Big Buttons

 
 

Feeling Sketchy - 140 - I really wanted to use these chipboard buttons as they have been sitting in my stash for years , they were a bit big so I don't have much space on the right hand side.

Shades of grey X 2


 I managed to stamp this on linen look paper - not an easy job - I love the way it comes out after adding some shade.




This one was stamped on plain white card stock - very smooth- the stamping came out very evenly.

Stamping Boutique have a lovely video tutorial for this stamp set - see it here - it's well worth a visit

About 8 months ago I won a prize of   $30 to spend at a craft shop - every time I found a product I liked it was always out of stock - so my prize money sat there until a few weeks ago when I purchased Altenews 'Lacy Scrolls ' , this stamp set has 2 solid flowers and 18 leaf / scrolls . I used them to make both cards.

a butterfly 4 U



I stamped and heat embossed the butterfly -added a little colour and some gems - this is a big butterfly so I didn't want to add too much.

Scrapbook Boutique - February challenge -  The mood board is an interesting change from the cupcakes, ( which I will miss -always so yummy to look at ) it was hard to decide which elements to include on my card -in the end I kept it safe and simple.

A card for any occasion




The papers and the flowers are a magazine freebie - the colours are a bit bold for me but I think the blue and dark yellow give a bit of life to the paper.

Tuesday Morning Sketch 337 - Another great layout to play with.

Camera shy



10 days ago we took 5 year old Bella  into our home - she has the sweetest nature but really didn't want me to take her picture - I think her previous owners have been quite strict as she doesn't sit on the sofas -  only on your lap when invited for a cuddle - our bedroom door is open but she doesn't disturb us during the night for a cuddle or to play .

I have bought her a few cat toys so I hope we will see her personality come out  over the next few weeks.
I shouldn't complain ,  but I'm happy to be woken with a cold nose or a soft paw pushed into my face.

Baby



Passion for Promarkers - challenge 330 - Clean and Simple - The elephant ,hearts and sentiment are all part of the same stamp - only 4 sequins are my extras. I used Aquamarkers in Cadmium - Cerulean Blue and Cobalt Green - the blue half of the hearts are brushed with a Wink of Stella .
