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!

Get Well Soon

Morning! Yes I have been so quiet this last week - still in pain with my teeth, they are not as bad but I am still having problems with one side - and they have now told me that I will need to have my wisdom teeth removed under general anaesthetic - SO not looking forward to that - all I know is that it 'should' be in the next 18 weeks :(  

Anyway I'm not here to talk about me! As you can imagine I have found it hard to find time to craft partly due to lack of sleep - but also as it hurts to look down.  I have been doing little bits here and there as that is all I have been able to do - so things have been very simple! 

Anyway one thing that I have managed to do is to make a get well card for a friend of mine - she was rather poorly and we were all worried about her.  So I made her a card - I didn't want it to scream 'Get Well Soon' as sometimes I don't think its what people want.  So I went rather plain and simple

The image is Sarah Kay 'Spring is Back' available here.  I completely forgot that I had this stamp stashed away - it was only because I purchased one a few weeks back that I started looking in my stash and came across her!  She was coloured with copics - due to 'the teeth' I haven't been taking many notes of what I'm using!  

I die cut the image using a spellbinders Lacey Ovals available here.  I have to say that I think this set of dies was one of the best purchases of 2012! I LOVE them and they just make such a difference to any creation!   

The butterfly is die cut from Die-namics Butterfly Die available here.  Again this is another of my favourite dies at the moment, I have boxes with these pre cut so I they are ready when I want them! 

Well I hope you like my card! while I remember I still have candy running and would love for as many of you as possible to join in, please take a look here.  There are more bits added - just not had time to take the photo - there are now two rubber stamps as well as an ink pad and all that you see - and if I make it to 250 followers a gift voucher will also be included!!! So please take a look! 

Before I go I would like to enter this card into the following challenges;

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;

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)

Love

Morning! what a shocking morning, after being in winter socks yesterday I am shocked to say that today I am wearing a summer dress... yes the sun has come out! I can't quite believe it myself! I thought I had been abducted this morning when I got up! 

Anyway I have been on a bit of a roll recently! Quite enjoying trying new things when colouring and colouring images that I never thought I could or would - and I have actually used a rubber stamp! Yes, another shock! I was quite scared as its been so long since I have used a clear stamp and well... it turned out kinda well! 

This is a beautiful new stamp from Sarah Kay, I have always loved her images but never been confident enough to colour them... in the past i have had her stamps and sold them on without even using them... but this one is different...

They are just the cutest couple ever! I struggled to find a nestie to fit them, I seem to have more square than round, must change that! The image was coloured using copics and the papers are from Prima Sun Kissed 6x6 stack.  The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts - (I'm slightly obsessed at the moment) the butterflies are cut using Die-namics Butterflies die.  The lace and rhinestones are just from my stash, the edges of the image were bruised with Tim Holtz Old Paper DI. 

Just had to share a close up of the image, so happy with her dress and his trousers, I can't wait to colour this image again! I hope you like it as much as I do, I would like to enter this card into the following challenges; 

Everybody Art Challenge - Roses

Wild Orchid Challenge - Anything Goes
