Just Jawing Money Cards

Hi all, thought I would show you these money cards that I made last night using the just jawing set. The skull has been cut out and put on 3D dimensionals. Quite pleased with this idea as we do send pressies overseas and ends up costing as much again to post.

The card below we received from a friend thought I would show you as it really is cute!

Spoilt Bunnies

Hi again, thought I should show you the inspiration behind my Fathers Day Card, Rosanna had a busy day baking yesterday (yes the kitchen was in a lovely mess) not LOL, he he.

The reason to bake was Poppy's 3 month birthday, only hoping this isn't going to happen every 3 months for both thats 8 parties a year! She had lots of fun experimenting with the icing in making the different colours, owe 1 cake was cherry and coconut and the other was with raisens and small choc chip, bang goes the diet again!

Hope you all have had a great weekend, see you all next week. Thanks for stopping by, Happy Crafting, Take Care, X:)

Divalicious Colour challenge #1 and Magnolia Down Under Challenge #20

Hi all, finally combined two challenges, so feeling pretty pleased with myself. First challenge was the Magnolia Down Under Challenge #20, create a Father's Day Card using any Magnolia image, this cute image came from the talented Debbie P at stamp camp, now hubby says the card is too girly, but every picture tells a story and the story is my dad spent a lot of time with my daughter talking about rabbits and designing her bunny hutch (it had to have an upstairs). Then a full weekend making it with her, though when I called in, it looked like she was the foreperson and my poor dad was the workman, but the point being they had a fantastic time. So this is Rosanna in disguise and Charlotte (one of the bunnies).

I have combined it using the Divalicious Colour Challenge #1. This challenge is open till 31st August 09.
Barely Banana, Cameo Coral, Old Olive and Pumpkin Pie.

You should go and visit another talented lady Kellie, she has decided to sponsor the Magnolia Down Under Challenge #20.

Midnight Madness Challenge Week #15 - (MMSC15)

Hi all, finally got to use one of my digital stamps from Sunshine Stamps, these are absolutely wonderful digital images, you should go visit their shop, they are fairly new in setting up and add new images each week, they are sponsoring this weeks Midnight Madness Challenge, go visit Priscilla for full details and see what the Design Team have come up with, I first saw these on Debbie P's blog she has done some lovely creating with them. This is this weeks sketch:

and here is what I have done using my newly purchased HaySeedHank, as soon as I saw it, I just had to have him, made this card with my brother-in-law in mind, who unfortunately has just has his birthday so will keep this for next year.
Materials used various card stock, I have used Stampin Up Markers and Water Colour Pencils, blender pen, silver embossing on the wheels and engine, also crystal effects to try and give him a shine. Then sponged the sky and ground, you can also see I turned the sketch on its side.

Double Spinner Card

Hi all, finally finished my sister's boyfriends 40th Card, he is a supporter of Queens Park Rangers (English team), got the idea to do a footy card from Leonie and Philippa, just got complicated because they have two strips a home strip (Blue & white, touch of red) and an away strip (red and black with a touch of white) if who they are playing are the same colours, how complicated!!! Anyway this is the result, need to invest in some good alphabet stamps, thought about trying to add some bling, but Neil is not a bling person!

New Home and 1st Birthday

This card was made for friends moving into their new home, just cross with myself in my haste to get if finished forgot to put home sweet home on the roof, for the life of me I couldn't think what was missing only when I looked at the photo I realised, too late then!!

Delicious Diva's 1st Challenge

Hi all, thought I would have a go at Delicious Diva's 1st Challenge, created by the talented Kellie and Kristy, not quite what I had in mind, think I should have had the papers more equal, pleased with Tilda (which my friend Emma let me stamp off). Sorry for the quality of picture took tonight, the ribbon and papers are you guessed it shades of purple but, they look blue. The challenge finishes tomorrow so I am a little last minute. The sentiment says 'one person can make such a difference and that person is you'.

My First Workshop Party Cards

Hi all, just wanted to show you the cards I designed for my first workshop party, I wanted to make cards using only one stamp set. For the first card I used the very popular Great Friends set, these butterflies seem to be flying around on everyones blogs. I have used Riding Hood Red, Kiwi Kiss cardstock and inks, as you can see I put special effects on the leaves to try and create a dew look.

For the second card I used Season's Greetings, absolutely love this card, going to have great fun sending these out to my friends and family in England LOL! Kept with the In Colours again and used Pacific Point and Baja Breeze with Whisper White, then used the water colour pencils and blender pens.
