Simon meets Whimsy

Evening everyone! Hows your week gone? Not long till the weekend! Wohooo! I've made a really fun card to show you this evening!

I got the delicious DCWV Green Stack recently and decided today I'd stroked it enough and was time to play! The first thought when seeing the papers was that this adorable Whimsy Owl would just go perfectly-I think this owl is just the coolest owl image ever! The layout for the card is from Simon Says Challenge-tis Heidi's birthday today (Happy Birthday Heidi!!!) and there's a special prize for this weeks winner (I live in hope!). Am also entering this over at A Spoonful of Sugar as their theme this week is distressing, Practical Scrappers whose theme is stamps and Whimsy Challenges-they're theme is 'touchy feely' and over at Pollycraft Monday they want to see our animal creations!

Stuff: Whimsy Owl available here coloured with copics, DCWV The Green Stack available here (and on sale atm!), core'dinations cardstock, sewing machine, jute ribbon available here, mcgill and xcut flower punches, woodware grass punch, spacers available here, bling from stash, tim holtz distressing tool, distress ink in broken china.

Did you notice the cute clouds? They're actually from the Green stack too-that paper is such a fun collection-I just cut it out and went crazy with the silicone glue. hehe. Well that's it from me today, and I'll be back tomorrow with the my Stamp Something dt card so please come back and see me! Thanks so much for popping by and any comments you might leave-I love reading them and it makes me feel like i'm not just waffling onto myself! Huggles xxx

P.S. I mentioned earlier that I have 2 brand new copic ciao pens in light grape and green gray that are duplicates that I'd like to swap if you have any duplicates-just email or leave a comment otherwise I guess I'll pop em on ebay so I can get some newies. Thanks!

Happiness

This image makes me so happy when I see it! I just love the quirkiness of Diane Duda's stamps! The past two evenings I've just not been in the mood for creating though. I realised today this was probably due to mountain of stash on my craft table! I'm not a tidy worker by any means but because I do do alot of crafting and have a habit of not tidying up after it my desk can quickly become covered! So it was time to clear up! Now I have so much space!

I haven't played over at Sketch Saturday for a couple of weeks so thought I best remedy that! I've also combined a few other challenges:) At Whimsy Challenges they want to see your friendship cards (am just in the nick of time for entering this..again!), tuesday taggers (a newie to me) want to see flowers as do A Spoonful of Sugar, and Papertake weekly want to see creations with a theme of a season-I'm going for Summer!

Stuff: Sugarnellie stamp by Diane Duda 'Upside Down', coloured using copics, distress inks in shabby shutters and broken china, core'dinations card, Basic grey papers 'Lemonade collection', McGill flower punch, xcut flower punch, prima and papermania bling, studio g sentiment, BoBunny doublesided ribbon.

We had a fab day at the Farm Park on friday, leo loved feeding the animals! We all went on one of those big trampolines as well-so funny! My candy will be closing soon! I've absolutely loved reading all your comments on what has made you smile-all of em made me smile! I also had a lovely email today from a fellow crafter (if you're reading this Michelle-you really made my day!) which made me smile even more! Hope everyone has had a fantastic weekend-here in the UK we've been super lucky with the weather!

Spoonful of Sugar and Mojo Monday

Hope everyone has had a great bank holiday weekend?! I've had lots of fun-Saturday we had a lovely picnic with some friends we hadn't seen for ages and ages and had a looky round a car boot-found a gorgeous mirror that I'm going to do some bits and pieces to then will show you. Yesterday my nephew and his girfriend phoned me out of blue and said they were going to pop round which was lovely, hadn't seen them since my wedding in January. Then today which was hubbys birthday we went to the seaside which was lots of fun-Leo loved building sandcastles! How gorgeous has this weather been? Loving it! Above is piccy of Leo and Ian on the beach today!

Ok so onto the card....Over at A Spoonful of Sugar to celebrate being 1 yr old there is fab prizes to be won and the theme is celebration so I've made a birthday card with one of my gorjuss girls. I also followed the sketch over at Mojo Monday, I love their sketches! I used my new nesties too-I love them lots:) I actually forgot to take a pic of the inside so I may add one tomorrow if I remember, but it's basically just decorated with off cuts from the front and a label nestie to add a greeting to.

Materials: Basic Grey wisteria paper, Bazill bling cardstock, Sugar Nellie stamp gorjuss girl coloured with promarkers (aubergine, amethyst, lilac, olive green, magenta, ivory, blush, rose pink, and blossom), Prima flowers, nestie, distress inks (weathered wood and dusty concord) and paper lace.

Thanks for stopping by and for any comments you might leave-very much appreciated!

A Spoonful Full of Sugar

Been a few days since I've posted hasn't it. Haven't had much crafting time past few days :( But am back with a new card and a bit of excitement (well alot actually). This card is for Spoonful of Sugar, is the first time I've had a go at something over there and this weeks challenge was called touchy feely-all about textures. I think the roses, ribbon and brads definetly count for texture. This is the first outing for this cutie Tilda too-isn't she gorgeous! 

 

Materials: Basic grey wassail papers, Sandylion paper, Fiskars lace punch, BoBunny ribbon, Papermania brad, Magnolia Tilda image coloured with ProMarkers, handmade roses.

Ok...here's my fab news-I won the Sugar Bowl challenge!! Wohooooo. I couldn't believe it! If I could pick anything to win it would be something yummy from Sugar Nellie-they are my absolute fave. The challenge I won was to make a mens card and the prize was a mystery so can't wait to see what arrives! I shall take a piccy when it does though so you can see:)
