Something Else on Saturday #276 Featuring Garden Wedding from Tiddly Inks

Good morning! It has been absolutely ages since I have done any blogging other than DT posts, so I think it's time I got back into the swing of it, don't you?!

For today's card, I have made a wedding card for one of my work colleagues to give to her friend and she just loved it. The request was lots of purple, lilac and green and a bit OTT! I think this one fit the bill quite nicely!

Scene It Sunday #181 Featuring Winnie Furry Friends from Polkadoodles

Good afternoon and apologies that today's card is late. I just didn't have enough time last weekend to finish my colouring for this card and didn't have time during the week with two parents evenings to do as well. I was completely shattered!

Anyway onto today's card...I have combined two of Polkadoodles digi stamps to make this scene - Winnie Furry Friends and Country Road Scene Background. I then added a sentiment and a few Easter eggs dies to make it into an Easter card.

Hearts Quest Fantasy Challenge #3 & Something Else on Saturday #241 Featuring Tottie Leprechaun from Faery Ink

Good morning and welcome to today's post. Today is the start of this month's new challenge at the Hearts Quest Fantasy Challenge blog and this month's optional theme is to use a leprechaun on your card or project. I have to admit I very rarely use leprechauns, maybe because I don't actually make many good luck cards, but this old cutie from Faery Ink was just what I needed! So glad to have had her in my stack of digi stamp files! 

I went for a traditional green and yellow colour combo on my leprechaun with gorgeous red hair and just love how she came out. Might use these colours again on a different image to see how I like them then!

The Paper Shelter Challenge #580 - Anything But A Square

Good morning and welcome to my DT post for the new challenge from The Paper Shelter. This week our challenge is for you to make a project that is any shape EXCEPT a square! Pretty easy right with so many other shapes to choose from!

I decided to go for a circular shaped card, which I don't actually make too often This die was the perfect size and even stands up without rolling to the side too! I used the Adorable Cowgirl digi stamp and paired her up with some cowboy/girl themed sentiment from my stash as well. I didn't think this card needed much more and there wasn't really enough room for any embellishments, so I left it as it is and really love it!

The Paper Shelter Challenge #550 - Modes of Transport

Good morning and welcome to my DT post for the new challenge from The Paper Shelter. This week our challenge is another fun one- modes of transport, so think cars, trains, bikes, planes, boats and so on!

For my card, I have used the cute Lil' Cowboy digi stamp and added a sunset scene behind him as he is riding his cute horse through the fields! I used some of my old Waltzing Mouse stamps for the cactus background and sentiment. I'm not a particular fan of cowboys or Western movies as such, but seem to have built up a bit of a cowboy stamp collection, so these came in really handy!

Scene It Sunday #40 Featuring Bunny Play by LeAnn's World 101

Good morning everyone and welcome to this week's Scene It Sunday post. Today I am sharing an image from one of the design teams I am on - LeAnn's World 101 - who are also sharing this image through the Kit and Clowder Facebook group. This cutie is Bunny Play and a great image for an Easter card.

To step away from all the pastel colours of my other Easter cards, I have used some brighter ones, but to be honest, I do prefer the pastel colours for Easter and Spring cards, although I don't actually have much in the way of pastel patterned papers! Need to fix that and buy some I guess!

For my card I chose to use the cute Peaceful Easter digi as I need to make a few Easter cards to hand out at work. I don't really send Easter cards, but working in a school the 2 week Easter holidays are a much welcomed break, so I tend to give out a bag of mini chocolate eggs (this year I've picked Galaxy Indulgence ones!) and add a card to go with them too.

Good morning everyone and welcome to my DT inspiration post for LeAnn's World 101 for January. Today I have chosen to use the cute Aaryn for a fun teenage boy themed card as I always need loads of these and never have ever already made! 

I made the brick wall using my stencil from Dutch Doobadoo and my new blending brushes which were fabulous to use! So much nicer and easier to get a depth of colour than the blending tools I have been using.

The Paper Shelter Challenge #420 Flowers of spring

Good morning and welcome to my DT post for the new challenge from The Paper Shelter. This week our challenge is called Flowers of Spring, so we want to see lots of pretty flowers on your card, whether as an image or as embellishments or even on patterned papers.

I used the gorgeous Tulips for my card, which I think are the perfect flowers for spring, along with daffodils of course. Unfortunately I didn't have any yellow tulips paper flowers to add to my card, so I used my flowers from PetalLu instead.

Beautiful Bride

I have gotten so behind in sharing my cards on here and on my Facebook page! No excuse really other than work has been really busy with it being the end of year - loads more paperwork at the end of the school year - and my laptop power pack blew up, literally with sparks all over, so it was out of action for a few days until I could get a new one delivered. I tell you these are not cheap - almost £100 for one from Dell! Luckily the other one was only 2 months old, so I will get a refund on that one.

Anyway here is a card I made for the Cute As A Button June Progressive Challenge (yep it's that late!), but I never got round to posting it in time for the challenge. My TA is getting married this summer (and is leaving as her husband to be has got a new job in Reading), so I made her this huge card for everyone to sign. It certainly was a labour of love and with the box, it took me 5 hours in total! So much trial and error for the size of the card and box, but it did come out pretty in the end!

And here's the lid - a lot plainer than the actual card, but I had run out of steam by the time I got to this part!

Something Else on Saturday #4 with St Patty's Day Parade from Cute As A Button Stamps

Good morning and welcome to my latest Something Else on Saturday post. This week I am sharing this month's Facebook Progressive project for Cute As A Button with the cute St. Patty's Day Parade digi stamp.

I'm not Irish, not do I celebrate St. Patrick's Day but I do love the combo of green and orange on this one. I added some Crystal Drops randomly on this one and love these for little embellishments! Think these are my new crafty loves at the minute and just bought another load of bottles in the Tonic sale!

Fantasy Friday #29 Featuring Princess Emma with Unicorn from The Paper Nest Dolls

Good morning and welcome to this week's Fantasy Friday post. This week I am sharing this cute image from The Paper Nest Dolls, Princess Emma with Unicorn. I coloured her up a while ago in blue and yellow but wasn't overly keen on how it came out to be honest, so redid it for this post in one of my favourite combos again,, pink and aqua and much prefer this version.

I used the fabulous Polka Dot Pals Lakyn for this card and created a night time scene using my new Distress Oxides, although the colours weren't as dark as I had hoped, so I guess I'll have to buy some more! (Any excuse huh?!)
