The current challenge theme is "Valentines or Love" and ironically enough the challenge will end on Valentine's day! Make sure you save that date too because we've got a fun Valentines surprise for you ... and maybe even a freebie too! (hint, hint)

Remember, if you are using a Little Miss Muffet Stamp, then you can submit your project into the current challenge even if it doesn't follow the theme. That's right... we love to see what your making and it's a fun way to show off your project. It also increases your chases for the random draw too. ;D Otherwise, you can only submit one entry if you are using any other stamp.

Hope you've enjoyed today's inspiration and thanks for stopping by.
Don't forget to come back on Valentine's day! :D

Challenge #28 - Valentines and Love

*** Update: Challenge Date Extended ***

We've extended the challenge for an additional week and you now have until February 21 to get your projects in! :D Plus, you can come over to the ThreeCompaniesTeamUp Blog and play in the Paris "Love" Challenge!

Good morning! Did you enjoy our new releases last week? I thought they were just gorgeous! Well, this week it's time for a new challenge here at Little Miss Muffet stamps. We had some stunning entries into our Blues and Creams challenge. I was really impressed with how lovely those colours look together and what beautiful projects everyone came up with!

Since Valentines Day is coming up and everyone is probably busy making Valentine's projects right about now, we thought our challenge this fortnight should be a easy one...

Valentines and Love

We want to see your Valentines cards or if you're not really into celebrating Valentines day... just a love themed project. You can use any image you like to enter, but we always love to see projects using Little Miss Muffet Stamps images, and if you do use one of our images you can submit an entry with the theme Anything Goes!

Here is some inspiration from the Little Miss Muffet Stamps team to get you started:

Arabella

Barbara
Cleota

Frea

Leah Ann

Mette

Peggy

Sarah

Shelby

Shirley

Stephanie

Trina

So how's that for some inspiration?! If you would like a closer look at any of these projects, just head over to the DT members blogs.

Briefly:

You have just about two weeks to get your entry in.

The challenge theme is Valentines and Love OR Anything Goes if you use a Little Miss Muffet Stamps image.

Please link directly to your post for this challenge and mention and link to this challenge in your post.

The winner will receive 2 (or 3*) digis of their choice from the shop. (*if the winner would like to join us as a guest designer for the next challenge they get to choose a third image).

Have fun!

Please leave your entry with Mr Linky below...

We look forward to seeing your projects!

Next we have Frea from the blog Creafrea

"Hithere, my name it Frea, I live in the Netherlands and am a full time primaryschool teacher. In my spare time I relax by crafting and have done so from thetime I could hold a pencil. I started out scrapbooking, but then I saw a supercute stamp and that was it. Nowadays I rarely do any scrapbooking and loads ofcardmaking and other fun paper projects. Finding out there was a blogworld outthere was amazing and I enjoy seeing all those gorgeous inspirational creationsof my blogfriends.

I have always been crafting from drawing, knitting, sewing, embroidery, crochetetc etc. I discovered card making in 2008 after being fed up with shop cardsand bought my first card making magazine. And I have never looked back. Likemost crafters I horde stash and have tons I might never use lol. After a lot oftrial and error I finally found my "own" style which is more CAS thanbrass. My favorite embellishments are buttons and ribbons and I love workingwith kraft."

Next up we have Sarah from the blog Lazy Daisy

"Hi, I'm Sarah, I live in a small town on the East Coast of England. I started card making just over threeyears ago after seeing a hand made card on the internet, thought I would giveit a go and I've been hooked ever since! I love stamping and am working onperfecting my colouring with Promarkers. I've a long way to go but all you talentedladies keep me inspired, visiting all your wonderful blogs is what keeps megoing!"

And finally Vicky from the blog Sticky with Icky

I live in Northumberland in theUk. I am 39 & have been married to my lovely husband Craig since I was 16.I have 3 children, altho 2 of them are now adults, my eldest son 21, mydaughter 19 & my youngest 15 & I have also beginning of 2012became a new grandma which I absolutely love!!!
I started crafting about 20 monthsago to try & stop me from re-decorating all the time as it cost a fortune& hubby thought it would be cheaper me getting a hobby lol........how wronghe was lol. I knew absolutely nothing about stamping, colouring oranything else but I am now hooked totally & I have way too much stash. Myfavourite part of it is the colouring, I can sit for hours colouring in images.I am learning things all the time from all the wonderful crafters in Blogland& cant believe it took me this long to find this hobby.
Thank you to all the fabulousgirls on LMM for having me on this team, I really do appreciate it.

I needed a hobby to keep me out of the cookie jar and I saw an infomercial on paper crafting in January of '10 and thought that would do the trick. Then I picked up my first copic in May of '10, and it's been a full blown addiction ever since. It's been a fun journey and the amount of talent I've seen in Blogoland is awe inspiring and has shown me what is possible with hard-working!"

New Releases - Echo and Gilgo

2011-11-17T02:31:00.000-06:00

I can't believe it's almost Thanksgiving and all those things I've been putting off will finally have to get some attention!! LOL I think that's why time seems to go by quicker the older we get is because we put off more projects towards the end of the year. :D

Anyway, I'm happy to say we're starting off the New Releases for this week and today we're showing off two new Animal Friends... Gilgo and Echo! These were created with the boys in mind since I just mailed off my last boy card a couple days ago.

Check out what the team has created for you today...

Challenge #22 - Simplicity

2011-11-10T02:00:00.000-06:00

Good morning! I can't believe another two weeks has gone by so fast and here I am writing up a new challenge post for Little Miss Muffet stamps! We had some lovely entries into our Cloud challenge last week, but not as many as I was expecting... who knew clouds could be so intimidating?! Our new challenge for this fortnight is an easy one... it is:

Simplicity (plus a charm - optional)

You do not have to use a Little Miss Muffet stamps image to participate, but we would love it if you do, and if you do, we have made it really easy for you... you can choose not to stick to the challenge theme and submit Anything Goes! The winner of this challenge will receive two (or three*) digital stamps of their choice from The Shop. (*if the winner would like to be our guest in the next challenge they get to choose a third image).

Here are the Simplicity inspired creations from the DT:

Our guest and winner from Challenge #20 - Iulia using Christmas Dino

Shirley using Summer Breeze

Stephanie using Coriander as Goldilocks

Trina using Sarah

Viktoria using Button

Viv using Mitten

I have to tell you that the Simplicity theme was actually much harder than it sounds, but didn't the DT do a fabulous job?! If you would like details on any of these projects just head over to the DT members' blogs and it would be so nice if you left a lovely comment while you were there.

Please see our simple rules on the side bar and leave the link to your card or project with Mr Linky below. Don't forget to have fun!

I live out in thebeautiful city of Chicago ((GO CUBS))!! Which I wouldn't trade for the worldbut sometimes I wish I was out in Hawaii,BRRRRR it's cold here!!!!! :D

When the weatherpermits the family goes out fishing and do SPORT activities. If it's notsoftball it's soccer, basketball, baseball, football, golf..... Well that's alittle bit of my family and I.

Welcoming ... Trina
Viktoria

We'd like to welcome our newest member to the team and I'm so excited for her to join! Read about her below and be sure to visit her blog! Welcome Trina!!

"Hey, Trina here! Unlike most of my online crafty buddies, I have no little people or fur babies. I have Copics, though! I've always loved to color, and in the last year and a half, I've been working hard to improve my skills. Luckily, I've met plenty of awesome crafters who have encouraged and advised me. I started making cards after looking for resources to digi scrap. Once I found digital stamps, I pretty much gave up on the idea of scrapping and fell in love with making cards! Now I'm here after stalking the blog of one of my favorite colorers, Barbara! Thanks for having me!"

Challenge #20 - Girly Girl

2011-10-13T02:00:00.004-05:00

Today along with our previews we have some exciting news and changes to our design team! You can get to know our newest members at the end of this post, but first I want to say a fond farewell to our September Guest, Carisa, and two of our current members, Debra and Katja. They have been wonderful to have with us and I've so enjoyed having them on the team - they'll surely be missed! *Hugs

This week we are releasing four new images from all different themes from the Fairies, Operational Treehouse, Snuggly Giftables and a new theme for Animal Friends! You can check out all four in the WHAT'S NEW section of the store.

These are such fun images and I can see Pluto being used for all occasions! :D We have a fabulous guest joining us this month, Maria, plus a new full time member Leah Ann! Check out who these gals are...

Maria said: "I've loved everything crafty since a young age and it's been about 4 years now that I've rediscovered my creative side through cardmaking and the odd scrapbook page. My crafty time is usually done in those late evening or early morning stolen moments between family and work priorities. I draw inspiration from my beautiful daughters while hubby indulges me ~ ok lovingly rolls his eyes at my obsession with paper and cutesy images ~ lol.

"I've made some amazing friends through this hobby and they constantly inspire and challenge me to think outside the box. Thanks to Barbara for inviting me to Guest DT for the month of October and I look forward to playing along with her fabulous DT and gorgeous images."

"About me: Hello All. My name is Leah Ann and I live in Franklin, Indiana. I am a country girl at heart, although I live in town. I've lived in the country most of my life, and love cows, goats, chickens, horses, yep! all that!

"I am married to my wonderful husband Don and between the two of us, we have 5 children, and 12 grandbabies ages 2 to 16. We are so blessed! When the grandbabies come to visit Mamaw, the first thing they say is can I make a card. I have been a Stay at Home Mom, although I have painted, wallpapered, and done craft shows at local schools. I'm pretty much retired now, and spend most of my time stamping or blogging, checking out all the wonderful blogs and creations. Love it!

"I have been Stamping for about 7 years now. My daughter brought a Stampin Up Catalog from work, and that's all it took for me to get hooked. I was a Stampin Up demonstrator for a while, then I found the wonderful world of blogging and digital stamps, and have found so many cute images, tutorials, and other talented folks and now here I am. When I picked up my first stamp, I did not know how much I could actually do and learn with ink, images and paper. I just found copic markers a few months ago, and I'm sort of hooked on them, but I do use other mediums too. I've learned how to use copics through books, blogs & tutorials.

"I have a bedroom set up as a Stamp room, and it is so full, I think I need a bigger one :O) I've got to give a lot of credit to my Mom who was an interior decorator and taught me so many things that I use when making my cards and projects. Credit to my parents for raising me to do the right things and become who I am today.

"I am so honored to become a part of Miss Muffet Stamps and DT. I'm excited and am here to help and support anyway I can! "

Good morning (or evening) all! Welcome to day two of new releases at Little Miss Muffet Challenges!

Do I sound a little different today? Well, that's because I'm not Barbara, I'm Arabella from the DT and I am going to be popping in once a week to say hello.

How did you like those two lovely Little Misses from yesterday?! Aren't they gorgeous? I don't know how Barbara does it! These lovely ladies are so versatile and so easy to colour up!

Well today we have two more beauties to share with you... Today you get to meet Madelyn and Kaitlyn... even their names are pretty!

All four of these lovely ladies are available in the shop now...

Here are the stunning creations from the Design Team:

Don't forget you still have one whole week to get your entry in for the Purples, Blues and Greens challenge currently running here at Little Miss Muffet stamps! I have to admit I was a bit stumped for this challenge at first, but once I sat down and started colouring it all came together really easily! But if you are still a little put off, don't forget, if you use a Little Miss Muffet Stamps image then the challenge is always Anything Goes! Easy Peasy!
I hope you enjoyed today's release! Have a lovely Friday!

Hope you're inspired by all these fabulous creations! Now is the time to say farewell to a few of our fabulous members... thank you to Delphine, Faye and Jen who did a fantastic job! We'll miss you and thanks for all your inspiration!

I'd like to welcome on Viv as a full time member and I'm excited to have her stay with us! Plus I'd also like you to meet our Guests for September ... Carisa! I'm excited to have Carisa join us this month - read all about her below and check out her blogs and see what she has been been up to. ;D

"I have been married 10 years to my amazing high school sweetheart and we have 3 beautiful kids together. I am a stamper at heart and have been making cards for nearly 3 yrs now. I am most passionate about coloring. Put some fresh rubber in one hand and some copics in the other and I am happy but I am also branching out to mixed media & altered art. I've come across new stamp companies, new techniques and love learning as well as sharing something new all the time. I have been completely blessed and honored to serve on several amazing design teams in the past year. I love every single minute of it and have met some truly amazing and talented crafters in the process. It's one of my favorite parts of this hobby to be able to meet so many unique people and develop friendships around the world. Each time I'm asked to be on a new DT, I'm amazed that they want lil' ol me! Each one has helped me learn, grow and evolve my personal style of designing as well as gain confidence to continue to follow my own personal dreams. I'm so excited to be guest designing this month for Little Miss Muffet Stamps! I met Barbara while on Make it Crafty and have always admired her style & just adore the stamps she designs so I'm thrilled to be able to design with them!! It is my hope thru my blog to inspire others to keep learning, growing & creating as well, but most importantly just to have FUN while you do it!"
