LDRS booth full of new creations BUT do stay toon because I'll be back in a few days for a Candibean NEW RELEASE HOP (In my Oprah voice)

Mark your calendars Sep 20TH!!!!!! 

Enjoy the weekend and I'm off with a weekend full of baseball games (yippie.....sigh.....)

Thanks for the visits!
