Great Outdoors this one is not mine :)

HI everybody! My minnie me (Lauren) wanted to share her card she created a few days ago. First thing she told me this morning was she was mad at me because I made her miss the deadline.

YIKES!! I froze and rushed to see if there was still time.You see she wanted to participate in the 

La-La Land Crafts challenge for kids.

the theme is outdoors.

so of course she reached for my things :)

Marci with Bunny has blue ears because I think she thought those are earrings :)

and she decided to colour her dress just like her Easter Dress.

UMMMM correction baaahaaaaaa!! I just got yelled at again lol! that she is 6yo not 5 UGH!!!!!!

OMG If you guys could see this little one breathing on my neck now lol!!

I think she is a little minnie me. From crafting and just personality wise she is all me lol!

this is her this morning in her pj's :) 

Well I hope you like her card as she put so much thought into it and she's already planning on her next creation.

HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND!!!

Lauren and Ruby

La-La Land Crafts Kids Challenge OUTDOORS

Dreaming Big Summer Days

Hi me again :)

Ok I'm back .....LOL!!! OK WHO'S TIRED OF ME ALREADY LOL!

Because I'm getting tired of myself whooof!!!! lol!

Ok I'll be taking a few days off like....2 days lol! In the meanwhile let me tell you it's time for another challenge at Little Darlings!

The theme this time around is "Outdoors" so I did do a last minute change of plans ... explains why I'm a day late lol! 

I was still in the zone of the MIC challenge.."creating movement" so I decided to try it on another image and when I saw this chickie I knew she was gonna be perfect.

oh I just love her big smile and her hair flowing back. I don't know about you but just looking at her makes me feel happy and simply smile. 

This image is called"Just Swingin" and you could find her at the Little Darlings store HERE.

Everything is coloured with copics on MIC Blending card. 

I also embellished the card using the gorgeous MIC Laser Butterfly Swirls corners and Butterfly Leaves chipboard.

Ok so if you want to play with us this fortnight come on down and let's see your Outdoor translation.

I know my summer days are full of parties and barbies(BARB-Q'S), omg!! I'm already tired of just thinking of it lol!

Make sure you stop by the challenge blog to visit my DT sista's for more inspiration HERE :)

Till next time!

Happy Easter Mini Magnolia scene

HI!! Me again and this time a special card for another GDT invite from Deep Ocean Challenge :)

Thanks for the invite friends :)

The theme is masking or merging as many images as you can. I had a go with my 

Mini Magnolias and believe me if I had more to fit the theme they would of been in there too lol!

I created a bright relaxing Easter scene. I guess their waiting for the Easter bunny.

Everything is coloured with copics on MIC blending paper.

I'm showcasing 

#498 MINI African Sun

#482 MINI Row of Trees

#546 MINI Welcome to a lovely Home

#363 Tilda and her Bunny

MINI Bunny Tilda

#557 MINI Soccer bench

ok that's all for me today and hope you could join in the challenge over HERE :)

again if you want to play a long my candy come HERE at your chance at it :) GOOD LUCK

and thanks for stopping by.

Outlaw Luka is a SPEED RACER!!!!

La-La Land Crafts meets Make It Colourful this time around  here for me :)

Outlaw Luka has made his way here with no harm done.

The theme at La-La land Crafts is "WILD CHILD" and at Make It Colourful is "creating movement"

Ok this was my first time at creating something like what I did. I mean I've done water movement and there was something else but I don't remember right now,lol!

BUT my intention was to make it seem the Luka was speeding obviously :)

To add to the illusion I slanted the image itself a little bit, teheee.... shhhhh!

As I said it was my first go on this particular strategy. I did a couple of mistakes but now I know for next time. I won't point them out so I'll just leave it to you to find them LMBO!!!!

One thing I could say is that a digi that is in PNG format would make things much easier I think for me personally.

BUT BUT if you're a stampin person then you simply mask and stamp lighter as you get to your last image almost like the no line technique. As my friend Rosie and Tracy V. say 2nd generation and third generation stamping :)

Well I hope you like what I created and if you attempt this please tell me!!!!! I WANNA SEE IT!!!!!! I could imagine you could do it with a kid running, dancing, speeding :) even someone walking!!!

Ok so If you like to join the Make it colourful challenge come to the GALLERY HERE and you could see what my teammies have done for this and get ready for some outstanding ideas and amasing colouring SERIOUSLY LOL!!

Oh but the La-La Land Crafts DT has their own eye candy also.The team has created some sweet but some WILD creations to share with you too and their gorgeous colouring is a wow!!! :)

You could come and visit HERE and to join in the fun swing by the Costumer gallery HERE.

You could find the wild,"Outlaw Luka" HERE at the La-La Land craft store and you could find the gorgeous Laser Flower Leaf Swirls chipboard from MIC HERE which I painted to create flames :) and also I coloured on MIC Blending paper

A closer look at the dimension of my MIC CHIPPIES 

Oh btw his face is dirty not hairy people!!! He is after all a kid you know, lol!!!!!

I hope you like my card and if you have any other suggestions, question etc please ask me.Thank you kind friends for all the lovely comments here, through email and on my FB wall :) THANK YOU!!!!!

My New La-La Land crafts creation is HERE or scroll down. 

If you just so happen to stop by well then you're in luck cuz you found yourself in a middle of a hop whooohooo!!

If your coming from my sweet friend Suzanne's blog then your on the right track.

The Magnolia-licious team is having a fun hop and the theme is," Easter Bunny Hop" but I'm hoping with a non easter image lol! I couldn't resist and if you ask me she could play it off right lol!!!

say yes please say yes lol!

I created a matching basket set and to tell you the stories about it lol!!! Well first my baby girl has fallen in love with the basket! While I was creating the card she would throw the basket over her arm carefully.Walk to different doors of the house and say trick or treat!!! UMMM yes weird but I was cracking up! she's so silly and BOOOOYYYY was she in awe of the basket!Kept kissing and kissing Tilda too lol! All you could hear is AWEEE AND AWEEE AWEEE OMG!!!!!!!!!!! Oh my little girl is such a gift ((xoxoxo))

I used #281 Princess Welcome Tilda from the NEW princess and princesses 2012 collection available at Magnolia-licious now!

Ok now to tell you that this was a pending idea from many many many days ago lol! 

You see my friend Dena came up with a basket with a sentimental value to her.When she shared the tute on her blog I knew I just had to give it a try.Well it's been close to a year and I did get to it lol! If you want to make one, stop by the gorgeous and talented friend of mine Dena's blog for her easy tute HERE.

I changed it up a bit to make room for lots of Easter goodies :) the size of the base of the Ovals is 5 1/2 and I eye balled the rest but basically followed her idea overall. I know I'll be making at least 2 more.I have another 5yo and has already picked a Maggie but I need to do one for the boss so I know I'll be busy tehee!

THANK YOU Dena for sharing your GORGEOUS GORGEOUS Basket with us! 

I wanted to go surprise her on her blog on my take on the basket.

BUUUT NOOOOO she was here early in the morning while my dark pictures were still up lol!!! she ruined it LMBO!! Anywhoo I just saw Dena made the Magnolia Ink Inspirational Blogger whooooo!!! CONGRATS HUN! I guess it's a Dena day huh??lol!!!!
