Wool you be mine?

Hello lovely people,

I hope you are all having a good week so far.

I had a day off on Monday after spending the day on Sunday helping out at the Dies to Die For stand at the Sincerely Yours papercraft show in Thetford.  I had a fabulous day out with my crafty buddies, and I may have bought a few bits and pieces that I found I 'needed' ;-)

It's time for a new challenge at In The Pink and our theme is...

WITH LOVE
Don't forget we want to see more pink than any other colour!

Our lovely sponsor this time is Di's Digi Stamps with a $12 voucher

Amongst my purchases on Sunday, I couldn't resist adding to my collection of MFT cute critters, so my card today is a really simple one using one of the adorable sheep that came home with me!

I wasn't entirely sure how I would colour the fluffy wool, but it was actually super easy to do with just a few flicks to suggest a bit of texture.

It's always a bit of a blow to the credit card to get the matching dies but I can honestly say it's a good investment because I really love to cut those critters out and pop them on foam pads.

Dr. Hubby was so not impressed with the punny sentiment but it made me giggle!

The scallop frame and stitched hillside are also new additions to my stash ;-)

If you haven't already done so then do pop over to In The Pink and check out the gorgeous creations from the rest of the Pink Ladies.

Grumpling #2

Hello lovely people,

It seems my little party grumpling card (here) was a big hit, both with my blog followers, and Dr. Hubby.
So, here's another one!
These stamps lend themselves to CAS designs and this one was a great way to use up some scraps.

The sentiment is part of the stamp set and makes me giggle every time I read it!

Card recipe;

Image & sentiment: Party Grumplings - Taylored Expressions

DP: from stash

Twine: Ivory button twine - The Ribbon Girl

Punch: Double Dot - Martha Stewart

Copic colours;
Ooops, forgot to write them down - sorry!
I think it was T-series for rabbit with B91/93/95 for cupcake case & candle

Today I am putting the finishing touches to my craft room redecoration with a couple of extra shelves and a curtain pole.  If we get a bit of sunshine (ha!) I'll take some photos :-)

I hope you are having a lovely weekend whatever you are doing.

Happy bird-day!

Hello lovely people,

It's a flying post from me this morning as I very nearly forgot to write it - oops!  I am continuing my guest DT spot at A Little Bit Crafty and have a mid-way reminder of our current challenge which has the theme...

THE BIRDS AND THE BEES

Since I did bees last time I have gone for birds on this card and brace yourselves, it's a bright one!

The image is part of a set from Digi Stamp Boutique so I have some other cute images to use another time.  I added some Stardust Stickles to the hats and the fun sentiment comes with the images :-)

Hello lovely people,

I said I had two projects to share today (check out my other post for Top Tip Tuesday here) and I'm thrilled to say that the second is another guest DT spot...

So, I'm joining in with A Little Bit Crafty where our theme this month is...

THE BIRDS AND THE BEES

No, no, not like that, we want to see actual birds and/or bees please!

This was the perfect excuse to use some cute Pink Petticoat digi images and create a little boxed set of notelets.

I created 2 pockets on the inside with each one holding 3 extremely CAS notelets plus envelopes.

Each notelet has a different sentiment and I simply coloured the bees with Copics (Y18, B0000) then added a tiny gem detail to finish.

Ok, just one more shot of it all tied up with pretty organza ribbon...
