Happy Birthday To You!!!

I really love this image from Kenny K - its fun and such a dream to colour. This is a card I have made for an order, and the brief was not too girlie!!

I think it is just the right side of girlie without going over the top! Again Fruit Smoothie Lettering.

Believe it or not the papers were from my scrap bin!! Still trying to use up what I have!!

And a beautiful ribbon from Chocolate Stitched Stampin' Up Ribbon!!

I love this card - It was hard to sell it but hey ho!! I enjoyed making It!!

Take care all

Kenny K Challenge missed!!!!!!

Doesn't she just look like she could be trouble!! TROUBLEMAKER is a stamp from Whimsy stamps available from Bunny Zoe's - I know I have them on digi but there is something about rubber that I prefer.

I have used some glossy accents on the ice cream and drips.

I used those fab bobble ribbons again, although I had trouble with the pink one sticking over the top of the orange one! So I stuck each individual bobble on!!!

The sentiment is from a CC Design Set I have, layed using punches from Stampin' Up.

Here is the completed card. The papers are lush - Sweet and Sour from Stampin' Up.

The card follows the sketch created by Rachel Jakes a DT memeber at Kenny K's Krafty Girls, unfortunately it never made it into the challenge!!

Hope you like

Have a lovely day.

Another Project with My New Baby

Oh it was so nice to not have to go to work this morning, and I can play all day!!!!!!

I thought I would share a project I created using my Bigshot Pro - it really is a fab machine, and if you like making boxes in bulk and are an avid scrapbooker, there are some fab dies!

I made this using the Matchbox Die - I cut and made 5 then layered them together.

Using some of Tim Holtz lovely paper I distressed and matted it to each side and the top. I then used one of my fav Kenny K images and a bit of ribbon and a few circle flowers.

I did the same on the opposite side, but with another favourite Kenny K Image.

The flowers were distressed and inked, then finished with a brad and a couple of punched leaves.

I then arrange a few flowers on top just for a little added interest.

I perfect place to keep embellishments, and other crafting bits and pieces.

I think I might enter this into this weeks Kenny K's Krafty Girls Challenge, where everything is R's, as I have used Ribbon, Rope and Rhinestone brads!!

Have a good day all and take care.

Kenny K - Monochrome Christmas Challenge

I was putting this challenge card off all week cos I just couldn't think what to do. So I sat and sorted out my papers to get them into a sort of colour division, and stubbled across these old papers from Stampin' Up. I think they are really soft and muted and the card just seemed to grow from there.

I also saw this card style a while ago on Create and Craft and had to have a go. It is lovely. It doesn't really have a name but its just a Diagonal Easel card. I love the image I have used, Its defo one of my favourites from Kenny K. She is called Download Diva.

I have kept the card very simple. I used the new Ornament Stamp Set and Punch to create a little stopper for the front, and some very lovely Satin Ribbon from my stash. The snowflakes are cut from a sizzlet die I have had for ages. These have been layered and finished with the new buttons from Stampin'Up. FInally it was finished off with a sentiment, again from Stampin' Up and a snowflake charm.

I hope you like.

If so have a go you could win some of Kenny K's fabulous Images.

Pop over and check out all the other DT's inspirational creations.

I have scheduled another post for later and I'm really excited about it. Make sure you check out Anyone for Anya at 9.00 and here a little later.

Take care, its very icy outside.

Kenny K's Krafty Girls Challenge!!!!!!!

I failed miserably this week and time just ran out for my card!!!!!! I didn't get it finished in time for the DT!!!!!!

I have been so snowed under at work, we all have observations next week by the New Head Teacher so have been preparing! And have got lots of DT work which I can start to show soon but most of it is for releases which are not due til next month!

But here is the card I planned on having done for the Challenge this week!! Sorry ladies! They DT have done a fantastic job as always so make sure you check them out, here.

I have used Troublemaker - I think she is so cool!! I also bought a new toy. A new Nestie - one I have been wanting for ages. Its lovely. I have kept this card very simple - mainly cos I realise many people either don't have the stash or the time to make anything more elaborate!

I hope you like and I will be back soon with my Anyone For Anya Card.

Have a lovely morning.

Hugs Sarah B X

The prize this week is also fabulous

Here is the card I made:

I used one of the new images from The Greeting Farm - it is the boy stamp from Sweet and Toxic!

I really do love the twist with these images, The Greeting Farm have really struck a chord with me and these Creepy Crew Stamps I love them!!!

The sentiment is also from the Stamp set!

I used Old Olive cardstock and ribbon from Stampin' Up and then teamed it up with a blue from my Core-dinations set of papers! The Buttons are also SU, as is the linen thread!

Make sure you chack out the rest of the DT's Creations, here.

I have got lots of DT work to get on with today, but am hoping to be able to show some other bits.
The new images from Sugar Nellie are fab and I can't wait to create with them!!

Have a lovely day all

Take care
