Love is All Around

I have decided to share with you a very simple card I made for my friends wedding back in August.  They had a black and white theme and I really wanted to keep that going with my card to them. 

I was chuffed to bits when I finished it.  The image was a free printable from a google searh.  I die cut it  along with the scolloped edge and them printed the details onto the card. 

I would like to enter this card to the following challenges;

STARS

Yep, anything with stars on.  We are so looking forward to seeing you creations and I'm hoping that I may inspire you now! 

I don't know when or where I brought the paper I have used for this challenge - but it was perfect! 

I used some glitter card from my stash and mounted the paper onto it

When making my card I was singing 'twinkle twinkle'… yep mad I know but then it inspired me to write this little verse that is on the front of the card. 

I thought it fitted very well! I die cut the wording and then brushed the edges with one of my ink pads.

My Mums Craft Shop - Ice Cream Flavours!

Morning all! Well what a busy few days - trying to catch up with DT stuff as well as catch up with friends and family - feel like I haven't stopped - and I don't think I'm going to for a while!  The holiday now seems like it was a lifetime ago, and the summer holidays are filling fast with parties and little bits and bobs!! Got busy times ahead and can't wait is all I can say! 

Anyway back to why I'm here! Firstly thank you to everyone that joined in last week - remember to pop over to the MMCS Blog to see if you are a winner, now cause of getting back off the holiday I didn't get much time to comment but I hope to find some time to get about and see all the entries!!! 

Onto this weeks challenge.... over at My Mums Craft shop were looking for your creations using.... 

Ice Cream Flavours

Our sponsor is 

My Mums Craft Shop is sponsoring this challenge and is offering the winner a £10 voucher to spend in store! 

OK, so for this challenge I had to first indulge in my all time favourite Ice Cream... the one and only 

Oh yes... after all the work I have had done on my teeth I can finally enjoy a bit of Ice Cream.  Now as you may very well understand that I had to eat the whole tub to really see the colours in the tub (Thats what I told hubby!)... and one tub was not enough, but I think it really helped with the end result! 

I have used the beautiful Sarah Kay First Kiss available here.  I so can't wait to get some more Sarah Kay stamps - I am so in love with them at the moment!

So do you see the cookie dough?? I hope you do - my hips have had to suffer for this LOL!!! As I said I'm quite impressed with how it turned out! Sorry for the pants photos - hubby has left the 'long lens' on the camera and I have no idea how to change it! The papers are from my stash, one is Bo Bunny Weekend Market available here - never used this paper stash till now! 

The image was coloured with copics

E50, E51, E53, E55 and E57

I decided that a monochromatic theme was best! I can't wait to colour this image up again! So lovely - all of Sarah Kay stamps are lovely! The sentiment is from a clear set I have with no labels on them... so no idea as to what company make them, but the sayings in the set are lovely!

I know you don't find them in Ice Cream... but I had to add some butterflies! This is the wonderful Martha Stewart 3 in 1 Punch - Butterfly available here, I am so in love with it at the moment! 

Well I hope I have inspired you to join us this week over at My Mums Craft Shop Challenges.  I can't wait to see what flavours everyone else come up with - remember to pop to the MMCS Blog and see the DT's amazing creations!

and the challenge is.....  This week we have a photo to be used as colour inspiration

Now I know my photography skills are not grate, but neither is the weather, I took this photo four times before it remotely looked any good - oh where has the sunshine gone?! 

The image is from Saturated Canary I coloured her with copics.  The die cut is a Memory Box die, and the butterfly punch is MS available from here at My Mums Craft Shop. The papers are from My Minds Eye.  Here is a better photo of the image - I did have to cheat and 'lighten' the photo!  

Well I hope you like her and that you will join us this week over at My Mums Craft Shop Challenge Blog, I cat wait to see everyone else's creations! 

See You Soon

Now I think this was a toughie - I can't let on to all these beautiful stamps that I have ONE that I like the most - cause I like them all! OK so one does get used a lot at the moment.... Yes you guessed it, the gorgeous 'A little bit of Country' from Sarah Kay

I couldn't resist - I am trying to get my hands on a few more of these beauties - there are a few I have in mind - but everywhere I look they are out of stock :( - I think its trying to tell me something!  The die is from Die-namics - I have got to sit down and cut some more - they are SO cute and I have layered them up for the first time!

All the papers were mounted onto kraft card stock and the edges were distressed using my SU distressed and TH Tea Dye ink pad!  The image was coloured with copics; 

E000, E00, E02, R20, 

E33, E35, E37

V28, V22

R47, C4, C7

The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts and the papers are available form My Mums Craft Shop, they are Prima 6x6 Sun Kiss Collection.  Well I don't think I can tell you much more! I hope you like my creations.  I would like to enter this card into the following challenges;

More Big News!

** I apologise - I forgot to schedule this!**


Morning! How are we all, well my trip to the dentist ended with antibiotics, they are starting to work but still in lots of pain, keeping on with the painkillers and hopeful that only another 24 hours or so till I no longer have to take them! 

Well its been a busy week and I confess that I have got myself behind with all my DT work due to my teeth!  But I do have some more big news to share with you.  While being a vegetable I had a message from the Lovely Carlyann from Sweet and Crafty asking me if I would like to join the DT over at My Mums Craft Shop Challenges - I applied a couple of weeks ago and completely forgot that I had! and so what more could I say - Have you seen the talent over there? I just had to say yes! 

I didn't think that I was going to be able to share the news this week due to my tooth but I managed to put something together to share with you today! Before I share my creation with you let me tell you about this weeks challenge.  

'For The Boys'

Yes - we are looking for your creations for all the boys out there.  Our sponsor this week is the wonderful 

Digistamp Boutique

I hope you will pop over to the shop to take a look at what they have to offer! Some lovely stamps over there! Well I suppose I best share my creation.  On the 28th June my amazing husband and I will have been together 8 years! (I'm sure I would get less for murder - only kidding!) I can't believe that 8 years ago we didn't really know each other and here we are married with two amazing little girls (well sometimes!) So I have made him a card - just to jog his memory! 

I have used the beautiful 'A Little bit of Country' from Sarah Kay, the image was coloured with copics; 

E50, E51, E53, E55 E57, and a splash of R20

The Image was cut out using Spellbinders scalloped ovals, they have been sat in my stash for quite a while and never really been used! 

I used Tim Holtz Tea Dye to distress the paper the image is stamped on,  the papers are Prima Sun Kiss 6x6 stack and the mini flourish in the corner is cut using Memory Box Elegant Scrollwork all these are available from My Mums Craft Shop. The flowers are a mix of Wild Orchid Crafts and some I purchased from e-bay a long time ago! 

I just had to sneak a close up of this in - at first it was meant to be a 'trial' to see if I could colour in sepia effect - I was so impressed when it turned out the way it did! I would like to enter this card into the following challenges; 

Crafting for all Seasons- #29 For Men (1st wk)

Desmet Designs -  For the Men and Boys (ends 29th June)
Scrappy Frogs -  Celebrate Men (ends 30th June) 
ATCs & Cards With Attitude -  Anything Goes / Fathers Day 

Thank you for stopping by, I hope to see you again soon!  If you get time pop across to the My Mums Craft Shop Challenges and take a peek at the very talented DT creations and hopefully join us with the fab challenge!
