Wild rose studio "Kitty with cake"

Hiya everyone,

Tayla's party went really well and she was spoilt rotten for both her actual birthday on the thursday and at her party yesterday.  Only a few more weeks and she'll get spoilt all over again!  I promised I'd share with you the card I made for her.  I decided to use this Wild Rose Studio stamp as she loves cats and I used some papercellar papers that my mum in law gave me a couple of weeks ago.  This range of stamps are definately in my favourites list.  I'm not so bothered about the people ones but love the cute animals.  I know everybody seems obsessed with Tilda but I'd rather have some cute little critters any day! 

I have stamped the image several times and coloured it with my promarkers layering it up as I thought she would find it more interesting.  I also made it into an easel card as I'd not made one for a while.  This is the first time I have used the oval snellie nellen oval die and the star MS border punch. The big number one I cut out by hand as I couldn't be bothered digging out my cricut which is unboxed but still in the spare room that is full of stuff to go in the loft.  We have the loft ladder and are just waiting for the guy to come back and fit it.  Once that's done we can board the loft and them hide all the stuff we can't bear to throw away up there! 

Don't forget the new Joanna Sheen Challenge Blog is now up and running with the first challenge being "Christmas wishes" - to have a looky go to here.  In addition to the challenge I will be posting a daily talent spot from the entries so far with a piccie and a link back to the persons blog.  It seems to be popular so far and I have had some nice feedback.  It only takes me a few minutes to do but I think it will really make someones day if their card is posted!

Just inklined Mens Digi sheet DT sample

Hiya everyone,

As you all know I have been mad busy recently and I can now share these cards I made as they have already been shown on Create and Craft TV.  They are new sheets by Just Inklined and are 4 digital black and white images printed onto smooth white card making them ideal for promarkers/copics/spectrum noirs.  They are also ideal if you like colouring but aren't a big fan of stamping.  They are 59p each for the sheet with 4 images which is great value for money!  Check them out as there are loads of designs!

This card has been made from a sheet of 4 images of planes which is available here although I opted for the image of a hurricane which is what my dad told me it was.  I coloured the image with my promarkers and some of the papers are from a fabulous downloadable set called aviator which is available from scrap matters here.  The off white, red and blue shabby papers are from a freebie Summer Driggs kit called freedom which is available here.   I made a union jack out of the red, white and blue papers and printed out a "your country needs you" posters that I found on google.  The air mail logo is also from the aviator set as is the postmark backround paper.  It makes an ideal mens card which is why I gave it a "Happy Birthday Grandad" sentiment as I though the war theme would appeal to an older gent!

I hope you like it and I will share the others made with the different sheets with you over the next week or so!

Thanks for looking!!!

Crafters Companion December Challenge card!!!

Hiya Everyone,

It's that time again to share with you my challenge card for the Crafters Companion Monthly Challenge.  The theme this month is "New beginnings" so I decided to make a wedding card for my cousin who is getting married later this month.  I have used my Humphrey CD rom and printed off this gorgeous wedding image that I have just added a little glamourdust to.  As I have been soooo busy I thought I would kill two birds with one stone (again).   It is very CAS which isn't my usual thing but I do like it for a change.

I have used my favourite snowflake embossing folder and embossed half a white square before mounting onto navy card - it does look almost black in the piccie but it is navy, I promise!  I then added a little navy ribbon round the middle and knotted a bit more round it to the side of my image.  I then added a snowflake I cut from my spellbinders create a flake set and then added a smaller silver one to the centre before adding a diamante to the centre.  The sentiment I did on the computer - the font is Harrington. 

Today is my gorgeous little girl Tayla's birthday who will be 1 today and also the start of the new Joanna Sheen Challenge blog.  The theme this month is "Christmas wishes" so I'd love to see you all take part.  You can use any image but if you use a Joanna Sheen image you get an extra dip into the randomly drawn prize draw!!!  We are having a little party for her tomorrow so I will post the card I made for her tomorrow as I have already shared 2 cards with you today!

Thanks for looking!!!

Joanna Sheen Challenge starts today!!!!!!!

Hiya everyone,

I am so pleased to share that the new Official Joanna Sheen Challenge Blog has now started.  The first challenge is "Christmas Wishes" so I'd love to see you all take part.  You can use any image but you will get an extra dip into the randomly picked prize draw if you do use a Joanna Sheen image.   There is a £30 gift voucher up for grabs for the one lucky winner as well as a DT picked Top 3.  Everyone who enters will also get chance to apply for a coveted Guest DT spot for March's Challenge.  For full details see the challenge blog.

My card has been made with one of my favourite House Mouse stamps that I got last year and never used as I'd just had Tayla.  This image is from a set called "opening presents".  I have coloured in my image with my promarkers and added some glossy accents to the eyes and nose.

The papers are from an 8x8 Deck the halls papermania set that I bought a wee while ago and had never used.  The MS holly border punch and the normal holly punch are both crafty bargains that I bought off crafty facebook friends.  Please forgive the not so good piccies.  My camera died so I've been using my mums and I've not quite got the hang of it Lol.

I would also like to wish my gorgeous little girl a very happy 1st birthday today - I love you sweetie!!!!
