Inkspiration inspiration Challenge # 15

How exciting!! I have been asked by Makeesha to be the guest designer for the rest of November, how cool is that!! Thanks soooo much Keesh for asking me!!!! I love doing Keesh's challenges but sometimes time isn't on my side! So one good thing about being a guest designer is I get the challenges early so I can make sure I get them done;-) as soon as I saw this inspiration picture I knew which set to use!! I love it when that happens;-) I have used my versamark pad and clear embossing powder for the decorations in the background on my black card, and versmark and sliver embossing on my hanging decorations. I haven't had my heat gun out in a long time, I had forgotten how much I enjoy embossing!

Recipe:

Stamps: Tree trimmings

Ink: Versamark

Embossing powder: Clear and sliver

punches: Scallop edge

Ribbon: 1/4" basic black grosgrain and silver thread

Check out Keesh's sample and the design teams creations! Renee, Cindy, Kirsty, Chantelle , and Sarah-Jane.

If you have the time have a go yourself;-)

Thanks for stopping by!!!

Makeesha's colour challenge # 15

Its time for another challenge from Makeesha and the colours this week are fantastic and I had the perfect stamp set to use!! "Wild about you" is a old fav of mine and has been well used! I have paper tolled out the lion and the wee bird and always wonder to myself what was I thinking cutting out all the little bits but just can't help myself! lol. I used the word window punch to make a gap for the words, I was glad it would punch through 2 layers of card and 1 layer of DSP all at once!! The DSP is close to cocoa prints from last years catty. Check out the design teams and Makeesha's samples here!

I better go get ready for work. Have a great weekend everyone!!

Happy new baby

I don't know where the time goes!! One day its Monday and the next it seems to be Thursday.lol. I made this card at the start of the week and had good intentions of posting it sooner but I never quite got there!! I made this card for a cousin of mine that has just had a wee baby boy. It is a couple of weeks late but I'm sure she will still love it;-) I have had fun and fast notes for quite a while but have never used it and I can't think why! So I wiped off the dust and inked it up. I used the last of my baja breeze card stock and teamed it up with basic grey, love these colours together. Well I must go and put the kids to bed.

Thanks for stopping by!!

Its was easy to make and not to fiddly, which is always great;-). Check out the other purses here! I'll be back tomorrow I have a baby card I made last night to show you. I can't believe I actually made 3 things last night!! That has to be a record for me.lol. Thanks for stopping by!

I had planned to spend the afternoon stamping with a friend but unfortunately I had to cancel, but I did manage to slip away into my stamp room and whip up this birthday card that is way late but at least now its done and dusted!! Pun fun is my newest stamp set and I can't wait to use all the stamps in the set!. Now the kids are in bed and I have a baby card to make and a swap for UStamp so I better get cracking. Thanks for stopping by;-)
