Anyone for Anya!

Here we are late again. I really I'm so, so, late with things at the moment.

This weeks Challenge is a Sketch and I love it, so simple but with a fabulous result.

Here I have used a CC Design Imaage, from All That Scraps - Sugarplum Cookie Emma

She is so adorable. The sentiment is also from CC Designs.

I also used some delicious paper from Dies to Die for. The green paper is from Bo Bunny Papers and I have to say I think I will be buying more! Its called Petal Pushers. I teamed this up with some co-ordinating papers from Stampin Up. The are fab!

These flowers were from my stash - the turquoise flower was white, but I coloured it using Stampin' Up's Tempting Turquoise. and the added some papermania flowers. The ribbon is also from Stampin' Up, its Melon Mamba Polka Dots - but sorry is no longer available.

Here is my completed set. the Box is a sizzix die, covered to co-ordinate with the card.

Hope you like.

I'll be back with some more bits and pieces soon.

Take care and thanks for popping by.

All That Scraps Previews Day 3: Honey Teacher.

Oh What I would give to have a class full of these little sweeties. But That would make life a little less interesting.

Its Day 3 of the Previews over at All That Scraps and what a lot of inspiration there has been these last couple of days.

Here is what I created.

I'm always looking for ways to be organised, but they never seem to work.

I have created a notebook and matching pen holder.

I added extra detail, for fun buttons and some memory wire!
I really love the new satin ribbon from Stampin' Up, I may need to order some more soon!

I thought I'd use a "Thank You" sentiment as it would also make a perfect gift for a teacher.

I used lots of red ribbon from my stash to jazz up the binding. I also used some of Tim Holtz Grungeboard, for the cover, making it a bit more sturdy.

And the final shot of both projects together. Make sure you pop over and check out all the other creations and a chance to win a prize, here.

I'm trying really hard at the moment to keep my projects as simple as possible, as there are lots of newbies out there and projects can look just as good without all the fuss.

Although I have slipped back for the up and coming special event on Sunday!! ;)

Have a lovely day. We are stopping at home today. After the events of yesterday!! Have a great day out with a lovely friend and her niece. Unfortunately my Baby was very ill and slept most of the afternoon, once we got home. Here's to a better day.

PS: Make sure you pop back later and see the Sugar Bowl Challenge

All that Scraps Sneaky peek!!!!!

Tomorrow sees the release of the New Mermaid Stamps from All That Scraps. And this is my first card as part of the Design Team.

This is one of the Sweet November Stamps: Mermaids, Designed by Amy Young.

Isn't she gorgeous. I used this one first cos I love dolphins.

This is one of 4 images which will be available from All That Scraps on Monday 5th July.

Are you ready for a tour of my card:

I stamped the image as usual using memento ink, onto Whisper White Cardstock, from Stampin' Up and then coloured her and her friend with my promarkers. I used some pearl gems for her waist band, Think think they look lush, along with her earring. I used some stickles to add some glitz to her hair too!

I punched out several different sized circles and a sentiment, which were all joined with a gem brad.

Another bit of lusciousness - Green Organza Ribbon, from my stash.

Isn't this dolphin cute. I coloured her pink, to co-ordinate and glitzed her up a little. I also stamped some pink and green images to add detail, which I love doing along with adding a little more stickles to each corner.

Here is the finished card. I used some MME Papers, from the Mary Mary Range and some Green Coredinates Paper.

Here is a final dimensional shot. Hope you like. There will be another card tomorrow, for Day 2 or Previews and then hopefully some more to follow soon!!!!!

Have a lovely Weekend.

We are having a bit of a time of it at the moment, which seems to make it hard for planning anything.

I was at Hospital last week as Cameron Split his head open at the airfield with his dad, then Emily went to secondary school for a visit along with puberty kicking in full force the night before, and then Andy's mum and dad's house got broken into last night while they are on holiday.

And amongst all of this I'm suppose to go to work and act like an enthusiastic teacher. Only 2 weeks and 4 days left to go!!!!!

Sorry to rant but just needed to get all that out!!

Take care and pop back tomorrow, no more ranting I promise!!
