Stamp With Fun In the Garden

Morning friends,

Oh Today I'm very late posting it's been a long weekend for me over here.Well I finally got a sec to post my card for Stamp With Fun.This time around the theme is in the Garden.The whole team did a spectacular job with this challenge and I advise to take a peek at the challenge blog to visit them also :)

This Card was also created for my Oldest sister Alma Iris. Sighhh sorry sis your over the Hill bahaaaa! Nah she's still young 33years old is the new 23 isn't it?!:)

The inside was signed by all of us here at home and some of my other relatives. Her Bday was on the 28Th and my father's Bday was last night!!! Oh my gosh we had a small intimate family gathering nothing big.Let me tell you we sang Happy Bday to both and what not..... Then our small trouble maker of the family, my niece (5yo but looks like if she's 10).Dug her hands in the cake and blasted my father in the face.My sister Alma told her not to do that to him so my niece gets mad and throws some to her right on the face.My sisters son gets mad(he's @10yo) and so he reaches for cake and throws it at my niece,LOL!!!

Keep in mind were all laughing hysterically because everybody has cake on their face lol!

Out of nowhere my husband yells, FOOD FIGHT!! Wrong thing to say with a yard full of kids lol!

Yup we had a cake war lol!!!!! All the kids ended up with cake on their face it was just too funny lol!

Don't worries there was plenty of untouched cake left so after all that we had some mango pie,chocolate something cake and mandarin cake yummmmm:)

It was such a fun night I tell ya lol!

In a sadder note my Orlando is doing better from his strep throat but I did mentioned he had a ball in his knee remember.Well it doesn't want to go away.So the hubby took the day off work to take him back to the hospital.The thing when they were at the hospital originally there was no ball at least not that big.

The Dr just squeezed his knee hard and moved it around and said it's just the pain of heeling he's going through.So he prescribed him meds and that's it.Yeah the next day his knee was the size of a melon.Anyways we waited to see if it heeled on it's own but nothing no improvement, SIGH.... I'll let you know what they tell him today but I hope it's nothing serious.
Anyhow here are more pictures of my card if you like to take a peek.You know me I can't settle for one picture lol!

My Copic recipe along with my Pantone Letraset markers.My image is a Simply Sassy Image called Fairy Tale.This one reminded of my sister with her long flowy black locks.Without the green eyes which I now have added light brown for a hazel color :)

Well I'll come again soon so stay tooned.Thanks for all my loyal followers!!

I love reading your posts they certainly do make my day,THANK YOU MUAH!!!

Make It Colourful Yellow/Purple Challenge

Hello friends been out for a while now.I've been quite busy with the kids.My son is home sick with strep throat :(

The meds seem to be working and he's feeling with more energy now.He has this HUGE ball on his knee which we were told at the Hospital is probably just bruised.If I were to show you a picture you would think otherwise.Oh right we ended up at the hospital because he had become so Ill and couldn't even walk up right.So that's were I've been and I try to get some colouring time when I can.

Well the good thing I had these images colored a while back and all i had to do is create a card for them.I had my MIC Petals and Palings Fence since probably last year lol! I don't recall but I was going to use it for another card then realised that the size proportion didn't go, LOL!

Anyways I saved it for another day and guess what ...they fit perfectly with my mini Tildas yeah!!!!!

OH RIGHT LOL!I should get to my point :) It's time for another challenge at Make It Colourful.This time around the theme is easy just simply color your images or whatever you wish Yellow/purple combo.Not blended in together just regular colouring nothing complicated right!?

I used my MIC Petals and Palings fence digi and my gorgeous mini Magnolias from Magnolia-licious that is :)

Tilda Holding a bunch of Roses and Tilda spreads Love.

Which they are sponsoring us this week I might add EEEEKKKKK!

My copic recipe I think was (lol)

Light Purple:V000,V01,V12 and Shadow C1

Dark Purple:V01,V04,V09,V15

Yellow: Y000,Y11,Y15,Y35 and shadow C1

So make sure to try to play with us for a chance at some ubber candy.Now if you like to get more inspiration stop by and visit my teammies as usual they did an amazing job on their own creations.I love my teammies their so inspiring to me.Every single one of them with their gorgeous unique style of colouring.Not to leave behind the Guest Design team members.

Well I'll be back tomorrow with something else to show so I better go finish it now!!

Stamp With Fun #112 Sketch

Hiya I'm back :)

I was planning to take a break this weekend but my Sunday plans finished early. Sooooo , I thought I whip up a card for Stamp With Fun.

Yup it's time for a new Challenge and I'm featuring ,

"Don't be scared I love you" stamp from In2Stamp.I colored in Kraft paper this time and I decided to give this technique another try again.I have about 4 images colored so far and It was much easier this time around after my first attempt(YIKES).

For this image since it's a bunny I decide to go with flicks on the pencil for a furry visual. GRRRR, I do noticed I had forgotten to add a shadow behind my spider.

Here is the Sketch to follow by my teammie Tina.

OK so I have a few pics to share from our fishing day yesterday.Lauren kept asking me for more close-ups, LOL! There were about 10 pictures of just her on this rock, LOL!

This was Krystalyn's only catch but it was a no keeper :(

Oh Sophia what to do with her sigh.... this little girl as you can see what telling me she could stand on the rocks if she wants to.Explains hands on waste.

That's all for me and I hope you get a chance to play with this sketch.I'll be back until Sat with another creation.If I get something else done before than I'll come and share :)

Thank you for all your thoughtful comments.They really do mean loads to me:)

Have a great week,Ruby

Farewell Oprah Winfrey and ABC Challenge :(

Hello everyone!

What a day and how to start my waffling sigh.....

If your here for the Little Darlings blog hop go HERE or just go to my previous post :)

Okay let's start by letting you know it's time for a new challenge at

ABC challenge.For this week is the letter U for unusual fold.So let's see those unusual fold creations:)

I created a Gatefold card because I needed lots of extra room to decorate LOL!Now for the sad news ...........

With much sadness I have to inform you I have decided to step down from ABC Challenge.I am truly so sad but with my kids coming out of school very soon.I know it's going to be hard to squeeze cards in during the summer.I hope they will consider inviting me back as a guest later ((smiling to Vicky))
Thank you ladies for all your support and for having me design next to all of you, ((TIGHT CYBER HUGS))

Now brings me to another reason why I created a card with Farewell Tilda.As many of you know Oprah Winfrey is leaving her show after so many many years.If you're a avid follower you'll know i'm an loyal Oprah fan LOL!!!

It's always on my top list of things too know about me when i get those blog awards :)

Anyways her final taping of her show was going to here in Chicago!!!

I'M IN CHICAGO and I thought maybe just maybe I'll get lucky with some tickets.OHHHH,I was a nervous wreck when I registered to try my luck. After a couple of days later I got an email from them.I was not picked......I was so sad and even my MIC teammies were hearing my sniffs.I was just heart broken and getting a smile from me that day was a challenge.

My teammies immediately came to my comfort and gave me loads of ideas to try getting tickets another way.They gave me hope not to give up so easy.By making her a card and letting her know how badly I want to be there.Of course thank her for all she has done for us here in Chicago lol!

I don't even care if they give or not give stuff out but just to have had the chance to be part of The Oprah Winfrey last show is just a wow!!!!!!!!!

Well guess what the taping was yesterday so I didn't get my card out on time to even try my luck :(

sigh........I went by my regular life cooking for my kids,doing errands and creating cards with this big KNOT on my throat.Here and there my eyes would get all teary but I'll be ok :(

With a little time I'm sure I'll survive.

I still have to mail out my card because It was made for her.I just don't know how to go about it???

Well here it is and what do you think? All colored with my copics and

OF COURSE my maggies come from Magnolia-licious store.

LOVE THAT STORE AND DIANA LOL!

You open it and close from the side.On the front panel i'm featuring Farewell Tilda.My sentiment says, know how special you are and how much you are loved.I followed the sketch from Suzanne Dean at Magnolia-licious Highlities challenge.

Here is a close up of Farewell Tilda


This is the inside featuring a more brighter happier scene.So basically we want Oprah to leave with Happy tears and everything will still be alright for whatever task she takes on.
The side panels are left for my writing and I also wanted to add either a poem she likes or a quote she likes to recite.Don't know what to pick yet.


close up of Tilda in Summer background scene

here is a close up of Tilda with big Ribbon

and that's all folks sigh....What do you think of my card? You think she'll like it?

Can I ask you what's been your ultimate favorite Oprah episode lol!? I have to say mine was when they went to AUSTRALIA!!!!! I got to see where my Aussie friends live teheee!!!! GORGEOUS PLACE!!! So many dreams come true that day :)

That's all for me today and I hope you get to play with us at ABC Challenge.If you read my waffling oh bless you LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm gonna have to do you a card for staying here so long tehee!!!
