PaperPlay Challenges & Colour Me Creative

Good morning! It's been such a busy week thus far and I am so glad the kids will be off school for 2 weeks from this Friday!! Yay.. 2 whole weeks of no school runs, no lunches, no uniforms and NO ROUTINE!! Of course it will most likely mean very little crafty time too, lol.

Today I have 2 cards to share today. I had a full on mojo day yesterday and I made the most of it.

First up is PaperPlay Challenges and this week we have a photo inspiration challenge for you. We are being sponsored by Kenny K Downloads and the DT are all showcasing these fabby digis!! I took the colours as my inspiration

I just love Kenny K's - they are such fun images and are a joy to colour. My papers are from Basic Grey  and have been machine stitched. The sentiment is by Lili of the Valley.

Stampin' for the Weekend - Anything Goes

Happy Friday!! 

Well only another week and a half until the little ones are back in school. Life is very, very busy right now and I'm sure I'm not the only one, so to make things a bit easier we have an ANYTHING GOES challenge on Stampin' for the Weekend this week.

I recently purchased some Kenny K images but haven't had time to play with them so I decided to use one for my card this week. I have to say I really love these images. My daughter picked which one I had to use as she said it's her, lol.

I used the sketch on Sunday Sketch & Stamp and followed the challenge on Kenny K's challenge blog which was BOLD & BRIGHT. The colours I've used are certainly bolder and brighter than I'd normally use... this challenge dragged me  right out of my comfort zone!!

My papers are Basic Grey Olivia, LOVE THEM!! The colours are just fantastic!! I used copic markers on my image and added some star dust stickles to the ice cream :) 

The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts and I'm also going to enter their challenge ONE FOR THE GIRLS. 

The pearls are from a prima swirl, the ribbon and sentiment are from my stash. 

Thanks for visiting! Have a wonderful weekend.

PaperPlay Challenges - Simons Says Stamp - Cute Card Thursday

MORNING!! Well today is weekly shopping day *big sigh*. The kids have taken to nibbling at the furniture and the cat has gone into hiding after some very hungry looks from said kids, so I figure it's time to get some food in!!

Today I have 3 cards to share... 

First up is two cards I made for PaperPlay Challenges whose theme is ANYTHING GOES. I used some Waltzing Mouse stamps and they are sponsoring this week.

I am also entering into the Cute Card Thursday which is TEXTING CRAZY - they want to see text being the predominant feature on your card.

On this card I used  Rescue Remedies - which are nestie friendly and compatible with Labels Four. I used London Fog momento ink for stamping the sentiment. The papers are Bo Bunny and the ribbon and button are from my stash.

This card was made using the hearts and a sentiment from Sewing Box Hugs. I stamped out the large heart twice, cut the first one on the outside row of 'stitching' and the second one on the inside row. Then I stamped out the smaller heart from the set. I inked them all and layered them - then added a cream pearl to the centre. Then I added some lace and wild orchid flowers to finish off.

I will be entering this card into Wild Orchid's challenge - Lovely Lace

If you would like a chance to win A FULL SET of fantastic Waltzing Mouse stamps then make sure to play along HERE. 

Next up is for Simon Says Stamp whose theme is GOING DOTTY and Stamp Something Challenges with SOMETHING FLOWERY.

I used a free Kenny K digi image and coloured her with copic markers. I love how funky these images are. I bought some others but I loved this free one too much not to use it:)

The papers are from my scraps box and are a mix of Pink Paislee & Jenni Bowlin. I punched the border using a MS punch and inked all my papers with Brushed Cordoroy distress ink. Again, I used some WO flowers, dotty ribbon and black gems to embellish.

Wow, what a long post! If you're still with me thanks for popping by today. Have a great Thursday and happy crafting!!
