Waiting For My Prince and the Paper Nest Dolls News

Hi Everyone, 

Ok I have some news, some times you click with teams and sometimes you just don't feel like you can give what a team is looking for do you all agree? 

This is my very First post as a Paper Nest Dolls "Doll"

Woo Hoo!!

This past weekend, I went with a wonderful friend I met here in Orlando to the ScrapFest at the Gaylord Palms in Florida, I was so excited to be going to be in my "Element" since I have not been around many paper crafting people and have been at our house in Florida feeling a bit lonely! Well it was there that I happened upon a line of rubber stamps that I ...Yes I have not seen before!!! WOW :-) I met the owner and her husband and little boy and between chatting about rubber stamps and blogs and the show I felt like I had know her my whole life, like I was meant to meet this wonderful new friend, and so the story begins that I bought quite a few of The Paper Nest Dolls images Created By Christine, who is also the owner of The Paper Nest which is located in Fort Myers, Florida! I met her again Saturday and kept bumping into her the whole weekend at the different booths, well to say the least, emails and text messages I felt more like family to Christine, LOL I was asked to be on the "dolls" DT and accepted:-) 

I am happy to show the card I created with one of the stamps I got at the expo which is called "Waiting for my Prince" she is in Red rubber and digital image too, But boy are these stamps made beautifully! They ink up and stamp wonderful!!

 I colored this cutie with Copic markers, and used a sentiment I found in a google search and printed it up with my own fonts for this card, MME paper "The sweetest thing in tangerine was used 

used tiny rhinestones that I added the BG11 Copic marker on to add jewels to her crown! and yes some glitter to part of her skirt:-) Please go look at The paper nest Challenge blog too for wonder inspiration besides the Paper Nest blog that the DT members add their creations to often:-) Christine has all the stamps at the online store for you to see:-)

Shabby Chic/Vintage challenge with Milk And Coffee Deisgns

Hi Everyone! I am so excited to be showing you my very first card as a Design Team Member for :

Milk And Coffee Designs Challenge team, 

They have adorable digital  images, and I have linked the little cutie I used below 

This challenge is to add some shabby chic/ vintage flare to your project!

I used the sweet image called Charlotte Valentine Date, but I think she is cute for any time!

I used some pretty MME paper with Kraft CS and inked the edges lightly with Antique linen distress ink. I wanted just a hint of a darker color so added a deep red/with a bit of pink hue in it for the CS and a Wild Orchid flower:-)

Copic markers were used to color Charlotte in and a tiny bit of Prisma Pencil to give some depth to the shadows of her hair.

Please go see what the rest of the team created and why not have a try at the challenge with us ?

The design team went with a "Teal/Aqua" theme today.  Suzanne had mentioned her desire to "look like a mermaid"... LOL... so heck, we'll play along.  (Old age is old age, peeps... just smile and say... "that's nice, honey." LOL)
