LMM - Pink and Grey Challenge

Happy Thursday!

This is week 2 of my Little Miss Muffet guest designer spot.  We have a color challenge today - Pink and Grey!  The image I used is available as a stamp set Tea Party Friends: Molly and Khloe.

I made it into a baby card and I used the sketch I created for Sketch Saturday Challenge #275.

You have 2 weeks to play along with this Little Miss Muffet Challenge.  The rules have changed a bit at LMM since I was on the DT.  To win the challenge prize, you do need to use a LMM image: Forgotten Scraps, Pollycraft, Simply Sophia or Bugaboo image.  There are freebies given away on Saturdays, if you would like to enter and don't have an image.

Check out all the DT inspiration HERE.  Hope you will join us!

MRO - Pumpkin & Sunflower Teddy

Hi All,

Mabelle has a new release today at Whimsy and Stars Studios.  This is  Pumpkin & Sunflower Teddy.  It was a fun image to color.  You can see all the Fall images HERE.   

 

I created a box around the pumpkin part of the image by drawing a faint pencil line at 1.5", then cutting with a scissor along the line up to the image.  Then I continued cutting the upper half of the image out.

I'm using the Sketch Saturday sketch #275 again for this post.
Mabelle is the sponsor this week and there is still time to play along!
Hope you will join us!

Sketch Saturday Challenge #275

I'm so excited - I'm hosting Sketch Saturday this week!  The sponsor is Mabelle RO from Whimsy and Stars Studios and she is generously offering 4 MRO digis to one lucky participant in this week's challenge.

Also, our guest designer this month is my friend Laura - Yay!  I love her clean style and beautiful coloring.

Lastly, I designed the sketch this week!  Here it is SS275:

This is what I was thinking when I created the sketch.  Mainly the center panel being recessed and embossed - or maybe a patterned paper that is stitched around the perimeter.  I went the recessed and embossed route, to make the layered frame I used my Cricut mini. 

Mabelle generously offered the design team some Fall images to work with.  I was thrilled to see "It's Fall" back in her shop - one of my many favorites.

I thought adding a woodgrain to the letters would be a great detail.  I thought about paper-piecing the letters with woodgrain paper.  In the end, I opted to print the image twice, color the letters then stamp with a woodgrain background stamp from A|Muse Studios.  I cut the stamped letters out and paper-pieced them on the colored image.

Little Miss Muffet - New Release

Happy Thursday!

Today, I have a guest designer post for Little Miss Muffet.  There is a new release today and a sketch challenge going on at LMM too!

I don't know if you have seen Barbara's latest line of super cute kids - Polka Dot Pals. I just love them all! This is Neomie and she joins several other cuties in this line.  

She reminds my of my niece Jessica who starts high school this week.  I still see her at about this age, with her cute bob haircut and soccer ball.  Sigh. 

There are also 2 felines newly released today.  I used Stretching Feline.  You can see all the new releases HERE.  Notice the new shop too?  A lot has been going on at Little Miss Muffet over the summer. 

Here is the LMM Sketch I used today:

I cropped it a bit to make it a horizontal A2 size card rather than square.  We are mid-challenge so you have a few more days to enter!
