Sketch and Stash challange #8
I finally managed to get around to do some crafting today, I've been eager to ink up this stamp for ages I think she's such a cutie and she'll go down really well with my neice who's 5 later in the month. This is for the challange over at Sketch and stash. The stamp is a penny black one and the papers are from papermaina, sentiment from Stampin' Up! circle of friendship set.
Birthday cheers and wishes

It was fun and really easy to make.Card stock: Whisper White, Really Rust.Inks: Pink Passion, Pixie Pink, Pretty in Pink, Mellow MossPunches used: Scallop Edge, Scallop Circle, Tag.

The challange can be found over on Stamp with us.Having just become an independent demonstrator I don't have as much stuff to play with as I would like.... but hopefully thats all going to change real soon. I've used the Playful Petals stamp set and coloured the images in with pretty in pink, real red and mellow moss markers,...
1 photograph 2 different pages

Easter project
Here's another project that I did with Sharon, we used the new stamp set "Petal Pizzazz " which can be found on page 6 & 7 of the mini catalogue. This was the first time that I had stamped on a candle. We used so saffron, old olive and perferctly plum card stockand inks.
Time out to craft
I took some time out this week to do some crafting, I was getting bored off sorting out all my craft stuff to put in my new "cubby". I made this gorgeous reciepe box under the instructions of my Stampin' Up! mum Sharon. The stamp set we used was Tart and Tangy along with the designer papers. Card and ink's where pumpkin pie, old olive, real red, and bashful blue. I got to play with some of her punches as well : scallop circle, circle, oval scallop, oval, corner and tab.
