Sweet Stampin' - Girly but NO pink

Hi Guys

Sorry for scarcity of posts, been a busy time. 

Mum ended up in hospital over the new year which wasn't great.

Over at Sweet Stampin' today we have a new Challenge.

Girly but no Pink.

Sponsored by The Ribbon Girl

And don't forget the monthly sponsor Cuddly Buddly.

This is a good one as my best mate and my daughter don't do pink.

I've used Saturated Canary's Thank You

Coloured in my fav Aqua and Red with Promarkers.

The sentiment is a Prima stamp, buttons and card stock from stash.

Paper is from BoBunny Alora collection.

I'd like to enter it at

Good luck

Sweet Glamour

Hi Guys

Over at Sweet Stampin' we want you to get your Glam on.

My Mum's Craft Shop is sponsoring Glitz and Glamour.

I've used Saturated Canary - Double Take coloured with Promarkers.

Die cut using Memory Box - Small Debutante Frame and

Small Felicity Frame.

I mounted it on an easel fold card with Bo Bunny - Enchanted papers.

I used the diamond paper as the "floor" because it made me think of a ballroom.

Ribbon and ribbon slide from our monthly sponsor The Ribbon Girl

I used jeweled brads to hold it open. 

Plus I added gems around the frame. 

Then stamped a Prima sentiment in the ready made frame in the paper design.

I had planned to add a gem swirl to the bottom left but I lost them somewhere.

They'll turn up eventually.

My Girl's Birthday Card

Evening All.

If you pop by regularly you'll know that it was my little girls birthday earlier this month.

Unfortunately it came at the end of The Vomiting Week so she didn't get a personalised card but one which I'd started for a Shabby Chic challenge but decided was going to be Vintage rather than Shabby so left off. It got stuck together the eve of her birthday. 

The image is Saturated Canary - Violet Vintage.

Coloured with Promarkers 

The paper is My Minds Eye - Blush

Ribbon and lace from The Ribbon Girl

Sentiment is computer generated.

Pearls from stash

She's completely different from poor deceased Mookie.

Creative Craft Challenge - numbers

Sorry it's late. Been cleaning up vomit since Friday and spent last night with my own head in a bucket.

Creative Craft Challenge has the new theme of Numbers. 

Use them how you like for a chance at the fab sponsors prize from Melonheadz.

I did have a sponsors image coloured up but the illness meant it never got put together. But luckily I had a card already made for one of Emma's teachers that fit the theme.

Image with sentiment is Saturated Canary - Grow

I got her as a freebie but she's now in the shop.

(If you don't follow your fav digi designers you should, 

lots of them give out Freebies that are only available for short times before going in the shop.)

Coloured by Promarkers

Background is a Cuttlebug embossing folder.

Purple, bingo, friend and flowers.

It's great getting the kids back to school and having time to play. 

Got several cards done tho you can't get to see them all yet.

This one was commissioned by my sister-in-law for her friends 50th 

and the brief was purple, bingo, friend, flowers and no age.

Here is what I came up with

Image is Saturated Canary- Blanche. She's a favourite of mine for the more mature lady.

Coloured with Promarkers and those folds took awhile!

I used Spellbinder Nesties- labels 8 and Decorative labels 8 for her frame. 

Fancy Tags 2 for the sentiments. One is LOTV and the other computer generated.

Memory Box Chloe stem, Tim Holtz embossing folder, Lace, pearls and flowers from stash to embellish.

She's not my normal style but she got me a big hug so job done.

Valentine

I know I've been a bit scarce recently but another couple of nights in Yorkhill and another death in the family have prevented me doing as much as I'd like.
But I do have a few things in various stages of completion.

First up is this little lady and guess what...... It's a Saturated Canary image.

She's Love letters I've coloured her with Promarkers. The papers are from the BO Bunny Enchanted Collection. Which I love a lot it's so versatile.

I've embellished with ribbon, gems and flowers from stash.

Cold and Frosty

That's the weather and the Challenge over at Christmas at Sweet Stamping.

I normally leave my Crimbo cards till the last possible moment so I've decided to spare myself some stress by starting early (really early!) and a challenge is just the thing.

This is another Saturated Canary ( can't help it, I'm addicted!) Snow Blower. Coloured with Promarkers.

I added sparkly snowballs and snowy glitter and twinkly ribbon. Isn't she cute!

I'd also like to share her at

Creative Craft Challenges- New Beginnings

Happy New Year.

Hope you managed to get through the Holidays without one of the horrid bugs that are going about.
We weren't so lucky!

Anyway we all seem hale at the moment so fingers crossed it lasts.

This weeks challenge at Creative Craft Challenges is New Beginnings.
Sponsored by Crafty Ribbons. Go have a peek at the lovely stuff they sell.

New Job, House, Baby, Wedding, Traveling would all fit. I went  with a New Baby card. Mostly because I need one.

This card is for the daughter of a family friend. Her Mother lost her long fight with illness on the last Sunday of the year and little Jude arrived on the Wednesday. Such a bitter sweet time.
So New Beginnings seemed apt

The image is a Saturated Canary - New Baby. Coloured with Pro and Flex markers.

 

 

The Ribbon, string and charm are from Stash

Paper is MME Gnome Sweet Home

Sentiment is computer generated.

Go away!
Doubt that'll work. Could do with an Indian Summer here. It's blooming freezing but I refuse to turn the heating on yet.

Cupcake Crafts Challenge

There is a new challenge up over on Cupcake Craft Challenge this morning.

Welcome to anyone who has popped over from there.
I'm Sandra, married stay at home Mum of 2 with a serious paper habit.
I'm very proud to have been asked to be a Guest Design Team member and hope you like my cards.

My take on todays challenge - Bright as a Button.

I've used Ava - a freebie Saturated Canary digi image. She's coloured with Promarkers. ( I need to work on balloons tho!)

I thought she was just perfect with the buttons on her shoes. It's a clean and simple card but all the colours make it look a bit more.

Paper is Echo Park, Sentiment is Lili of the Valley, Ribbon and Buttons are from my stash.

I'd love for you to leave me a comment

Hugs
