Singing in the Rain - February 2010 Monthly Mix

Hi everyone, it's Taylor again today. I wanted to share some amazing samples that the Design Team has come up with using the newest Monthly Mix, Singing in the Rain.

This first one is from Maren. How adorable is this little chickie? I love the popped up umbrella and chick on here. This card is so simple and sweet!

What a stunner in red that Wendy made! That butterfly background is so wonderful :)

Love love love what Tiffany did with this umbrella - turning it upside down is so much fun! The medallion images inside, the colors - -it is all so perfect!

This beauty is Deb's, and it is all around amazing isn't it? Her ribbon treatment, the coloring on the watering can -- I could stare at this forever!

This clean and simple card is AJ's. She picked great designer paper to go with this line of flowers, didn't she?

If you haven't seen the whole set, here is a small view:

It is FULL of awesome images that have so many possibilities for projects, cards, tags, scrapbook pages, and more! If you aren't already a mix member you can find out all of the details and sign up here. As a mix member you get special newsletters and discounts as well as the mix set every month at a great price!

Have a great day and enjoy some stamp time!

Guest Rockstar Stamper!

We're pleased to introduce to you our second Guest Rockstar Stamper... Sunghee! You can find her blog here...

www.creativityinprogress.com

....and I suggest you go take a look because she will be describing the projects I'm about to post in greater detail and she has an AMAZING blog. The detail in her projects always wow me! Beautiful stuff.

Sunghee chose our A Little Love Sixlets set to play with for her Guest Rockstar samples, and she's also a member of our Monthly Mix Club she she threw a little Mix love in there too. Let's begin shall we?

This is an adorable chipboard princess album decorated with our valentine princess. I believe that is our A Little Love digital paper adorning the castle too. When my two-year-old daughter saw this photo she said "Ooooooooooooooooooh, princess!" I couldn't agree more.

And inside another little princess meets our princess!

I LOVE this rocket Valentine's Day box...especially how Sunghee popped-up the rocket...

 
  
 

I had to ask Sunghee how she made the grass/turf for this soccer ball card. It's a pom-pom cut in half! Ha ha!  Very creative.

This tree bird project features the "heart sprouts" image from the January Monthly Mix set.  This is just my style..I love the texture and layering and shabby-chic look to this project. And the stitching! Note the little red brad she used in the "o" in the word Love. Little touches go a long way!

 

 

This next project will make you drool. It's a handmade Valentine's heart box holding ribbon sucker roses and a pearl necklace! This would be so fun to make for a friend. Sunghee used the little candy hearts image in red and paired it with black and white. One of my favorite color combinations.

 
   

There you have it folks--another fabulously creative Lizzie Anne Fan turned Rockstar! Make sure to leave a comment for Sunghee and go and visit her blog to see more of her awesome work!
 
  

Introducing Girl Scout and Treasured Memories!

Hello everyone! We are starting February off right with two fabulous new Simply Singles. The new Singles of the Month are...

GIRL SCOUT and TREASURED MEMORIES

   

Last month we released our cute little Boy Scout, and so of course we just had to create a little Girl Scout to go along with him. We think you’ll love our Girl Scout as much as you love her cookies! :) We also have a beautiful sympathy sentiment with a decorative flower image. It's a lovely quote that honors loved ones lost.

Here's a gorgeous card designed by Taylor Usry using our new Treasured Memories single.

Speaking of new stamps, our February Mix set is about to ship out to our Mix Members. "Singing in the Rain" is full of fresh and fun images you will love!  Mix members receive many benefits including an ongoing 20% on all Lizzie Anne stamps and products (does not include the Mix sets.) To find out more about our Monthly Mix Club, click here. Happy Stamping everyone!

 

Weekly Sketch Challenge #112

Hello LAD friends.

Are you as happy as I am that January is OVER.  So it is February and the SUN is out.  Wow it is going to be a great day. 

I have the sketch challenge this week.  The base is 4"x4" and the top piece is sticking out above the base.

And for the twist this week we need to see some hearts.  You know to celebrate the month of LOVE.

If you play along make sure to post your link over in the LAD forum.

Here is the sketch.

 

Happy Stamping!

This first card is from Taylor, and I love it! I love the color combination...and a great layout!

 

This next card has Tiffany written all over it!? Don't you agree!? I love this little image from the February Mix,Singing in the Rain! I love the combination of paper she used and think this little chic would brighten many a day!!

  

Kendra made this great bookmark! How fun is that!? And I love the colors...so fresh and cheerful! I love the staging she did as well..Little Women is one of my favorites! Wouldn't it make you happy to have a bookmark like this, instead of a scrap of paper or a receipt or something like that!(Or am I alone in having crazy bookmarks!?) This image is also in the February Mix.
  
How about  another Februrary Mix image--(yes, if you can't tell, you do NEED the mix, it is wonderful. They are all wonderful and just keep getting better!)--that I love! I love the paper that Maren used for this card...very soft and pretty colors! And if you know me, you know I'm a sucker for Chocolate Brown anything!

Deb is the newest member of our Design Team and has added a great touch to the group! I love the colors and paper she used for this card. I think this is also a fun layout, very user friendly! And come on, isn't that one of the greatest sentiments ever!?  
There you have some fun peeks friends. I hope you run over to the sketchbook and make a list of all the things that inspire you...there's a lot of candy for the eyes! Have a great one!!  Toodles for now!

Back from CHA!

Hi everyone! We are back from CHA and we had a blast! We had the chance to meet so many wonderful people while there. It was nice to put some faces to some names! We've got some pictures to share with you of our fun weekend...

Day 1- First of all, we live in the west/west coast and decided to drive all of our inventory and everything we needed for our booth down. We were packed to the seams! I was so amazed we fit everything we did into the car.

Tanya and Tricia and the fully loaded car!

Here's me in my little cubby space. This was after we took our personal
bags/luggage out so it's a little less crowded in this pic.

 

Setting up the booth

Tricia adds the finishing touches

Day 2 - which was day 1 of the Supershow, we got together with some of our design team girls for a yummy breakfast at the Storyteller's cafe. While there, we visited with the woodland animals.

Tricia, Dale, and Meridith

Kendra, Dale, and Deb

Tanya, Zena, Koda, and Jeni

We had a great time getting together with these girls!

Weekly Sketch Challenge

Hi everyone! This week's sketch will have you thinking outside the box. The twist this week is to use anything other than a square or rectangular card base. For the sketch and sample, I used a circle but you could also use stars, hearts, easter eggs, flowers....really anything you can dream up!

Can't wait to see what you create! 

 

supplies used: Lizzie Anne Designs January '10 Mix (From the Heart) and February '10 Mix (Singing in the Rain), Cricut, Cuttlebug

Taylor's Picks of the Week

Good Morning Everyone! It's Taylor here. I've been on a birthday card making spree so that I have a good stack of them piled up - that way no one's birthday can sneak up on me! I browsed through the sketchbook to find some fabulous birthday creations to inspire me, and thought I'd share them with everyone!

This sweet little birthday box is from Katie Ellsworth. Isn't that ribbon treatment fantastic? She used the Party Animals set.

This yummy card was done by Maria Levine, and she used the Cupcake single. They look good enough to eat!

This is one of Maren Benedict's fantastic creations. She used Sweets and Treats to make this simple, striking birthday card.

Here is one Josyln Neilsen made, again using Party Animals. I love the simplicity of this one - so fun!

This beachy birthday card was made by Jeanne Streiff. I love the different colors she used on this - not traditional for a birthday card but perfect with the Shore Thoughts set!

This last card was designed by Michelle Boyer and uses High Hellos . The colors are so bright and cheery!

Thanks for looking at the birthday cards I picked today. Hope they give you some fun ideas for stamping!
