By Lori Designs 1st Birthday Hop!

Hi everyone!!  Happy Friday!

I am so very excited to be hopping along to help celebrate the one year Birthday of By Lori Designs!

Did you come here from  The By Lori Designs Blog?  If so, perfect..it's the beginning of the hop!

For my card today, I used the utterly ADORABLE Witchy Prue from By Lori Designs.  Isn't she SUPER cute?  You know I have a love of all things Halloween and witchy!  I printed her out and colored her, and her little kitty friend, with Copic Markers.

The layout is Jen's Deconstruced Sketch, DS19, which I LOVE.  All of the patterned paper is Too Cute To Spook from Bella Boulevard, and the Grape Jelly cardstock was impressed with the Spooky Impression Plate from Taylored Expressions.  The sentiment, Hello, My Pretty, is from Pure Innocence Little Witch from My Favorite Things, and I stamped it onto cardstock cut out with the Ticket Tab Die-Namics, also from My Favorite Things.  I added three black brads and a black saddle stitch ribbon/bow combo and called it done!

Time to send you off to Hannah's Blog (seriously, could she be any more adorable???)

 In case you get lost along the way, here is the order of the hop today!

Hi everyone!! Happy Thursday!!

Mom...do me a favor and click off my blog. This is your Christmas card and it would be nice if you are surprised on Christmas (grin!).

So, as I warned my Mom above (lol!), this is going to be my parent's Christmas card from my girls (I love saying that!!). As soon as I saw this ADORABLE Lollipop Christmas Bundle from Lori Boyd's Lollipop Shop, I KNEW I had to have them! It's SO hard to find images that show sisters, or a little girl and baby, so I was OVER the moon to find this one (Lori, you ROCK girlie!!).

This is a digi image, and I printed it onto X Press It Blending Card and colored the entire image with Copic Markers. After coloring them in traditional Christmas colors (my mom isn't a turquoise and purple for Christmas kinda gal), I wrote their names above their lollipop selves with a Copic Multiliner. LOVE using the multiliner to personalize my stamping!

The patterned paper continues the traditional colors of my card, and it's Christmas Cottage from Imaginesce. I added a yummy bow made with Pure Poppy polka dot ribbon (I am all about the Papertrey cardstock and ribbon these days...why I didn't switch over to PTI sooner I don't know!) and a delightful snowflake created with the awesome Die-Namics Let It Snowflake Die from My Favorite Things. I added some machine stitching and called it done! I hope my Mom and Dad like it...I have a feeling they will!!

Thanks SO much for stopping by!!

Warm Wishes!

Hi everyone!! Happy Sunday!!

Here is a little card I made using the super SWEET Winter Dana and Penny Puddle Jumper Digi from Lori Boyd! I LOVE her expression and cute little hairdo!

I printed her out onto X Press It Blending Card and colored her, and Penny, with Copic Markers. I cut out and embossed the panel with Rectangle Nestabilities which I layered over Jumbo Rectangle Nestabilities. I sponged VERY lightly around the focal panel with Soft Sky ink to define the image a bit, and then sewed the edge with my sewing machine.

All of the patterned paper is from Mitten Weather by Cosmo Cricket, and I kept the layout simple to showcase sweet Dana. I sewed all of the edges, and I used different stitching on the panels for some more interest. The border was created with the Die-Namics Open Scallop Border Die.

I cut out two of the snowflakes using the Die-Namics Let It Snowflake Die and layered, then attached them with a purple brad. On the top snowflake, I added some Rock Candy Distress Stickles. The sentiment, "Warm Wishes", is from A Scarf For Three from My Favorite Things, and after stamping it, I cut it out using the Sentiment Flag Die from Lil' Inker.

To finish this card off, I added a Plum Pudding Bow that I created with the Bow Easy, and added lots of Taylor's Tiny Twinkles to the border, as well as the Jumbo Rectangle Nestabilities panel. SO fun!

I will be adding this cutie to My Etsy Store if anyone is interested!!

Thanks SO much for stopping by!

Baby, It's Cold Outside!

Hi everyone!! Happy Monday!!

My sweet new friend Tracy Clemente and I recently swapped some images, and she sent me this ADORABLE Winter Ella Puddle Jumper designed by Lori Boyd (I LOVE her stuff!) and I couldn't wait to color her!!

Tracy stamped her for me in Memento Tuxedo Black on Papertrey White and I colored her with Copic Markers. I cut out and embossed the panel using Rectangle Nestabilities.

I used Karen's Sweet Sunday Sketch, SSSC94 for the layout, but I used a rectangle instead of a circle. I hope Karen can forgive me!!

The Kraft background was embossed using the Snowflakes Embossing Folder and the patterned paper, all from Everybody Loves Christmas by Echo Park Papers, as well as the background panel, were all sewn on my sewing machine.

The ribbon, Pure Poppy by Papertrey, was formed into a bow using the Bow Easy, and I attached a Vintage Button, also from Papertrey, on top using some Baker's Twine! This cutie was a blast to color...I think I need to get me some of these stamps!!

Thanks SO much for stopping by! I will be adding this cutie to my Etsy Store if anyone is interested!!

Oh...before I go...tomorrow night sneak peeks begin for the newest release from There She Goes and you don't want to miss a bit of it! Jessica has outdone herself again and we have four GORGEOUS new sets to show off! Hope to see you back here for that!
