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.....

Good Morning Penny Black fans.

It's Saturday and that means a brand new challenge and this week it's......

.....a card buffet.
So along with your image you get to choose 4 items!

My card is very (very) bright and bold this week. It just sort of happened! I used a Penny Black slapstick stamp 'loving and hugging' coloured with copic pens. The papers are by Doodlebug and I picked up the felt flowers at Tesco.

And here are this weeks prizes from our regular sponsor Penny Black.
One lucky winner will receive.....

We had three fabulous prizes last week so pop over to the Penny Black Saturday Challenge, you might be a lucky winner. While there you can feast your eyes on this weeks inspiration from my team mates.

And, just before I go, there is still lots of time to enter the 'new beginnings' challenge over on Crafty Calendar.

hello

Can't stop using my new friendly flags stamps! This time I used the plain flag and coloured with copics/promarkers. I then doodled the lettering and all the dots. The image, Penny Black 'cat bath' is stamped directly on to the card base and coloured with watercolour pencils.

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

Cupcake and My Partner in Crafting Crime, both challenges are 'something new'. My something new is, of course, my new favourite stamps (well, this week) Hero Arts 'friendly flags'.

OK then, early night for me. First full week back at work for ages, still two days to go and I'm exhausted!

you're special

Meet the cutest most loved up couple in the digi stamping world...Pippa and Sonny from the DigiStamp Boutique. I used my Prisma pencils to colour this time, so relaxing. The papers are by First Edition 'animal antics' and the sentiment is from Craftwork Cards.

This fits 2 challenges....

Lili of the Valley.....sketch

Delightful......buttons (any challenge involving buttons and I'm in!)

special treasures

When I first got my big shot all you could get were the sizzix shape dies. I had some but hardly used them, so I thought my considered purchase of a big shot was a mistake, how wrong was I?

Along came nesties, embossing folders, etc and now I couldn't make a card without the big fella! But I still have those original dies I hardly use. Well, I got them out from the back of the crafty cupboard and am determined to use them. So here is a card with die cut balloons, quite effective.

The stamp is from my new Penny Black set 'a good catch' coloured with water colour pencils. The sentiment is from a Hero Arts set.

I am entering my card into the Papertake challenge....anything goes.

make me smile

I thoroughly enjoyed making a card similar to this the other day. This one instead of colouring the friendly flags I embossed them. I made this card for the challenge on Cupcake, white is white. The stamp is a Penny Black 'bun-bun', very cute.

Pippa sending lots of love

It's well seen I am off work until Wednesday, two posts in one day! But I just had to show you Pippa, one of a brand new set of images in the DigiStamp Boutique.

I paper pieced her dress and shoes with papers from basic grey 'marjolaine' and used copics/promarkers to colour the rest.

I followed this weeks sketch at Sketch and Stash. My new item is the image.

a simple thank you

Well Tron 3D was disappointing I don't recommend it. The only good thing about it was the Magnum (which I managed to eat in the dark without getting it all over myself).

Anyways here is a card using my Banana Frog build-a-bloom. This time I stamped out the petals onto white card, coloured with copics/promarkers and cut out. The sentiment is by Hero Arts and the twine from the Ribbon Girl.

I am entering these two challenges....

Allsorts....thank you

Cute Card Thursday....thank you

happy birthday

A new year and some new stamps to use. A new Penny Black 'flutter-bye', that fat little hedgie is so cute! And new Hero Arts 'friendly flags'. I stamped the hedgie directly on to my card base and coloured with water colour pencils. I stamped the flags on to white card, coloured with copics/promarkers and cut out.

I am entering my card into the challenge over on Creative Card Crew.....Birthdays.

Off out to the cinema tonight. Booked to see Tron 3D at the Imax. It's hubby's choice, well, we watched The Holiday last night so I can't complain!
