Nap Time

Hi all,

Finally back with a challenge card. I treated myself the other day to a couple of new stamps & papers from Trimcraft. The stamps were from the Pepper & Friends range and I got the Funky Vintage Papers. I have also had my eye on some Polychromos for ages and finally took the plunge and got me some off ebay (very good price too!!). So today I have had a little play with my new stuff, I stamped up my image and knew that I wanted to to cut it out in a circle. So when I came across the Papertake weekly challenge sketch it was perfect.

The image is called Nap Time, Papers are Funky Vintage both from the new trimcraft ranges. Flowers are Petaloo with Papermania Gem Brads, MS Branch Punch, Craftwork Cards Sentiment, Tiny gems are Papermania ,Burgandy Tulle & pearl pin from my shop.

A few cards

Finally I have a few cards to show you. I have managed to find a couple of hours to myself amongst all the chaos and came up with these. They are not for any challenges I just made them cause I wanted to & needed to, was getting major withdrawal symptoms.







Whilst sorting of my stuff, I came across this fab paper and embellishment pack which came free with a mag. So I decided to put it to good use at long last.
The images are Greetings Farm, Sugar Nellie & Messy Rabbit, flowers are Floral Doodles by petaloo and Papermania adhesive gems.

Finally here is a piccy of my little angel with her Nebuliser, she is such a star!!!!!.


As you can tell by her face, she is looking a little unwell at the moment, its so sad to see her so different from her normal self.

Sugar Bowl Sketch

There is a fabulous sketch over at the Sugar Bowl this week with an amazing prize of the new collection of 8 Diane Dudda stamps soon to be released. You also have to include Blue & Green on your card to be in with a chance of winning, well I had these papers left out from the last card I had made and they were prefect for the challenge. I also coloured the image in with my PM's following the tutorial over on Joey's blog and I have to say am very pleased with the results, I seem to be getting a lot better with my shading.

The papers are DCWV Nannas Kitchen, Gorjuss Girl image from Sugar Nellie, Petaloo flowers, Dovecraft ribbon, Papermania adhesive shimmer dots and the sentiment is my own computer generated design.

Something a bit different & Demo Day

Well its a bit different for me anyway, I have made a card without a stamped image on!!!!. Now normally I love my images and dont feel like a card is complete without one, However we are off to my friend's 40th party tonight and I decided I wanted to do something a little different. I made one of those cards wraps that you then put a little tag insert inside, and obviously i wanted the number to be the main focal really, It also gave me a chance to use of of massive petaloo flowers.
I have also decided to enter it into this weeks Creative Inspirations challenge which is to use 4 different papers on your creation.

The papers are from DCWV Nannas Kitchen stack, Petaloo flowers with Dovecraft fancy brad, Craftwork Cards oval sentiment & ribbon from stash. The 40 was cut out using Colour My World Mckenzine alpha & number template pack.

Now for all you Prima Craft customers, the Colour My world Templates are one of the items I will be demoing at our Demo Day along with the Petaloo Flowers & the LLB range on Saturday 27th June, so pop the date in your diary and come and see me for some great ideas and inspiration.

Sugar Bowl Sketch

This 4th and final card for tonight has been made following the fabby sketch over on the Sugar Bowl Challenge, and must include buttons and a sugar nellie image (obviously). I have made the card for my sister-in-law this time off the kids, can you see a theme with the images - yes my SIL loves to shop (we have so much in common lol!!!!!!). I have added a little extra piece to the sketch cause I needed to add a sentiment (hope this is ok) and have popped 2 little square buttons on the top LH side.



The image is Shopaholic from Sugar Nellie, papers are Basic Grey and are a mixture of Lime Rickey & Whisteria, Papermania pearl gems & dotty brad, Flower is a mixture of Poppicrafts & Petaloo Mullberry Street, Computer generated sentiment.
