Lollipop Watermelon Smile Digi image can be found HERE! 

I did something a little different and cut the base of my card into a circle.  Then I used a spellbinders die and cut out a mini card base and adhered it to the circle panel creating a mini card.  I used my copics and prismacolor pencils to colour in the adorable Lollipop Watermelon girl.  Added a few red pearls to finish it off!

Don't forget to visit the By Lori Designs blog to see what the rest of the fabulous designers have to show you today!

A hug for you...and mystery solved!

Everyone needs a good hug every now and then right? This card is perfect for such an occasion!!! Today I'm showing you one of the brand new lollipops over at By LORi Designs.

Lollipop Monkey (Girl)Now there's a little story behind this card. I coloured up this little monkey a few weeks ago and left her sitting on my desk on top of the matching dp by Doodle Bug Designs so I could come back and whip up a card later. Well, it mysteriously disappeared and I searched all over the place with no success! Until the other day, I was walking by my daughters little play area and something on the wall caught my eye. I looked over and sure enough there was lollipop monkey, stuck to the wall ever so carefully with a big wad of scotch tape. I very slowly removed it being careful not to take off a hunk of paint with it so I could pop it on a card for my long overdue post! I chuckled to myself and decided that I will give this card to my daughter, to reminder her I'll always be here to give her a hug, even if she continues to decorate her playspace with moms expensive crafts! The funny thing is we've always called her our little monkey since she was a baby, always on the go, ready for fun, and full of mischief! You would never know it to look at her though!

Anyway, be sure to check out the brand new challenge today at By LORi Designs , the theme is 'All About Boy'! We hope to see you play along. You can link up your cards HERE!

Thanks for stopping by! Have a great day!

Little Ballerina!

Hi There everyone! Today Im sharing with you one of my very favourite Lollipops by my sweet friend LORi Boyd!!!

This is 'digi' AVERY and she is available for purchase in the Digi Shop

I coloured her up to resemble my daughter who just loves her dance classes! She loves wearing the pink outfit and tutu and has a blast in class! She's already claimed this card as hers!...LOL!

The sentiment was a rub on I've had forever (Melissa Francis) and the gorgeous ribbon is by Prima which I picked up at Scrappin' Great Deals!!!

You must check out the By LORi Designs Digi Shop! There are so many adorable images to play with, you won't be dissapointed!

Thanks for stopping by my blog today! Have a good week!

Lollipop Dog!

*This is my second post for today, for the Baby Buds New Release click HERE!*

TGIF!!!! Happy Friday everyone! I'm extra happy today 'cause I woke up to no snow outside! Yep, its been so mild lately and with the rain over night it has melted away the white stuff! Yay!

Today I'm sharing with you a cutie patootie dog from the Lollipop Shop! This is Lollipop Dog and she's only $1.00 at the By LORi Designs Digi Shop! Wow! This is a must have if you ask me!

I used some Basic Grey 'Max & Whiskers' papers and embellishments and coloured Lollipop Dog with my copics using E31-37 & E50 for the fur, W2,4,8 for the nose and YR 12&18 for the bow and collar! Hope you like it!

Also don't forget a new challenge started up at By LORi Designs yesterday, check it out and join in on the fun!

Something yummy...

Today's challenge at The Pink Elephant is:

'Something Yummy'

This week we have been sponsored by one of my fav's, 'By Lori Designs' featuring some new lollipop digis!

This is Ladybug Lollipop, with a big handfull of cotton candy! I think that totally qualifies as Yummy! I printed her off and coloured with my copics. I coloured up the cotton candy and added some pink flock mixed with some fine glitter to make it look more real. Almost good enough to eat...haha!

So be sure to check out what the rest of the talented Design Team has to show you. If you have a sweet tooth, you'll like what you see!

Have a great day! Thanks for popping by!

Baby Lollipops!

So yesterday I showed you what you can do with some of the cute new

Digi Lollipops available HERE!

Today I've got a few more to show you!

Check out these adorable little Baby Lollipops designed by Lori Boyd!

Lollipop Baby Jussie

Lollipop Baby McCoy

(I coloured this one up as a bald little baby girl!)

How cute are these little pops? I must say I do enjoy using digital images, they can be resized to any size you need to suit your project, and you can fill up a whole page without getting your hands all inky! And the best part is they're very economical! That means more to spend on all that pretty paper...or markers or buttons?...lol!

So be sure to check out all the new Lollipop digis available HERE!

Thanks for stopping by! Have a great day!

Lollipops x2!

Today...I'm giving you a sample of some of my very good friends' Lori Boyd's sweet Lollipops, x2! I just love them to bits! These sweet little images are now available to purchase as digi's exclusively by Claudia & Co Stamps!!! Check them all out HERE!

For my card I used Gracie and Dylan!

'Sigh' young love...

For this card, I was inspired by the wonderfully talented Linda Heavens and her card HERE! I remembered she had made that beautiful card with her magical colouring and all, and thought I'd try to find my inner Linda...I've got some work to do...lol. She's been MIA lately and wanted to let her know everyone is missing her at the Pickle!!! (our lss). Please get that wrist all healed up, as you can see I need some help with my grass...LOL!

I also tried the do-it-yourself cloud background for the first time. I cut out a little scalloped template and sponged away. I was trying to figure out why it didn't look right to me until I noticed that my clouds are upside down! Oops! Ah well, now I know for next time!

So if you just can't resist these sweet little Lollipops (like me), head over to DCRU! and check them all out!

Have a great day, thanks for stopping by!
