Incy Wincy Designs Challenge #91 Buttons and bows

Hey all, so sorry I have been so useless the past couple of weeks with my blog, had a lot going on here and not able to get my head strait! But hopefully things are calming down now and normality should return sooner rather than later! 

anyway onto the challenge this week over at Incy Wincy Designs! 

We are sponsored by the wonderful Sassy Studio Designs! The digis are wonderful and I think I will have to have a shopping spree there soon!!! 

Sassy Studio Designs is a fresh new company. We have been designing and selling for less than a year, and we have been kindly received into the community of digi stampers and crafters. I started designing images shortly after I started stamping, reason being...I didn't hardly like anything else out there I was a young adult woman at the time I was engaged, had no kids, I wanted fun sexy images that I would enjoy using and my friends and hubby would enjoy receiving. I designed images for 2 other digi stamp companies when my wonderful hubby kept trying to get me to go out on my own. So in June 2009 thanks to the few faithful followers I had, Sassy Studio Designs was born! It has been a wonderful journey starting my own store. We have just grown so much these past months.I still try to keep with my original philosophy and reason for designing stamps, make them fun and keep them sassy...and yes sometimes even sexy! Lindsay 

This week the prize is four digis of your choice! If you have time pop over and take a look at what they have to offer! This week we were given a couple of images to play with, I chose to use Sassy Skater! She looks so cool!!! 

I chose to give her a funky hair colour, it came out a bit more peach than I wanted it too! But I still think it looks good, the papers I have used are from my stash, I know that the background is a Bo bunny Paper, the blue is the reverse side of the paper.  I also used a pink/orange harlequin paper.  the ribbon is a SU Mistletoe from a  set i purchased at Christmas.  

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

Craft your Passion - Show us your layers

The Crazy Challenge - Three Different papers

Pollycraft Chalenge Blog - Fun and games

Well I hope you will join us this week over at Incy Wincy Designs! i will get back on track and be posting again soon

Incy Wincy Designs Challenge #84 Spring is in the air!

'SPRING'

So we would like to see all those bright colours and 'spring' creations!

Onto my creation for the week! I used my Tombo pens to colour the yellow and black as I don't have a black pro-marker, so you can guess what i'm going out to buy this week, I have no idea how I don't posses a black pro-maker! but the rest of the bear was coloured using caramel and tam pro-markers, the paint can was done with xxxx and the paint with poppy.  

I used yellow and black bazzill card stock to create my card base, I cut 2'' strips of yellow and placed them evenly apart across the black bazzill!  The puddles of paint I added by cutting a 'random' shape from a bit of white paper and coloured it red.  The little mirror I purchased last week from 'The Works', there are 6 in a pack and they were only 69p!

Incy Wincy Designs Challenge # 83 Die Cuts or Punches

Morning everyone, well here I am posting again for you! Mondays are a 'MAD POSTING DAY' for me, all the challenges seem to start on a Monday! Oh well, at least it gives me the rest of the week to hop around to all of those of you the join us on Incy Wincy Designs!

Well this is my first post for Incy Wincy,  As you may know last week they asked me if I would like to join their DT, I am so honoured that they chose me.  So onto this week's challenge, we are sponsored by 

Peggy Loves Vintage

and the prize is a set of Die Cuts.

Here is a bit about Peggy;

I'm lucky enough to be a retired grandma who spends the day working with my vintage card collection. My husband and I have shared almost 37 years together and we have 2 sons and a daughter and 2 glorious grandkids that turn 4 and 7 in May.

I started collecting Vintage Greeting Cards quite by accident. I was helping with an Aunt's estate sale and ran across her Vintage Greeting Card collection. The images on the Vintage Cards were so bright and cheerful that I just fell in love with them. As my collection grew and provided such joy and entertainment for me, I knew that others would get as much out of them as I did. So I decided I'd share my collection thus, the birth of PeggyLovesVintage.

Each card is carefully scanned at a 600 dpi resolution and saved in .jpg format. I only scan cards that are free of any copyright restrictions. I keep each and every card, so if any question ever arise I can provide documentation that this is truly the case.

Special software is not required to use my images. If you have printed out a picture from a digital camera, it’s pretty much the same concept and just as easy. Of course if you are so inclined, and if you do have imaging software, you can clone, cut and paste and even change the colors on the image.

The possibilities are endless, so please take a moment and visit my web store by clicking below or copy and paste the link into your browser. So sit back, relax and enjoy your journey back in time.

Please if you have time pop across to her shop and see the beautiful images she has! Well onto my creation for the week, I struggled a bit this week as I feel my little bug has gone walk bouts again, but I managed to create something! I used Centura pearl Card for all the backings, the scalloped circle was cut with my nestabilities I thought this image was lovely for Mothers day so I have created a mothers day card! 

I printed the image twice so I could layer it, I could have done with more layers, but I know for next time! I used some rhinestones round the edge of the scallops to add some detail, i did also used a sanding block around the edge to break the colours up a bit, you can see that clearer in the picture below!

Well I hope that I have inspired you to join us this week at Incy Wincy Designs, why not pop over and take a look at what the rest of the team created! Their cards are just beautiful! 

Thanks for taking the time to look!
