Saturated Canary - Pastel Challenge

Well hello all!

 

HEre's my card for the Saturated Canary Challenge this week. Our theme is Pastels. I love the way this card came out. It's been so long since I've colored an image without adding all of the dark shading with the greys, so this was a nice change. This image is just adorable, Krista Smith is one oober talented gal! I used my Sunday Morning Digi Papers.

 

Well, today I'm getting ready to take my son to the High School for a pre-orientation.

OMG!! HIGH SCHOOL!!!!!!!!!

Ok.. I'm gonna go cry! Do you think he will hate me if I take my camera?

 Probably.

 

Have a terrific Easter Everyone. I'm not sure if I have a post this weekend scheduled.. need to check my DT calendar... ok ta ta for now!

Happy Birthday card.

Hello My Maggie friends!

 

I made this card a few weeks ago and I've been trying to space out my posts a bit. I used this adorable Tilda which is currently out of stock at Magnolia-licious.. that's how adorable she is! There's a few in the new Love Collection in the store.. if there's any that tickle your fancy you better get on over there. I have used my Celebration papers on sale in my Etsy shop.

 I just LOVE the way I did that cake! YUM-O!

 

I have so many projets waiting to be colored and I'm hoping to get to some of them tomorrow.

I had my class at This n That Scrapbooking in Chino Hills, California tonight.

It's always fun chatting with those ladies.

 

Until next time my crafty peeps.. ta ta for now!

Well, I'm so tired, and feeling a little bla this evening so I better try to get a good night sleep.

 



Have a fantastic week!

 

An easy, fast gift idea!



Hi there my darlin's.

I made this little pouch very quickly the other day. I took my Lili of the Valley - Summer Bears set and colored up this cutie and popped it on this little pouch.. added some gorgeous flowers from

 Wild Orchid Crafts and voila! Ohh and take a look at that new white guipure lace... it's gorgeous!!!!!

I've added some Lili of the Valley stamps in my pouch and you have got yourself a little gift to give. Who wouldn't want to get this?! I highly recomend getting this Summer Bears set of stamps for when you don't have a lot of time for a project. This set really is a MUST!

 

Where did I get those papers.. well they are ones I've been working on and I absolutely LOVE them!

They are my new Celebration Collection and now in my Etsy Shop. I was very careful to not make them specifically for Birthday. So you can use them for any celebration project, Birthday, Congratulations, Anniversary, Graduation... and the list goes on.

 

Well that's all for now. I don't have a lot of  DT posts this week, but I have some things to share.

Have a great week.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Happy Valentine's Day!

 

Here's the Valentine's Card that I made for my significant other.

I absolutely love the way this card came out. I made a sunset/sunrise and I'm really happy with the way it came out. Keep your eye out for a step by step tutorial!

 

I made this card for the new Challenge at Saturated Canary. Our theme is Love. Have I ever told you how much I LOVE turtles! I had emailed Krista and asked if she could please make a girl kneeling and cupping a baby turtle in her hands. I always knew it was going to come out amazing.. but Krista really wow'ed me with this one. I actually squealed when I first saw this.
I love it! I'm going to print a large one and color and frame it! :)

I've used papers from my Etsy Store - Spring Love!

I hope you all have a Happy Valentine's Day.

A Birthday Challenge at Magnolia-licious and new Digi Papers!

Well hello peeps. Happy Tuesday.

Today there's a new Challenge over on the Magnolia-licious Challenge Blog. There's quite a bit of changes that has happened over the last couple weeks. We have all joined one large team and Diana has brought in Wee Stamps to the store. These are so cute I've been a huge fan since Sylvia Zet very first came out. The new Easter Collection is available too.

 Check everything out in the Magnolia-licious Store! 

 

So I'm really excited.

As for our first challenge as one big ole group we have a Birthday theme.

I've used this adorable Tilda with cupcake or maybe it's ice cream? I'm not sure because it's out of stock in the Magnolia-licious store. So hopefully some will come in soon. If not maybe you can send the lovely Diana a message telling her you cannot live without this cutie!

 

This whole theme of Birthday was perfect for my new release of Digi Papers called Ice Cream Cone. I've actually been working on this set for a few months now. I love the colors! I've also made some matching tags and arrows and some 3x4 journaling tags, all available in my Etsy Shop, now!

 

Oh, if you like my tile floor you can learn in my This and That Class over at Color me Creative!

 

Well, I hope you will join us at Magnolia-licious for our Birthday Challenge.

You can win a surprise package from Diana at Magnolia-licious!

So come on and join the fun!!!

A Date Night - Layout!



Here's a layout I made of a 'Date Night' last August. Ralph and I went out to eat at Benihanas.

We LOVE Benihanas! Sushi. Mai Tai. Yummo!

 

I really love the way this turned out. I used Spring Love Digi Papers and the Spring Love 3x4 Digi Tags. The flair, triangle tag and yellow doily are from Chic Tags, Thanks you Veronica!!! I scored the yellow doily and made a rosette. The bakers twine and jute ribbon are from Wild Orchid Crafts and the adorable spotted button is by Dear Lizzy. Tell me you don't LOVE that Heart Pennant Die from La La Land Crafts. The wood arrow veeners are from Freckled Fawn and the  wood car one is by Studio Calico. Oh, and the little tag in the corner is from Elle's Studio! I took some sprits sprays and made some splatters around the paper. I LOVE the way it all turned out.

 

I hope you all like my page.

 

I'll be back tomorrow with my project for Wild Orchid Crafts!

Have a great Sunday!

Saturated Canary Challenge - Color Scheme



Project Life Week 1.

 

I'm a little behind with my Project Life project.. already, like I knew I would be.

It's ok though, as long as I take notes each week.. :)

I have just fallen in love with this whole Project Life idea. I think it's so much easier than Scrapbooking and you focus more on the memory of what you are doing. Plus, I love all the little pockets! I have used my digi-papers Spring Love and I've also made some little Tags and Arrows to match the papers AND some 3x4 Journal Cards! You can view them all in my Etsy Shop!

I also have used some tags from Chic Tags,flair buttons from ShopEvalicious, Wood veeners and alphabets from Studio Calico, Kaiser Craft Alphabets, My Minds Eye brads. Some of the brads and tags are AC - Dear Lizzy.
The image I used is the Saturated Canary Stamp, 'Lilliana'. These images have so much character and emotion I think I want to try to include one on every Project Life week. This way I can still color and see how my coloring changes over time. :)

I made this for this weeks challenge at Saturated Canary. We are having a color scheme. You need to use 3 of the colors in the pallette.

I hope you like my page!
 Have a great rest of the week!

 

 



I love..Tilda with Love.

Hi there everyone!

 

Such a busy last few weeks.

 I have a class tonight at This and That Scrapbooking in Chino Hills.

I leave for CHA on Friday.

I'll be in the Little Darlings Rubber Stamp and Scor-Pal Booths!

 

I've been busy making samples and enjoying all the crafting time I've been able to do over Christmas break. The kiddos went back to school this past Monday.. so no more jammie days. :(

 

If you'd like to see some of my sneak peek samples for CHA

follow me on Instagram @StampinMindy also on Facebook!

 

I got my Magnolia-licious DT Package last week from the lovely Diana and I just LOVE the new

Love Collection. If you haven't

noticed my fellow dt sisters and I are coloring the images for the store samples so you can see how beautiful they look once they are brought to life. If you haven't seen them I suggest you pop on over to Magnolia-licious take a gander and bring your bib for the drooling over these coloring masterpieces! I have used the #317 Tilda with Love and she's so cute!

 I love her fluffy apron!!

I also sat in bed and came up with a new digi paper collection.

Spring Love. You can pop on over and have a look in my Etsy Store!

Have a great day all!!
