Little Miss Muffet Stamps Challenge #195 Anything Goes

Good morning! I am hoping that this post goes live while I am away spelunking in the Peak District (exploring caves to you and me!) I didn't realise there were so many caves to explore up here, so we're spending a week here going through heaps of them. Stuff like this fascinates me and one of the ones we're visiting has an underground boat ride through some old flooded mines. Hope I don't get too claustrophobic down there!

Anyway on to my card for this week's Anything Goes challenge from Little Miss Muffet Stamps. I used the gorgeous Jr Hatter Cherry for my card along with the reveal wheel from Lawn Fawn which I have been dying to use!

I also took photos of the other sentiments on the wheel...

The super sentiment didn't work as well as you can see the letters from the words next to it, but as a spinning sentiment is works ok I guess.

Kit & Clowder Classes Catch Up

I am currently on my 6 week summer holiday and boy has the past 2 weeks flown by! I spent a lot of the first week shopping and colouring! This past week I haven't had as much time to sit and colour or craft and definitely haven't had the chase to blog anything until Friday!

Anyways...here's some of my colouring that I did for some of the Kit & Clowder classes that I pay for every month, but hardly ever get round to doing! Naughty naughty me! Some of these were done a while ago (probably in my last holiday back in May), but I haven't blogged them so thought I would just add them all here!

This first one is from February 2018's class... Flowers are not my thing at all, but I really like the shine on these ones!

This one is from March 2018. Really pleased with this all except the sky which I could not get to blend very well, but still looks ok, I think.

The next one is from April 2018's class. Really pleased with this one, even the mice's fur, which I always struggle with! 

And finally this one is from the members' free class For The Boys. Not overly happy with the sleeves on the shirt - I think they need to be darker, but overall really liked doing this one. 

And that's all from me for this post folks! Thanks for stopping by! 

Little Miss Muffet Stamps Inspiration Post - Polka Dot Pals Petunia

Good morning! Apologies that this post is late this week, but I have had a personal problem going on this week and I didn't have any crafting time during the week as I had planned originally, but I am now catching up on everything!

For this week's inspiration post for Little Miss Muffet Stamps, I have used the adorable Polka Dot Pals Petunia for this card, using some of my favourite colours to colour her up! I couldn't find a sentiment in my huge pile of stamps that had this sentiment (I am sure I have one somewhere though!), so I used an alphabet stamp to spell it out instead and actual think I prefer it this way!

Fantasy Fridays #1 Blanche the Butterfly

Good evening! As I love all things fantasy related I have decided to attempt to do a weekly post using some of the fantasy stamps that i own. Now that I have dropped some of the design teams I was on I have a bit more free crafting time, so I can finally make use of them all rather than sitting unopened in their packets!

This week I have made a birthday card for my very best friend Michele, who loves all things purple. She has now received this card, so I can show it without worrying about her seeing it! I added lots of sparkle to this one with my Stickles and used some of the butterflies from the border punch as little accents in the corners too.

It's not the best photo as I was in a rush to take it before heading out to meet the birthday girl for a coffee and cake date!

Little Miss Muffet Stamps Challenge #194 Anything Goes

Good morning and welcome to my DT post for the new challenge from Little Miss Muffet Stamps. As always our challenge this fortnight is an Anything Goes one and although you don't have to use a stamp from Little Miss Muffet Stamps to enter, we sure do love it when you do!

I used the newly released Polka Dot Pals Kaari for my card and decided to colour her up in a rainbow. Unfortunately I didn't have any rainbow coloured papers in the same colours, but I thought these went well enough to continue the rainbow and sparkle theme!

For once I made a really CAS card (well CAS for me!) as I wanted her to take the centre stage!

Less Mondays, More Summer

Good morning! I needed to make a couple of male cards for one of my TAs and my Key Stage leader as thank yous at work before we broke up for the summer holidays. I had already coloured all these dolphins and thought I could get away with these being suitable for a man! This sentiment was perfect as well for those of us in the teaching profession as we break up for our 6 week summer holiday this Friday and I cannot wait. I am absolutely shattered!

The Paper Shelter Challenge #348 Ribbon, Lace or Twine

Good morning and welcome to my latest post for the new challenge from The Paper Shelter. This week our challenge is for you to use ribbon, lace or twine on your project.

I used the gorgeous newly released Little Mermaid on Vacation! image. I just love this digi stamp and added some freehand waves around here for the sea. This was the first time I had done this technique and love how it came out. I added some white chalk pen to the very tops of the waves as well to give it a bit of movement! So happy with how this one came out!
