Hello all my creative friends, Tracy here with you today, to share with you my last Design Team project.
Well with it being my last day, I thought I would go out with a bang and share two projects with you all :)

The first card I want to share with you is Miss Lilly Sakura.
I see this is a favourite among the DT's as we have all had a go with colouring her up :)
She is a cutie, thats for sure :)














I coloured her up with my Copic markers. You can check out my blog Tracy's Treasures tonight where I will share with you the colours I used if you are interested.
I paper pieced her dress and punched and formed some paper flowers for her hair and the corner of the card.


















When my daughter went to Toronto a few weeks ago, she went to China town and brought me back a few packages of these pretty bags.
So how could I not use Miss Lilly Sakura. She goes perfectly with them.
I also added a tag to the inside of the bag for a private message to the recipient of this card :)


















The inside of my card.
I like it to be as pretty as the outside.
I almost always use index (recipe) cards for the inside to write a little note inside the card. I also like to use a bit of leftover papers.














I have a bonus card for you as well :)
Olga has a couple of Free practice sheets that you can download and practice with, or to keep track of your favourite colour combinations you like to use.
As I was just about to fall asleep one night (as that is when most of my ideas come to me) I came up with another use for these cute girls.
I have 3 daughters and they like to give gifts to their aunt who they adore. So I thought of using Olga's girls on a card.
I coloured each girl up with similar hair colour to my daughters ;)














I just want to thank Olga for asking me to join her Design Team 6 months ago....has it really been 6 months ago?!
I have enjoyed colouring her sweet images, and getting to know the other ladies on the Design Team.
But no worries, you may see me pop in here and there.
As I am hoping to enter a few of the Little Blue Button Stamps monthly challenges :)

I hope you all have a creative Tuesday :)

Tracy :)

And her she is

Hi  Dawn here for my day on the blog.

I have a Miss Lilly Sukura card to share today.  This image has to be my favourite Miss Lilly.


I started with some blue textured card for my base.  I then printed Miss Lilly onto card and onto the patterned Japanese paper.  I paper pieced the her dress and coloured int the rest with Copics.  I used a new edge die and a piece of tissue box chipboard to make the flowers.  They looked like cherry blossom to me.  The sentiment is a white peelcraft sticker.  I added some more of the Japanese paper along the top.  Miss Lilly was popped on dimensionals.

It's nearly the end of the month, but there's still time to enter our challenge (see here) ~ use bling on your card.  And it's nearly time for next month's release... you will LOVE them! 

Hello friends! Have a fantastic Sunday! Today we would like to show you another beautiful project from our August guest designer Debbie!
Her first project you can see here.

This is 5 1/2 x 5 1/2 card. The paper is Dear Lizzy Neapolitan collection, paper doily, sentiment stamp from Walmart, handmade flower and flowers from my stash.

Hello ladies it is Marla H. (craftymarla.blogspot.com) and Marla H. on YouTube here for my DT day.  I chose to use Watering plants Ivy for my first card.  This is an adorable summer time image and so fun to color.    I chose a white 5 X 7 card stock base.  I then added a piece of Pink Paislee pattern paper from the Spring Jubilee line that I got in a RAK to the base of the card.  I then adhered a Webster's Pages journaling card to the top left hand corner of the patterned paper.  I used my Grassy Edges My Favorite Things die to cut out some green card stock and adhere to the bottom of the card.  I cut out the Greeting Farm fence die with some dark brown card stock and added it in between the two layers of grass die cuts.  I colored the adorable Ivy with my markers, the list will be below the photo. I added waterfall stickles to the water drops.  I also added Spiced Marmalade stickles to her hair bow and flower on her hat. I used a technique on her hat to give it added texture that I learned from Amadoreros on YouTube.  It is to use some Copic blender refill or alcohol blending solution on a piece of paper towel and just dab it on the colored hat.  I really like the way it gives it more of a straw like texture.   I then added 3 small flowers that I purchased online in the bottom right hand corner of the card.

  Markers Used:
skin= Ivory and Satin promarker
hair = Y02, Y04, Y11
dress, bow and hat band= YR02, YR61
shoes= E59, E47
hat = E21 and E31
water can= Metallic silver sharpie

I used a white 5 X 7 card stock base.  I added a piece of patterned paper from My Minds Eye dwell to the card front.  I then cut out a banner of another piece of paper from the same collection and adhered it to the bottom of the card. I then glued on a Prima Lyric wood button to the banner.  I glued a Webster's page journaling spot card to the right hand side of the card with another journaling spot from Echo Park tucked in behind that.  I die cut the Well Worn Greetings My Favorite Thing die from another piece of the My Minds Eye "Dwell" patterned paper.  I took the Love Sentiments2 from Little Blue Button Stamps and die cut the sentiment with another one of the Well Worn Greetings die from My Favorite Things.  I inked the edges of the sentiment with peeled paint distress ink and glued to the other label die.  I colored up the adorable jar of hearts image with my markers.  The colors will be listed below the photo and then I added some frosted lace stickles to her belt and hair bow.  I added peeled paint distress stickles to the heart in her hair.  I then added some glossy accents to the jar to make it look more realistic.  Thanks for looking


Markers used:
skin = blush, ivory and Satin promakers
hair = E11, E13 and E15
dress = R22 and YG45

Have a wonderful weekend!!

It is Marla H. here for my DT day and I chose to use the adorable Miss Lily Cup of Tea for my two cards.  I used some beautiful BoBunny C'est LaVie Collection that was given to me by Lydia (Itripledogdareu) on Youtube in a RAK.  I used  a white 5 X 7 card base and added a couple of different pieces of the patterned paper to the base.   I then took a piece of vintage lace from my collection and added it to where the seam of the two papers is.   I colored up the adorable Miss Lily with my Copic markers.  I used YR00, E50 and E53 for the skin.  I used E89, E47 and E79 for the hair.  I used some Ditto glitter glue on her shoes and hair bow.  I also added some glossy accents to her eyes and the tea.

I cut out a small table with my Silhouette cutting machine and then I placed a Kaisercraft wooden tea cup on the table.   I used a sentiment from a Sweet and Sassy stamp set.


The second card for today was made using the same image.  I also used the very same paper pad.  I chose to use two different pieces of patterned paper again which I adhered to my 5 X 7 white cardstock base.  I used a beautiful vintage piece of heart trim from my stash where the seam of the papers was.  I then added a doily from my stash to the center of the card.  I colored up Miss Lily using my markers.  I used my ivory and dusty pink Promarker for the skin.  I used E11, E13, and E15 for her hair.  I used BG72 for the mug and added some glossy accents to the tea part.  I used R56 to color in her dress, bow, and shoes.  I then added some stickles to her shoes and bow.  I punched out a circle using my Fiskars circle punch on the patterned paper and stamped a sentiment from a Fiskar stamp set.  I then inked the edges of the circle with Tim Holtz aged mahogany distress ink and placed it on the doily.  I then took a couple of Studio Calico butterflies that I received in a RAK from NurseLarelle on YT.

Hello everyone, I would like to share with you my new project featuring the beautiful new release "Miss Lilly Sakura". I received a nice sturdy journal from a friend and thought it would be the perfect project to alter.
 Using Wonder tape (aka red liner tape) I adhered black cardstock that I had traced and cut to the journal cover, as  well as Prima washi tape to cover the spine.  I colored the image with Copic markers and added small "pearl" bling to the flowers and kimono. I then covered the edges of my image with washi tape to make an instant and easy frame. Covering the image with a beautiful transparency  not only matched the poppy red in the kimono but protects the image from natural wear and tear from using the journal. Lastly I layered  Petaloo flowers to which I used acrylic flowers as centers and for an extra sweet touch added a little heart. I hope you like my altered journal.

Hello our dear friends!
Each and every of you can be a helping hand!
I decided to make this sale to help my friend who's 2-years daughter is very very sick .
Recently they made a lot of tests and MRI in Belorussia and found out that a little one has a lymphoma in her brain. Now they gather money for chemotherapy.
Here is her picture and link to her group in Ukraine.


  So I'm trying to help them. This girl (mother of 2-years old cutie) was my friend last 23 years (almost all my life) - we lived next to each other and studied in the same class.
So all the money which I will receive during this big sale I ill give her.
 

Good morning friends! Today we would love to introduce you our guest designer Christine! She is very talented and extraordinary lady who amazes me with her gorgeous projects! Please go ahead and visit Christine's YouTube channel
