Magnolia VS Stampavie

*Week 20* A colour challenge
RED, BLACK & WHITE (plus the option to use GREY if you wish)


Here is my card, although it doesn't really qualify for the challenge as I didn't use a Stampavie stamp (remind me to read things properly in future, will ya?!!) ...I absolutely adore these papers and have done many projects using them. This card was made with the few scraps I had left over....

Papers - Little Yellow Bicycle, Love Letters & Bazzil white cardstock
Stamp - Whiff of Joy: Melinda Blowing Kisses

Stamp Something & Basic Grey Sketches

This card is one I've made for the Stamp Something Challenge.

"This week we have a sketch challenge for you designed by our own Emily Weems! Thanks Emily. Feel free to flip it, resize it, or reshape it"


And here is my entry! I loved this sketch so I followed it closely.


I just adore these cute doll stamps. xXx

Papers are Making Memories Paperie, Poolside & Greenhouse.
Japanese Doll stamps from Hero Arts.
'Hello' sentiment from Studio G $1 Stamp sets
Adhesive pearls - ebay :)

Basic Grey Challenges had a sketch challenge this week too...

"This week we have a fabulous sketch for you to follow, which was designed by our fabulous Design Team Member Rica, feel free to rotate, resize and flip the sketch or even all three if you want to :), you can also add any more embellishments etc that you would like to, but remember to use at least one item from basicgrey somewhere on your creation, and most of all have fun :)"


And here is my take on it....

Papers - Basic Grey Blush
Ribbon - Raspberry Ribbons kit

Spring is in the Air

This is the card I made for a challenge on Stamp Something and it was a perfect project to try out the new Making Memories Flower Patch papers and clear stamps.

"In honor of the first day of Spring, we want you to "Think Spring" and create something that makes you feel or think of Spring time. You could use Spring colors, floral images, floral accents, anything you can think of. Let your imagination go wild!"

The Stamp is a Sugar Nellie called 'Catch a Butterfly' that I got from Funky Kits. There are so many wonderful new stamps out right now, it's so hard to choose just a few :S

Mother's Day

This is the Mother's Day card I made today.. as always, skirting on the edge of being late! lol. It started out as a remake of my Paperplay challenge, but half way through I decided to use my Candyfloss & Marshmallow stamps instead. I love how cute the image is!!! Happy Mother's Day sentiment is stamped inside.


The papers are My Mind's Eye - BellaBella from The Scrapbook Store. The ribbon slider and ribbon are ebay purchases :)

Who ME?

I was both pleasantly surprised and thrilled this morning when I read my emails! I've been offered a 4mth position on Pez-A-Doodle Design's DT!!! So happy :) I can't wait to get cracking on my first assignment, once I get over the shock of it! LOL.

Wish me luck!! :)

All Round!

That's the challenge on Basic Grey Challenges this week.

"This week we want to see rounded corners, not an angle in sight ! Please interpret this how you would like, but of course not to forget to use at least one item from BasicGrey somewhere on your creation :)"

And this is what I came up with.....


Papers are BG Cupcake. The image is a Magnolia Edwin and I coloured him using distress inks and the ribbon is American Crafts.
