Tiddly Inks Puzzle Adventure and Tiddly "Booty" Winner

Hi Fellow Tiddly Lovers and Scrappy Friends. I am here celebrating with Christy and Tiddly Inks the end of the 1 year birthday extravaganza.  This time around, I am playing along with the fun game Christy has set up for us. I will be hunting for puzzle pieces and try to piece them together. How fun!! So let the game begin :)

Happy Birthday Tiddly Inks!! May there be many more pixies, gothic cuties and funny cute characters like Minnie coming our way.

A2 Size Card

For my project, I went for a CAS look. I tried using Glimmer Mist and create my own clouds but experimentation isn't the best thing to try to do when your racing against the clock. Lol. As much I love adding all sorts of embellishments and flowers, I prefer these type of cards when I need to mail them out. This card wont cost me over $2 to mail, just 0.44cents and its good to go :)

I also have my Booty winner from last weeks hop. I'm really sorry for posting this so late. I got sidetracked by several things that kept me away. I also want to say a HUGE thank you to all my new friends. I'm so happy to hear that my iPhone card made you laugh... OK so CONGRATS to

Debbie can you please email me so we can arrange your prize.

Thanks!

Lace and Pearls with a Twist of Inspiration

Hi All. Just popping on here quickly to share a Tickled Pink birthday/Mothers Day card (minus the Pink). Gasp!!! I know, right?! :) I hope you are all having pleasurable weather in your neck of the woods. I'm dealing with almost 90 degree temp here. Oh boy!! Its going to be a hot Summer! Ps. What do you think of those faux baby prima roses? I made them myself. WooHoo!!

A2 Size Card

I will be playing along with: Tickled Pink Stamps Challenge - #17 Lace and Pearls. This is my version/take on Lace and Pearls. I wanted to use non traditional lace and pearls so I used black lace, so it could be a little racy, and buttercup pearls. Lol, oh how risque!  2nd, Flutter By Wednesday - #153 Open Challenge (as long as it has a butterfly, fairy or angel.) 3rd, Southern Girls Challenge - Let's Hear It for the Girls. And finally, I'm playing along with Lily Pad Cards - Inspirational Challenge #1. This challenge was a Free for all but also it was based on inspiration you found on their site. They gave you several items to choose from: From cards, to covers, to color palettes to etc. Well, I found my inspiration from a non traditional item. I was inspired by their article The Frugal Crafter - Yellow Pages (and White Ones, Too!) This article is how a crafter can use the yellow pages to its full advantage. It has some great tips and I enjoyed the reading. Well, since I am trying to be a good girl and not use pink, lol, I was inspired by the color scheme. At first, I was a bit afraid it. I mean c'mon, its yellow! Lol, but always up for an artistic challenge I went for it. I ended up loving the color scheme (Yellow, Black, White and Grey/Charcoal) so much so that I will definitely be using it again. So I guess you never know where and how inspiration will strike you. The smallest or most mundane item can lead you to create a masterpiece of your own. So go out there and look for your inspiration.

I will be back tomorrow (hopefully) with my Tiddly winner :) Thanks for stopping by! And don't forget about the Altered Alice challenge going on.

The Altered Alice...Time Marches On

Hello Scrappy Friends. I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. It was a very busy and hot weekend here in California. I got to meet another blogger friend, which turned out to be great. I do hope it isn't the last time we get together. 

So today's post is just to share some wonderful news. I'm very Excited!! to say that I was chosen as a Guest Designer for The Altered Alice blog. It is a blog that is all about Alice in Wonderland!!! How perfect is that?!!?? It features Alice inspired artwork and it is a monthly challenge.

This month challenge is all about TIME. How perfect for me, seeing that time seems to sometimes slip through my hands. Lol, this post for example should have been up on Sunday. But like I said, busy busy weekend with a busy busy week following. I do hope you can hop on over to The Altered Alice and see all the amazing artwork and join in on the fun. The May challenge has already begun and will run til the 27th, but why wait til then? You'll get to see some amazing inspiration and get a head start.

Tiddly Inks Treasure Hunt

Welcome to the Tiddly Inks Treasure Hunt Blog Hop. We are celebrating Tiddly Ink's first birthday celebration and I'm excited that you are here with me. I was very Excited!! to receive the invite email from Christy to be one her special guests today. Psssha, Like I was going to say no (rolling my eyes) Lol. Thanks Christy!!! Im happy to be here.

Ok, so you should be coming over from the Uber talented Donna. If you not, hop on back to the Challenge Blog so you don't miss a  thing. There are lots of prizes to be had and a secret phrase you need to decipher to be eligible for some loot.

My creation today features Tiddly's new image GeekaTude. Ok so when I saw this cutie, I was hooked. First of all, geeks are all the rage now. Lol. My current favorite show, which became part of my all time fave top 3 is Big Bang Theory. I find them hilarious, especially Sheldon and Howard. Now If you don't know what I'm talking about then Hello?!?!! where have you been???? lol. But if you do, then yay!!!

This little geek also stole my heart because of all of his apple products and as you can see I'm a huge Apple fan. I love them all especially my iPhone. So I thought I would use this cutie patootie to make my first official iPhone card. I think it was about time I paid homage to my favorite toy :) Now I know this looks like a fat iPhone, lol, but if I would have used the phone's original measurements it would have been much too small and I have a hard time coloring small images with my pencils. ***Please Note: I am the first stop with Pirate Jane. My letter is S. Arrrrgghhhhh!!! Lol*** 

You can find this cutie along with 20 new images Christy created for this special occasion in her Shop. Make sure you hop on over to see what you like, because I'm certain that you will.

I {Heart} Tickled Pink

Ok,ok so my obsession with pink is getting out of control. But I promise a few more pink creations and then Ill be done for a while. I swear, I promise (crossing my fingers behind my back. lol). This post is dedicated to Tickled Pink Stamps. Ill have several cards featuring the beautiful Lolitas. This card is for their GDT Call. I would just love to be part of this Amazing pink team. I hope Kellie isn't tired of seeing all this pink. I promise Kellie, I do have other colors in my stash. Lol.

For this card I used Lil Lolita Ivy, one of my fave.



This is my Tickled Pink Spring card. The challenge was to flowers. Easy enough right? Well not so much for me. Lol. When I'm told I need to use certain elements I shy away from them but when its do as you please, its like ok, pile them all on. Lol.

For this card I used Lil Fashionette 30's Lylah rubber stamp.

I will also be playing along with Simon Says Stamp Challenge - Anything Goes.
Thanks for stopping by!!

'Hatter' meet Timmy

Happy Easter all. I hope you all had a good day spending it with your loved ones and gorging on chocolate. Mmmmmm. Tell me, whats equally as good as Ressess Peanut Butter cups? Anybody?? ummmm, Peanut Butter M&Ms. Oh wow!!! Ok, now I want some. I'm going for my goody basket. hehee.

Quickly Id like to share with you a Wonderland card I created. In case you don't know by now, I'm a huge fan of all Alice. Everything about it I find magical, beautiful and mesmerizing. So I wanted to create a shape card using the Hatter's hat and distress it to no end. I recently got some distress inks (which by the way I'm loving) and I used it to add to the edges of the whole card. 

I know I'm soooo behind on loving his distress ink pads but what can I say, but I'm guilty of being a novice. lol.   

r I thought it would look cute to add Alice to his top, just like in the movie scene where she is tiny and Hatter puts her on his hat to throw her across the lake. I used a special edition Anya Alice stamp from the Greeting Farm. I stamped her with Distressed Ink and then shaded her in with my Prisma. I'm playing along with Simon Says Stamp and Show - Tim Holtz Technique.

Thanks for stopping by!

A few more "Just Because"

Happy Pre-Friday. Holiday weekend coming up, Woooo!!!

So I just wanted to share some "quick" cards I made. Lol!!! That really is a laughable term for me because even the simplest ones are nothing less than hours of love :)

 For my first card, I'm using a special Rio digi Simply Betty owner, Betty, created for her daughter. It was a special birthday digi in honor of her tuning 13. It was such a touching story of what her teen chose as her bday gift. ...... Ok, so I'm realizing with all this pink going on, I might be subconsciously trying to relive my pre teen years. Lol. I always wanted pink hair or pink tips but I was never courageous enough to do it so now, I'm vicariously living through my coloring. hehehe ......   I will be playing with Simply Betty Stamps - Rio Challenge. 

Card 2:  I used Cookie Bugg digi from Tiddly Inks. Lol! I just realized I forgot to color her legs. Oh well, It happens :). At least I caught it before I sent it off. Does that ever happen to you? You get distracted by something else on your card and you forget the final touch. [EDIT: I colored in her legs and uploaded again]. I will be playing with Tiddly Inks Challenge - You're a Stitch.

Card 3: For this card I used one of my new favorite rubber stamps, Cheeky Chat from the Greeting Farm. The cheekys are prob my favorite line although they are all cute! And whats not to love about this super girly cute stamp. Doesn't it take you back to the time when you usto just gab, gab, gab away on the phone. Awhhh, to be young again. I will be playing along with: Simon Says Stamp Challenge - Emboss It. I used 2 different embossing folders to give my card texture. I'll also be playing with The Play Date Cafe using their #78 color combo. I would have never thought to combine these colors but I think they look great together. I'm really glad I found this color challenge blog because it pushes me outside my {pink} box. :)

And now for some awesome news. Christy will be celebrating Tiddly Inks one year blogaversary on April 30 with an awesome Treasure Hunt. I'm very Excited!! to be a part of it so make sure to come back and hop with us. They're will be lots and lots of loot. So you DO NOT want to miss it!
