Celebrate ...

What do I have for my lovely loyal followers today.  I was asked to guest

design once again for 'Creative Craft Challenges2 Blog' 

and the challenge today is 'Occasion' but not a birthday.

I was given this image from Bugaboo Stamps called

'Shopping for Two' to work with. 

I have also used -

Papers, lace, pins, bag die, teddy, charm, ribbon, buttons & sentiment.

Thank you for visiting my blog today and I do hope

you will come and play along with us at 

Creative Craft Challenges2 for this one!

Take care, love x

Winter Fairy ...

I just fell in love with this stamp from Mo Manning she is just tooo gorgeous!

Of course I had to have a few others too so watch this space.

I have coloured 'Halla' with Flex/Promarkers and I have

gone blonde for this one.  I usually play safe with browns but I am

really pleased with how this one has turned out.

The papers are from Summertime Designs and the free kit 

is called 'Winter Wonderland'.

I have used trees, ribbon, cones, bell, pearls, cheesecloth,
snow, sentiment and finally distresss inks.

Thank you for visiting my blog today, I have alot of projects on the 

go at the moment so please pop back again soon.

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges

Awesome dude (Joanna Sheen DT Card) ...

Wow, this is my card for the new challenge over on the Joanna Sheen Challenge blog

which has now gone to a fortnightly challenge.  The new challenge is titled 'It's a mans world' so we 

want to see your creations for the men in your life.

I have used the 'Groovy Baby' stamp set for this one which contains several 

good size stamps but I have used just the camper van for this one.

I have used backing paper from Polka Doodles and distressed it with

TH Picket Fence paint.

Some Kraft card and the sentiment is from Tickled Pink Stamps.

The die is from Die-namics.

All completely hand stitched as always.

Shells, drift wood, twine & charm from my stash.

Ur the best! ...

Today I have another image from the Pretty Tuff cd-rom and I think this image is my 

favourite of them all!  I have followed the sketch over at the 'Here come the boys blog' challenge

this month something I have never done before but I am pleased with the results.

----

Backing paper from the same cd, some kraft card and some coredinations.  

A little bit of twine and a star charm, a couple of polka dot buttons (turned over just as I wanted black)!

I have coloured the image with just Promarkers in my usual dotty style.

The sentiment is from the set as before.

To an awesome dude ...

Today I have been playing with my new Polka Doodles CD called Pretty Tuff 

which is fabulous for the men/boys in our lives.  I was inspired by one of my favourite songs by 

Bruno Mars 'The Lazy Song' which I quite happily sing badly changing lyrics 

to suit my teenagers.

---

Papers and digi from the cd, Papermania silver clips, stars and pearls from my stash.  The black

rubber cord has been recycled from somewhere! Plenty of hand stitching, TH distress inks.

There are plenty of fab sentiments on the cd rom but I have used  a stamp from Tickled Pink Stamps 

which I purchased as part of a set so I am not sure whether it is still available, sorry.

Mother's Day ...

Today I want to show you my creations for Mother's Day 2011.  They are infact watering can cards, you should be able to make out the opening at the rear of the can?  It gets harder and harder each year to make something different, a one off or in this case two!  

I got the template off the internet and enlarged so I could make the cans out of Bazzill 12x12 cardstock.  Simply wet glue together and then embellish with flowers, pins and babys breath from Wild Orchid Crafts and some handmade ones too, using Sizzix 3d flower die.  The sentiment is from Sundae of Seasons by Polka Doodles.  Butterfly is a Tonic punch adorned with gems for the trail.  Button, raffia, angel hair, wooden heart and ladybird all from my stash.  The leaves are again my MS branch punch.

Thanks for looking and I hope all Mums enjoyed their special day!
Take care, lots more crafting to do
