Stamps And Smiles - #8 Challenge

I loved using the sketch from Stamps and Smiles this week! So much so ... I did two cards straight off :)

For the boys card I used 'Rock Star' Luca from Sugar Nellie. Bazzill cardstock. The papers are all from The Paper Loft - 'Well Worn' collection. The sentiment and mats are created using Stampin' UP! products.

I used one of my Miss Anya's from The Greeting Farm for the girls card. Bazzill cardstock again and papers from Cosmo Cricket - 'Storytime' collection. The sentiment is the same one from Stampin' UP! (Very Versitile set) and the mats have been created using the new oval punches .. again from Stampin' UP!.

I like both of these cards. The sketch was very easy to use and I will definitely use this one again :)

Stamp Something Challenge

This is my attempt at last week's Stamp Something challenge. I have used one of the Gorjuss Girls from Sugar Nellie - coloured with Promarker pens. The papers are from Adornit - Carolee's Creations, the Families Forever collection. The sentiment is a Letraset rubon.

Charisma Cardz Challenge - #12

This week's challenge from Charisma Cardz is 'My Favourite Things'. A really easy challenge for me because my favourite things are my stamps :)

The papers used are from Daisy Bucket Designs - Garden Gate collection ... and I love them :) The stamp used is another Gorjuss Girl from Sugar Nellie which I've coloured using Promarkers. I have used the new Oval punches from Stampin' UP! for the sentiment mats and the sentiment stamp is also from their 'Very Versitile' stamp set. The cardstock is Bazzill.

The Sugar Bowl - Challenge #7

My entry for the latest Sugar Bowl challenge 'Spring or Easter'. A spring birthday card .... :)

The stamp used is by Elisabeth Bell called 'Sweet n Sassy' from Sugar Nellie. The papers are all from the Katlin Collection by Crate Paper. The sentiment is from the 'Circle of Friendship' stamp set from Stampin' UP! I have also used the Scalloped circle and circle punches from Stampin' UP! to create the mats used with the sentiment. The cardstock used is from DCWV.

Our Creative Corner - Challenge

I discovered another challenge site this week and decided to use the sketch. The sketch actually has an oval in the middle of it BUT ... I don't do ovals .... lol! Circles are hard enough, but ovals .... not a chance. I've tried them and it wasn't good! So until I get a die cutter option sorted ..... no ovals :)

Have used the same Magnolia stamp again .... sorry! Must try and get hold of some different ones soon :) I've coloured her with Promarker pens as usual. The papers are all from Fancy Pants and the cardstock this time is DCWV. The sentiment and sentiment mat are created using the Stampin' UP! Cute and Curly stamp set and punch. These aren't available in the UK unfortunately, but I have a super friend who bought them for me when she was on hols in the States recently ....... thank you Alison xxx

Charisma Cardz Challenge - #11

Another new challenge site for me today. This time Charisma Cardz.

I used Piggy Tales papers for both of these ... I made 2 cards, because I liked the papers so much :). They are all from the Gretel Collection. The stamped images are from Sugar Nellie and are by Leanne Ellis. The sentiment stamp is from a new stamp set by Stampin' UP! - Very Versatile (available from the mini catalogue). All the cardstock is from Bazzill. Both images are coloured using Promarkers.

Sunday Sketch - Crafts 4 Eternity #24

Another challenging sketch from Crafts 4 Eternity this week. I really hate these circles! I'm going to have to try and sort out a proper die cutter or something, so I can do them properly :)

I love this Magnolia stamp .... I think it's the puppy :) Cardstock used is Bazzill and the printed papers are from My Mind's Eye - Wild Asparagus collection. Sentiment is made using Stampin' UP! punches and stamp (from Circle of Friendship set).

Sketch Saturday #43

I used Scenic Route papers for this week's challenge from Sketch Saturday. I really like the stars and stripes look! The little button coasters are from Imagination Project. The stamped image is of course from Sugar Nellie :) 'Rockstar' Luca .... he's fast becoming a favourite for me! The blue cardstock is Bazzill.

Stamps And Smiles - #7 Challenge

For this week's Stamps And Smiles challenge, I have used another of my Gorjuss Girls. The sentiment was created using Stampin' UP! Oval punches (from the mini catalogue). The ribbon and cardstock are also Stampin' UP! All the papers are from The Laundry Line collection from My Minds Eye.
