I was asked to be a guest at Stamp and Create with Magnolia for their Blog Challenge #45 Indian Summer. I was so excited and honoured to be asked to do this for them. As you all know Magnolia stamps are some of my favourite to use. 

Fall is my favourite time of the year and I just love the Doodlebug Design paper collection called Happy Harvest that I used!

Update and haul

Hi everyone!
So just an update today. I haven't been busy designing any cards this week as I have been working on the Thanksgiving Cards for my hubby's clients again. I kind of got away from doing them and then all of a sudden I felt rushed as I need them done by October 1st! I'm away next week to spend time with my Mom so this week was all about colouring LOL.

When I took this picture I still had 16 to colour of the 75 needed! I'm happy to say I have them all finished and fussy cut out! I'm still waiting for the paper I pre-ordered to come in. I'm getting a bit nervous but I'm hopeful it will get here soon! So I have everything die cut, coloured and stamped as much as I can. Tomorrow is about creating the card for my guest spot at Stamp and Create with Magnolia. It needs to be to them by the 25th and since I am away next week I need to get it done and sent asap. So look forward to that being posted late next week! I filmed a haul video tonight of the few things I've gotten in the last week. 



I've linked below where you can find these goodies. Not all the links are from where I actually purchased them. Peachy Cheap is a daily deal so you can't get the items from there but I've linked where you can find the items if you're interested. Same sort of thing for Home Sense as well. My local scrapbook store is called The Scrapping Bug but the online store didn't list the items I purchased so I found other links. If you're in the area though check them out. The staff is so friendly and their store is really cute! The only thing I couldn't find a link for was the doodlebug ribbon it's discontinued as far as I can tell which is likely why it was so cheap LOL.
Ok that's it for tonight! I wish you all sweet dreams!

Lia Stampz

Today I made a cute card using a Lia Stampz digital design called "Bicycle". I am also going to enter it into the challenge over at her blog. It's Challenge #72: girly/feminine. I just can't believe summer is over so I decided to use bright papers that still feel like summer from the MME My Girl 6x6 designer paper pad.
Because the digital stamp I chose is of a girl riding a bike, I thought this paper fit perfectly!


I started with a pre-made 5 1/2" square card and cut my base card stock (yellow) the same size. Then I cut the patterned paper layer at 5 3/8" square. Using my printer I printed my image onto a piece of X-press It Copic paper and then coloured it in with my Copic Sketch markers.

Face: E00, E11, R20
Hair: E41, E43, E44, E47
Dress, socks: BG01, BG02, BG05
Bike: YR31, flowers RV25
Tires, seat, handles: C2, C4, C5, C7
Bike Basket: E31, E33, E35, E37
Flowers in basket: RV11, YG06

I cut my image and the bike patterned paper  at 3" x 3"1/2" and layered a yellow piece of card stock behind them both. The little "let's ride" image is from the collection and I also layered a piece behind it. I inked all the edges of my papers and image with Tim Holtz Distress Ink in Antique Linen.


When assembling my card I popped up the image and the "let's ride" using foam squares. I also added some flowers from my stash, a piece of sheer yellow dotted ribbon and a bow! To finish off the card I used my Wink of Stella pen in clear and added glitter to all the flowers on the bike. Using Glossy Accents I added a shine to the handles, bike seat, heart and tires. I added Crystal Stickles to the girl's sleeves and trim on her skirt.


Well that's it for today!
