Love Birds

Good Morning,

Back to work this morning after a week off  :(  It's always hard going back but ok once I get there.

I have scheduled this post to let you know there's a new challenge starting over at 

Dream Valley

we have the fabby Robyns Fetish sponsoring the challenge and they kindly gave the DT some images to use, I chose Love Birds aren't they just so cute.

Have you guessed what the theme is?

I print and cut the image on my Cameo and coloured it in with markers and a touch of chalk. The backing paper is from a LOTV paper pad called heartfelt which has sadly been discontinued. The heart border has been cut using a MB die and 3 of the hearts  waste has been pieced back in . The sentiment was printed from a Do Crafts CD. A doily with inked edges, ribbon and a gem was added for the finishing touch.

This week's theme, if you haven't already guessed is:

Valentines

Hop on over to the main challenge blog to see the super work of the talented DT

Good Morning,

The BBQ last weekend did go ahead although the weather was not hot.

While everyone was round I got out the laptop and booked a theatre trip for Me and my Sister.

Sunday Sketch & Stamp #177

Good Morning,

I hope the weather is a bit warmer today. Yesterday was so chilly, I couldn't get warm all day. I ended up going to lay in bed to watch X Factor to defrost under my quilt.

 

Sunday Sketch & Stamp has a new challenge starting today with Team 2.
Here is this week's sketch designed by Anne Marie which I rotated



 

 

Here's my card:

Sunday Sketch & Stamp #171

Good Morning,

Hopefully Mr Blogger has posted this scheduled post for me as I'm in hospital at the moment.
Can't wait to get home, get out my laptop and come see what you've all been up to.

Today is the start of a new challenge over at Sunday Sketch & Stamp
I have designed the sketch & Marie is hosting the challenge

 

This week we are sponsored by Robyn's Fetish

 

Here's my card:

 



 

I have used English tea cup from this week's sponsor which I printed off 3 times & coloured with Copics & chalks. I used a craft knife and cut a slit round the rim of the bottom 2 teacups & cut off the saucer from the top 2 cups. I then stacked the cups up and hung the sentiment tag to the handle of the centre cup. I used white paper embossed with the dainty dots folder from spellbinders as a backing paper, then added a circle of polka dot paper mounted onto a fancy spellbinder mat which was added to the card. Ribbon was then added before adding the teacups.

 

Hop on over to the main challenge blog to see what my teamies have come up with.

 

Enjoy The Bank Holiday!

Sunday Sketch & Stamp #134

Good Morning,

A very windy one it is here in Northampton this Sunday morning!

It also looks like more rain is on it's way.

There's a new challenge starting today over @ Sunday Sketch & Stamp

This is the card I have made:

following Anne-Marie's super sketch which I have rotated

I have used  Bella Da Snowlady image from this week's sponsor Robyn's Fetish

I have used Pro's & Spec's & a touch of chalk to colour in the image. What Christmas image would be complete without a bit of sparkle? So I have added a bit of glamour dust to the hat

The sentiment was heat embossed with brass WOW powder onto the same paper used for all the mats. This was then cut out by hand.

The papers are from a HOTP pad I have had for years but never used
