Pearls, lace and seeing double

I haven't been feeling too well over the last few weeks.  It's only been the last two days I felt up to doing anything creative.  So, here goes.

Macabre Monday: Terrible Twos

Ruby from Dilly Beans colored with Prismacolor markers
Cupcake and Berry bow stamps by Sanrio

For this challenge, we had to use the same image twice.  Here, I used Dilly Bean's Ruby; I love this image because she's cute yet creepy.  Those vacant button eyes just staring.  I decided to do a Sugar and Spice theme.  And even though they are total opposites, they are still twins; so I "sewed" them together.  I'm also to going to submit this for the Fashionista challenge over at Art with No Boundaries

I used foam dots to add dimension

Whoopsie Daisy: Pearls and Lace

Isn't she so sweet?  She's the epitome of spring.  I made a chunky page for this challenge.  I colored her with Prismacolor markers and added a flower to her hair.  I tried to make a lace bow (first time ever) and I think it's an epic fail; we'll try again some other time.  I also printed a lace pattern and added some pearl accents.

That's it for now.  Gotta go and rest up.  Thank you so much for stopping by!

Peace and love,

Mary xoxo

Girly girls vs. Green and Black

Second post of the day...
Had a surprise call from my friend Lisa today and we enjoyed some lunch at Cozymels.  (My fave Mexican go to place).  I spent the morning at Blick's art supply and Michaels.  Other than that, I was enjoying quiet time at my craft corner; and here's what I got for ya:

Dilly Beans: GREEN and BLACK

Froggy stamp from Modes4u
Sentiment by teegs scrap n cards

I have this cool little stamp from Modes4u which I stamped on cardstock; I then scanned the image and resized on my computer.  This cute froggy trio was colored with Prismacolor markers; I used my butterfly border punch from Martha Steward and added a green and black ribbon from my stash.

Just Some Lines: Girly Girl!

I'm back again this week for Just Some Lines!  I was so happy when I found out I won last week's challenge.  Thanks to everyone over at JSL!  Jehanne's digistamps are SO AWESOME!!!  When I saw this week's theme, I knew right away which digi I wanted to use :)  I colored her with my Prismacolor markers and added some punched out butterflies.

Well, that's all I really have energy for today.  Gonna go make some tea and chill for a bit.  By the way, I'm trying out a new posting format that I learned from Jenn.  It really helps me consolidate if I'm joining more than one challenge :)

Ciao for now!

Someone was at my craft table!!!

Oh no!  Someone's been here and look at the mess she's left behind!

Background smeared with Ditto Inkpads
Palette and splatter embellishments from Recollections
Graffiti and tiny bunny footprints by yours truly :)

I'm going to have to talk to that bunny...
Well, before I go clean up this mess, I'm here to remind you about this week's Celebrate Art challenge over at Wicked Wednesday.  Join in on the fun for a chance to win Toby the painter by The Greeting Farm.
Gotta go, ciao for now!
