PaperPlay Challenges - Appreciation/Thank You

It's Thursday and that means a new challenge over on PaperPlay Challenges. Our theme this week is...

Appreciation/Thank You

PaperPlay Challenges - Show Your Style

Good morning and happy Thursday. Today is my busy day - food shopping, cleaning, etc, etc, etc.. the usual boring housewifey stuff, lol. 

This week's PaperPlay challenge -  we want to see YOUR style of crafting, whatever YOU are most comfortable doing, whatevery YOU enjoy most. This week it's all about YOU YOU YOU ;)

We are sponsored by Simon Says Stamp, our regular monthly sponsor and the prize is a $15 store voucher to spend on whatever YOU want {<-see, it is all about YOU!! lol }

Hmmm, my style {yes, it's about ME now :D } .. I had to think about this one. I love cute images, I love to colour, I love tags, I love flowers, I love pearls, I love Tim Holtz products, I love Manga, I love lace, I love ribbon and I love love love colour combo challenges!!  So I decided on a tag and for my tag I used an image that I had coloured for the Make it Colourful challenge - Black with a splash of Red - and this is what I came up with.

I used black card as my base tag. My papers are My Mind's Eye - Meadowlark. The background paper has been embossed with the Tim Holtz BINGO folder. All of my papers have been inked with Antique Linen distress inks.

I found this image on the internet.. it was free to take and I couldn't find any copyright on it - I also have no clue who the illustrator is, unfortunately. The copics I used are C8, C5, C3, C1 and R29, R27, R24, R22

The flowers, seam binding and lace are all from Wild Orchid Crafts and I am entering this tag into their challenge - White +2 with a Twist. The twist is to use roses, which I have. 

Thank you so much for popping by today. I really appreciate the visit. Please do stop by my wonderful DT ladies' blogs to see THEIR style ;) 

Have a wonderful day

Good morning! I hope your Thursday is going well. It's a bright & sunny, yet chilly, day here. 

This week's PaperPlay Challenge is Layer it Up and we would love to see loads of layers on  your creations. I made 2 cards for this challenge as I just love layering my papers :D We are being sponsored by Bunny Zoe Crafts and the prize is a cool $10 store voucher.

On this first one I used another Fairy Tales image - Alice - by Instyle Stamps. Now I'm not usually a fan of all things blue when it comes to girls, lol, but I really like the colour scheme for this image. 

My papers are a mix of Basic Grey and Pink Paislee. The co-ordinating ribbon came wrapped around my little man's pj's when I bought them.. definitely a case of recycling here :) The flowers and crystal drops are from Wild Orchid Crafts.

My next card is also my entry into Whiff of Joy's colour combo challenge which is Chocolate, Teal & Cream. LOVE this colour combo!!!! The image I used, Ben, is one of the Valentine releases but I made a Birthday card. Works well, yes? lol. 

The papers are Graphic 45 Steampunk - who'd a thought you could make these papers 'cute'? haha!! The green & brown seam binding.. hmm.. I paid a sweet fortune for this on Etsy a while back before it became popular and easier/cheaper to get.. *sulking*. lol. Still, I love the distressed effect on it and am hoarding it like nobody's business :D 

The sentiment is from Lili of the Valley.

Ben has been coloured using copics - 

Skin: E21, 51, 00, 02

PaperPlay meets Whiff of Joy Challenges

Good morning. We have a very sweet challenge on PaperPlay this week -  Cutie Patootie :D So we would love to see you break out your cutest of images and ink them up!! 

I just couldn't resist using this uuuuber cute stamp from Whiff of Joy, called Henry with Love Balloon - which also happens to be the prize for this week's challenge. I think you'll agree he's definitely a cutie. I followed Jane's fabby sketch on Whiff of Joy Challenges.

He's been coloured using copic markers - E35, E33, E31, E30, R29, R27, R24, R20 and a tiny amount of stickles is added to the balloon. I used classic circles nesties to cut him out and the scalloped circle nesties on for the red card behind him.

The papers are from a pile in my drawer and for the life of me I can't remember what they are called. I've machine stitched them all. 

My flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts and the pearl topped pins from the local drapery store. The pearl brad securing the bow to the ribbon is also from Whiff of Joy.

PaperPlay Challenges - Holiday Tags

Good morning everyone!! I just love waking up to the winter wonderland outside my window. Sadly it's not to last much longer :( 

This week on PaperPlay Challenges we would like to see your Holiday Tags - tags that you are going to add to your gifts.

I haven't even started my tags yet *gulp* but am mostly done with my Christmas cards, so it's not so bad. 

I went a little bit "T!m" on my tag today... of course nowhere near his standard of excellence.. lol... I'd need a full year to make all my tags as detailed as his. 

hmm.. it's too hard to get a decent photo of the Santa, but I have him covered with glossy accents so that he pops up from the tag. I also used glossy accents, and red ink, to highlight the "25"

The holly leaf stamp is from Waltzing Mouse's Around Christmastime set. I added a JOY charm that I bought in the NEC this year and secured it to the seam binding using a dark green scrappers floss. 

I hope you like :) Don't forget to visit my teamies' blogs, they have come up with some wonderful tags to inspire you!

Dutch Dare Card - Christmas Tag or Ornament

Crafty Cardmakers - Spotlight on Tags

Stamp Something - Christmas Colours

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

I made a card for a challenge recently, and only after I had it made did I realise that I had to use a specific image, which I hadn't used, so the card couldn't be entered. It's not often that upon finishing a card that I can honestly say that I'm 100% happy with it.. but OF COURSE this one I love!! I haven't decided what to do with it yet so I can't post the whole card but here's a little peeky.... 

Have a great day!

PaperPlay Challenges - Let it Snow!!

Good afternoon!! Well if you read the title of this post you'll see that our challenge on PaperPlay this week is LET IT SNOW.. no explanation needed, right??! Well you'd think that anyway ... but if you can find snow on my card you've got great sight.. or a wonderful imagination, lol. I totally lost the run of myself and just made a CHRISTMAS card, not a flake of snow in sight.. is it too late to change the challenge??? ha!!

My image is called Angel Delivering Christmas Tree and I've coloured her with copic sketch markers, then I cut her out and mounted her on 3D pop dots. Once I had her stuck down I stickled her wings.  The sentiment is by Lili of the Valley.

My papers are Cosmo Cricket 'Mitten Weather' and are just gorgeous IRL. I've inked them all with Antique Linen distress inks and added a cream doily to place my image on. I've also added some fabulous lace :)

The large flat flowers are Prima Craftables and I've coloured them using Patina Glimmer mist. Just a couple of spritzes so that it didn't cover the whole flower, I wanted the splashes look. I added Wild Orchid Crafts Rose and pearls to the centres. I used the Whiff of Joy 'Leaves' die to cut out my leaf and placed it behind the flowers. For a bit of extra bling I used some Prima e-line pearl swirl

Challenges:

Whiff of Joy - Sketch by Tara

PaperPlay Challenges - Lace, Ribbon & Flowers

Hi!! It's an AWFUL day out there today. I am spending the afternoon crafting, not putting one foot outside the door for fear of being blown away!! Hubster has been delegated the school runs :D 

I made this card & paper cone set for PaperPlay Challenges - Lace, Ribbon & Flowers, Whiff of Joy Challenges  -  Christmas card, Cute Card Thursday - Anything Goes and Basic Grey Challenges which is a sketch by the very lovely Heather.

  

I just adore this sweet WOJ image and love how versatile it is - I knew it would be perfect for a Mother/Daughter Christmas card. I coloured it using Copic sketch markers, cut it out with Labels 14 Nesties and sponged the background with distress ink.

My papers are BG Jovial - I am LOVING them!! I've distessed them with Antique Linen ink. The border work is done using Martha Stewart's deep edge trellis punch. I'm not 100% certain but I *think* the lace is from Prima. I bought the charm and flower centres from The Hobby House at the NEC :D

Then I made a paper cone to using the BG Jovial, ribbon & lace and filled it with candies. It has already been claimed by a certain 4yr old diva... 

... and I just know that a certain 6yr old little man is going to hissy fit until I make him one also, LOL!! 

Thanks for popping in!! Don't forget to leave my PaperPlay teamies a little love and be sure to read the post this week - we are having a DT call!

This week on PaperPlay Challenges we have a HALLOWEEN theme. We are being sponsored by Bunny Zoe Crafts and the prize is £10 voucher for her store!! 

My super scary sweet image is from Just INKlined and he's been coloured using copic markers. I cut the image out and mounted it on 3D pop dots. Just a little black ribbon and a couple of bats cut out from patterened paper was all I felt this card needed. My sentiment is by Waltzing Mouse Stamps and has been stamped using white chalk ink.

Copics used:

PaperPlay Challenges - Autumn is Coming

Hi everyone! We have a great challenge for you over on PaperPlay Challenges - 

Autumn is Coming. 

We would love to see creations using the colours of Autumn. 

Our fabulous regular monthy sponsor, Simon Says Stamp, is offering $15 to spend in their store to the very lucky winner of this challenge. 

I've had this free Tea Baggie template from Waltzing Mouse Stamps for a while and finally got around to playing with it this week. I used some wonderful Basic Grey 'Green at Heart' papers and inked them all with Brushed Corduroy distress ink. 

I used both the circle and scalloped circle nesties and the sentiment is also by Waltzing Mouse, from the Afternoon Tea set. I added some Wild Orchid roses and rose leaf -  and a little teapot charm I had in my stash. The big yellow button was, I'm sure, sent to me by my good friend Dee2. 

Now, I am off to clear up the mess I made last night while doing Kirsty Wiseman's online crop. It was so much fun that I almost didn't get my layout done - I will be posting it on my other blog in a while. 

Thanks for popping by! Be sure to go over and say hello to my very talented DT on PaperPlay!!

PaperPlay Challenges & a Waltzing Mouse Sketch Challenge

Hi!! I have 2 cards to share with you today. The first is one I made for PaperPlay Challenges. We have a Sketch Challenge for you this week, with the added option of using new stash. 

My card is quite a loose intrepretation of the sketch and I did move elements around to suit my image, which is called Little Bird, and can be found HERE. The sentiments also come with the image.

My papers are Webster's Pages - I'm still having issues with covering up these beautiful papers!! lol. I used the MS Cornice punch to do the brown border and used some Prima packaging for the pale green border. The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts. The daisy head pins and ribbon is from my stash.

I'm also entering this card into Wild Orchid Crafts Challenge which is Make it Sparkle

Next up is another entry into the Waltzing Mouse Sketch Challenge. The head Mouse-tress, Claire, has kindly offered up 2 sets of stamps for the random winner of this week's challenge :D

I am really pleased with this card. I love the sketch and I've used my all time favourite christmas papers, Figgy Pudding (still using up scraps!!), with a deep red and plain white cardstock. The sentiment is from Waltzing Mouse "Seasons of Love - Tags", which are nestie friendly too!!

I've added some Wild Orchid flowers that I've inked with Fired Brick distress ink. The sentiment has also been stamped and the background shaded using Fired Brick. I used my circle and scalloped circle nesties to make the card base and for the layering.  I've also added a white button threaded with red Scrapper's Floss and a beautiful MR crystal pin. The lace is from my stash - part of my great ebay bargain that I bought about 6mths ago & the red rhinestones are Kaisercraft!!

Thanks for popping by!! Be sure to visit my teamies to see their wonderful creations this week. Have a great day!

PaperPlay Challenges - Pink Pink Pink

I'm baaaack!! lol. I survived the camping trip of Murphy's Law and am now safely back home. We had a great time even with all the hiccups we had to contend with. My mojo is a little slow about disembarking from the ship but I'm gently coaxing it home.... ;)

This week on PaperPlay Challenges our theme is quite simply PINK! We want to see all things pink on your creations. 

We are being sponsored by Bunny Zoe Crafts and the prize is a $15 store voucher. 

I am having a little girly get together for my daughter and her friends before they start school in Sept and yesterday we made invitations to send out.

I used the wonderful Afternoon Tea stamp set from Waltzing Mouse Stamps for both the sentiment and the tea pot. The tea pot has been paper pieced. The stamped border is also by Waltzing Mouse, from the Victorian Frippery set.  I based my invitations on the Waltzing Mouse sketch this week


My K & Company papers are from Crafty Alley's August kit and they have been inked with Victorian Velvet distress ink.

The lace and pearls are from my stash. 

Thanks for popping by today. Be sure to check out the rest of the DT's wonderful PINK creations on the PaperPlay Challenges blog. Have a wonderful day and happy crafting!!

PaperPlay Challenge - Bon Voyage

Well I'm really hoping y'all are reading this because if not then blogger didn't publish my scheduled posts, lol. 

This week on PaperPlay Challenges our theme is Bon Voyage - as August is the month a lot of people take vacations. However Bon Voyage could also mean leaving your job, moving home or moving to a new country.. the choice is yours!!

We are being sponsored  by Simon Says Stamp and Heidi has very generously offered our winner a $15 voucher to spend in the Simon Says Stamp store. 

I used one of the new Tildas from Magnolia's Summer Kit and coloured her with copics. Have to say, this poor Tilda looks a little tubby around the middle, lol. Maybe she's coming home from a great vacation and forgot the diet ;) !! The shells are also from the kit. Of course my flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts and I've added loads of my favorite embellies.. PEARLS!! lol.

Well that's it from me for today. I am probably washed out of it in the UK but hopefully not washed out to sea!! 

Thanks for visiting!!

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!!

On PaperPlay Challenges this week we would love to see projects for a child/teenager. We are being sponsored by Stitchy Bear Stamps

and the prize is 4 delightful images - 3 of which I've used as I couldn't decide, lol.

 

For my first card I used Sparkles.

My flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts and the black gems are Kaisercraft. This card is also my entry for the Simon Says Stamp Challenge - Check it Out (use checks, plaid, gingham, etc. on your creation)

for this card I used J.T and the sketch from Sunday Sketch & Stamp

For this card I used Angie Angel and the sketch from Sketch Saturday
The papers are by Anna Griffin and have been inked with distress ink. I used my scalloped and circle nesties to cut the circles and then cut them in half. The flowers are, again, from Wild Orchid.

Stamp Something Challenges, Stampin' for the Weekend & PaperPlay

Good morning!

Well here we are, another Friday, can you believe it's already June?! My older boys are out of school for the summer and the little man will be finished in another 3 weeks. 

It's been a bit of a rollercoaster week. My brother's best friend died on Monday and it threw me all out. I have no concentration and have found it so hard to get my DT work done this week. 

On a happier note, my little one has her introduction day today for 'big school' in September. It would all be good only we've been informed that we need to 'drop and go'.. *deep breath... hold... exhale...* We've also been told that we shouldn't hang around the windows.. dang!! lol!!

Enough waffling......

I have 3 cards to share today so apologies for the long post. I'll keep the blurb to a minimum .. like I have so far, right?!! lol!!

First is my PaperPlay which should have been posted yesterday, but like I've said.. I couldn't get my head straight all week. 

We are being sponsored by our regular monthly sponsor, Stitchy Bear Stamps. Our winner will recieve 4 gorgeous images, hand picked by me :) 

I am also entering it into Crafty Alley's challenge which is  the sketch I've used, and into Scrap Whispers challenge "Something New" - All 3 images I've used on my cards today are new.

I added stickles to her dress and hair bands, and around the sentiment for loads of sparkle.

Image: Mo Manning

Papers: Magnolia 

Tools: Circle/scalloped circle nesties, cuttlebug, copic markers, stickles. 

Ribbon and flowers from my stash.

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

Next up is Stamp Something Challenges. 

It's Stamp Something's first digi day!!!  We want you to use a digi on your creation. 

Our sponsors include Some Odd Girl, Bugaboo, Di's digis, Sew Many and Meljen Designs

I messed up a little here as I was supposed to use a different image, by Some Odd Girl, but again.. head all over the place this week. I had her coloured up and ready to go and then got totally side-tracked and ended up using this cutie by Meljens Designs. 

I went a little bit MS crazy and punched out 3 rows with the Doily Lace punch. The image is coloured with copic markers, backed with bazzil and then mounted on 3D foam dots. The butterfly punch is also from MS. The papers are PM Rose Garden.. I seriously need more of this!!

Stamp Something also have a DT call open. I can't believe it's been almost 6mths since I joined up and I shall miss it very much when my time is done. You can check out the details HERE.

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

Last, but by no means least, is my Stampin' for the Weekend.

Our theme this week is Summer/Travel and we are being sponsored by Simon Says Stamp!! 

The very lucky winner will recieve a $25 store coupon and shipping is also free!! How great is that??!!

I went with the Summer theme!! I used another Mo's image on this one. She is called Finna and  I was very lucky to get her free on Facebook, thank you so much Mo!! She's been coloured with copic markers and the sentiment is a Studio G. My papers are BG Kioshi, love them!! The flowers are Prima and I've added a Kaisercraft pearl in the centre. The ribbon is American Crafts. 

Well I hope you are still with me, lol..... Please do hop over to all of my teamies' blogs and leave them a little love. Don't forget that there are 2 DT calls out, on PaperPlay and on Stamp Something. If you fancy your chances  then pop over to their blogs for all the details.

Have an absolutely fantastic weekend and happy crafting!!
