Something Else on Saturday #198 Featuring Delish from Penny Black

Good morning and welcome to this week's Something Else on Saturday post. This week I have dug out a stamp that I bought ages and ages ago and have never used. Once upon a time I used to use Penny Black stamps a lot and have loads of the wood mounted ones somewhere, but I haven't used one in so long! I thought these cute little fairy bears were just adorable though!

I used one of my favourite paper packs from Lili of the Valley/NitWit Collections, Country Meadow, as well, but I'm getting low on this now! And that ribbon is just gorgeous, but one I don't use very often either! You know, it's fun finding old stuff in my craft stash that I had forgotten about!

Conie Fong Facebook Challenge - Use Patterned Papers

Good Morning and welcome to my DT post for the new challenge in the Conie Fong Facebook group. This month our challenge is for you to use patterned papers on your card or project - another easy one right?! I actually find it harder to NOT use any patterned papers, probably because I have so much of the stuff LOL

Anyway I use the adorable Bella with Rose for my card and used one of my Dutch Doobadoo card art templates for the card base shape. I love using these templates for different shaped cards and I am building up quite the collection of them now.

Conie Fong Facebook Challenge - Summer Colours

Good Morning and welcome to a new challenge at the Conie Fong Facebook Group. This month our challenge is to use summer colours on your project, using an image from the Conie Fong store, of course :D

I used the adorable Bella Sending You Smiles and used some kind of tropical inspired colours of peach, aqua, yellow, green and hot pink. I didn't want to go too bright and I love this softer colour combo. Quite low on the embellies too as I had no paper tulips in the matching colours so they looked a bit odd and I didn't think other flowers would work as well.

Good evening and welcome to my DT post for the new release from All Dressed Up. I chose to use the adorable Pitter Patter Raindrops for my card and decided to go with a yellow, blue and light brown combo, although I did manage to squeeze a touch of pink in there too! Quite a simple card from me this time, but the image was too cute to smother with lots of dies, so just used a few hearts and a couple of bows (an old die I have just rediscovered!) to jazz it up a touch.

The Outlawz Friday Colouring Challenge Colour Inspiration Week

Good Morning and welcome to my DT post for the new challenge over at The Outlawz Friday Colouring Challenge. This week we have a gorgeous Autumnal colour palette for you to use - I thought these colours would work great for a turkey themed Thanksgiving card, but as we don't celebrate it over here in the Uk, I have no images that would work at all.

Instead I went with a cute bear stamp that I found in my box of random stamps! This was also my first attempt at using distress inks without being in one of Tracy Payne's classes! I think he came out ok, but I think he needs a bit more texture on his fur.

I used the adorable Little Treasure for my card when I realised that I never have any baby cards in my stash. My boyfriend's friend and his wife have just had a baby boy and I didn't have anything on hand to give to them! Maybe because babies are NOT my thing at all, but I now have one ready to send to his friend and wife!

Fussy and Fancy Challenge #121 with Crafty Sentiments

Happy Friday! Only one week of my holiday left and guess where I'll be spending it?! Not at the beach, no....Not in the countryside, no....Not visiting some fantastic place, no....I'll be back at work. I have moved classrooms this year again so I now have to go in, reorganise all my stuff in cupboards (just hope they have been emptied!) and start to put up displays and tray labels for the kids etc. That will take me the best part of the week as well all the planning I have to do with my partner teacher as well.

Anyway it's time for another challenge from the Fussy and Fancy Challenge blog and this fortnight we have a great challenge for you, sponsored by Crafty Sentiments. Our challenge for you is pets, so included a pet of some kind on your project!

Here's a picture of my cat, Tallulah Zazzles (yes I let the boyfriend pick her name) and she's a gorgeous Blue British Shorthair and the stroppiest madam I have ever met! She snuffs her nose at any food that is not the posh food or cream - she will not eat wet food at all. She has about 6 different beds dotted around the house and her favourite place to sleep, believe it or not, is in the lid of a paper box that I brought home from work. It has completely fallen to bits and is taped up, but she will not sleep anywhere else - why? See, stroppy LOL

Enough about Tallulah and on to my card. I used the cute Friendship digi stamp from Crafty Sentiments for this card and went for a little more vintage feel for it.
