For my Valentine

The other week you may remember I told you about the competition over on Simply Create. A chance to win £100.00 of stash. Well, I for one think that is worth entering! So here is my little creation using the mood board above as inspiration.......

The paper is 'Bunches of Love' by Fancy Pants Designs. The little ticket is a digi from the DigiStamp Boutique and I coloured it with copics. So why not get your thinking caps on and get those creative juices flowing.
£100.00 of stash is just to good a prize to miss out on!

I am also entering my little box into these two challenges....

Simon Says....love is in the air

Papertake....anything goes+flowers

Puppy Love

So meet Barney who, along with cute love bugs, cuter bunnies and the gorgeous Grace, is available today from the Digi Stamp Boutique.

DigiStamp Boutique.......sneaky peek

Cute.....that's all I'm saying.....very cute!

Available here in the boutique tomorrow.

so sweet

Today I had loads of crafty time. So all my DT work is in the bag and I had time to do a challenge card, and this is it.

I used 'sugar sweet dreams' by Penny Black and coloured with water colour pencils. The dotty paper is 'alphabet soup' by My Minds Eye and the twine is from the ribbon girl (my seam binding is on the way, missed the bus first time round).

I am entering my card into 5 challenges.....

Cupcake....food for thought

Simon Says.....animal antics

Creative Inspirations.....buttons and bows

The Spotted Chick.....krafty thursday

Allsorts....saving nature (I used card from a box, behind the flowers)

That's it for today, but just wait till you see the cuties Sally-Ann has lined up for February over in the DigiStamp Boutique. New release day is tomorrow!

Oh, and don't forget to check out my little piece of candy.

thanks a bunch

Good Morning Penny Black fans.

First up I would like to give a big shout hello to my new followers it's lovely to see the number growing. I'm afraid it's been a bit slow on the crafty front this week. Blame the day job! Hopefully normal service should be resumed soon.

Anyways, you'll be wondering what this weeks challenge is, well wonder no more.
We have one of Paulines fabulous sketches.....

So tip it, turn it have fun with it!

Easy peasy, right? Find out all about it here.

happy day

Have you noticed my current fad? No, not the friendly flags again! Yep, it's stamping directly onto my card. This time I used my Hero Arts 'happy definition' for the background. To get a white space I used a square post it note over the middle of the stamp. Worked a treat.

I stamped 'hedge delivery' by Penny Black in the space and coloured with water colour pencils.

I then stamped out three Hero Arts buttons, coloured with copics and cut them out (really to cover the corner where the post it note didn't quite do the trick). I added a stamped sentiment and doodled round the hedgie and the edge of the card.

I am entering this card into the current Delightful Challenges....Celebration.

Penny Black Saturday Challenge

Good Morning Penny Black fans.

We have another challenge for you. This week it is.....

January Sales

So have you bagged a crafty bargain in the January sales? If so team it up with your Penny Black stamp, sentiment or stickeroo and create. Or, perhaps your bargain was a Penny Black stamp, if so, I am sooo jealous!

Everything I have used today (except my friendly flags) was reduced by at least 20% in my (fairly) local shop, CraftWorld.

This weeks prize......

4 rolls of ribbon from Fantastic Ribbons.

So you know the drill by now. You can find out if you are last week's lucky winner, see lots of brilliant cards to inspire you and enter your creation here at The Penny Black Saturday Challenge.

bugs & kisses

The other week I entered the challenge over on Delightful Challenges. Well, the more eagle eyed among you will have noticed the badge I am now proudly displaying on my sidebar. I am very excited that I have been chosen by their design team to be 'spotlighted'.

I got to choose a digi image from the massive range at Digital Delights by Louby Loo. I chose Lara Ladybug. Makes a super cute card, perfect for Valentines.

You can read all about my spotlight here.

very special to me

So here I am back as promised with the results of last nights play time! Lately I have been stamping straight on to my card blanks and I am loving that look. So I thought, why not try it with a digi stamp. Using one of the latest releases from the DigiStamp Boutique 'Valentine Birds' I pulled it off!

I am entering my card into the challenge over on Papertake....ribbons and pearls.

happy birthday

Just a quick post tonight to show my latest creation. It follows the super sketch on Sunday Sketch and Stamp. The spotty dog image is from the DigiStamp Boutique and I coloured with copics. Used those letter stamps again, told you I would!

Sally-Ann has sent me some of the latest releases from the Boutique so I'm off now to have a play. All being well I will share tomorrow.

new home

I've just found a brand new challenge blog 'Do It With Digi's'. Well, I love to do it with digi's so I had to get creating. I have used one of the little houses from the new home collection at the DigiStamp Boutique. I coloured with promarkers/copics and the papers are bobunny and little yellow bicycle (double sided).

I had a re-org' of the crafty cupboard and found these small letter stamps. Have now moved them to the front so you will no doubt be seeing them again!

I am entering my card into.....

Do It With Digi's.....new beginnings.
