Just Hitting the books

Hi there, how are you, got quite a post for you today as i have been spending some time blog hopping, BBMing folk and FB ing folk, and doing extra religious education in my spare time as i suppose i could do with some spiritual guidance before i start my degree in September. Also I hope to blog a bit more as i think it will help with my grammar, I have been told that this is very poor.

Thank goodness for spell checker eh, lol

So without further ado, I would like to share with you an 8x8 card

Digi stamp artwork is by Krista smith click on her name  to view her blog, I have coloured her in pro-markers and highlighted buttons, glasses and pearls on her glasses strap with crystal gloss papers are DCWV spring stack, with ribbon from dovercraft

and here’s another

The card base i cut away leaving a semi circle and added a scallop detail with 1inch circle punch outs then distresses this and covered with double sided cardstock, the sentiment is cut from stampin ups decorative label with a verse from MFT well read stamp set, and as always a close up or 2, I would like to enter this in to the following challenges

Papertake weekly: Anything goes

Craftyourpassionchallenges: Anything goes

thanks for stopping by

Pink petticoat

Totally love this blog so fresh and clean looking, why not check it out.

Two of a kind

When you have a 12x12” piece of card stock you can quite easily make two cards as i found doing this one i had too many images of a small nature so i decided to spilt them in to two different designs here’s what i come up with

The images are from Pink Petticoat from their reduced section and they will be retiring so grab yourself a bargain, i printed on to SU Whisper white cardstock which gave me a brilliant result except you have to leave it overnight to dry completely or it will smudge with your pens (whichever medium you prefer to use) water colouring is out of the question as it will buckle your paper and smear your image, papers are from lily pad and the ribbon was from a Thornton's chocolate box that was bought for mother day for me, which matched my cherry cobbler red cs perfectly (happy accident) so here’s the close ups

Happy crafting folks see you soon xx

Sizzling !!!

 

Well what can I say, this post has got everyone hot under the collar because, I'm now using the new stamps from Kenny k , and how awesome are his Ladies and Gents, simply said i wont be able to get enough, My challenge this week was to create something, with die cuts and punches and i think i have done it, i have given Devilish Donna a make over trying to make her look tame but no you cant make a leopard change its spots can you, I an also entering this card in the chance to win some gorgeous candy from the ribbon girl, totally love her blog and also her products,the theme of the challenge is Pink or Lilac so I chose Pink as it is my fave, so without further ado,

 

And here's a close up shot for you,

On this project the die cuts were Raindrop Echo Designs ticket sentiments, and punches were doily border from SU also Flower punch, 1/38 circle and 1/14 circle to make my button and flower. Good luck everyone who is joining in with the challenge and also good luck if you are entering for the design team this also is my entry for Kenny k’s Design team . This is also my entry for Diva’s by design challenge,  themed One for the girls.
