The Paper Shelter Challenge #328 Use Metal

Good Morning and welcome to my post for the new challenge from The Paper Shelter. This week our challenge is for you to use metal somewhere on your project.

I used the gorgeous 99 Messages, 3 Chats image and added some brads in the corner and a metal swirl clip thing to hold the sentiment. I have had these for donkeys years and no idea where they came from, but I still hardly use them. I have silver and gold ones and thought the gold went really well with this colour combo even though gold is not a colour I use very often.

Nurse Marci Says Get Well Soon

My very close friend Jayne is very very ill at the moment and I am going to see her on Thursday as she finally feels up to having visitors after being ill for almost 3 weeks with pneumonia. I just had to make her a get well soon card using the adorable Nurse Marci from La-La Land Crafts. Isn't she just adorable?!

I don't have any dies for get well cards and I couldn't be bothered to dig my cameo out and faff around with that for a couple of little ones, so I made a clipboard using one of my dies instead.

Ching-Chou Kuik Inspiration Post - Free Spring

Good afternoon and welcome to my inspiration post for Ching-Chou Kuik today. Huge apologies that my card is so late in the day! I honestly thought I had created this card and written my blogpost and when I checked in my planner this morning, the image was still in there uncoloured! Argh! I am usually very organised, but being on holiday last week meant I was not! Just glad today is Saturday and I can leave the school work until tomorrow! 

Anyway on to my card. I used the gorgeous Free Spring for the week's inspiration and used some new mermaid themed patterned papers as inspiration for the colour combo as well.

Make A Splash!

Good morning and welcome to another post from me. I was on my half term holiday last week and although my other half was very poorly I had a very relaxing week off. I spent a lot of time colouring, crafting, playing WoW (World of Warcraft for those who don't know what that is) and sorting out my clothes and shoes in the second bedroom! I also managed to squeeze a fair bit of swimming time in too, which I haven't been able to do for a couple of weeks for various reasons.

Anyway....this is one card I made using some stamps I coloured up for the 30 day colouring challenge, which I managed 18 days of this time! I used my new Distress Oxide inks for the sea on this one and sprayed them lightly with water to activate the ink (or whatever you call it). Although the effect is subtle, I really liked it. Definitely going to be buying more of these and learn more about what I can do with them!

And my bubbles were made with my new Nuvo Glitter Drops - I now know why everyone raves about these! These are fabulous and the dots stayed in perfect bubble shapes too! Much better than other glitter glues I have tried!

Recipe:

Stamps: Audrina Make A Splash from Stamp Anniething, Year Six from Lawn Fawn

Ching-Chou Kuik Inspiration Post - Fading Hearts

Good morning and welcome to my inspiration post for Ching-Chou Kuik today. I decided to use the gorgeous Fading Hearts image this week from the Valentine Love Fairy set and as I am trying to use up some old stash (to try and make some space but I think it will take me a very very very long time to do that!), I used some older patterned papers from Lili of the Valley's NitWit Collections from when they used to sell them years ago!

I love the softer colours in this collection and have also found that NitWits sell these papers as a digital download too, so I might have to buy those for when I need to add more to this paper pad!

Little Miss Muffet Stamps Guest Designer Post

A little while ago I was invited to be a guest designer for the Little Miss Muffet Stamps Challenge blog and of course I said yes! Their stamps are just adorable and I love the Polka Dot Pals images. I chose to use the newly released sweet Jacinda and coloured her up using one of my favourite colour combos - red, aqua and brown.

I also used the Polka Dot Pals Add On Faces to add some more features to her face as my drawing skills are not that great! Love this addition to these images as you can give them all sorts of different facial expressions.

I thought the sentiment went really well with this image as she looks like she is making a big gesture with her hands there!

The Paper Shelter Challenge #326 - Decorate It

Good Morning and welcome to my DT post for the new challenge from The Paper Shelter. This week our challenge is called Decorate It, so we would love to see you add lots of embellishments and layers to your project.

I used the adorable Pixie Caramel Macchiato and went for a green and dark brown combo with a touch of pink. Unfortunately I coloured the image before thinking about what papers I had to go with it, so had to spend ages finding some and I do think these my country style papers work well!

I added lots of layers, which is my usual style anyway, along with some extra stamped images as embellishments, some ribbon and some solid colour gems, which I think are my new favourite embellies!

Love Ya Berry Best Friend

Good afternoon! I thought I would share with you all a card I made this morning using my new Sweet Friends stamp set and dies from Lawn Fawn. I have made this for my "berry" best friend Michele, who loves anything and everything purple, so it just had to be in her favourite colour as well.

I had lots of fun playing around with these cute little stamps and trying out faces and the arms and legs as well. I attempted to create a three toned background for the images and sentiments as well using three different inks and I love the blend of colours too.

Ching-Chou Kuik February 2018 Challenge - All You Need Is Love

Good Morning and welcome to my DT post for this month's challenge from the Ching-Chou Kuik Inspiration and Challenge blog. This month our challenge is the seasonal All You need Is Love challenge so think valentine's, hearts, roses, romance etc.

I chose to use the gorgeous Red Hearts stamp from the Valentine Love Fairy Set. I went for a red and black combo initially and then decided that the sky couldn't be grey as well as it would all just blend into one if I did so chose to make a blue night sky and I think the image really pops against that blue.

Faery Ink Tomte Gnome Butterflies

Good Morning and welcome to another DT post from me for Faery Ink. This fortnight I am sharing with you one of the adorable Tomte Gnomes that Amanda created last month. I think these are just such an adorable character!

I used the Butterflies Gnome, which you can find here or you can buy as part of the Tomte Gnome digi bundle here. As he is part of the Spring bundle, I thought I would make a Spring themed card and coloured him up outside in the garden enjoying the bright blue skies!

Polkadoodles Challenge Week 5 Anything Goes

Good Morning and welcome to my DT post for the new challenge this week from Polkadoodles. This week, as always, the challenge is an anything goes challenge, so what are you waiting for?

I chose to use the adorable marriage proposal image from the Work and Play 9 Love and Kisses Collection. I also used the patterned papers, sentiment, bow, champagne glasses and engagement ring images from the same collection. This collection is just huge and has so much in it that I think every possible occasion involving love and marriage would be covered and you would never make the same project twice!
