LMM - Fancy or Lacey

Good Morning and welcome to another Little Miss Muffet Challenge - #29. Today we are making Fancy or Lacey projects.

I nearly choked on my Cheerieo's last week when I popped over to Inspiration post to grab the link and saw that Juliana Herrmann had used the very same images that I had already prepared for this week's challenge. I chalk it up to us both be very clever ;D Not one to waste, I still had to use it, after all it was already coloured up and begging to be made into a card.

MIC - Ivy Window Wall
DCWV - stack pack
button, dollar store flower brads & lace
SU sentiment - Fifth Avenue Floral
Quickutz - Flourish
Now head on over to the Challenge Blog and check out the fab projects my Teamies made.

Submitted for the following challenges:

Crafts and Me - #72 Shades of Spring
Inky Impressions - Bright Colours
The Sisterhood of Crafter's - Getting Digi With It (both images are digi's)
Totally Gorjuss - #119 Lace

Watcha Doin Wryn - New Release

Argh, I am having such camera issues. I am taking photo's and they look fin, all is well, but I upload them and they look dramatically different. Being that I am soooo under the weather, I gave up and my hubby took the photo for me, hence the tall building view angel ;D

Any way, onto a new Wryn release by Tiddy Inks, this is Watcha Doin'? merged with Make It Crafty's - Open Window digi. Check out the Tiddly Inks blog for more awesome samples from the DT's. BTW the Open Window also is available as a rubber stamp.

Quaint Cottage Inspiration Friday

Quick note, this card was chosen as one of the "FAVORITES for the week ending February 19, 2012. on SplitCoaststampers!

You MUST MUST MUST check out the new "Paris" release collaboration by Little Miss Muffet Stamps, Make It Colourful and Whimsy Stamps. All perfectly coordinated, you can buy: rubber stamps, digital stamps, backgrounds, background elements, sentiments, sentiment borders, and laser cut chipboard elements! How can you pass this up.

LMM - Sophia
MIC - Quaint Cottage
DP - Stampin Up
Now that I ranted, here is my Little Miss Muffet inspiration card of the week, and don't forget to check the DT over at the LMM Challenge Blog.
haha, I have to laugh! Barbara of LMM always does a coloured version of each image for her store site. I just popped over to get the linky of Sophia for this post and we coloured our Sophia's in the same outfit colours, even the shoe's. I HONESTLY had not peeked at her colouring before hand. I try not to, so that the colour can be completely unique to me. Same as the MIC cottage, I did not look at Zoe's coloured version first so as not to be influenced before hand.

Apparently I'm on a roll. I just popped over to the Challenge blog and Juliana Herrmann used the exact two images that I merged together for my next challenge, hehe and I have already coloured it too. So much for being original ;D

Cowboy Wryn & Other Wryn Release

Hey great news! There are some more ever so popular NEW Wryn images available this week at the Tiddly Inks store - Cowboy Wryn and Wryn with hearts.

TI Image - Cowby Wyn
Deconstructing Jen - The Deconstructed Sketch #37
Skirt is NOT paper pieced - I made my own plaid with Copics
DP - Echo Park & miscellaneous scraps
In homage to Jen, I tried doing the doodle borders, very nerve racking stuff! I tried my hand at making my own plaid using just Copics, not bad, but on close inspection, a tad messy. Almost messed up the hat too, a lot of Zero was used to save the day, thank goodness too, I had already finished colouring everything else.

One major flaw, I think I should have printed Wryn larger. Oh well!

LMM Valentines Challenge #28

Are you done with all of your Valentine cards yet? I hope not because Little Miss Muffet is hosting a Valentines & Love Challenge #28.

This was a technique challenge for me as well. I wanted to give a go at adding textured in the fur using my Copics. There a some mistake, but overall I am pleased.

My TOP TIP: I used an exacto knife to trace the mouth of this gorgeous pooch in order to place my heart die cuts. You can make any image fit the occasion with this trick.

Entered in the following challenges:
Digi Doodle Shops Best - #93 Love Is In the Air
Truly Scrumptious - #73 Love and Hearts
Use it on Tuesday - #24 All About Love
Top Tip Tuesday - #69 Valentine's and Tipper Week
