WMS Pajama Party Take 2!

Morning (again!). I'm back with a card for the Bedtime Story sketch and the Art Deco challenge over at WMS Pajama Party!

 Here's the sketch:

And here's my Art Deco take on it:

I have used Wisteria Wonder ink and card, and stamped the background using the two little diamond designs from Art Deco Backgrounds.

The profile of the elegant lady is from Putting on the Ritz, as is the sentiment.

I finished off with some black striped ribbon, and some pearls.

Thanks for stopping by,

WMS October Pajama Party

Happy Saturday all! I'm here today with a few cards for this month's Waltzingmouse Stamps Pajama Party.

If you are new to WMS, hop over to the blog at Waltzingmouse Makes, and check out the challenges!

Fist off I have made a couple of cards for the Greenish Halloweenish challenge.

For my first card I have used a pumpkin die from Serendipity Stamps layered onto a square spellbinders die cut.

I added a little Opera Tag with a sentiment from Cicely at Halloween, and added a greeting inside using the same set.

Next up I made a CAS card, nice and flat for posting!

This time I used images from Halloween Party and Midnight Feast. I stamped the images in Lucky Limeade and Tuxedo Black, and added a few green gems to the cauldron bubbles.

Well, there are my Halloween entries, now I've got another post to make for anther of the WMS challenges!

I would like to enter the Pumpkin die card and the Happy Halloween cards into this week's Tuesday Throwdown challenge, which is to use Pumpkins, and to Card Crafter's Circle, which has the theme Pumpkin Patch, and to CASology Challenge with the cue word Pumpkin!

Thanks for stopping by,

WMS Pajama Party #2

Hi all, remember me?? I've been missing in action for a loooong time - nothing serious or anything, just loads happening to my house and I had to pack my craft stuff away back in June!

We've had a conservatory built, and a new kitchen installed, as well as trying to decorate the whole of downstairs, and ripping up the flooring..sigh. Well, we still have a lot of decorating to sort and finish, flooring to still sort out, but the kitchen is finished, and the conservatory is almost almost done...just got a bit of glossing (actually lots!) and the small matter of wallpapering the wall!

So last month I completely missed out on the first Waltzingmouse Stamps Pajama party, which is replacing the previous Blog Waltzes.

Claire has introduced the idea of running 5 challenges at once - four of which run for 24 hours as we are given the details a couple of weeks in advance to prepare, and the 5th one is a sketch.

I obviously haven't been able to get at my stuff (mumble mumble), so my entry today is for the sketch, and thankfully it's a nice easy one lol!

I dragged all my craft stuff out, and searched for my newer sets from Claire - I still can't find my glue gun or score board, so I made the card base with my bare hands, I can improvise well lol!

Here's my make:

 I used some polka dot paper from My Minds Eye, and cut the ovals using my nesties.

I used Not Quite Navy card for the mat, and stamped the feathers from Fine Feathers set in Certainly Celery, Gumball Green and Midnight Muse, hand cut them, and attached to the card.

I added a strip of Black Chevron Twill and Turquoise satin ribbon from The Ribbon Reel, and added a little bow to the feather cluster. Finally I added some Ice stickles to the feather spines and around the scallop edge.

Here are a few pics of the chaos I had to create in this morning, and why I haven't been around much ;-/

 My craft stuff that I pulled out of the under stairs cupboard...

 This will be my craft room, but need new flooring and furniture first!

 More crafty mess!!

The reason why! I didn't have a picture of the kitchen on this set of pics, so I will try to take some later.

Right, well I have a gazillion and one things to get on with, so that's all from me, until Monday when I'm back with a post for The Ribbon Reel Challenge, bye for now
