By LORi Designs~Winter Brian

Happy Tuesday and New Years Eve everyone! So do you have big plans to bring in the New Year? We don't do much as far as celebrating. We'll have a low key night with my family and our little boy (who's getting to be not-so-little anymore). Generally we stay home and just hang out. I don't like to be out on the roads with crazy, drunk people! Whatever your plans, I hope you all stay safe and wish you many blessing in the upcoming year!
 
Today the design team is showcasing some of the BLD Winter images. I used the super adorable Winter Brian from By LORi Designs. He's printed on X-press It Blending Card and colored with Copics.
 
Copics:
Skin: E000, E00, E01, E02, E11
Hair: E44, E47
Green: G21, G24, G28
Red: R22, R24, R27, R29
Gray: C3, C5, C7
I think my dps are from DCWV. The white ribbon is from Walmart. The top snowflake border is from Joy Crafts and the crystal bling is from my stash.

Be sure to head over to the By LORi Designs Digi Shop to see the fabulous creations from my fellow DT Sisters and to order your CUTE BLD Stamps!! You'll definitely want to stock up on these adorable winter digi stamps....I have a feeling there's more cold weather to come.
 
Have a great week and be sure to check back here throughout the week for more cards. It's a busy week for me! :)
 
Hugs,
Rosie :)

Happy Monday everyone! I've been on Christmas vacation, spending time with my mom so I've been a little MIA around here lately. But, today I'm back to share my latest card for 7 Kids College Fund using a couple of stamps from one of my favorite stamp designers....Saturated Canary.

Happy Wednesday everyone!! I hope you all have had a great week so far! It's time for another 7 Kids College Fund Challenge and for the rest of the year the challenges for our customers will be: 

ANYTHING GOES!

Just be sure to use a stamp sold in the 7 Kids College Fund Store in order to be eligible for the prize and top 3!!

Those of us on the Design Team will be switching things up a bit. Even though our challenge will be "Anything Goes", we decided to add a twist of GOLD and SILVER for our cards today!! So be sure to head over to the 7 Kids Challenge Blog to see all the creations from my fellow DT Sisters!!
On my card today I used this super adorable and versatile image called Gorjuss Girls I GAVE YOU MY HEART stamp from DoCrafts! She was stamped on X-Press It Blending Card with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored with Copics.

Copics:
Skin: E000, E00, E01, E02, E11
Hair: E44, E47, E49

Gold Sharpie Paint Pen

My dps are from DCWV Jolly Whimsy 12x12 Paper Pad. The oval frame behind the image was cut using Spellbinders Floral Ovals Nestabilities. I used some Stampendous Frantage Aged Taupe Embossing Enamel around the edges of the white oval. To make the poinsettia, I used my favorite Spellbinders Poinsettia Creations Shapabilities die. I cut the pieces out of kraft cardstock and colored them with a Gold Sharpie (not the paint pen, but the regular gold sharpie permanent marker). Then I curled the petals before assembling and added Melissa Frances Pewter pearls to the center. The gold trim, gold ribbon, and charm were in my stash.

Dollie with Bow is Berry Sweet at The Greeting Farm!

Happy Tuesday everyone! I'm back today to share a card I made using one of the new digis at The Greeting Farm called Dollie with Bow. I think she's adorable and an excellent choice for Christmas or Valentine's Day cards, or even birthday cards....pretty much any occasion!! I paired her with elements from the Berry Sweet Print and Cut File....perfect match I think!! :)

Now, the great thing about the cutting files is that you don't have to own an electronic cutting machine to use the files. They come with a PDF file so you can print them and fussy cut the various designs using scissors, which is what I did on my card today. AWESOME, right?!!

The dps are from Carta Bella DEVOTED 6x6 paper pad....one of my favorite paper pads ever! The ribbon is from Martha Stewart. All the hearts and "This Way To Love" Arrow are part of the Berry Sweet Cutting File. I raised them on pop-dots for added dimension.

Here are my coloring details:
 Copics:
Skin: E000, E00, E01, E02, E11
Eyes: E43, E44
Hair: E44, E47, E49

Now, don't forget you still have time to enter our TGF Farm Fresh Friday Challenge, "All That Sparkles" HERE.  Be sure to stop by The Greeting Farm Blog on Wednesday for our Wow'ed Me Wednesday post....you may see one of your cards featured on our blog!!

Have a great week!

TGF Farm Fresh Friday~ALL THAT SPARKLES!


Happy Friday everyone! We have an ice storm that moved into Texas so school was canceled for my little guy! I'm so glad we get to sleep in and I don't have to drive on the slick roads with crazy drivers!! I hope my friends and family in both Oklahoma and Texas stay safe!
Today starts a new Farm Fresh Friday Challenge! The theme for the week is: 
 
ALL THAT SPARKLES!!
How fun is that?!! For my card today I used a limited special stamp called Double Cupcake Anya. She was part of a set with the stamp and matching cupcake journal that was offered up on pre-order a few weeks ago. I didn't waste any time and snatched up the offer, which showed up in the mail this past week! LOVE her!!
 
 Copics:
Skin: E000, E00, E01, E02, E11
Hair: E44, E47, E49
Bow/Dress/Boots: R81, R83, R85, Stickles
Cupcakes: B000, B02, B05, R22, R24, R27, RV000, RV02

My dps are from Carta Bella Devoted 6x6 Paper Pad. The red, glittery paper is from DCWV 12x12 Holiday Glitzy Glitter Stack. The banner and Sweet Sentiment were printed from The Greeting Farm Berry Sweet Print & Cut File.It comes with a jpeg file also so you can print and fussy cut, which I did because I was too tired to pull out my Silhouette. I also added Stickles to the banner pieces and the word Sweet. The flowers and lace came from my stash.

Little Miss Muffet~YOU'VE BEEN FRAMED!

Little Miss Muffet Stamps
Happy Thursday everyone! I'm back today to share my latest card as part of the Little Miss Muffet Design Team. If you haven't checked out the LMM Challenge Blog yet, then be sure to click HERE! To check out the LMM Store and do some shopping click HERE!! There are some CUTE and ADORABLE stamps available in digi and rubber!!
The challenge for the next two weeks is: 
 
YOU'VE BEEN FRAMED!!
(include a frame on your card/project)
I used the super adorable Swings 'n Slides BOOKS by Pollycraft! I've got lots of friends who love to read so that was my inspiration. I used to love to read, but not as much anymore. Not sure why though because when I find a great book I will stay up into the wee hours of the morning trying to finish it! Maybe that's why I don't start, LOL! 
 
I stamped her on X-Press It Blending Card and coloring her with Copics.
 
 Copics:
Skin: E000, E00, E01, E02, E11
Eyes: E43, E44
Hair: E44, E47, E49
Pink: R81, R83, R85
Black: C3, C5, C7
Book: E40, E41, E42
 
I bought the wood frame from Michaels this week and sprinkled it with Stampendous Shabby Pink Embossing Enamel. I attempted to heat it with my new heat gun and all that did was blow all the embossing powder everywhere. The wood was too thick to go over the toaster (which has been my embossing method lately, LOL!). So I decided to put it on a pan and stick it in the oven under the broiler!! My kitchen appliances are definitely coming in handy, hahahahaha! Just be sure to crack the oven door open and watch it....or you may have a fire on your hands! The script paper is from Authentique. I also embossed the edges of the paper and this time used my toaster. :)
 
The flowers, crystal stems, and Smile pin were in my stash and the pearls are from Recollections.
 Here are the rules to play along with us at the LMM Challenge Blog:
