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!

Vintage Affections sentiments For All You Do  

Hello Friends I'm back with Blackberry Penny Candibean

HI GUYS OH GOODNESS IT'S BEEN A WHILE!!! I think it's safe to say I'm back taking baby steps. I've been out took a little leave (long story lol) I will try my best to get back into the swing of things. I have so much to share as cardmaking goes. I might have to dedicate a single post on cards that never got shared lol! but TODAY let me concentrate on my LDRS Inspiration post.

Here is a card I did  using Blackberry Penny 

from the CandiBean collection.

I used a combination of my copics and a tad of pencils to color her up. Whilst coloring her up I would take brakes and grab another image and color that one too. At one point I had 3 images in the coloring process so I kinda mixed up the copics and I'm not certain on the combos sorry :( I promise I'll do better. Her pants or is it stockings? they are a light pinkish with white but it's picking up so white :( 

Oh do you see that blue flower on top of the picture. I dabbed it with this new thing I just discovered it's really neat. It actually looks like potpourri with glitter. I'm a bit obsessed with it right now I say.

I thought adding a friendship sentiment went well with the image and so it became a friendship card.

 I used one of the sentiments from the 

Warm Fuzzies Friendship set.

Ok that's it from me today and I'll be back very soon but please don't forget to look out for the New Saturated Canary Rubber stamp release, Sep 1st whohoo!!!

Have a great weekend

Saturated Canary Yuki and HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!

 First I wanted to say thank you to my followers for the em and I'm sorry I've been MIA. I've been through a roller coaster of events here at home. I mean  form all the seasonal sports my kids are involved in to my daughter going through Prom,soccer senior night,senior honors ceremony,GRADUATION,Graduation bash planning and being parent chaperon to my kids field trips (OMG evidently some kids in my DDs 2nd gr class get comfortable with me so easily they call me mom!.... um no please don't call me mom ) I have one more field trip to go as far as chaperoning goes :P

This Tuesday is Senior Honors awards extended only to the senior kids with outstanding grades. Looking forward and excited to that, whohoo!!!

Anyways my blog has been a little lonely but yup I've been extremely busy with the family. I've been slacking on my creating and COLORING! 

OH by the way HAPPY MOTHERS DAY LADIES LOL!!!! 

We should have a mothers day everyday cuz nothing gets done without us ugh! Well at least here in my home lol! 

All I want for Mother's day is some Aqua mint pumps yup AQUA mint LOL! 

Some copic refills and some POLYCHROMOS  oh let's not forget a hot Starbucks in the morning and I should be good. Happy mama :)

****************************************

  OK NOW A LONG over due of sharing on my Little Darlings Rubber stamp CHA creations! Yes this little girl was displayed at CHA in the LD booth back in February was it lol!?

This Saturated Canary girlie is Yuki  and I colored her with copics of course she's available on the 

Little Darlings Rubber stamp store.

I  added some sparkly glitter on her shirt and a tad of stardust. 

Something I wanted to point out when I'm coloring.The reason I have some lighter parts on my girls faces is just my way of adding countour. Just my way of reflecting light n their face. I thought I put that out there in case some where wondering why is there some missed colored spots.

the sentiment tag is from LDRS too the Vintage Affections set.

Thanks for stopping by and I'm crossing fingers I get something finished soon. I hope you like my take on YUKI oh how I miss my Krista Smith therapy :(  lol!

Krista Smith, the artist/creator of Saturated Canary has a special image that comes with a special cause. This exclusive image is not for sale and will be retired very very soon. So if you want them, you need to hear me out and act quickly as possible.

 

I am in LOVE with these little girls, I mean how adorable are they!!?? but wait their is a boy out there too. Yup he is adorable ( I think it's her son...same eyes, smile and cute face lol)

 

I think this is a very versatile image you could use them for like someone going away, going camping, endless of ideas floating right now.

I LOVE Krista for always helping others and bringing awareness, it's so like her to do this and I know they mean so much to her. So lets help out and spread the word , get all the details

 to the Backpacks of Hope pure charity site HERE. 

 

my duo is colored with copics on MIC Blending paper

SC Turtle lurv Thank you card

Welcome back guys and I know I've been filling you up with cards this week lol! So many things going on with my teams and we're getting ready for the Holidays, new releases and CHA creations behind the scenes as well.
Yup CHA is right around the corner and I have tons of homework!

 

Anywhoo well Saturated Canary is back with a new challenge and you guys this one is very easy for many. Who does not distress please raise your hands.

 Ok well if you don't distress could be translated as distress your paper you know rip it up a bit or how about distress coloring. You could do the watercoloring and I know it could be done with the alcohol markers too. Anyways have fun and rip something up lol! Just a little bit because I know it's hard to rip pretty paper lol!

 

This is also card number 3 for a commission order I got but I'm thinking I might have to eliminate the RoseRed card. Don't know... but It might be more than likely. I just think it didn't go with the Willow card and this one. I have another one in the works OMG I haven't started but I'm so anxious and yup another SC card lol!

 

The image I have colored today is a Saturated Canary Turtle lurv digi and I used copics on MIC blending paper. I didn't insert the coloring recipe but if you ask. I still have them aside so I could pretty much put it together ((whispering... I'm too tired aka lazy to do it now lol)

Oh ...... I'm sure I'm gonna end up adding it later. You know which reminds me if you see something colored on my blog with no recipe. If you're interested I do write them down and have piles of sticky's lol! Just a matter of going through them :P

 

Ok a few pictures

 

 

 

 

I hope you like my card and please swing by the challenge blog to see what my DT sisters have created.

 

That's it for me for this week and I'm not sure when I'll be back . I'm sure soon Oh yes I have an Alby image due soon :)

 

Thanks for all the lovely comments and emails.

Don't forget you could follow me on Facebook and on pinterest too :)

 

SWEET SWEET KISSES and I'll see you back soon.

Magnolia-licious Christmas blog hop

Welcome everyone to the Christmas/ winter blog hop and joining the Magnolia-licious DT is the ubber talented Scor-pal DT!!!

 

This is going to be so much fun!
Please read the complete details to the challenge and contest running
over the Magnolia-licious blog.
I want to make sure you get accurate deets :)

Now If you are just swinging by and want to join the hop start from the Magnolia-licious challenge blog. If your coming from the sweet talented Janice then your
are aaaa ooo kkk. I bet she had another stunning creation for us to drool.

I decided to create a box to fill with crafty goodies and layer a card front on top.
I had measurements for a smaller size box but with simply adding a few inches to the recipe I managed to create this 6x6 box.
what I did was cut a 10x10 paper for the base and score 2" on all sides. I cut and glued.
Then for the top
I cut an 8x8 paper and scored at .75" on all sides, cut and glued as well.
I added a decorative edge using the Tilda lace die and that is it. Since the top was going to be loaded there was no need to add more to the actual box.

I'm showcasing Snow scarf Tilda and she's colored with copics. I added dimension to her hat and sweater with pop up dots. Also adding some frantage, stickles and prima fine glitter to add some glitz.

Tilda is enjoying some snow fun by a
Make It Crafty Christmas background name cold by light.

 

I hope you like my box and I hope my assigned secret santa does too lol! Shhhhhhh

she might be around so I can't say much :P
I'm filling it with some crafty goodies that I hope she will enjoy.

Ok peeps I'm sending you to the next designer and get ready to get blown away by the gorgeous amazing Chris Dark (in my oprah voice) I can't wait to see what she's done :)

Thank you all for stopping by and please enjoy the hop but before you leave me please pick up your magical letters and they are
w,d

Sweet kisses

Melissa's Balloon muscle definition for MIC

 

Guess what MIC challenge blog has a very fun exciting theme.This time as you know you have the option of playing an easy challenge which is using skin tone colors you usually DON'T use and the harder one for some is defining bone and muscle structure.

 

I actually have the tendency to do this to many of my images. Well I try lol! but I have to say I might of picked the wrong image to do this one lol! Ok can you say "Orphan" much lol! (crazy good movie)

 

I colored MIC Melissa's balloon and as you can see she seems a little over the edge as is and I enhanced her muscles......... baaahaaaa  ummmm yeah ...... I wouldn't get close to her. I think what helped tone her down was those chubby cheeks me thinks.

 

 

 

 

 

I hope I give you some inspiration and ideas how to enhance bone structure or muscles like Melissa :) If you wish to give this challenge a try I say print on a regular copy paper and use a pencil to pick your shades and enhance slowly. Then take your result and transfer your idea  with your markers to your good paper. That will help you as a guide and make things much smoother for you. Remember

 keep it fun and don't give up :)

 

I hope you like my card and for more inspiration please visit my gal pal teammies for exquisite inspiration over the challenge blog HERE.

*********************************

 It was my Lauren's bday on Monday 11-11-13 uhhh  just realized she was one day off for the crazy number people were trying to get married on. 11-12-13.

This was just a small cake we bought her since her party is in the works. I LOVE the picture were she's covering her smile LMBO! she has never done that before so I think it was cute. I think she was on cloud 9 because we were all singing to her.

 

I did her a quick crown so she could take to school since she was giving away cream puffs to the teachers and cupcakes to her class. I wanted her to wear a special bday crown.

The name was cut in different pink tones but the camera kept picking up red.

 

 

 

I should of taken the picture before she left to school but I forgot. When she came back home it was a bit beat up by then lol! Oh well sigh...... lol!

 

Well thanks for stopping by my corner and appreciate your comments

Sweet kisses
