There's a new By Lori Designs release and it is as cute as can be!  Here is my card using Peddle Pusher Hannie...

She is so beautiful, isn't she?  I love these more grown up BLDs, I know a few friends who will love this style.  The sentiment is also By Lori Designs from the new set called New Everyday Sentiments II.  I matched her up with sunny Echo Park's Country Drive papers and some large rolled flowers.  I also die cut some white cardstock with my Lil' Inker Designs Rectangle Stitched mat die and then embossed it with my Quickutz polka dot embossing folder.

Check out more of the gorgeous March release over at the blog here.  I'm off but I'll be back tomorrow with my Doodlelicious Babe card - thanks for visiting!

It's the second day for the All That Scraps March release showcase and today we showcasing the Lil' Lolitas newbies.  Here is my DT make...

Isn't she cool?  She is Lil' Lolita Adell and the sentiment is from the AmyR Winged Greetings sentiment set.  These newbies are all available in store now!  I matched her up with My Minds Eye Fine and Dandy papers and a Cuttlebug embossing folder.   I am entering my card into the Simon Says Stamp anything goes challenge.

My very first There She Goes DT post!

(Please scroll down for my All That Scraps March release post!)

Ohhh, I'm a bit nervous today!  This is my first project on the There She Goes design team and I'm feeling a bit of performance pressure!  So Mondays is the start of a new challenge for TSG and this week the theme is to use black cardstock.  Can you believe it?!  I tend use the complete the opposite colour white on my cards so I was not happy about this!  But then I thought - what a perfect time to get my new TSG Flava Sava set out - one that hasn't even been opened and breathed air yet!  Okay, okay, I'll stop waffling...here's what I made...

I used one of the moustache stamps to create the background, using clear powder to do the wet embossing.  And it was so quick and so much fun to make that I made two more...

I feel a bit of a cheat because all three cards took me 15 minutes in total to make!  I popped the embossed cardstock and the white cardstock on foam pads for depth and simply used my corner chomper for the...corners!  I am entering my card into the Simon Says Stamp anything goes challenge.  Here's all three of them together...

Well, that's my first card for TSG then!  You can check out more inspiration over at the blog here and find out all the deets too!

Day 1 of the All That Scraps March release!

It's the first day for the All That Scraps March release showcase and today we showcasing the newbies created by ATS owner Christine.  Here is my DT make...

Isn't she beautiful?  She is Swiss Pixie Fairy Abigail and the sentiment is from the AmyR Winged Greetings sentiment set.  These newbies are all available in store now!  I matched her up with Pink Petticoat papers and used lots of foam pads to give this card depth.   I am entering my card into the Simon Says Stamp anything goes challenge.

Hey there

Here is my Doodlelicious Diva card for Whimsie Doodles using Social Teen Thinking...

Isn't she cool?  I think I will give this to my niece who is a super cool gal too!  I matched her up with s.e.i Sugar papers and used my Lil' Inker Designs Instant Camera die and Rectangular Stitched Mats die and a Paper Smooches sentiment.   I am entering my card into the Simon Says Stamp anything goes challenge.

Okay, I gotta go now!  Enjoy the rest of your day and I'll see you later on my blog rounds!

Isn't she fabulicious?!  I can just imagine that's off to sunnier climes - St Lucia or the Maldives perhaps!   I matched her up with Karen Funk So Happy Together digi papers, a Crafts Too polka dot embossing folder and Little Miss Muffet party banner die.   I am entering my card into the Simon Says Stamp anything goes challenge.

I paper pieced her outside and then shaded them with my Copics.  I added some Stickles Glue in Star Dust on her clothes trim and hearts and some Glossy Accents to her glasses.  Here's a closer look...
