Come Out and Play is the name of this cute stamp by Joan Elliott available at 7KidsCollegeFund.com.  I saw this sketch on the Sketch Saturday challenge blog and just had to finish this card!  I’ve had it colored for a month or more! ugh!

I stamped the bear and snowman on Neenah super-smooth Classic Crest 80# card-stock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink, colored with copic sketch markers and cut into a circle with nestabilites circle die….

“Snow time B3995  is a new stamp from Printworks Winter release, stamped in Versafine Onyx Black ink…(if you don’t find it on the site,  just include the item # in the comment box)  I used my over-worked stamp a ma jig to get the placement just right! Love that thing!

The main background is embossed with a Sizzix Texture plate… the smaller rectangle piece is a cuttlebug embossing folder from Cropstop.com….

Martha Stewart snowflake punch for the corner…

1/8 in. ribbon from Creative Impressions.com…

black gemstones for the buttons (missing in photo, lol,  added after photo session)…

snowball bling from Michael’s…

Here I am posting a snowman and it’s raining here this week!   Just so you’re prepared…probably be another snowman coming soon! lol   AND some Magnolia Tilda’s I hope!

I stamped Darby and Bumbles on Neenah Classic Crest Super smooth 80# card-stock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored with Copic Sketch markers.  YG 90’s for the greens,  YR12,14,18 for the orange,  y11, 15 for the bee,  E21,34,37 for her hair, E50, 000,00,01,R00, R20 for her skin.  oh,  don’t forget the grays…W0, 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, and the sky B0000, 000, 00, 01.

The pattern paper is Basic Grey Mellow.  The grass is a new Martha Stewart punch.  Not sure where the ribbon came from but guessing it’s American Crafts.  Button is Making Memories.

I used the elongated rectangles nestabilities dies behind Darby and EK Success circle punches for Bumble!

“You Make me smile” is a Hero Arts stamps, stamped in Versafine Onyx Black ink.  Every thing is edged with the ink blending tool and distress ink.

I used my new Martha Stewart score board to score the Bazzill card-stock card base!!!!  oh my,  I LOVE it!  I know,  sounds silly but the most basic  tools give the most professional look!  I don’t like the bone folder that came with it…very flimsy,  but it works perfect with my teflon bone folder!  Love it!

Some other great challenge blogs I’m linking my card to…

Here’s a close up of Darby and Bumbles…hope she makes you smile!

love 4 You

Our ATS Weekly Wed. challenge this week from Lesa is to use a newspaper or book page in our creation.  I have a couple old dictionaries that I love to use…see my orange puffy heart sticker  marking the LOVE definition!  cool!  I used Emma with her pumpkin wagon but I cut the pumpkin off and used the flower from a set by Cookie Crumbs.  More teeny orange puffy heart stickers in the flower centers. Emma is stamped on Neenah Classic Crest Super Smooth card-stock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored with copic sketch markers.  Blue violets,  Orange and blonde hair.  Look back in previous posts for the numbers.  I colored her in the wee hours of the a.m. today,  so I didn’t try to keep track.

  • Basic Grey Sugar Rush 6×6 paper pad
  • Martha Stewart Grass punch
  • Sizzix heart die (I did the piercing around the scallops)
  • Stampin Up tag punch and coordinating stamps (AWESOME)
  • Puffy Heart stickers from K&Co (I got mine at Impressrubberstamps.com and Walmart)
  • Silver mini brads
  • Edged with VanDyke brown ink and the ink blending tool

Thanks for stopping by to see Emma today and Lala earlier this a.m. Scroll down to see my post from yesterday about the pre-orders at 7KidsCollegeFund.com….NEW Magnolia!  So many cute stamps to color!  Time for a color-book break! lol
