I heart YOU….

How sweet is this NEW Lula Big Heart!  Part of the December CC Designs Release!  I paper pieced her heart with Basic Grey pattern paper from the Eskimo Kisses 6×6 pattern paper pad.  The card base pattern paper is from the same collection but it’s  a piece from the 12×12 size.  Such a happy Swiss Pixies Lula!  The “I heart you” sentiment is from the new AmyR Stamps Heart-y Sayings set.  Martha Stewart heart border…Fiskars teeny heart punch (hand held paper boy type punch)…holly is from an old All Night Media border punch or the old Fiskars holly border punch has tiny holly leaves too.  Can’t find either one to link to though… sorry!  I love teeny stuff… sometimes I buy something I don’t like just because of a teeny part of it I want! lol

On the inside I used another piece of the Eskimo Kisses pattern paper from the 6×6 pad.  The heart and lacy border are the new Big Hearts die from the CC Designs Cutters December Release!  So cool!  They emboss a stitching line around it too!  No sentiment yet,  but I will use something from the Amy R Sentiment sets for Christmas.

Lula is stamped with Memento Tuxedo black ink on Papertrey Ink select white card-stock and colored with Copic Sketch Markers.

Hair – E50, YR31, YR21, YR23

Face – E000, E00, E21 and R20 for the cheeks (this R20 is one I diluted with some R00 refill)

Dress and socks – B000, 00 and some light warm grays

Uniball white gel pen for the dots on the scallop heart and cheeks

I used the sketch from Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge HERE

I used Basic Grey Eskimo Kisses paper because I saw the challenge on the Basic Grey Challenges blog was Anything Goes HERE

Brrrr… it got cold here in Iowa this week!  Supposed to warm up Saturday… I’ll be ready for that!  Time for some cocoa this a.m.!

I used old American Crafts Holiday/Winter paper today… I know…bad of me but I always love a row of houses…if the paper has houses on it,  I want it… then I hoard it and use pieces here and there! lol  ‘fess up…you’re hoarding something too! lol

I’ll be back to add links after I grab a bite of breakfast!

Thanks for stopping by and sharing the fun of stamping with me!

You’re gonna love this die!!!

Look at how pretty and frilly the new CC Designs Cutters Leafy Branches die is!!!  The perfect filler for flower embellishing on cards!!  YEA!  I LOVE it and you will too!   The other great thing about it is….there are two branches on the die…one goes one direction and the other goes the other direction…none of this having to turn it over after it’s cut and looking different!!!  rah, rah, rah!  Thanks Christine (CC Designs isllustrator)!  It’s just what I wanted!

Another new die I used today is the Phlox flower…three sizes… so pretty!!!  I love it as a Poinsettia!   The Leaves die is from an earlier release,  oh,  you remember what I told you about it from an earlier post?!  You don’t want me to go into cheering mode?! lol  So fun to work with! They cut wonderfully!  Really, truly and they come out of the die!

The “with love” sentiment is NEW this month from CC Designs Amy R Stamps, called Heart-y Sayings!  A very cool set indeed! I used Simple Stories Christmas 6×6 pattern paper pad… Quickutz holly photo turns die and a red brad.  Little pearls from Hero Arts that I dyed with Adirondack alcohol ink.  Bazzill card-stock to die cut the flowers and leaves.

Today’s our 36th Wedding Anniversary!  Where does the time go!  I thank God every day for Tim!  He’s the best!   It’s snowing here… I know that will make some of you very jealous…really?  hehe  Not much yet but enough to make it look so pretty.

Have a great day and thanks for stopping by!
