Saffire's Stamping

It will soon be Easter so even more of an excuse than normal to add chocolate to my diet! LOL Here's another Easter card from me using a cute digi from Di's Digi Downloads and some (very old now) papers from First Edition. I  also used my structure paste from Dutch Doobadoo for the first time for the clouds and I love how it makes them look almost fluffy!

I haven't done a Tiddly Inks challenge for a while so thought I would have a go this weekend now I'm on holiday for two weeks and can do my DT work during the week instead of at the weekend. Tiddly Inks challenge #153 is One for the Boys and I soon realised that I didn't have many of their boy digis, so had to go and rectify that with Christy's birthday discount code!


This card is also for  Kraftin' Kimmie's Wonderful Wednesday Challenge Anything Goes Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #303 to use stripes and dots

Good Morning and welcome to my post for the new Lacy Sunshine Challenge. This fortnight we are challenging you to use butterfly kisses and springtime wishes! Perfect for the warmer weather, don't you think?!

I was given the gorgeous Iris Flower Pot Pretties image to use for me card and as this range of Heather's stamps are one of my faves along with the Ethereal Enchantresses, I loved putting this one together. I really don't know my flowers very well, so had to hunt on the internet for the colours of the irises and found this gorgeous picture of purple and yellow irises so used that as my colour inspiration.


And here's my card...

I loved the new FaeryInk release a couple of weeks ago and bought myself a few of the digis and just had to use one of them for this month's challenge, Out Of This World. I used the gorgeous Arielle Moonbeam and kept to a soft pastel colour scheme so I could also join in the FaeryInk Facebook Challenge, which is to use pastels.

I managed to have a little play time today and do some card challenges that have been on my to do list for a while now! This card is for Alicia Bel's Challenge #5 Anything Goes or Candy Treats. As I got this image for my Top 3 win in the last challenge, I thought she would be perfect for this challenge.

I've had this pom-pom trim for a while now and had no real idea on how to use it, but liked the idea of using it as a banner!

Happy Saturday! It's time for the Sassy Studio Designs new releases teasers to finally be revealed! There is a fabulous blog hop going on and all of the designers and guest designers, myself included, have made some beautiful cards and projects to showcase all the fantastic new images that Lindsay has designed.

You should have arrived here from Greg's blog, but if you haven't and want to start at the beginning you can always pop on over to the Sassy Studio Designs blog and start from there.

I have used the beautiful Cinderella Portrait for my card - she is just stunning and I love all her beautiful ringlets! I just had to go for a pink colour scheme as well.

Good evening! And what a fabulous evening tonight is as I am now on holiday for a fortnight! I so need this break as this half term at school has been so incredibly busy, despite it being a week shorter than usual. That is because we have the same amount of work to do in 5 weeks that we would usually have 6 to do it in! We've had parents evenings, mentoring day, assessment week (so heaps of extra marking!), a poetry extravaganza performance and I've been on numerous courses! Busy busy busy!

Anyway tonight is the start of the new challenge over at the Art by MiRan Facebook group and as it is our second challenge of the month, it is our Anything Goes challenge. For this challenge, you can make anything you like, using any theme and image you like as long as it includes a stamp by Art by MiRan and that includes the stamps from Whimsy Stamps, Crafts & Me and Treasured Times too.

I chose to use the cuteMeowfor my card today which is completely not my style - I did a CAS card! I…

Good morning! I am posting today for the Sassy Studio Designs Flashback Friday event, in which an older, maybe more forgotten digi, is showcased to remind you of some of the fabulous digis that Lindsay's sells in the Sassy Studio Designs Store. This week the flashback digi is Maxi Skirt Momma 1, which was a really hard digi for me to use. (I just realised I used #2 instead of #1 but she is very similar; this one has a skirt on! Oops and no time to do another one!) Without going into much detail, I don't do babies or pregnancy, so struggled with what to do with this one. But I persevered and finally came up with something I was happy with.

My friend Natalie will soon be leaving work to have her second child which is going to be a boy (hopefully) and therefore I did this card in all blues and browns. I love this patterned paper from Lili of the Valley and it's perfect for baby cards as well as other general cards.

Anyway here she is...all ready to pop out that baby!
