Hoppin' Along...

...Miss. Katie decided to do a fan-based blog hop this week and of course, I had to hop on in.
Start over at the Paper Makeup Stamps Blog and hop on along!
Here's my creation for the hop:


I used the Under The Misletoe Fairy on a birthday card I made for Natalie's teacher. I just love this little gal (even though she takes forever to draw with all that detail!).

Hop on over to Kim's blog next!


You...

...Rock!

I just had to bust Spike out while making some birthday cards last week. His crazy eyes and striped tounge never cease to make me giggle just a little bit.


You can't really tell in the photo but I used a dot of Crystal Effects on both of his eyes to give him a tiny bit more manical look. I had fun pairing some funky paper (which is embossed in real life) and some giant star brads with this little guy.

I know this post is reeeally short today but let me tell you, I have been very busy lately. Some days I don't know how I am going to get it all done. I think I've also been feeling a tad bit burnt out and of course, right when I *need* to take a break from crafting to let my creativity build back up, I just can't. Colin has been diagnosed with a speech problem and we've been working with him nightly AND Natalie has been having extra homework on top of us teaching her how to read. It's so much work!

I'm going to keep on trucking though :o)

Have a wonderful day everyone!

Love, Meli

Makeup For The Weekend...

...let's get sketchy!

Sketch challenges are some of my favorites...we all have the same bones to our cards but every one's interpretation is ALWAYS different. Plus, if I'm stuck in a stamping slump, sketches really help pull my mojo out and get me going again!


Above is my take on the Makeup For The Weekend Challenge this week. I found this image of adorable Elle the Easter Fairy in my stash and thought I'd use her for a birthday card...but since she's carrying an egg, I had to finesse it a little bit! I stamped out a present from another stamp set and cut her little arm out so I could make her hug it.

The colors are NOT colors I would normally use, but I thought I'd go out of my comfort zone a little bit and try something new :o)

Be sure to upload YOUR Weekend Makeup sketch cards to the Paper Makeup Stamps blog so we can all see and admire them!


A Recipe...

...for beauty.

Our recipe for this month's release party challenge was:

Foundation: use textured cardstock (prism, bazzill, or embossed)
Blush: use the color pink
Eyes: use the color black (like mascara)
Lips: use something shimmery/shiny (like lip gloss).
Use code PMSRP20 for your gallery keywords.



Here's my take! I used sweet Arianna with her frog. I love her big hair :o)

You have until MIDNIGHT TONIGHT to get YOUR card onto the Paper Makeup Stamps blog for a chance to win a stamp of your choice!
