Welcome to the Blog

Over at the Stamp Shack I joined in a swap titled "Black and White with a Punch of Colour" and here is what I created. I used two of my favourite stamps at the moment the background is from the Baraoque Motifs set from Stampin' Up! and the image is from Sugar nellie. I've used Rose red (Stampin' Up! card stock and marker pens) as my punch of colour for the flowers, emblishing the punched ones with pearls and the others with crystal stickles.

At the end of June its my hubby's birthday and our wedding aniversary so I've been making sure that I get the cards done prior to my carpal tunnel op which is scheduled for next week that is the right hand, once thats done its the left ones turn!!I used the Sketch saturday's challange to do this one for our anniversary..... the 20 years seem to have sailed by really quickly!!

Here's my take on this weeks Friday Sketchers challange 53. Sue kindly let me play with her Cute companion stamps and I used papers and flowers from my stash to emblish it. I think she's sweet peeping over flower pot.......

I'm a little late in posting this card on to my blog I had it sitting in my Craft cubby for a couple of days now.I've used the Garden Whimsy set froms Stampin' Up! as well as their Bashful Blue and Navy card stock and inks to take part in this weeks Mojo Monday challange.

Over at Cute card thursday for their 60th challange its to use letters or numbers. Here I've used Stampin' Up! "t" for thankyou from one of their hostess sets.This meets the Challange on Stampwith Us as well as their theme is "Thankyou" and it also meets the on Creative card crew which is "Minimal" this week, so the only dressing up I've done is to put stickles on butterfly.

Here I've used the same image from Sugar Nellie for my sketch and stash challange #10.The card stock again is from Stampin' Up! (Eggplant, Pale plum) and the patterned paper is from my stash of oddments that needed using up.

Heres my card for this weeks challange #50. The papers and card stock are all from Stampin' Up! main catalogue, and the image is my latest treat from Sugar nellie " Country Garden", sentiment from"Circle of Friendship" from Stampin' Up! Emblished using prima flowers and stickles.

Here I've produced my very first scrapbook page using the "Teaparty" 12x12 papers (which can be found in the mini catalogue) and all I've added is some stickles to jazz the flowers up a little. The layout is one that I have used before but I adjusted it to suit my papers and photograph which was taken at Christmas and is a picture of Heidi and my youngest neice ( I have 15 neices and 7 nephews overall).

shhhhh!!!!!!! don't tell my upline but I've used an Angel Company Stamp here to make this card for one of my daughters girlfriends. Well the Ink is by Stampin' Up! I layered the butterfly to give it dimenson and added cotton candy stickles.

Over a Cute Card Thursday their challange is mirror, mirror use something shiny. Here I've used a Rak'd image from my friend on the Shack which I have watercoloured with my Caranache pencils. Then I mounted it on some spare alchol inked paper then layed it on some silver foil which I had put through my wizard with one of my cutttlebug folders before dabbing it with some brillance ink.
