Bags of Wishes

Good Morning,

I thought I would share a card I made some time ago now using a cut file I designed on my Cameo

The papers were printed from a download from Sassy Designs called Bethany 

I colour picked the colour for the plain paper and used a white pen for the faux stitching

You Can Never Have Too Many!

Good Evening,

A quickie from me tonight!

Thought I would share a couple of handbag cards I made recently that I was quite pleased with.

Patterned paper - Annabel digi paper pack from Sassy designs

Contrast paper - I  colour picked (in Photoshop)from the patterned paper to print a sheet of card

Patterned paper - a fill in Silhouette studio

Contrast - Black card

Not much more to say.

Apart from have a good evening!

I told you it was going to be a quickie didn't I

Sunday Sketch & Stamp #211

Good Morning,
& what a lovely sunny one it is.

I am hosting this week's new challenge over at 

Sunday Sketch & Stamp

I need to let you know of a few changes to the challenge - instead of a weekly sketch we will be moving to a fortnightly challenge.

In addition we will be picking our "DT Top Three" favorite rather than having one winner selected by random.org

Here is my sketch:

Hope you likey!
If you do why not get crafting and join in this fortnights challenge, the more the merrier.
This is my interpretation: 

I had a rummage in my box of papers & found these super ones printed from the Chelsie didital paper pack from Sassy Designs & guess what, they have a sale on at the moment, well worth a look.

The doiley was cut on the silhouette it was free download & can be found here. Again well worth a look.
Both the image & the sentiment (plus mats) were printed and cut using the silhouette.
The image is from The Stamp Fairy & can be found here, they also have a sale on at the mo. I have used markers to colour in the image & added some glossy accents to the nose & some glamour dust to the stars.

Have a lovely day

Sunday Sketch & Stamp #210

 Good Afternoon, It should have been good morning but I am running late.

This is due to going away Thursday/Friday then being at a Church fair Saturday selling my bits. The weather was not kind to us so all the stalls were moved from the church yard to inside the church. Despite this the fair was very well attended and sales were OK!

Sunday Sketch & Stamp

has a new sketch for you to play with, compliments of me as Kathleen is having connection problems.

Here it is:

Hope you like it and will join in the challenge this week.

I was asked to make a card for my Son's partner for her Nephew who supports Everton. I used this brief along with this weeks sketch to make my DT card , what's the saying? Kill 2 birds with 1 stone!

I used a Meljens image which I coloured with markers. I printed off a Sassy Designs  paper in grey scale from the Harlow Digital Paper Pack. All layers were mounted onto black card and round the image I added a piece of bakers twine. The sentiment fish tails were designed and cut on the silhouette as were the stars.

Please do come and join in this weeks challenge, the more the merrier!

GDT Songbird Challenge

Good Morning,

I've had a crafting weekend with my Daughter Kaylee. She helped me get a batch of Christmas cards, gift tags & money wallets ready for the craft fair I'm doing next weekend.

Laura from Songbird Challenge asked me to do a GDT spot & of course I said YES.

The challenge theme is a song title and this week that is:

'Diamonds Are A Girls Best Friend' 

 For my card, I opted to use Excecutive Woman from this weeks sponsor The Paper Shelter She has been coloure in with Spectrum Noirs & a touch of chalk. This is the first time that I have coloured her up and I'm sure to colour her again she's so lovely to colour. 

I've used some digital papers from Sassy Designs  and some white paper that has been embossed with a spellbinder folder. I have embelished the card with cherry blossom flowers & leaves (both a memory box die), punched flowers & butterflies (cut on the silohette). All have had clear gems added for a bit of sparkle. 

I hope that I have given you a little bit of inspiration. You can find more beautiful creations on the challenge blog.

Have a good day

Sunday Sketch & Stamp #118

Good Morning,

It's time for a new challenge over @ Sunday Sketch & Stamp. This week the sketch has been designed by the lovely Mari.
But first I must say what a great day Team GB had yesterday, didn't they do well! I didn't , I was glued to the TV but my excuse is it's only for 2 weeks.

Well onto my card:
I have used an image from this weeks sponsor Sassy Studio Designs  - Chrissys Prom. I have used 'the out of the box' technique to cut out the image and paper pieced the dress, I have then used promarkers to colour her in. The papers are digi downloads from sassy designs - Elegance, I printed out a sheet which I used for the fancy spellbinders die cut behind the image and also to make the flowers, these were made by tearing a circle of paper into a spiral then rolled up using a quilling tool. The leaves were cut on the silhouette.

Hop on over and look at the wonderful creations team 2 have made to inspire you.

I'm looking forward to seeing what all you talented people out there create
