Stamp With Us Challenge 4

This is my entry for this weeks Challenge Sketch over at Stamp With Us. I'm really excited about next weeks challenge as my SU Mum Julie is part of the Design Team, way to go girl!!!!!

This was the sketch, and at the I love red and black together, so I combined the two.

This is my all time favourite Stamp as well, and is perfect for the colours

All the card stock is from Stampin' Up and the sentiment is from the Hostess Level 1 set, Best Yet.

I have also bought some new goodies today. I have included some green Rainbow Drops (similar to Dew Drops), and I have embossed the Real Red Cardstock, using a Cuttlebug Folder.

I hope you like my entry, I'll be back tomorrow, with a giveaway so please come back and check it out!!

Half Term Giveaway Day 2!

Morning Everyone, Its so nice not to have to get up and go anywhere today.

Hope if you are off this week, you are enjoying the thought of a whole week in front of you to relax and enjoy. Those of you who aren't off sorry!

Well Day 2 of my Half Term Giveaway.

The rules are as follows, just to clarify. Open to all in the UK. You can enter every day. That's it.

I will be moderating the comments at 7.00pm tonight, to give everyone an opportunity to comment if they wish.

As today is Day 2 the second person to leave a comment will receive the Kit of the following Project!

This is a sneeky peek of the side of the project. Its a basket, and I used the New Template from Papertrey. It Basket Basics by Lauren Meader, I love her work (if you haven't already visit her Blog, its on my sidebar).

I stamped the cardstock - Which is Stampin' Up's Real Red - with the Seeing Spots Stamp Set. Then I inked the edges, love this technique!

Then added Real Red 1/4 in Grosgrain Ribbon, to the sides again from Stampin' Up.

This next image shows the sentiment which is The Circle of Friendship Set from Stampin' Up. This set is so versatile. This was then mounted onto a circle of Real Red cardstock which I stamped using another of the Seeing Spots Stamps. I used a Sakura Gelly Roll Pen to doodle the dots on the Black cardstock scalloped circle.

This is an image that I have not used for ages. I love the style of Whipper Snapper and this cute Ladybird was calling to me to be used on this project. She was coloured using Promarkers (of which I nearly have a full set).

And for the Final Project.

Isn't it lovely. I do love Lauren's templates, they are very inspirational.

So if you would like to receive the Kit form of this project, Please leave a comment.

You will receive:

Cut and scored cardstock, Stamped images and Ribbon

All you have to do is stamp the card and colour in the Ladybird.

Good luck, see you later to announce the lucky recipient of the Kit.

Bye for now!

My Beautiful 10 Year Old!

Gosh what a week for reflection. I can't believe my little baby is 10 years old. She has grown up so much, its hard to believe.

I thought I would show you the card I made for her birthday.

I think on such as special day, a card was not enough, so I create a keepsake of her ten years.I made this mini book, I love making mini books for special occasions.

Ballet and Tap Dancing is her thing. She has performed in many pantomimes and dancing shows that this image was an absolute must, and I do love the Whipper Snapper style.

She is just as cute as Emily! And I love the Circle of Friendship from SU.

A new trend, word books, is something I thought I would incorporate, too.

And I love the new stamps from Smirk, this is on the page with Emily and her best friend!

Some memorable times in Emily's life. The arrival of her Brother, and starting school!

What a lovely holiday this was, I love this photo.

Well here's to another memorable 10 years.
