Robbie's Birthday Card Take 2

If you read my post the other day showing Robbie birthday card you would remember by doubts that I had about it being too old for him.....well those doubts kept niggling at me and then my husband said its an ace card but not really suitable for him, its a bit dark....So off I went all frazzled to make a new birthday card.

I used the funky image from Tickled Pink Stamps - Lil Lad Stefan, picked some bright coloured papers and threw it all together. All in all (seeming I did not have the luxury of time to procrastinate over what do do) I am happy with it. Most importantly he thought it was cool!

He had such a fun day yesterday...I still cant believe he has turned 7.

Anyhow I am also entering this into this months challenge at Mad For Markers - using colours from YR, BG and RV. Now as this was a boys card I did struggle to use colours from the RV family but have used BG15, BG34, BG11 & BG10 together with R08, R05 & R02 for the surfboard. I also used the BG's for his shorts and top. I only have one YR copic and I used this with my browns in his hair.

Anyhow that it for me today, until next time xoxox

My little man's birthday card

My little man, Robbie, is turning 7 on Wednesday. I cant believe how quick time actually goes. He is such a great kid, with bounds and bounds of energy and the softest heart around. He has a lot of compassion and can be very thoughtful of others I am already so proud of him. I can see so many beautiful traits in him and just know that as he grows into a man I know that I will continue to be proud of....Awww enough of the soppy stuff, LOL!!!!

He actually has requested a card from me using Pirate Frankie but as I sat down to make one today I had a block and could not get anything to work. He really loves playing his guitar and listening to music so I thought a card using the super cool Lil Damon (which you can get in digi form for a little longer at Tickled Pink Stamps) would be perfect for him. Thank you Kel for processing my order so quickly this morning to enable me to get my card made today, you are the best. In hindsight the card may be a little old (as in style) for him but I think he will love it anyhow.

The layout is my own and I have to say I quite like it. The paper is from Bo Bunny ( I am loving these papers more and more) and think I may have to go get some more as it is perfect for the male card.

I am entering my card into the following challenges:

Creative Inspirations - One for the Men

Stamp Something - Digi images

Anyhow I better dash still lots to do. Thanks for stopping by....

Until next time xoxox

Ingredients

Digi stamp - Lil Damon from Tickled Pink Stamps

Buttons, Bling & Bloom...

I am so excited today as it is my first post as a member of the DT for Stamptacular Sunday Challenges. Yippee, LOL! Now down to business......

This week's challenge is called…

“Buttons, Bling and BLOOM!”

For my card this week I have used Mr and Mrs Foxglove from Whiff of Joy. I loved this stamp from long time ago and was excited when Maxine got it in.

I have used a button (lowers head in shame!), pearls as my bling and well yes you can see some flowers as well. I tried to be bit creative with my colouring and made a background for my image by adding some grass, sky and clouds. Dont mind the look of it.

Now be sure to pop by Stamptacular Sunday Challenges and check out all the wonderful inspiration from the other ladies and if you have the chance stop by their blogs and have a look around.

Need to make my little man's birthday card over the next couple of days so hopefully I will be back soon with that.

Thanks for stopping by,until next time xoxo

ingredients:

stamp - mr and Mrs Foxglove from Whiff of Joy

Coloured using my copcis (no colour details..sorry need to start writing down colours I use)

Papers - Basic Grey

Embellishments - Flowers, pearls, lace, ribbon, button and felt.

One just for fun.....

It has been a few weeks but last night I sat down and made a card for just the fun of it.

I picked the papers i used today up from Spotlight out of all places the other week and have been hanging out to use them. Once again like my last card they are not my normal colours but they are a bit richer in colour which is what I like so all in all I am happy with how the colours have come out.

I am using the sketch from this weeks challenge over at Simon Says. It is a great sketch and as soon as I saw it I just knew that I had to use it.  Anyhow enough waffling here is my card...

Did you notice? no black again!! It would have to be a record for me!! The papers are very pretty, in fact think I may have to go back and get some more. It also went perfect,  the green was an exact match, for mellow moss from Stampin Up.

I love Whiff of Joy stamps and think this one is so cute. Colouring Elizabeth Bell images are so much fun.

I am also entering this card into the following challenges:

Delightful Sketches - flowers

Bunny Zoe Crafts - Birthday creations with lots of Pearls

The Shabby Tea Room - inspiration (i choose the green colour) plus flowers

Lets Ink it Up - die cuts/punches ( i have used my tildas lace die for the border around the purple paper and spellbinders for the scallop oval)

Tuesday throw down - floral

The ABC Challenge - R is for Roses (I have used roses in my flowers and the purple bit of patterned paper has roses on it)

So there you have it. I can slowly feeling my mojo creeping back in after been out of it for so long with being sick. Hopefully I will be back soon with some more to show you.

Thanks for stopping by, until next time xoxo

We want to see you Bling it Up at Tickled Pink Stamp Challenges

Hi there, I hope this post finds all well. It has been a while since I last posted but I have still not been 100% and have been putting all my crafting efforts into getting my DT cards ready. I don't to start off behind the eight ball.

Today is my first post as guest DT at Tickled Pink Stamp Challenges (yippee!). I am so excited to be part of this wonderful team for a month and having the opportunity to play with these funky stamps.

This week we want to see you all adding some bling to your projects. Easy right?!

I decided to use my Kira Fairy for this challenge as i associate fairies with glitter and bling. The papers I have used are a lot softer than normal for me. It feels a bit wishy washy for me but according to my daughter (my toughest critic) the card is just beautiful mum and can I have one like this for my birthday! I have also tried to give the illusion that she is bending down reaching out to the butterfly. Anyhow there is lots of bling on my card, pink and silver rhinestones, hat pin with bling on the ribbon, glittered wings......

Anyhow that is all from me today. I will be back on Sunday evening with my very first card for the Stamptacular Challenges blog.

Thanks for stopping by, until next time xoxox
