Welcome to the Blog
For ideas, inspiration and tutorials“Toodles and Binks” stamps
I went to a local craft show called "Sincerley Yours" and came across a lady playing with these stamps. They have others in the range but this was my favourite its called "Toodles and Binks Skate".Here I've coloured in Whispers pens and then added glitter for effect. For the background I used my cuttlebug folder snowflakes chalked over them in matching colours, papers are from my stash and I used some silver ribbon to hide the join.
Friday Sketchers challange
I quickly made up these cards for the Friday Sketchers challange which can be found here.Here I've used some papers that I've had laying around for ages and my new "Daisy and Dandelion" stamp set that I managed to get on friday night. That I was dying to play with, I've jazzed her up with flowers with a little gem.
So Happy!!!!!!!!
I can't beleive my luck at the moment... not only did I win Elyzbells MEGA blog Candybut I'm in her weekly Sunday showcase, which can be found here.All I can say is thankyou to Elizbeth and I look forward to playing with your newly released stamps.
Tilda and her puppy
Here's another of my new Alota stamps (the basket). I couldn't wait for this to arrive from the States, it took around 5 days which I thought was fantastic!! Here I've used my favourite Tilda at the moment, I think the puppy is soooooooo cute. The sentiment is form Elyzbells and I've added a flowers at the bottom and jazzed up the bow with some stickles, the papers are from papermaina.
First Day
I've just started to go through the vast mountain of photo's I have gatherd over the years ready to scrap them. Here is the first one that I've done of my youngest daughter on her first day of nursery 10 years ago.
Excited
I'm really excited at the new range of stamps avaliable at Elyzbells.My favourite set has to be the cupcakes........ they look so delicouspop over and have a peep you've got nothing to loose.
Tilda at the wishing well
This card I made using my new stamp from Alota (the wishing well) and sitting fall tilda from Magnolia. I coloured the images with watercolours. I then added some glossy accents on the bucket to make it shine and some flowersoft to the ivy on the wishing well.
Edwin
Here is a card that I made using my cricut and the accent cartridge for the base and layering papers. The stamp was a gift from my good friend Sue along with the button mushroom. I have several Tildas but no Edwins until now.
All Boy
I've been trying to use this photograph for ages in my scrap book! Its of my darling husband taken 26 years ago, it was on of those taken in a photo booth which I scanned, cropped and enlarged on the computer. My daughters keep giggling.......... I wonder why???
Friday challange
I was given a challange to make a card using a particular layout found here and using the colours blue and brown.I looked through my stash and came up with this RAK'd image and my Granny's kitchen papers. The sentitment by Elyzbells is stamped in Vintage sepia.
Getting more creative
I wanted to make a special card for a special friend, so here I've used one of my favourite Elyzbells image and enhanced it by using my cricut to cut out the hearts and swirl, along with ribbons and gems. Looking at the results I think it will be used a lot more from now on........
Valentines
This is the card I made up at the last minute for my darling husband. I used a penny black image and papers from papermaina. I had bought a different stamp to use but unfortunately I misplaced it and still can't find it...... lol well at least I can use it next year.
