Stamp with us challenge card 2

I thought I would enter this card for the second challenge, it being "birthday". I feel this card would be suitable for this occasion or many others! I know I only posted it the other week but I was really pleased with how it turned out and this set has fast become and favourite from the mini catallogue. I have used Petal Pizzaz stamp set with the wording from Occassional Greeting, chocolate chip ribbon, jewelled brads and Sweet Always Paper

The link for Stamp with us is on the right ----->

Todays proper card is the Easter/Spring card I made my Mum, not the normal Eatster card but I really had the urge to get a House Mouse stamp out and tulips are out everywhere right now so the image was fitting for the season.







Paper, Cardstock, Punched Flowers and ribbon are all Stampin'Up!
Image is House Mouse, coloured with Pro Markers

I hope you all have a lovely Easter Sunday.

Beary Cute

These bears are very cute, another sample card. This is a Penny Black stamp. The flower was a flower from a small vase which unfortunately smashed so I pulled the flower heads off and I use them for cards. The message is a black and white message from Craftworkcards.






I coloured this in with watercolour pencils. Beary Cute!!

Have had a very uneventful day today. I have been sorting out some of my storage boxes. A friend owns a shop and she has been giving me her Haribo and other sweet boxes, they are fantastic and stack and just the right size, so I have been labelling them Huggabuggs, Kettos, Leanne Ellis, Cuttlebug folders, Tulle, Anya and more. Its hard to do anything that requires "thinking" with the kids about! so this was the ideal time for this type of job.

I hope you all have a lovely Easter, I am sure I will be back before then, I am planning to try and make a card tonight, but we're see... I am not sure what to use.. Hmm I think maybe an Anya card as I need to use my on the farm set and also another "twilight" idea.

Putting a few of you out of suspense

OK a few of you tried to guess and a couple of you were right. I got a lovely package of Bella stamps... well they were actually Ketto stamps... there are so many lovely Ketto's to choose from, I really didnt know what to get. So I got 4 Kettos, 2 animals, 2 patterns and 1 Huggabug.





In the words of Bella, "I lovey them all"... here is a picture to drool over! and a little one that I started today.

Balancing Act

Life is often a balencing act, trying to keep all the balls up in the air, not getting very far with any of them. Looks like this little hedgehog has his balance well though.

This is another sample card made for a fourth coming show so you might see it out on the road one day!!

What a nice day

Lovely day today, quiet unexpected as I thought the rain was coming... however it was a little chilly but dry and sunny. This morning I went to Tilgate Park with kids and Mum. We walked around the whole of the lake there. Lots of climbing trees and scaring my half to death as Caiden and Harvey had to try almost every fishing jetty out!! LOL






Today is Kiera my nieces 12th Birthday and this is the card I made for her. I used Wild Rose Designs for the main image.



Not sure what it happening tomorrow, think the rain may well come in, I think I will go for drive and see what happens.

I got a lovely package today from Canada... who can guess what?!

Bookmark Twilight Style

I needed a bookmark for my Twilight books so I thought I would make one! I used the digital Ian baseball from http://www.thegreetingfarm.com/ and coloured him in "Cullen" colours. Those that have read the book will have recognised the fonts as fonts of the handwriting of Bella, Edward and Jacob as well as the title for the book!! which I found online today. I made two, one for me, one for a friend.

Bit cheesed off as I had ordered the DVD but it hasnt come today and I should have just got it from the shops. Oh well maybe tomorrow!

Hi there

Sunday lay in? Not for me, got a bit of a cold and just felt horrible staying in bed so I got up, means I can have a bit of time at the pc and tv on my own ;0)

So this candy... why dont you want it? I NEED more comments or its not goign to get bigger and I plan to chuck in many more items!! SO I have changed the rules slightly... if you havent got a blog you can still comment... if you have a blog I would love for you to share it on the blog as then it will grow into a bigger and bigger prize! and of course any orders placed with me from now to 12th May will mean you can leave 2 more comments.

Here are a couple of cards. Very simple but cute eh? Both of course are Penny Black. I got the stamps from the Glitter Pot. These sample cards are for a show and will be travelling around with Sir Stampalot, since work is very sparce class wise I have the time to make some cards for them. And Sir Stampalot always help me with my Magnolia addiction so I owe them!! I try not to add to many other things onto the cards as these are to help promote the stamps and not the other bits and pieces. they also prove too that you dont need hundreds of papers, dozens of embellishments to make cards. Of course I love it all like the rest of you, but for some people its all too daunting when you need so much for one card. Keep it simple! (if you want) or jazz it up, you decide.

I also have this cute picture of Milo to share. Taken the other day in the sun, you can see my Dad's rose in leaf buds so its lovely to see it growing back again. My knomes a old family airloom!! LOL no seriously when my Mum and Dad were sorting out gardens and stuff to move they looked at me with these knomes in their hands and I said "NO WAY!" you cant chuck these they are like 20+ years old, like 25 years or something.. they have always been there so I saved them from the tip.

Twilight... have you read it? OMG I loved it... I am in love with Edward Cullen, or is that James? or both? or maybe Jacob LOL I am about 5 pages away from the end of the second book. Book 3 is waiting for me and I have yet to buy the 4th. These books have gripped me and I should be getting the DVD next week. We have a new PC, well Darren got it... he doesnt mind I have a Twilight background wallpaper.. least I went for the one with Bella in as well.. I was hovvering between Edward and James and couldn't decide anyway. SAD eh?? lol

Nesties Book?

Would you like to come along to a class where you can make your own nesties book? Its something I am pondering at the moment. THis would take place in surrey/redhill area.

For supplys you would choose a Simply Scrappin Kit for me to pre order for you. I will supply all other items such as magnetic tape and the binding machine and wires for you to use.

Interested? email stampingcaz@btinternet.com
