SCRS 2nd Anniversary Release - Birthday Cake Emily

Hello everyone!

Welcome to the first day of previews at SCRS.  Today I am excited to share Birthday Cake Emily.  She will be available in the SCRS store on July 14th.  Make sure to visit the SCRS designers for more peeks of Birthday Cake Emily.  Sparkle will be giving away Birthday Cake Emily to one lucky person!  For a chance to win, you need to comment on all the designer's blogs (check out the list below). Then head on over to the SCRS blog and comment on the Emily post.  You have until midnight EST each day to comment.  The lucky winner will be announced on Monday.  Good luck!!

Here is my card featuring Birthday Cake Emily...

Isn't she pretty?!  I love the whole design and that cake!!  I would love to have a slice of that chocolate cake!  hahaha!  This image also comes with two fun sentiments.  I kept the card very CAS. The dp as well as the lavendar paper are from Wild Rose Studio's Bella paper pack.  I got lucky finding that paper to match her.  I colored her up then I found the paper I thought would go well with her coloring.  I normally pick paper first but this time I did it backwards, and totally lucked out!  See that gorgeous flower?  Well my fellow teammate, Kim Yu, made me some of these for a swap and I finally brought one out to use on this card.  I was so happy that it matched!!!  Doesn't she do beautiful work?  If you haven't stopped by her blog you must!  From there you can head on over to her Etsy store to purchase her gorgeous handmade items.

Alrighty, make sure to stop by each of the designer's blogs and leave some love (including mine):

Stop by the SCRS blog tomorrow where you will meet the next new release.  Until then, Mahalo for stopping by!

Lilo's Fun Friday #32

Hello!!

The weekend is here!  Woo Hoo!! 

I thought it would be fun to share something quick for Lilo's Fun Friday so I'm rounding out the week with Miyoko from Sister Stamps release #8.  She's so fun to color and I love that little sassy tilt she has.  It reminds me a of yearbook pose. hahaha! 

I colored her up and pop dotted her on to some scrap paper and made a fun tag.  She's perfect for quick tags or gift card holders.  Check out the Sister Stamps blog for more inspirations.  O!  And I was practicing a bit more on hair coloring and I love how it turned out this time.  Almost as good as Amy's.  I'm gonna keep practicing.  :)

Well friends, there is going to be some very exciting things happening here next week.  I hope you have time to stop by to check it out.  For now, have a terrific Aloha Friday and a fabulous weekend!

Mahalo for stopping by!

Hugs,
Lilo

Happy 4th!!

Happy July 4th everyone!

It's so weird to be off in the middle of the week, but I'm definitely NOT going to complain.  :)

I have a little something that I whipped up real quick featuring Sister Stamps, Kiyoko.

She's celebrating our Independence day with a serious fireworks show!  I dusted off my Cricut to cut out the star shapes.  Yes I do have one that occasionally gets some love, especially when I don't have that particular shape in Spellbinders, hahaha.  I layered red, white and blue cardstock for the base and top of the card, the bottom of the card I left white and scored it at the top then glued the red and white together.  The patterned papers (both on Kiyoko's kimono & the fireworks star behind her) are from a really old stack from DCWV, definitely came in handy to complete this card.  : )

Wishing you all a fun 4th of July.  Keep watch on your kiddies around the fireworks and be SAFE out there!!

Hugs,
Lilo

SCRS Challenge #83

Hello everyone!

A big huge Mahalo to all of you that stopped by during the Sister Stamps blog hop.  I appreciated all the lovely comments and I hope you all were inspired by the ladies that shared as much as I was/am. *: )

Now, I'm super excited to share that I will be a GDT for Sparkle Creations for the month of July!  This is a very special month for SCRS, as it is their 2nd Anniversary!  How cool is that?!  To start off this month's celebration, SCRS is having a Throwback challenge for the next 2 weeks.  So pull out those SCRS images from the 1st year and start creating.

For my card I chose Lantern Rin and gave her a 60's vibe/look. 

Used my favorite K&Company Berry Sweet paper pad to paper piece her outfit, the butterfly and the wonky reverse rectangles.  I added the pretty bright pink mulberry paper (embossed with the Oriental weave embossing folder) onto black cardstock and layered the other papers on top.  Added a sakura to the bottom and a colourful butterfly to the top.  I hope you can see all the lovely sparkles.  For my very first SCRS GDT card I wanted it to "sparkle" hehehe.  I didn't add a sentiment as this could be used for any celebration or just for fun card.

Head on over to the SCRS blog and check out the rest of the DT's creations as well as all the fun details for the Throwback challenge. 

Mahalo for stopping by!!  Have a wonderful Tuesday!!

Hugs,
Leanne

Happy Release Day Sister Stamps!!

Hello and welcome to the last day of the Sister Stamps 1st Anniversary blog hop.  You should have hopped on over from the fabulous Amy Young's blog, but if you didn't and want to get some inspiration and possibly win a stamp then head on over to the Sister Stamps blog and start at the beginning.

Whew, it's been a wonderful 4 days of hopping and I hope you are all inspired by what you have seen from everyone that participated in this awesome celebration.  I wanted to say first and foremost Mahalo to Jenny for asking me to be a part of not only a release GDT, but also a participant in this wonderful celebrational blog hop.  Thank you to Jenny and Denise for these wonderful images and a big CONGRATULATIONS on turning 1!  Cheers to many, many more!  And to my blog hop sisters you gals ROCK, I am so inspired by all that you do and create and I am so happy to be in your company. XOXO!!

For my last day's share I wanted to do an altered project.  I bought a set of boxes from Michael's way back and they have been sitting on the shelf waiting for attention.  I finally broke down and altered one.  This is the second box in a set of 3 and I thought it was appropriate for the last day of the hop.  Hope you like it...

Now this is the side of the box.  I used washi paper to cover the box and the lid.  The dies are the familiar C.C. Designs bubble border and the MS flower border

Next up is the top of the lid featuring Mariko with a special message:

Now what's say we see what's under the lid yea?  Why it's a card with Mariko on it!!  What else is under there?

More cards featuring all three characters from the new release.  Here's Mariko...

And Miyoko

And last but certainly not least, Takeo



I hope you liked my last day's share as I had a grand time making them.  Don't forget today is the BIG release day, so head on over to the Sister Stamps blog and check out their sidebar for a list of vendors. 

Now it's time to say Aloha and hop on over to Nadine's amazing blog.  Tell her I sent ya.

Mahalo for stopping by the past few days and leaving wonderful comments.  I hope you enjoyed the hop as well as all the wonderful creations from all the lovely and talented ladies using these adorable stamps.  Take care and happy hopping & shopping!!

Hugs,

Leanne
