Pink Baby Congratulations!

Hi  peeps,

Well I saw a Pink Candy offer on the lovely Nanaseaside's blog and felt I just had to enter.

So here is my Pink Baby Card.

I have used the Cutie Pie decoupage sheet from Janet at Pink Gem together with a couple of the backing papers that come with the set.

Here are a couple of close ups.

And of course the gorgeous baby ribbon is from Crafty Ribbons

So I am entering this into the Candy challenge at Nanaseaside's blog and am keeping my fingers and toes all crossed!! :)

Inspired by Nature at OLL

Hello bloggy friends.
Well, it is Monday again and that means it is time for another fabulous challenge at Ooh La La Creations.  Firstly, please let me say a big thank you for all the entries that we had for the last challenge.  Please stop by the Ooh La La Challenge Blog to see who our lucky winners were.  Remember, there is no Random Org here, the Design Team take it in turns to pick their favourite and two runners up - so if you won it's because we loved your creation!!

**************

So, onto the next challenge and this time it is:
INSPIRED BY NATURE
This theme was chosen by Pauline and she has left a few words of encouragement and insight on the challenge blog so why not pop along and have a look what she has written.

Here is the card I made for this challenge:

This is one of the cards I made for the Create and Craft show to introduce the latest OLL CD which is called Faithful Friends.

I have used images and DP from the Rotty Puppy folder on the Faithful Friends CD which you can buy here.  The only thing I used which wasn't from the CD was the Best Wishes stamp which is a Clarity Stamp.

Don't you just love that cute little face??

Please remember to stop by the rest of the Design Team and see their fabulous creations (links on the DT tab at the top of this page).  They have all worked really hard to offer you some inspiration, so please remember to leave them some love if you pay a visit.

Happy Thursday morning to you lovely peeps!

Time once again for a new challenge at Crafty Ribbons.

Thanks for all your fabulous creations on our last challenge, you really are a crafty lot aren't you?

Please stop by the Crafty Ribbons Challenge blog and see if you were one of our handpicked top 3 or our Random Winner!

So, onto our new challenge.

This time the challenge is once again a firm favourite:

ANYTHING GOES WITH RIBBON

I thought I'd go for something completely different this time.

So here is my project for this challenge:

These little crocheted bootees were a free kit with my knitting magazine.

I have used some plain organza ribbon I have had for ages.

I might however, change it for some spotty organza ribbon available here

I had forgotten how much I enjoy crocheting and I really enjoyed making these.

Look out for some similar projects soon!! :)

Feature a Creature!!

Hi all,

Sorry I am a bit late this morning, busy couple of days behind me, still a couple of big jobs to finish off but am getting there slowly.

So another fortnight rolls off the calendar, rushing towards Christmas. So that must mean time for another challenge over at the Christmas Card Club.

This time it is Hazel's turn to choose the theme and she chose:

FEATURE A CREATURE.

So, should I use a real animal image or cutie?

Well, I decided to go with Cutie.

I have had this rubber stamp in my collection for simply ages but I love it to bits.

I used my Silhouette Cameo to cut the shapes and simply layered them onto some of that glorious paper from Nitwits at Lili of theValley.  This one is called Krafty Christmas.

The image is coloured with my Polychromo pencils and the little flowers/leaves combo is all from my stash.

The fabulous ribbon is of course from Crafty Ribbons.

Challenges:

CHNC - Anything Goes

Dream Valley Challenges - Animals

My time to Craft - Christmas in May

One Stop Craft - Anything Goes

Multifold challenge at Totally Tilda!

Hello all.

Well it's Sunday again and that means it is time for the new challenge over at Totally Tilda.

Please remember to hop on over to the Totally Tilda challenge blog and have a look to see if you were one of our lucky winners/Top 3.

Remember our winners and top three are chosen by Susie and the Design Team.

No random.org here! So if you won it's because we loved your creation.

************

Right on to the new challenge.

The theme for this fortnight's challenge is:

MORE THAN ONE FOLD

This time we are lucky to be sponsored by:

And the prize is a £10 voucher to use in their store.

**************

So here is my creation for this challenge:

I used a pop out card available at Whichcraft. If you haven't shopped there before you really should go have a look, they have some fabulous stuff.

So here is how I did the outside of the card:

The die cut is a Memory Box one which I added two different coloured inks to and placed them on to some Magnolia DP.  The two little butterflies are self adhesive and I've had them for ages.

The background has been done using Clarity Stamps small tree stamped in second and third generation ink to give the effect of distance.  I used the edge of one of the christmas tree stamps for the grass and bottle green adirondack ink with my sponges.

Tilda and my fence are coloured with my Polychromo pencils and I'm really pleased with how they came out.

I also added a Memory Box die cut Magnolia Tree.

So there you go folks, my more than one fold for this fortnight's challenge at Totally Tilda.

Now it's over to you, I just know there are going to be some stunners.

Don't forget to have a look at the rest of the DT creations, there are some absolutely brilliant projects this time.  I work with some very very talented girlies.

Have fun peeps.
