MTME PP#26

Its’ a new pretty palette today over at MTME challenge

Today is also a day of remembrance as it is 10 years ago today when the dreadful attacks happened on the US. So many ,many people, men, woman and children lost their lives that day, so with that in mind we have chosen these colours for this weeks challenge.

I kept my card very simple. I used the FRAMED ELEGANCE stamp set for this challenge. My card is dedicated to all who lost their lives that day and the families that they leave behind.

ALL THAT SCRAPS CHALLENGE

It’s time for another challenge over at ALL THAT SCRAPS.

As it’s the beginning of a new month the challenge is ANYTHING GOES!!! So easy peasy lemon squeezy Smile right! hehe I decided to alter a notebook to make it into a recipe book, as i love these super cute images and i just needed to create a project with them…lol

Here is the front cover of the book. I used Swiss Pixie Pie Birgitta digi image . After i stuck the image to the front of the book i covered over the image with acetate, to try and protect it from splashes…lol

 

It was a ‘sinch’ adding in some pages to this book using the binder punchey thing from SU.

I’m not too sure if iam keeping this one or giving it away, so that’s how come there is no sentimet on the front or any sentiments or writing inside the book.

I just HAD to use Swiss Pixie Coffee Birgitta Digi Image in this book as well Smile

I think iam going to get a load more books and do some more as they were so simple using the punch instead of having to ‘dismantle’ the book. I do have a bind it all as well, but to be honest for what it costs for these hard backed notebooks it isn’t worth creating one from scratch. (Think i won’t buy anymore spotty books though…lol)

Papers are from prima – analee

The images were coloured with spectrum noir pens

LILI OF THE VALLEY SWEET LI’L CHRISTMAS CARD

Iam sooo into creating Christmas cards right now…lol I decided to join in with this weeks LILI OF THE VALLEY CHALLENGE which is this sketch.

lilisketch

These sort of sketches ‘scare me’ lol It’s the whole layer on layer thing. Iam ‘trying’ to get over me fear of these sort of sketches though…lol  I decided to join in with this one though so as to use me gorgeous Lili of the valley stamp.

Today was my gorgeous li’l Chloe monsters 1st day of ‘BIG’ school.

She still seems just too little to be at big school, she isn’t even 5 until January. For the next 2 weeks she goes from 8.50am until 1.20pm, then after 2 weeks she will be going from 8.50am until 3.20 pm. She had her 1st ever school dinner today and when she came home she was so pleased with herself because she managed to carry her own dinner tray without spilling any food Smile

………..So while she was at school i decided to make a Christmas card for her using the lili of the valley sketch. Here is what i made

I love the way that this turned out in the end. Iam LOVIN this colour combo and can see me using it a LOT! The image has been coloured using prisma pencils. It’s the 1st time i’ve used that bluey/turqoisey coloured pencil and i LOVE  it. The wooden snowflake is smothered in glitter but the pic doesn’t show just how sparkly this is. The papers are a mixture of basic grey/bo bunny and papermania. The ribbon and button from stash (coloured button with copics)

Over at the LET’S CRAFT AND CREATE challenge blog they are celebrating their 1st Birthday (I can’t believe that it has been a year already) They want you too re-visit a previous challenge, so i have gone for #11 – A stitch in time/ #19 –Sew Lovely/ #8 – It’s Christmas and #2 – Cute.
