Lily Lolly

Can you SEE her cutie butterfly wings??? That's my favorite part of this card! They're from Heidi Swapp. I wish you could see all of the dimension that they create. There's glue dots b/w the card and wings and the wings and Lily.

I was majorly enabled by the first thing that Lauren posted with this Pink Cat Studio set, Dress up Lily (click on the "Lily" link above), and immediately clicked and purchased this set and the Billy set (that one reminds me so much of Wyatt!). My favorite part of this set, though, is the nurse hat and thermometer (being that I'm a nurse, of course!)! Too cute!So good morning, and hello!!! I know it's been a while, but I didn't get a chance to stamp until yesterday, and had no chance to post till this morning!

This was a fun little project that I made using this pattern, and I think I'm going to make another one similar to it, but make the transparency part only on the top. We'll see when I get the chance for that, though! Can you see that Lily is a lolly herself? (Click on the pic for a closer look, if you can't see.) I cut her and the scallop layer with my Nesties, and popped it up on the box with Glue Dots. Then, I rolled a thin strip of WW paper and secured with Mini Glue Dots to make the "stick". Not to pat my own back, but I really think that it turned out cute. :)I have the perfect little girl that this set will go to - you can see her cute face here. This is Maggie, and she's my very good friend Mimi's little girl. She made me the NICEST birthday gifts last week, and I had to make her something special back to thank her! Love you Maggie! :)

Well, now I'm off to go spend some time with MY little one! Have a great day, and tomorrow will bring a Lizzie Anne card! See you then!

Easter Gift Box with Pattern

I could think of a few little ones (and big ones, too!) who would appreciate a box like this in their Easter Basket, what about you? :) This was a super fun project, built primarily around these Hershey's Sticks and my new set of soon-to-be-released Hanna Stamps! Can you see the cutey little fence around the bottom of the box? This is a close-up of the bunny main image. This set is slated to be released this Friday, along with a super "cool" Hanna set, Route 66. I colored him with Copics, then cut him out with my Spellbinders. Can you see the polka dot embossed white paper on the belly band? I did that with one of my BRAND NEW Cuttlebug folders, that I just got from eP today!!! Yeah! :) I also received (and used) my new Snowflake Glimmer Mist. You can maybe see it if you click on the above pic.

This is the pattern that I quickly drew up for this project. A couple of the edges got cut off when I cropped it, but the piece you need to cut is 7 3/4 x 8 1/2. The only part you cut off is the top and bottom (little rectangle) pieces of the 1/2 inch scored strip - hope that makes sense.

Please, just remember that this pattern (because people really do this) is not to be used for magazine or contest submissions, ONLY for personal use. There's more info on this on my sidebar, under the heading Copyright. Thanks for your consideration on this matter. If you can't see the dimensions, then you should be able to click on the pic, and enlarge it. Otherwise, email me for it!

I hope that you have fun with this, and leave a comment here with your link when you do! I'd love to see your projects! Tomorrow should bring an A Muse card, so I'll see you back here then!
