Day 2 of the All Tthat Scraps April release!

It's the second day for the All That Scraps April release showcase and today we showcasing the new Lil Lads and Lolitas, Mashi's Muffins and Drozy's Darlings.  I have two DT makes for you today and here is the first...

He he!  I love this guy, he reminds of American Dad but less of a psycho!  This is Mashi's Muffins' Dad and don't you love the ties and glasses?  These are from the new CC Cutters Guys Dies.  It's got a moustache in it too but I just couldn't fit it on!  I used sentiments from the AmyR Stamps All Men sentiment set.  The papers are by Designs by Dani called Dapper Dan and I used the sketch from this week's new Tuesday Morning Sketches - I'm their Guest Designer this month!

Here is my second card using the new Lil Lads and Lolitas...

Awww, aren't they lovely?  This is Eric and Christina and I also used the C.C. Designs Cutters Olive Branch and a sentiment from the AmyR Stamps Handy Additions Sentiments set.   I used My Minds Eye papers.

All That Scraps November release review!

(Please scroll down for my Lil' Inker Designs new release post!)

We are reviewing more gorgeous the All that Scraps  November new release!  Today we are showcasing the cool and fun Lil Lads and Lolitas.   Here is my DT make...

Isn't she brilliant?  And such a pleasure to colour!  This is  Lil Lolita Sookie Skates and I also used sentiments from the Winter Chuckles Sayings set - main sentiment and in background.  Take a closer look...

Check out more Lolita and Lil Lads previews over at the blog here.  I'm going now but see you this afternoon with a very special guest designer post!

 

Kinda spooky!

A mega fast one from me!  This card is for the Lil Lolita Boutique challenge, using their super sketch...

I don't really celebrate Halloween, what with having a more Chinese and Portuguese background, but hey everyone's doing it, lol!!

Groovy!

What a lovely weekend - took Friday and tomorrow off work so I'm very relaxed today, not at all thinking about what I need to do for a usual Monday!  Which also means more time to do more crafting, yay!  Today's card is a rather groovy one, using the gorgeous Lil Lolita 60s Mod Ivy stamp again...

I was going to use a lot more patterned paper with her, but I loved how the embossed card came out so I decided to showcase that instead!  I'm gonna have to make another orange card to use up my DP stash - any excuse to create!

We don't celebrate Halloween what with growing up in a more Chinese/Portuguese culture.  The closest we get is my hubby Steve buying a ton of sweets to hand out on the night and then scoffing most of it himself!  Still, I'm going to enter my card into this week's Stampin' Celebration photo challenge - lots of pumpkins!  Well, my card has none but it is pumpkin in colour and I used stripes too - I think it's close enough!

I am also entering this card into the Sweet Stampin challenge to use ribbons - and that is a mega ribbon, I'm sure you'll agree!  Will hopefully be back tomorrow with another orange creation!

Am I feeling lucky, or what?  I got chosen for Quixotic Inspirations August top pick here!  It seems like August was a long time ago so I barely recognised my card, lol!!

I also found out today that I got chosen as one of the top five for the latest All That Scraps Magnolia challenge to make a Christmas scene here!  It is always wonderful to be chosen by your peers when there's so much talent out there so a big thanks to both blogs for acknowledging my work!

So enough of the showing off, today's card is a thank you card...

I left the inside blank so I write the appropriate thing when I actually need it.  I used the current sketch over at Tickled Pink stamp monthly challenge and I am also entering into the following challenges:

And all of my blog mates are!  I hope you are all having a wonderful weekend - it was cold but sunny in south east England yesterday and we went for a brisk walk along the coast.  Very invigorating, I can tell you!

Onto today's card.   I wanted to make a thank you card for my 18 year old niece and this Lil Lolita stamp is just perfect for this age group and was dying to match her up with this funky paper!  The CC Designs sentiment is perfect for it, the inside says "Fashion can be bought, style one must possess" - brilliant!
