I Will Always Love My Sarah Kay Stamps

Good morning everyone.  The Easter Holiday for the kids is nearly over.  When Brandon goes back to School, I'm off on a job hunt.  Where I live (Buxton), there's not an awful lot of jobs as this place is so small.  I'm originally from Liverpool and getting a job there was a lot easier.  So I'm going to try harder, after all I need lots of new crafty items and the only way to get them is with a job lol.

Now this card is using one of my old Sarah Kay stamps.  I have quite a few of these and I do love them.  I forget about them because of all the wonderful digi stamps that are out there at the mo.

This is my favourite Sarah Kay stamp and I have coloured her in with pro-markers.  The papers are Pink Petticoat Vintage Roses.  I have used a Spellbinders Floral Ovals die and a LOTV sentiment stamp.  The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts, as is the seam ribbon.  The gem in the centre of the bow and the felt doily shape are from The Works.

Mermaid Magic

Good morning everyone,

We got to the pictures yesterday and myself, Brandon and his friend Jack all watched the Lego movie.  It was more enjoyable than I thought.  I thought I would be bored to death but I wasn't.  It was fast paced with a cute story line.  Would recommend it for kids.

There's been quite a few challenges out there lately for white on white and embossing and I thought I would have a go.  Here is my attempt......

I've not used white on white before and I loved the way it turned out.  Would try it again.

The stamp is and LOTV one coloured in with my pro-markers.  I've also added a sprinkle of glitter to the bubbles.  The die is a Spellbinders Floral Oval die.  I have used my cuttlebug and embossing folders for the two different embossed panels behind the image.  Flowers are Wild Orchid Crafts.  The sentiments was part of a set of stamps that came free with a mag ages ago.  Ribbon and gem are from my stash.

Penny's Paper-Crafty Challenge No. 174 Sponsored by Dr. Digi, Crafty Sentiments and Di's Digis

Good afternoon crafty friends.  Hope you had a great Easter Holiday.  We did.  There was some nice weather and some rubbish weather, typically British weather in other words.

It is time for another challenge over at Penny's Paper Crafty and this week the theme is One for the Boys, so come along and join in the fun.

Here is my card.....

I was lucky enough to be able to choose this sweet image from Crafty Sentiments called Henry, to use on my boy card.  He's adorable isn't he.  He looks like he's pining for someone lol.

I coloured him in with my pro-markers and the papers Nitwits (but mine were free from a magazine from ages ago).  The star is a Bigz die and everything else is just from my stash.  I had transferred image to Word, then added the sentiment.

Here is my card for the challenge.....

I was given this fun image from Stitchy Bear to play with.  Now the theme is Ice Cream colours and I was wondering what on earth colours can I use that are ice cream and can match Goldfish.  I did a search on the internet and found Ben and Jerry's Peach Cobbler ice cream, so that is where I got my inspiration from lol.

Easter Bunny

Good morning everyone.  We have sun today but it's still a little cold.  Will probably warm up a little later.  Can't wait until we are using less heating, as it's costing a fortune!!!

Here is a card I made for the Easter challenges that are out there at the moment.

This cute bunny is a LOTV rubber stamp.  I always enjoy colouring this one as he's such a cheerful little chappie and of course I have used my pro-markers.  The papers are Basic Grey Piccadilly and the flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts.  Ribbon and pearls from my stash of bits and bobs.  The sentiment was a freebie stamp from a crafting magazine.

Birthday Cats

Good Morning everyone.  Hope you are all well.  I've had the painters at my house for the last week and a bit sprucing up the front and back.  It's been a little stressful as all the doors and windows had to be left open throughout the day and they kept mucking up my kitchen floor.  But it does look nice now as it looked dilapated before.  There are just some finishing touches to the back to be done and that should be it.  Privacy again lol.

Onto my card.  This image is so adorable, I love it.  It's from Eureka Stamps called Kitty Party.  Great to colour in.  Everyone reckons the big orange cat looks like Garfield lol.

The papers are Wild Rose Studio Spring Fling 6 x 6 and the flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts.  Everything else is from my stash.
