Sketch N Stash Challenge 57

I've made this for the Sketch N Stash Challenge 57 which had an optional extra of clean and simple. Well this is mostly white so it might count!

I wasn't sure what to do which is why I'm so late in entering (thank goodness you get two weeks) but yesterday a new stamp set popped through the letterbox. It's called Latte Love by Friskars. The coffee beans at the bottom are a Sizzlet die I've had for ages.

Freebie From Spyder's Corner

Lyn has a lovely free digi over at Spyder's Corner. You can also enter her Spot The Difference and possibly win a free digi from her shop - I was lucky enough to win last week. Colouring the images is a great way to spot the differences

Both these cards used Fizzy Moon papers and core-dinations cardstock

Waiting for Lunch 2

After the pictures in my last post, how could I resist this Cuddly Buddly image:

Papers are Sugar and Spice by Dovecraft and the greeting is by Wild Rose Studio

Waiting for Lunch!

Last time I was in Southampton, my neighbour gave me a couple of photographs of Millie and Buddy taken in his garden:

    

What can I say!

Sketch and Stash Challenge 56

I made this card last week for the challenge but completely forgot about uploading it. I've used a Pink Gem stamp that I bought sometime last year and for some reason has never been out of the packet - until now.

Coloured with Promarkers , a Sizzlet swirl for the corners and Nellie Snellen multi frame die for the greeting.

Inkadinkado Minis

I love these mini stamps from Inkadinkado. I stamped and coloured them a week ago and then had a session putting these quick cards together:

Heidi by Victoria Case

I've seen lots of cards using the Heidi digi image by Victoria Case. They are all wonderful but way out of my capabilities. Then I found a tutorial by Meesh and this is the result:

I didn't have the right greys so her hair is like a little old lady but I was quite pleased with the overall result and can see lots of things to be done better. I'm going to have another play while watching Tim on QVC today.

Sketch n Stash Challenge 55

This is my entry into the Sketch n Stash challenge 55. I've also entered it into the Crafters Reunited February Inspirationals. The Crafters Reunited challenge was to use a CD. I've not used any of mine for ages so this fitted both challenges well.

I've used Joanna Sheen's Ivory Cats CD. I'd forgotten what beautiful images there are on this set. I've printed the background in two sizes. Matted the smaller one on some coredinations punched with Martha Stewarts Doily Lace and finished with a Joys butterfly die and some gems

Darkroom Door Valentines

I know I'm a bit late showing this but it was a last minute make for OH and I had to pinch it back to take the photograph. I love this Darkroom Door set - Prague Vol 1. I wanted to show OH that I get value out of my stamps so I used it for his Birthday and Christmas cards last year.

For this card I cut the aperture with a Nestie. The image was stamped on the base card and the aperture laid on top with foam pads. The hearts are punched with the Stampin Up Heart to Heart punch

Just need to do an anniversary card in June and he'll have a full set.

Sketch n Stash Challenge 54

I saw this challenge on Jackie's blog so thought I'd have a go.

The image is from Woodware's Don't Be Blue set (which sees it's first use since being bought) coloured with Promarkers. Papers are My Mind's Eye (a freebie with Cardmaking and Papercraft last year). Finished with Spellbinders Lotus pendant die and a Sizzlit corner die
