I have gone with a new baby theme, so later I will make it into a baby card. I have used the Magnolia "So Heavenly" stamp, coloured with my ProMarkers with Sakura clear glitter gel pen added to the hair and wings. The papers are Heidi Grace "Baby" collection, and then I have added a couple of star brads from my stash and some "bling" .
I was so short of time this weekend that I didn't even look at any of the card making challenge blogs...I just did my own thing....and here it is. I haver used a H&S image that I was given earlier in the year....Thanks Hun (you know who you are...). The papers are all Prima Marketing "Dude" with the sentiment done using my ATB tape writer. I have coloured the image with my ProMarkers...I love them so....LOL
The lovely and super talented Marlene http://www.mar1ene.wordpress.com/ has given me an award....Thanks Hun xxx
The challenge this week over on A Spoon Full of Sugar Blog is to make "Anything but a card". So after making a bookmark for another challenge (and Georgia snaffling it) I decided to make one for myself. For mine I used a piece of chipboard for the base, and covered it with Sassafras Lass Serendipity "Sunshine Lollipop" papers. I added some Prima blossoms and a flora doodles brad by Petaloo, and some stickers from Sassafras Lass and alpha's by Making Memories. The tassle I made using embroidery floss. I am so pleased with it, and definately keeping this one for myself....I just love those Sassafras Lass papers...I also love the word Sassafrass...sassafras, sassafras, sassafras.....OK, it's out of my system now....LOL
A little late, but this weeks challenge over on the Tilda & Co Challenge Blog is "Emboss This". So what better excuse did I need tio get my new Cuttlebug out.
So we are back after our short break, I hope you all had fun making our "Seasons" theme ATC's...I know I did. Anyway, there have been a few changes this week, after some discussion it has been decided that Tilda is going to be allowed some company on our ATC's, after all we are called "Tilda & Friends". So from this week onwards you are able to use Sugar Nellies (with the exception of the Sweet Ebony range), Cuddly Buddly's ( but not the animals), hAnglar & stAnglar (soon to be available from Sugar Nellie via Funky Kits) and the Country Girls from Alota stamps. So for this week I have used one of my hAnglar images, and not only have I made an ATC, but I have made the ATC into a card....
This weeks challenge over on Penny Black Saturday Challenge Blog is "Stars & Stripes". I was lucky enough to receive this (and loads of others) from the lovely Annie when we met up last month. I have coloured the image with my ProMarkers. The papers used are all Scenic Route "Grafton" and also one of the "Grafton" die-cut journal blocks. The sentiment has been added with Doodlebug "So Sweet" alphabet stickers.
I have had a busy weekend preparing for the arrival of the Plumbers to do my bathroom. But I did manage to find a little time to out this card together for Friday Sketchers....and finish off my ScrapaGoGo DT work. Anyway, back to the card. I have used a couple of hAnglar & stAnglar images, I think they call them students. I got them from http://www.inkywings.com/. They very occasionally have a few stamps that they sell for H&S...and I was lucky enough to get a couple of sets (and shared with a friend). I have used my ProMarkers to colour the images and added a little Sakura clear glitter gel pen to the buttons and the girls hair and necklace. The sentiment is by Hero Arts, and to get it to echo the circle, I bent it before I put it on the acrylic block. The flowers are by Prima and the buttons are from my stash. All the papers used are by Sassafras Lass "Serendipity".
This weeks challenge over on Cute Card Thursday Challenge Blog is "In the water". So I have made a larger A5 card this week, so that I could fit the scene on. I have used Tilda and the Jetty from the Summer Stamp Club. The Reeds were from the Sea & Summer 2008 collection. I have coloured all the images with my ProMarkers, and added some Sakura clear glitter gel pen to her hair and the water. The papers are Scenic Route "Grafton" the ribbon is American Craft, the flowers are by Prima. The spacers in the flowers were a gift from Marlene (my crafting bud...thanks Hun), but she does sell them in her eBay shop. The little tags were from Staples. All the sentiments are by Hero Arts.
After seeing the gorgeous card that t-cake made with this stamp, I just had to ink mine up and create one.
Finally here is my card for this weeks challenge over on Papertake Weekly Challenge Blog. The challenge this week is "A stitch in time", the stitching can be real or faux....this week has been a bit frantic, so I opted for faux. The image is the new Magnolia "So Heavenly", and they have been coloured with my ProMarkers. The papers are My Minds Eye, and are the remains of the August 2008 ScrapaGoGo kit. For Tilda's wings I have added silver Stickles....and they look bling-tastic.
Today I collected some parcels from the PO that they tried to deliver while I was on holiday...well my mini book was back from being published in Scrapbook Trends (August 2008 issue)....it's so nice to get it back (especially when I had worked out how much it cost to make). Well I also got my goodies...a pack of papers and stickers by Scenic Route "Grafton Collection" and pack of SEI letter stickers and 2 packs of Scenic Route chipboard "Crowns" and "Birds". Ironic really as over the weekend I ordered a few sheets of some of those papers....now if only I had not been on holiday I wouldn't have missed the delivery, therefore I would not have needed to place the order...LOL...oh well. I also got some new stamps from Alota Stamps...so I have been busy inking them up today. Last night I ordered my first set of Nestabilities from http://www.ucutathome.com/, well I did promise myself that I would order them after my holiday...and I am back...LOL.
The challenge for this week over on Sarah Kay Challenge Blog is a sketch. I had this image given to me in a swap...can't remember who with though. The papers and chipboard buttons are Crate Paper "Sweet Branch" and the stickers (letters and journal block) are both by American Crafts. All the elements of the card, with the exception of the image were part of the August ScrapaGoGo Kit....and lush it was too.
So now that I am home again and reunited with my stash, with the washing machine on meltdown trying to catch up with everything...I had a little time to catch up with this weekends challenges. While I was away my new stamps arrived from Magnolia...so that was a nice welcome home. As usual I can hardly wait to stamp them up, and once the washing machine was on the go, I got the chance to play. I have used Travelling Tilda & Suitcase stamps both by Magnolia. All the papers and stickers are Making Memories "Passport". I have coloured Tilda with my ProMarkers and put Tilda onto 3D foam pads.
This week the challenge over on Cute Card Thursday is "Bright Colours". So despite having the first sunny day here since we arrived on Saturday, I have still managed to whip this card up using stamped images that I bought with me. For this card I have used one of my new Alota stamps...it looks like this pair are having fun playing dress up. The papers are Autumn Leaves, and I cannot for the life of me remember what range they are from....you can almost guarantee that as soon as I have finished this post and have logged off and gone back to the caravan.....the range with suddenly just pop into my head. The other items are Prima flowers, Autumn Leaves stamps (ticket) and ChatterBox "Artsy.licious" , Doodlebug rub-ons and some random bling from my stash. So this is the last of my "caravan creations"...LOL.
