Napping

Hi all,

Hope you all had a nice International Scrapbooking Day last Saturday with lots of crafty fun! I had a scrappy evening planned, but I happened to be shopping with my friend in the afternoon and when I wanted to go home, all the trains were cancelled! Well, my train anyway. So I came home at 12 pm! No more ISD left for me....Oh well, I am sure I can plan some time soon and get my scrappy fix!

The new (P)inspirational Challenge revolved around this image:

I used the little flowers as my starting point and scrapped some picture of my own little fairy and her daddy. I used some 'forest' textures, such as woodgrain, branches and leaves too. 

Our sponsors this fortnight are Oddball Art Stamps and Digital Delights. Hope you can join us and share your project!

Challenges:

* Crafty Calendar Challenge (Flowers)

* Crafty Friends (Cute)

* Polka Doodles (Anything Goes)

* Glitter 'n Sparkle (For the Kids, Inspired by a Kid's film) Sleeping Beauty

* Dragon's Lair (Anything Goes, Optional Fashion Action)

Using Up My Flowers

Hello all,

What a lovely sunny day today in my part of the world! Still cold, mind.....Nothing like a nice summer project to get me going when it's cold outside, so when I saw the (P)inspirational photo this time:

I knew I wanted to scrap some summer photo's! And here she is, our little girl, having an alfresco dinner in the garden. Unbelievable that this was less than a year ago, this weekend she started walking in earnest, stumbling her way around the living room! All the cliche's are true, they do grow up so fast..... I love it and hate it at the same time.

I took several elements from the inspirational photo, including the frame, butterflies and the word TODAY. I couldn't find any leaves in my stash, but I do have an absolute mountain of paper flowers that I want to use up and never do. Same with chipboard and butterflies, they really stump me on layouts! So I just started sticking around a circle I cut with my circle cutter (another one of those must-have tools that I rarely reach for somehow), using up flowers, brads and other assorted pieces I had to hand. I am pretty happy with the result, I tend to use rectangles of paper most often, so when I do something different it all feels so brandnew! I always say I should do this type of design more often, but then I never do....I guess I know my comfort zone!

We have two sponsors this time for the (P)inspirational Challenge: Imagine That Digistamps & The Cutting Cafe. Check out these links to see what beautiful things they have on offer!

Challenges:

* Come and Get It (Circles)

* Creative Sketchy Girls (Flowers and/or Butterflies)

* My Time to Craft (Sequins and/or Buttons) I did both

* Just Add Ink (Choose 2: Metallics, Balloons, Circles) I used Metallic letter stickers and created several circles on my LO

* Great Impressions (April Showers Bring May Flowers) I used a bunch of flowers on my LO and included the purple

Here & Now

Hi all,

A new challenge at Pinspirational Challenges starts today and here in the inspirational image:

Cute, no? I decided to use the colour scheme as my inspiration and found this lovely paper in my stash that would work well for a backing paper. This layout is about what is happening with us right now and since there was going to be quite a bit of personal details in my journaling I decided to take the picture before I put the words down. I also found a balloons chipboard piece that went well with the colours and the inspirational picture. 

Our sponsors this time is Beccy's Place, so play along with our challenge to have a shot at a lovely prize!

Challenges:

Morgan's Artworld (Add Flowers)

Summer Z-card

Happy Wednesday everyone!

Whenever I am about to make a card, I like to pick my husband's brain to get inspired. So when I told him this week's theme @ Fab 'n Funky was "Feels Like Summer", he said: Flowers.

Use a Doily

Good morning all!

Well, that's half of the work week finished and it's been an incredibly busy one. At work we are now all full steam ahead on teaching updates & development, on top of our normal work load, on top of our current teaching load, so you can imagine I am looking forward to the weekend! Crafting is keeping me sane during the week though :)

This week's challenge @ Fab 'n Funky is "Use a Doily". Funny enough, I don't own any doilies, but I do own a doily lace border punch, so decided to use that instead, using a technique I had seen on the web before. You basically punch the border and then cut each link almost up to the top so that you can move them independently from each other. You can then shape it into a circle or oval, whatever you need. You might get an even better result if you cut and glue each individual link separately, but that would take you quite some time! This does the trick though :)

Materials:
* Digistamps for Joy Welcome Home Digi, coloured with Promarkers & Spectrum Noirs
* Prima Sparkling Spring & Jack 'n Jill DPs
* MS Doily Lace Border punch
* Panduro Design Stencil & Vintage Photo Distress Ink
* Afternoon Tea Candi
* Ribbon from stash

Challenges:
* Emerald Fairies (Dies/Punches)
* Craft Your Passion (In the Garden)
* Totally Papercraft (Flowers & Bows)
* Really Reasonable Ribbon (Dots & Ribbon)
* Hobby House (Anything Goes)
* Kaboodle Doodles (Pastels)
* Paper Makeup Stamps (All Tied Up)
* Ladybug Crafts (Flowers & Ribbon)
* Crealing (Flowers)
* Frosted Design (Polka Dots)

Blingy Buttons

Good morning everyone!

Did you all have a nice weekend? We certainly did, we spent a couple of days in Zeeland, one of the Dutch coast provinces. We had beautiful sunny weather, but there was quite a lot of wind so it was still a bit nippy on occasion. It was wonderful though to get away for a few days :)

But now it's Monday again and there's plenty of fun things today was well, among which is a new challenge over @ Ooh La La, themed "Buttons & Bling". I managed to finish this card by the skin of my teeth, I was working on it yesterday evening when we came back! A case of bad planning on my part I'm afraid, but I managed to finish before my eyes fell shut somehow :) Such a beautiful flowers image, the CD Fleur D'Imagination is packed with them!

Right, let's get to the challenge for this fortnight, which is themed "Flowers and Pearls". Here's my card:

Easel Does It

Good morning all!

It's time for another challenge over @ Ooh La La, asking for your "Easel Cards". I love easel cards, although I've had to tell several people that I sent them to how they work as I've seen them displayed upside down or sideways LOL

I've used an image from the Ooh La La's Fleur D'Imagination CD called Pink Blossom. As usual, the CD has several toppers & decoupage using this image with lovely matching DPs, so I really didn't need to use any other paper this time around.

Materials:
* Ooh La La Pink Blossom image & DPs from the Fleur D'Imagination CD
* Petaloo Celebrations 3D Butterfly
* Victorian Velvet Distress Ink
* Buttons from stash

We'd love to see your work at the challenge blog, please share your easel projects with us!

Christmas Pointsettia

Happy Monday all!

Did you enjoy your weekend? I went to see my parents, due to teaching commitments I hadn't been able to go for quite a while so it was great to catch up and spend some time together.

Today I'm back in crafty mode. It seems all I am making these days are Christmas cards, I am amazed that I still have some new ideas for cards! This time I went with a more vintage-like style, using some Distress Ink and my trusty Distress Tool. The card came together pretty quickly in my head, I had already coloured and glittered the Poinsettia and the rest just came together naturally. Such a shame you can't make out the sparkle in the photo, but it ultrasparkly in real life! I made this card hoping to inspire you to participate in the new challenge over at PCD, themed "Christmas Flowers".

Materials:
* Scalloped base card
* Platypus Creek Digitals Poinsettia, coloured with Promarkers
* Crafter's Companion Iridescent Glitter Spray
* Basic Grey Jovial DP, distressed with Vintage Photo Distress Ink and Distressing Tool
* K&Co Christmas Cheer Tag Pad, distressed with Vintage Photo Distress Ink
* Eline's Winterhuis Stamp Set
* Ribbon & Gems from Stash

As usual, you have two weeks to play along, hope to see you there!

Challenges:
* There She Goes (Tag You're It)
* Crimbo Crackers (Anything Goes)
* Wags 'n Whiskers (Christmas)
* Addicted to Stamps (Christmas)
* Forever Friends (Glitter & Sparkle)
* Lexi's Creations (Christmas)
