Use A Wryn

Hi All,

Challenge time again at Tiddly Inks, create a project using a Wryn image.  That wasn't too hard for me as have I quite a lot of the Wryn digi images.

This card is also doubling up as my entry into this weeks Retro Sketches challenge.  CAS cards, nice and simple....makes me happy lol. 

Hope you all have a great day.

Thanks for stopping by :)

CAS(E) this Sketch #29

Hi All,

It's never too early to start making Christmas cards so I used this weeks sketch at CAS(E) this Sketch to get a jump start.  I dusted of the Snowflake Flurries stamp set from Papertrey Ink and finally inked them up.  I got this set before Christmas last year but for some reason didn't use them.  

An attempt at a one layer card failed miserably (as it usual does for me!) but I managed to save it by adding some patterned paper and a panel of snowflakes over top.  Still not 100% happy with how it turned out but because I ended up spending so much time on it, I didn't want to bin it lol.    

Thanks for stopping by :)

Kiss Me

Hi All,

Well another weekend has come and gone in a blink of an eye.  If only the working week were the same.

I have been following the CASology blog for some time now and decided that it was about time that I played along.  This week's cue card is Royal.  I pulled out my Paper Smooches "A Little Lovin" stamp set and inked up the frog and crown image.  As the saying goes...you have to kiss a lot frogs before you find your prince.

Hope you all have a fantastic week and thanks for stopping by :)

Happiness

Hi All,

Another week, another CAS(E) this Sketch Challenge.

I just can't seem to stop using the Mama Elephant stamps that have recently found their way into my stash.  I'm just loving them!  I just placed another order a couple of days ago so a few more are on their way to me as we speak :)

We still haven't invested in a new DSLR so I have been borrowing my daughters lately.  A good camera makes all the difference but I am having trouble finding good lighting in my house.  I'll just keep trying different places at different times of the day until I find the perfect balance so please bear with me....trial and error.

Thanks for stopping by :)

Felicity

Hi All,

I have some news to share with you all today.  I am now a member of the Angie Delarie Design Team!

For my first project I made a bottle tag with one of Angie's new digi's, Felicity from the 50's and paired her up with a sentiment from WPlus9's Folk Art Florals stamp set.

You should all head on over to Angie's blog to check out all the projects from the talented DT members and while you are there, have a look at all of Angie's unique digital images.

CAS(E) This Sketch #27

Hi All,

I'm back again to share with you all my entry into this week's CAS(E) this sketch challenge. 

On Thursday I received in the mail my first order from Mama Elephant.  I made this card with a few of the stamps from the On Target set.  I am absolutely loving this set! 

You should do yourself a favour and check out the Mama Elephant blog to get sneak peak of their current release.  I've got my eye on one already!

Hope you all have a fantastic day :)

Happy Mother's Day

Hi All,

Happy Mother's Day to all the wonderful mum's out there.  I hope you all had a wonderful day and got spoilt rotten.

Would you believe that after all my rushing around yesterday to make a card and get it posted on my blog before the retrosketch challenge closed, I forgot to actually link it up to the challenge!  And it didn't dawn on me until last night....oh well.

I have been following the Fusion Card Challenge blog since it started but haven't played along yet.  So I decided to have a go this week.  I used Jackie's sketch but changed it up a bit.  

Anyways, it been a big day here today and I think its just about time for bed.

Thanks for stopping by :)

Retrosketches #62

Hi All,

Dropping in quickly with a card that I have just finished.  I'm leaving it very last minute for Mother's Day this year.  I still have to get my mother and mother-in-law their pressies and it is almost 2:00 pm here in Brisbane.....eek!  

I used the current sketch from retrosketch #62 for the layout of this card and will be entering it into this week's challenge.

Anyways, I better get myself off to the shops.  

Hope you all have a great day and thanks for stopping by.

Hello My Pretty

Hi All,

I'm dropping in today to share with you all my entry into Tiddly Inks current challenge.  You have to create a project using a movie or book as inspiration.  I've used The Wizard Of Oz as my inspiration for this card.  I coloured up Whitchy Wryn's face in green just like the Wicked Witch of the West and had the idea to cover her shoes peeking out from the gown with some red stickles to resemble Dorothy's ruby shoes.  I also used up some Graphic 45 The Magic of Oz paper that I had in my stash.

Hope you all have a wonderful day.

Thanks for stopping by :)

CASE Study DT Challenge

Hi All,

So CASE Study are looking for new design team members and I thought......why not give it a go!

You are to create a project inspired by your own Muse, the challenge being to step out of your comfort zone.  But who to choose?  The are so many wonderfully talented women out there!  So after a lot of thought I decided to go with Laurie Willison.

Here's my card:

And this is Laurie's card:

Although they are very similar, one layer cards are quite a challenge for me.  I love them and have been inspired numerous times by lots of different paper crafters but for some reason I just can't seem to pull them off.  Many a card has ended up in the bin!  So when I came across this post on Laurie's blog I thought I'd give the one layered card another go.  And I'm glad I did cause I'm really happy with how it turned out.  I'm also glad that I challenged myself again on something that I had pretty much give up on.  I resisted the urge to layer....yay!

And who knows, you might even see a few more in the future.

Thanks for stopping by.
Pauline :)
