Shabby tea room meets case study

OOOhh it’s good to be back I just have some much needed blog hopping to do! I decided to play along at The shabby tea room and also over at case study.

I haven’t joined in over at case study before. I managed to combine both the challenges into one for my creation. It’s quite a simple creation featuring only stamping.

Theres a lil bit of stitching going on but nothing else…no ribbon…no bling…no liquid pearls….hmmm maybe i lost the plot haha!

As my time is quite limited now i have decided to just select a couple of challenges which i will regularly enter, and the shabby tea room and case study are on that list

I like the way this card turned out in the end, quick,simple and clean looking (loving a bit of the old ‘case’ing)

products used:

Plaid stamp – Waltzing mouse

Butterfly stamp & sentiment stamp – papertrey

A looooong time no see!

It’ been quite a while since i last blogged and quite a while since i did anything at all crafty. I started working full time which didnt leave me much time to spare. I’m now still working full time doing night shifts ,but i’ve cleared out me craft room (It was being used for storage) and now i plan on going in there at least once a week to do some crafting, i’ve really missed it. I’m back with a creation for The Shabby tea room . Their challenge is ‘pennant party’ You must include a pennant/ banner on your creation and use the colours from the inspiration pic. Iam very rusty at the crafting as this is the first creation i have made for almost 5 months!!! I created a gift bag and card for the challenge, these were made for one of Chloe’s school friends for her birthday.

The banner stamps  are from waltzing mouse and the butterfly dies and stamps are from papertrey.

I shall be back with a giveaway in a couple of days as i was asked to review some scrapbooking software and have been given an extra one to give away on my blog

Thanks for looking…..it’s good to be back

Let it snow….

…Let it snow….let it snow!!! It may as well be snowing, it’s freezing today (the heatwave didn’t last long then lol The weather has gone completely bonkers !!!

There’s a new challenge over at LILI OF THE VALLEY, they must be feeling the chill as their theme this week is ‘LET IT SNOW’ . Iam still on with me Christmas cards and i wanted some that weren’t OTT that you could send to male or female and here is what i came up with.

I felt that this image went very easily with the simple approach, as there is plenty to look at on the image itself, so a simple card would go with it nicely I love this cute little image. I decorated the inside too. The sentiment inside, at the bottom reads ‘Let it snow’

I coloured the image in with prisma pencils. In my haste to get it all ‘sparkled’ up, i only went and forgot to colour the little star on the bird house!!!! I only just realised now that i have gone to post this

The paper used is basic grey. The sentiment is a chipbord sticker (Not sure who by,sorry)

Why not POP over to see what the DT girlies have created for your inspiration!

I’m also going to enter this card into the challenge over at Papertake Weekly who are celebrating their 4th birthday!! as their challenge is ‘anything goes’ this week.

Things are a changing

…over at ALLTHAT SCRAPS that is…

The challenges are now monthly, the first wednesday of each month. The other 3 weeks out of the month there will just be lots of eye candy for you to see on the challenge blog

Well today is the first wednesday in october which means it’s the start of a new challenge, and this challenge is ‘ANYTHING GOES’ easy peesy lemon squeezy, right? I’m still in holiday mode…haha I think i will be for the rest of the year. Iam loving these cutie CC designs Halloween stamps. Having never had halloween stamps to play with before , iam loving it…haha

Here is what i have created to inspire you.

I created a few more li’l bits n bobs for the Chloe monster. I made  a halloween card. Isn’t that sentiment with the little spider and bat FAB! The Chloe monster hates spiders so this is just perfect for her…heheheh! I have this ‘thing’ for stitching and decorating the insides of cards (It just sorta happens..lol) I forgot to show thie inside of this card as it has Vlad stamped inside as well as the ‘Have a witching good time’ sentiment.

 

I made this double image into just a picture, just for decoration. I know that Chloe will put it in her room on halloween (or as soon as i let her have it) I used the ‘Hilda & Vlad’ stamp (I have chopped Vlad off…lol, that way i can use him when and where i want ) and i also used ‘Laugh Lines’I thought that these 2 stamps looked really well together, like two little friends who are about to go out trick or treating.

Here you can see the little stand that i made and attached to the back of me picture.

…last but not least . two little treat container ideas. 1 is a little pillow box treat ouch. The other is an old spice jar.(sorry about the slightly blurry pic)

The images have been coloured with prisma pencils except the black parts which were coloured with a spectrum noir pen.

Why not POP over and have a looksie at what the other dt girlies have created for your inspiration! The winner of this challenge will win themselves 3 rubber stamps!!!
