Raining Roses - Wild Rose Studio

 

Hiya everyone, 

Today I have one of my Wild Rose studio DT samples which I'm using as my Mid-way reminder creation for the A little bit crafty  "Anything goes" challenge.  There are some amazing prizes up for grabs from our fab sponsors.  To check out the midway reminder post to see the other DT creations please click here.  If you want to go to the original challenge post to enter then please click here or the Current challenge here button to your right!

Anyhoo, back to my card - the stamp is called "Raining roses" which has been coloured in with my promarkers.  I normally do my bears lighter in colour so I did them darker for a change although I'm not sure I really like it! Lol  

The papers are also from Wild Rose Studio and are from the "Always and forever" stack which is soooo lovely!  I didn't use much else apart from my Memory box "Cherish" border die which I love - the hearts in the top right corner are the bits that fell out!  I also used my quickutz fancy corner which I am overjoyed to have found after losing it for almost 12 months in my mess of a craft room!

  

 I do hope that you come and join us at the "A little bit crafty" Challenge!

Hugs

It's spring at the House Mouse and Friends

 

Hiya everyone, 

Today's a brand new SPRING challenge over at the House Mouse and Friends Monday challenge.  My card is a quickie I made with the Joanna Sheen House Mouse CD rom that comes with the project book.  

I had intentions of making a more elaborate card yesterday but as it was such I nice day me and the hubby took our wee ones to the Stanley Park  so we fed ducks and squirrels as well as going on all the swings and slides.  We also put Tayla's trike together that we bought her for Christmas so we were wheeling her around there for hours.  Afterwards we went to MacDonalds which is something we very rarely do - it was only our 2nd time taking Tayla but she seems to like it for a change.

We have lots of fab sponsors for this challenge which are:-

Spring into spring!

Hiya everyone, 

We have  a brand new challenge over at the Joanna Sheen Challenge blog.  The theme this time is

Spring into spring!

I have used an adorable little House Mouse stamp set called ? which you can get here.  I coloured the image in with my promarkers and added glossy accents to the raindrops although you can't really tell from the piccie.  The papers are from a First Edition set called "Up and away"

The flowers are from a huge bag of daffodils that I bought at a car boot sale years ago that cost me about 50p.  I just snipped the back off and use a yellow brad to put the back together.  They are actually white and yellow so I coloured the main bit in with a yellow promarker to match the card better.  I think the sentiment was also a wooden car boot bargain.

If you are after the "A little bit crafty" challenge then you can just click the current challenge here button on your right to go straight to it.

Don't forget to check back tomorrow for my House Mouse & Friends Monday Challenge DT card.

The Locomotion

 

 

Hiya everyone, 

Another La Pashe sample to share with you today that I made a while ago from the Double Decoupage range - this one's called "The Locomotion".  2 decoupage images on 2 sheets for 69p per sheet.  The papers I used were from a travel themed paperstack that was a magazine freebie.

I find there are some fab male images which is good as men are so hard to make for aren't they?

If you are wanting the "A little bit crafty" challenge please click the "Current challenge here" button on the top right hand side of the sidebar and it will take you straight to it!

I've got a busy week lined up as there's a new challenge starting on Sunday over at the  Joanna Sheen challenge and a new House Mouse and Friends challenge on Monday!  I've also got several magazine bits and bobs on the go too!

See you all shortly!
