His and Her's............

I have been playing!!! I am still looking for my creativity as it seems to be eluding at the moment, everything seems such hard work!!

I was browsing the Internet, as you do, and stopped by at Dawn's Stamping Thoughts, she was demoing these little shirts. I love them.

I am always looking to do something different. The shirts are perfect too for The Greeting Farm images. So which better one to use than Flirty Edward!!

He is so dreamy.

I even played with decoupaging his hair!!

Then I thought I couldn't make a man's without trying a lady's!!

Although not keen on the colours, I really didn't want to use a piece of DSP from Stampin' Up if it didn't work!!!! I used a Martha Stewart Punch to create the collar and cuffs, to make it a little bit more girlie!!

With the flowers from Vintage Vogue and a few pearls........

..........plus another little sprout, it didn't turn out to bad!

I said the other night my Friend and I were busy backing cards with my scraps, well on Wednesday I spent the day, going through my image - you know the ones you ink up instantly, colour and then don't do anything with. I created loads of cards and over the next few days I will schedule them to share.

Have a lovely Good Friday.

Take care

Some thing I forgot to Share..........

I was looking round my craft room tidying up, and realised i hadn't photographed this project and shared it with you.

I made this ages ago, and then demoed it as a class.

It is so cute. I love the image, Kimono Kids and think Its my favourite from the Stampin' Up Cattie.

I find this sentiment so apt for me, as My friends are so important and have very few family members I like or have anything to do with apart from my Mum!

This is a sentiment from Lauren Meader along with the Box Template.

And here is the completed project. The ribbon is from Stampin Up to!

Quick post today.

Take care

Simply Cute.......

..........don't you agree!!

I made this card a while ago, and it has just sat on the pile waiting to be photographed. This is the Monkey from CC Designs, he really is sweet.

I added the sentiment recently and this too is from CC Designs.

Here is the card, very simple for me! And a really quick post.

I had my craft class last night, which was a little on the thin side, so we decided to use up scraps to make as many little cards as we could.
I was amazed at how much scrap I had. We made quite a few, ready to be imaged and finished.
When they are finished my very good friend, Tina, is going to give them to her niece, to sell in her tea shop, and raise some much needed funding for their charity. When they are done I'll share.

Take care, looks like another gorgeous day.

Cutie Creation.....

I seem to have had a few orders likely for baby cards, so I decided I needed a few more images and thought this was so cute. Its from the Pink Cat Studio. There are 2 images - this lion and a monkey, which i haven't used yet.

This card isn't for an order I have just been playing. The papers were a real bargain from Hobby craft - DCWV Paper Stack - lots of yummy papers - one stack for boys and one for girls.

I have kept it really simple.

I used another image and created a cracker box - I love this die!!!!

The paper in the stack is very substantial, so I made the box with it!

Here is the set!!

Hope you like.

A Few Goodies.....

I was playing at the weekend, which was fun particularly with the knowledge that I wasn't going to be at work for 2 weeks!!!!!!

Most people who know me know I love CC Designs, Promarkers and My Sizzix Stuff!

I was thrilled when The Bigshot Pro was released!! I love it!!!

And then Stampin' Up have brought out lots of dies in their Mini Cattie!!!!!!

SO I have been playing.

I love this cheeky little monkey so couldn't resist buying him, and then I saw that SIzzix have some new releases for the Pro - gorgeous boxes, so I put the two together!!!

This box also matches the card I made yesterday.

Its a fabulous die and creates the fab box which is very substantial.

Next are some Milk Cartons, using the Mini Milk Carton Die from Stampin' Up!!! I was not prepared for how mini it was...... But I love it! Its fab for little gifts - I'm thinking end of year for the children in my class!!

This one was made out of the paper/card from the Candy Box - not really enough left to make a card.

And this one is made using the cute little owl from Stampin' Up. I love him!

I'm so excited I'm hoping Stampin' Up bring out more Dies in their main cattie in October - I'm keeping everything crossed!!

Hope you like

Thank you for all the lovely comments, I really do appreciate them

Have a lovely Evening

Its All Circles at Anyone for Anya

Good morning, and it is a beautiful morning in Mansfield today. Not only is the sun shining but I am now on holiday!!!

I will also, hopefully, get my creativity flowing again too!! I have enjoyed the last two weeks off, and have not crafted seriously which has actually been quite refreshing.

But I am back!! and with a challenge card.

This week over at Anyone For Anya (please get yourselves over their there are some very talented ladies, and fab challenges) Its All Circles.

Create a circular card or project.

I couldn't resist using this new stamp from CC Designs, its so cute, cut into a circle and layered onto a scalloped circle.

I cut a scallop card using the biggest Nestie I have, then I layered red card and patterned paper on top. I wrapped some yummy polka dotty red ribbon and tied a bow.

Not much else to really said about this cutie card, I have kept it really simple, as I didn't want to over load the card, which isn't very big!

The sponsor for this weeks challenge is Simon Says, so relax and enjoy the sun, and why not create a card or project using an image from The Greeting Farm or CC Designs, and enter the challenge.

I will definitely be back tomorrow with another project I have created, as I have purchased lots of new goodies, they are yummy.

Take care and enjoy your Sunday.

Hello

Hello all, I can't believe that when I decided to take a week off crafting my whole working life would turn upside down!!!!!

Was very poorly at the beginning of the week and then received a phone call on Tuesday to say we had had the OFSTED call and I needed to get back to work, so have work 36 hours in 2 1/2 day s and am exhausted!!!!

So I am taking another week!!!!!!

Take care all and see you soon

Happy First Birthday II

Here is my second birthday card, from the same grandmother as Wednesday's but different granddaughter.

This time I used a different lili of the valley image!

....but just as cute.

Sorry for the blue pictures but took it at the house I dropped it off at as forgot before I delivered it!

Here you go finished card. Similar stuff as before just a different layout.

Off to the lovely Jules in Pudsey tomorrow to spend some pennies on the new mini, so excited!!!!

Take care and have a lovely day

Happy First Birthday I

I was asked to make a birthday card this week, ( well two, but will share other tomorrow)! It is for a little girl who is one!

So it just had to be pink and girlie!!

I had to createt he big 1st, myself as I don't have a die big enough, and really couldn't be bothered to get the cricut out (although may have been easier). I used some pink papers I have had for ages, and Crumb Cake card from Stampin' Up. Tracy from DIes to Die for sent me some doily cut outs, which I inked with Crumb Cake ink. I tied a bow around the nunmber and that seemed to finish it off.

I used an Image from Lili of the Valley, stamped onto Whisper White Cardstock from Stampin' Up - in my opinion the best for Promarkers and I have tried lots of card - this seems to take the saturation well!

I then coloured her with my Promarkers - the green matches the green on the reverse of the paper - but didn't use it!

And here is the final creation - the Grandma was thrilled! I really like it too and have had a few more orders because of it!!

Hope you like!

Must go I have a very excited 9 year old here who needs attention - it is his birthday after all!

Take care
