Bandit Boy Tom New Release

* Need to play with the colour of this one in PS I think, not this orangey looking in real life.

Oh my gosh, I can't believe a WHOLE week has flown by. Have you ever noticed that the closer it gets to Christmas, the quicker the days seem to flash by. Where has all my free time gone :P

So another week and another NOT challenge, but New Release day at Little Miss Muffet Stamps. I am so utterly delighted to introduce you to Bandit Boy Tom by Little Miss Muffet Stamps. THANK YOU Barbara, I am so thrilled to have a new boy image to scrap with! Isn't he stinking adorable, love his over-sized head - LOL just like my guy! :D

HURRAY, a boy stamp. I love little boy images. Not only do I have a little guy of my own, but he just entered school this year so we will most likely be needing a whole lot of BOY THEMED birthday cards come the new year. And how perfect it the number 5, tee hee, all my guys little school chums will be turning 5 in the New Year! PERFECT!
Please check my fellow DT's at the Challenge Blog, they have 2 wonderful days worth New Releases, including and new Agent Cupcake!

Fairy Fae with MIC for Deconstructing Jen

Deconstructing Jen #29 is a fun two week give-away, in honor of Jen's son turning five! I couldn't wait to play along with this fab sketch, and Jen's Design Team will knock your socks off.
I turned the sketch on it's side however to better accommodate my image of Fairy Fae Dreams by Tiddly Inks and Fern Log by Make It Colourful. I printed this up a while ago and have been too busy with Christmas images to finally ink it up with my Copics.
The butterfly border and green circle border are by K & Company, I coloured the butterfly one with E29 because it was actually purple. The DP is Bo Bunny Vicki Collection.

I coloured the fairy wings with my Gelly Roll pen, not sure it shows up well in photo.

Tiddlying Along and Redo's

Good Morning! I hope all you American's had a fun, festive and safe Thanksgiving. It was just a regular ol' Thursday here in Canada ;D

A friend asked me to dress up the cover of a journal she had purchased for her daughter. The journal flaps are a fairly deep purple, setting my colour choices.

Here's what I came up with. I re-purposed this coloured image of Fairy Fae Catches a Star from a card I made a while back. I had liked how the image came out, but not the card so much. May as well re-use it then to just have it stuffed away in a drawer.

I added the original stylized mat on top of a new square mat to fill out the size for the journal cover, it's quite large - 6" x 9". I was able to pull open the spiral binding to remove the cover in order to properly align the holes on my card stock.

I also added an oversize grommet to one hole on the ribbon to prevent the ribbon from fraying - hopefully. The grommet was large enough to still allow the pages to flip easily.

Little Miss Muffet - Gratitude

Wow, I really need to be better at checking back on the challenges I enter. My Simplicity recipe card won two challenges - Totally Scrumptious (random draw I think) and Raise the Bar - Top 3. I also had a top 3 placing at Send A Smile 4 Kids for my Chloe & Sarah new release card.



Hi there and Happy Thanksgiving to all of my American friends and family. Welcome to another Little Miss Muffet's Challenge - Gratitude Challenge #23. Show your thanks or appreciation.


This is Little Miss Muffet's - Kaitlyn paired with SandayLion DP scraps. I must confess, I am not in love with this card. Didn't turn out how I envisioned. It the tag, I think it's too far left, I was trying to leave some of the DP text showing. Oh well. We all have off days.

My intentions were good ;D This is to say thanx to my DD friend for the lovely Build A Bear birthday presents.

Tiddlying for Two Weeks

It another fabulous Tiddly Tuesday Challenge - #74 - Anything Goes and this one runs two weeks. I thought the two week challenge was last week, oops, my bad, sorry for any confusion I may have caused. This whole month has been a wonderful Anything Goes theme at the Tiddly Inks Challenge site, so get out your favorite Tiddly and play along with us.


This is Tiddly Inks - Snowy Wishes and Snowman set. I distressed inked the edges of all the Bo Bunny - Snowfall Collection papers shown. The SVG snowflakes were layered and popped up with dimensional tape.

I originally made this card with darker snowflakes as seen above, but then changed my mind and redid them in more traditional snowflake colours.

Oops What a Week

Okay, apologies all around. This post is uber late. Ever have one of those week? Me too.

PLEASE head over to the Little Miss Muffet Challenge blog, Barbara and the crew have samples of 4 new releases. Stunning as always.

Here is my take on Audrey, whom I paper pieced both the pants and shirt with Echo Park - Splash DP and added W3 for shading. I followed the Deconstructing Sketch No. 28.

Tiddly Inks Treat Bag - #73 Anything Goes!

Hey friends! Welcome to another Tiddly Inks Tuesday - Challenge #73. Today's challenge is another Anything Goes to help all of us get caught up before the Christmas craziness sets in.
I found this adorable and incredibly easy Treat Bag Cover on Splitcoaststampers. I made the width slightly bigger then the instructions to fit my plastic treat baggie.

I incorporated Tiddly Inks - Inky Critters snowman with Echo Park - Season's Greetings DP . The snowflakes were cut on cereal box and cream cardstock using a Cuddlebug snowflake die. The inside flake was popped up on a similar snowflake sticker from the coordinating paper set as was the Naughty Nice sticker.

As an after thought it occurred to me that it would be cute to place a gift card on the inside striped panel. So when you unfold the treat bag, you have chocolates and a Spa card. I plan on making another one, this time adapting my gift card idea for my kids teachers. Chocolates and Spa time, great combination.

There are much more inspiring creations over at the Tiddly Inks Challenge blog, don't forget to head on over there to check them out.
