Well guess what today is?
Day 1-
Time to kick off the next 5 days of Sneak Peeks of the NEWEST C.C. Designs stamp sets!
ย The images will all be released Monday August 3rd. Be sure to check out the C.C. Designs blog, each day, for your chance to WIN the set revealed. They are ALL fab.
Oh, yes, I fell in love again!ย I swear it just gets better and better!
Christine’s new girls Swiss Pixie’sย are just -ADORABLE! There is just no better word ๐ I adore the “precious moments” sort of appeal they have. They are also fun and easy to color. Sometimes I don’t enjoy messing with LOTS of details. In fact, to be quite honest,ย it scares the bejeebers out of me! I’m not that good at coloring, so it can often be intimidating.
That being said-these are fab!
Heidi among the flowers
I think she is just beyond adorable. I had fun pairing her with some bright cheery colors, because she just needed to be CHEERY to me. If I sent this to you wouldn’t you feel happy? It just sunny, in its own way.
Of course, I colored her with my Copic markers. I am working on getting LOTS of refills now that I have owned mine so long, and have gotten SO MUCH use out of them. One of my very best purchases, ever!!!!
I added a little “pattern” to her dress using my colorless blender, to remove the color.
The “sky” is very lightly colored in the background. I wanted SUBTLE!
Now we move onto the otherย UBER cute Swiss Pixieย image for August (OH! MY! WORD! Did I just type AUGUST?! Seriously-where did the summer go?)
Leisel and her Wheelbarrow
C’mon now! How cute is she?
Another fun one to color.
(Oh yeah and you should see next months!! If you didn’t get the Fall Kit, kick yourself NOW! LOL! Or plan on getting it again when it is available!) I *just* got mine, and those were all the images people at the hospital were OHing and AHHing over while Jay was in the hospital!)
LOVE the wheelbarrow. I HAD to add some felt flowers to it!! It matched my K& Co paper that Im so in love with. I alos added a heart epoxy sticker by Cloud 9 (thanks Sonia :D), over the heart on the wheelbarrow.
I also added some bling to her ponytail holders, glitter to her wings, and dots to the barrow bottom.
All just little details, yetย all important ๐
OK that does it for me.
I have so much more to share tomorrow, so see ya then (Oh boy real cuteness tomorrow too!)
On a creative note, drop me a line telling me your fave color combo! Im needing some new and refreshing ideas ๐
Till Tomorrow

Hi Lauren,

I love those images…sad that we don’t have those in Finland..Your color compinations are just fantastic…I like blue, green compination and i prefere light colors…I like also that there is something which pop up in the eye….Sorry my writing mistakes. I’m not so good at english. But I’m still trying..:D
What do you mean you’re not good at coloring?? Helloooooo!!!! You are absolutely fabulous at coloring Lauren. Please don’t sell yourself short. You can always send the cards (or the stamps if they still make you nervous) ๐ to me. Seriously though, they’re both absolutely fabulous!! I don’t think you could have messed them up if you tried.
Lately I’m really obsessed with highly saturated orange–goldeny, deep orange–with blue. Love it! Also, I hope your husband is recovering well. I totally know what you mean about just hoping they’ll wake up. Surgery is a scary thing.

My Favorite colors together would be black and red pink and brow. Could you email the directions of shrinking down those digital images of the cowboy and cowgirl I bought for Ethans family. Alos Tell Jay to get well soon. Susan
Lauren, your little pixies are so cute. Can’t wait to get my hands on those stamps. Hope your husband is recovering well, it is hard on everyone when you have a “patient” in the house.
My favorite colors are a combination of blue and green. Like the sky and trees.
when I was growing up I used to LOVE Precious Moments along with my little Hello Kitty ๐ & yes I think you can color anything perfect no matter how much detail is in there! Because of you , you inspired me to purchase my 1st set of copics (well my husband got them for me) because I showed him your video you made on how to use them! BTW, Thank You!!!! & I didn’t even have to wait for a special occasion to get them !! even better ๐
Wow! Wow! Wow! Absolutely fantastic cards!! Love the darling images. What do you mean you are not good at coloring??? Your images are beautifully colored!!! Yep, I’d sure be in a sunny mood to receive one of these beauties!!!
Great cards Lauren ๐

Too, too cute! Love your cards! For colore combos I like pink and green with a touch of yellow.
So adorable!! I just love all you do :-). Would love for you to check out what I did with your “All Boxed Up” template (my friend absolutely LOVED it!!). Here’s the link: http://kristinshappy.blogspot.com/2009/07/ladies-ink-3d-challenge.html
Also, my oldest (a son) is starting kindergarten at the end of August and you are *famous* for those teacher gifts… I’m racking my brain and going through some of your past projects… anything that you’ve done that you really got a fab response that you can direct me to?
Thanks for all the inspiration you provide!
Good article makes constant progress, thank you share, the accumulation of knowledge is to keep learning, attention is the beginning of wealth.
