Vintage racer

Hello lovely people,

Here we go again...a brand new week ahead and as usual I am full of plans to 'get things done.'  We'll see how well that went at the end of the week ;-)

I have another LOTV card to share with you today and the fab new images are really encouraging me to make more male designs.

I'm sure this image will appeal to vintage car fans...and colouring fans too!

The bunnies are back!

Hello lovely people,

If you haven't seen or heard about this yet then let me fill you in...the LOTV Ideas to Inspire blog is back - hurrah!

On top of that, some of the best loved LOTV  images are coming back too, including a couple of the gorgeous bunny stamps.  So, I thought I'd use one of them for my Design Collective card today.

This bunny was the first ever LOTV stamp I bought and he is just as adorable now as he was when I bought him :-)
I did a little paper piecing again on the balloon and cupcake.

Just my type

Hello lovely people,

I'm busy busy with some custom orders at the moment; isn't it nice to be in demand?!

So, I'm just popping in really quickly with a cute little Valentine's Day card.

The typewriter image (now sadly unavailable) came with some individual pages with sentiments on and also a blank page image, so I chose a typewriter style font to add my own text to the blank page image, cut it out and put a thin foam pad underneath the top.

I was then able to use the same font for the word labels underneath so it's all nicely co-ordinated :-)

Twine: Ivory button twine - The Ribbon Girl

Dies: Notebook edge die - Clearly Besotted
Paperclip: from stash

Sentiment: done on computer (font: Travelling typewriter)

Copic colours;
Main body of typewriter: W00/0/1/2/3

I hope you all have a good week :-)

Hello lovely people,

Here we go again with a new challenge at Crafty Little Fairies and our theme this month is...

SPOTS &/OR STRIPES

We are thrilled to have FIVE fabulous sponsors this month:

THE RIBBON GIRL

MARIANNE DESIGN

IVA NOVA CHEST

HANDY HIPPO

CRAFTY RIBBONS

I took advantage of the lovely birthday discount recently to stock up on LOTV stamps, a mixture of old and new.  Today I have used an older stamp but I thought it was a very versatile design and I've teamed it with some of the fab LOTV papers.  Oh, and the sentiment is from a LOTV set I got in my little spending spree as well :-)

I think I've got the theme covered with spots and stripes on the DP and the image!

Card recipe;

Nearly forgot...

Hello lovely people,

Apparently having a few days off work has led to me completely losing track of what day it is and very nearly forgetting to do this post for Crafty Little Fairies!  This wouldn't have been so bad except that I also forgot to take the photos of my card and spent a good yesterday evening while trying to get a photo that wasn't awful.  Special thanks to Dr Hubby for holding lamps whilst I played with camera settings.  UDATE: Photos retaken this morning; still not much light but better than last night!

Ok, onto our theme for this week and that is...

Autumn colours

Our sponsor this week is My Crafty Heart with a £10 voucher :-)

This was a tough one for me as I almost never use this colour palette but I did have a new (for me) LOTV stamp to play with and found a scrap of suitable DP hiding in my stash and this is what I came up with;

I hesitate to inflict another poor photo on you but here is the close up... *winces*
