Sometimes you gotta let your hair down!

Good morning.......just!

Dropping in with another Lollipop card today, but this time, it's the male variety. Here's 'Sunday Best PJ Landon' all dressed up in his 'way out' suit, from the newly released digi's over at By LORI Designs..........

Yep, I've been at the paper piecing again! Couldn't resist showing a little of Landon's 'wild side' by dressing him in his star spangled suit.

He's coloured today with Copic markers and papers are from the new Jillibean Soup 6'x6' pads. I added ribbon, twine, star and felt buttons from my stash, and a couple of Nesties to finish off. The sentiment is actually a freebie I picked up from the generous Paulette over at Create with TLC, and I almost forgot to mention, that the layout for this card was inspired by a 'Sweet Sunday' sketch from a while ago, over on Karen Giron's blog.

If you get a chance, you may want to head over to the Lollipop Shop to check out the other awesome creations from the Lollipop Girls. You wont be disappointed!

That's it from me for today, but I will be back this week....promise!
Have a great day

You've gotta pick a pumpkin or two!

Well, I finally managed to finish colouring some of the new 'PJ's' that were released recently from byLoriDesigns and.........oh they are cute! Introducing Katie and Grace............

So these images are from a new line of digi's called the 'Wagon Trails' which you can find over at the Lollipop Shop , and who knows what may appear in those wagons in the future..........the possibilities are endless!

Now, when I'm deciding on sentiments for cards, I often wonder if anyone is on the same page as me. Take this card for example. Whilst I was colouring this image, a particular song was running through my head, with the word 'pumpkin' replacing one of the lyrics, and that's why it's ended up on today's creation. I thought it was quite witty (in my own sad little way!) and fit perfectly, but my question to you is...............does anyone have a clue which song I'm talking about? I'm guessing not, but I thought I'd throw it out there, so leave a comment if you think you know (and that includes you Mom if you're reading this!). I would say the Brit's amongst us would probably have a better chance at guessing correctly, and you'd definitely have to be no younger than 35...........although the movie this song came from, was a favourite of my 7yr old niece at one time, if I remember correctly. OK, no more clues, just take a guess and I'll call it market research! (lol)

Back to the relevant stuff! I coloured of course with my Prisma's and you know, Copic's for skin areas. DP's are from Queen Martha as I affectionately call her, as is the punched border. I covered a chipboard leaf with a scrap of DP from my stash, and added the button on there, along with a little twine from Jillibean Soup. The ribbon is again from a $$ store.......I'm lovin' the bargain ribbons I'm picking up from there recently! I embossed the brown cardstock using a Cuttlebug folder, and the sentiment is printed from my PC, then cut freehand and doodled.

Done. Cute I'd say, and perfect for Fall.
There are more new digi's over at the Lollipop Shop just bursting with 'cuteness'. Here's a little preview for you..............
