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

Another fun Challenge at All That Scraps Weekly Wednesday Challenge blog!  Christine from All That Scraps asked me a few weeks ago to join the Design Team and I was delighted to say, “yes”!  I love her stamps!  This is my third post for the team but I never know how to blurt out my exciting news! lol  Takes me a while,  I guess! lol

This week we’re following a recipe:  (glad it’s a stamps, paper, tape and scissors kind of thing!)

• 4 embellishments – I used Making Memories glitter brads
• 3 papers – I used Basic Grey Eskimo Kisses pattern paper
• 2 colors – I used shades of pink (R30’s & E07) and blue green (BG0000,000,02)
• 1 image – I used a stamp from CC Designs Otis and Milo Winter Wishes set

I inked the Otis and Milo stamp with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored it with Copic Sketch markers.  Martha Stewart’s snowfall punch around the page set for the corner and border.  Matted with Chili card-stock from Prism.

Be sure to stop by the ATS Weekly Wednesday challenge blog to say “hi” and check out the other DT gal’s creations.  We’d LOVE it if you joined us with the recipe this week!
