Jellybean

I had to get myself an extra tax disc holder for my staff parking permit and decided to decorate it in the hope that hubby would refuse to drive my car.

Failed dismally although he refuses to be seen carrying the keys as they have Eeyore and patchwork heart and my name dangling off them - he hands them to me before he gets out.

The stamps is Jellybean by whimsy stamps, paper is First Edition Up Up and Away and I used my birthday picot circles dies :c)

Fetch a Sketch

I found this great layout at fetch a sketch - the stamps are Kanban and the anchor charm was 25p from Primark complete with the lobster clip :c)
Challenges:
papertake - anything goes
dream valley - monochrome
fashionable stamping - vintage
Crafty pad - one for the boys

Favourite Colours for Teddy Bo Tuesday

Bo's busy playing games this week for my card - our challenge is favourite colours - which I found quite hard as I love loads of colours so have used blue turquoise and red on this one with TeddyBo_083 and my K & Co Hopscotch Boy papers.

The one I've used today is an old image but we have some new ones out today so hop on over to the challenge blog to see what the other girlies have made and we might even have somes new paws at the Towers this week.....

Challenges:
 Creative Craft Challenges - sketch

OSAAT - use a digi
paper sundaes - lots of layers
crafty pad - one for the boys
One Stop - just for men 

Thank Crunchie it's Friday

This little cutie sure has wings lol! This is the first time I've used this image and must say it was very easy to colour especially now I'm using Staples text and graphic paper for my images 'coz my reds no longer bleed - Whoop! Whoop!

These fantastic papers are a freebie from Shery K designs - there's a whole pack of them and the other collections are really inexpensive and print really well.

Don't forget you still have a few days to enter the things with wings challenge at Teddy Bo 

and if you feel like getting messy there's Kathy's fantastic shabby chic tutorial this week as the Thursday Top Tip

Take 2 Bears

I rehomed this cute Bildmalarna stamp when Sarah decided she no longer wanted it. On this card I distressed some Memory Box paper and some pearl cardstock with my cross stitch thread cutter (works like the Tim Holtz distresser but more cost effective)

Then I decided to try something different with it:

DCWV pink christmas paper, Spellbinders Ironwork dies a few gems and a tiny star punch that I found when tidying up.

The same stamp but 2 completely different looks 

Challenges:

Cute card Thursday - animals

Little Miss Muffet - animals & monsters 

Meljens - use a circle and a square 

Papercrafting journey - die cuts or punches 

Cupcake - if you go down to the woods 

Teddy bo Tuesday gives you wings

We're into the 2nd week of the Things with Wings challenge and I've cheated a bit here even after all our colouring tutorials and used a ready coloured version of Wish Upon a Star. Looks great with the First Edition up and away papers and a recent sketch from Crafty Catz though.

 

We also have some fabby new graphics for you again this week - check out the brilliant sleigh one

 Challenges:

Cupcake crafts - if you go down to the woods 

School at I Did it Creations

It's school at I Did it Creations this week and quite sad for me as I am stepping down from the Design Team as I just don't have time at the moment with packing up my house to relocate to Scotland. I've used a brilliant digi from our sponsor Floppy Latte designs for my mini scrap page of my tall child in her big school uniform.

Wish upon a Bunny

This has been on my pile of new stamps for a while and I've finally used him for the Willow Sketchy challenge.
The sentiments are by Pollycraft and I've had them ages and might have used 1 once maybe - oops!
Challenges:
Ladybug Crafts Inc - animals
Paper take weekly - creature comforts

Someone has nicked my style this week and replaced it with a bit of shabby chic a la Kathy and a bit of twinset and pearls a la Claire. But I have to say that new embossing folder is just lush.

Charisma Facebook Top Pick

I don't think a lot of people know about the Charisma challenge that runs beside their regular blog challenge mainly coz I was top pick 2 weeks in a row - I love entering it coz you don't have to write a blog post lol!


Here's the card for last week's sky theme with my Whimsy Jellybean Stamp and Cosmo Cricket papers

Teddy Bo Tuesday Again!

Whatever next a flying Olliphant - he's new today from Teddy Bo - I had to use him coz I asked for him and would have been on the naughty step (again) otherwise - not much of a hardship though lol! So I've been singing when I see an elephant fly from dumbo maybe with the correct words.

Here he is on the card floating over my MME Fine and Dandy papers with balloons made using a Woodware punch - it's amazing how many things I've dug up in my clear out. It's a new challenge today and the theme is things with wings.
If you want to get your paws on some new fur and friends we have some great new releases this week including some coloured ones that are great when you just want to throw something together.

 

 Don't forget the DT call - you too could get the chance to help Gayle's brain with some ideas!?!?!
