Monster High Again!

I've had way too much fun colouring up these Tiddly Inks - Sugar and Spice girls. They are so awesome. You can't help but glob on the Glossy Accents and Stickles with these fab girls.


I wanted to use them this time in a Non-Halloween card. Oh I did do a little altering to these ladies. I removed a Halo and a swirling of bats before I merged them together.


I can't help, but colouring up these Sugar and Spice beauty's like Monster High dolls. My daughter had a birthday 2 weeks ago and received almost every single girl. I am fascinated with them, their forms, their makeup and I wish I had the nerve and the taste to dress so fun in High School.

I mocked up my Sugar and Spice girls in the Sketch Saturday's - Week 178.sketch layout using DCWV - Teen Prints DP. I don't use a lot of triangle shapes on my cards, so this was a fun escape.

I learned a great tip a while back that you can colour over you pearl stickers with Copics. It works perfectly and ensures I always have the right colour on hand. The Letter gems are from the dollar store.

The skulls are from Tiddly Inks - Down to Your Bones Mega Pack. I merged the bow from Tiddly Inks - Watcha Doing? ontop of the skull to make it Monster High-ish! Hope I'm not infringing on any copyrights!

Agent Popcorn Release

Don't you just love when a card falls together so easily and actually turns out the way you envisioned it. Hasn't happened much for me lately until this card - hurray!

I just ADORE this Agent Popcorn new release from Little Miss Muffet Stamps, Agent Popcorn is so fun and inspired such a fun card to make.

After getting this awesome image, I went on a hunt for a popcorn box, movie film strip and scene clacker svg's. Then changed my mind and downloaded free clipart of all 3 instead of svg's. I printed the popcorn box 3 times: once for the card base, once for the card front and the last time to 3D pop some of the kernels. I added Skittles to make the popcorn look buttered.

I originally wrote in pen on the scene clacker, but didn't like it, so blacked over it then used my Dyno Label Maker for my Girl's Night sentiment.

Don't forget to stop by the LLM - Challenge Blog and see all the other wonderful creations.

Unrelated Personal Note: You know how they say things happen for a reason?

Last year my kids and I were devastated when our family cat unexpectedly passed away. It was the children's first experience with death, and started a lot of questions for them.

Last week my husband's grandmother passed away. Although my kids had only met their Great-Nana on a few occasions, they understood the gravity of the loss especially as it pertained to their Nana. My daughter even told her Nana over the phone that "I would be sad forever if I lost my Mommy, so I know how sad you are Nana" and promised her a humungous hug when they met next.

More then anything, they understood that death was permanent, which made it all the more clear to them why Nana and Daddy were so sad. Although I hate that we lost our beautiful cat, and the my Nana-In- Law, the death certainly taught my kids an important life lesson and taught them empathy.

Any way, it meant a sad and very buys week for us having to go out of town unexpectedly. Which is why I was so late in commenting on everyone's blogs.
