I'm back today sharing a wedding card I recently completed for my nephew's wedding. As I'm writing this, the card is winging its way to South Africa (albeit a bit late) LOL<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
The stamp is by <a href="http://www.tiddlyinks.com/">Tiddly Inks</a>. I stamped the image in Memento Tuxedo Black, and used Copics to colour it. I followed <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ADqXuaGSh-Y&feature=c4-overview&list=UUopFHJ7KOTvcxwBufsdVFwA">this</a> Kit & Clowder tutorial (by Alyce Keegan) for the colouring.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I absolutely adore this image! It is super cute and just perfect!</div>

I know things have been very quiet on the blog front but I'm back today with some very exciting news! My friend Jody from <a href="http://www.treasuredtimesrubberstamps.com/products/our-stamps/?__utma=28353017.405458155.1365489537.1371452191.1371877910.4&__utmb=28353017.4.10.1371877910&__utmc=28353017&__utmx=-&__utmz=28353017.1371877910.4.3.utmcsr=facebook.com|utmccn=(referral)|utmcmd=referral|utmcct=/&__utmv=-&__utmk=180435364">Treasured Times Rubber Stamps & Scrapbooking</a> has asked me to be on her DT and I have accepted. So without any further delay, here are two projects I created with some of Jody's stamps:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwx5y1aKYvy-b0ON08behGxEqqXCTwGFwCxuzAc6FwD4lgd_z2B0lmvP5sL2PZ5BdgxaYpRGICXXs6va1pxXc5DNs9Vowy4y0u13Rbuu1RpeotJiNEE_nX3V-dT2FP4fV9p7AYid6BBAI/s1600/SAM_1081.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="365" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwx5y1aKYvy-b0ON08behGxEqqXCTwGFwCxuzAc6FwD4lgd_z2B0lmvP5sL2PZ5BdgxaYpRGICXXs6va1pxXc5DNs9Vowy4y0u13Rbuu1RpeotJiNEE_nX3V-dT2FP4fV9p7AYid6BBAI/s400/SAM_1081.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The angels were designed by <b><i>Karen Strubel</i></b> and is entitled "United We Stand". This is available as a clear rubber stamp. I decided to use the images to decorate some treat boxes (which I cut out using my brand new Silhouette Cameo).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I coloured the angels with Copic markers and added ribbon, twine and buttons.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
For this box I fussy cut the stars and overlapped them before gluing them together.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I also created a set of small notecards, using a stamp designed by <b><i>Terrye French</i></b> entitled</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
'Pot of Swirley Flowers':</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I stamped the notecards using Memento Tuxedo Black ink and used my Copics to colour the image. I also sponged some Tim Holtz distress ink over the background. Lastly, I added some Stickles in green, red and blue before mounting the images on some BoBunny paper (Alora Collection).<br />

<br />
Today, I have various projects to share with you and I may as well get into it straight away!<br />
<br />
My first project goes back to Easter, and I used some of the latest Easter stamps by <b>Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps</b>. The set I used is entitled 'Easter Blessings'. I stamped it with Memento Tuxedo Black and coloured the image using Copic Markers. The background is sponged with Tim Holtz distress inks in 'Tumbled Glass' and 'Peeled Paint'.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The following two creations were made with the 'Wild About You' stamp set by <b>GinaK Designs</b>. This stamp set is one of my all time favourites and I can't use it enough! I copied Theresa Momber's background technique, sponging the sun and the other colours using various Memento inks. Lastly, I stamped the tree and the giraffe images in Memento Tuxedo Black. The burlap twine is from my stash and the button and trinket accompany the <b>BoBunny</b> 'Zoology' collection.</div>

A while ago, a friend asked me to make a Bob the Builder card for a great nephew's 4th birthday, and this is what I've come up with:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrpA2pwYthTjsYyaO6xTH7o6i5Eb1wxpxxEZbWLGRZ4JJJaR9T7rVcAr7othdL5k745sjDBckyTp8xdGtHDIJDegAnygZe6DNScf0cpCXzBbJJC_RLAYqEIM8B2lkCZmuV4Xc_CJxXITQ/s1600/SAM_1024.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="277" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrpA2pwYthTjsYyaO6xTH7o6i5Eb1wxpxxEZbWLGRZ4JJJaR9T7rVcAr7othdL5k745sjDBckyTp8xdGtHDIJDegAnygZe6DNScf0cpCXzBbJJC_RLAYqEIM8B2lkCZmuV4Xc_CJxXITQ/s320/SAM_1024.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I printed a BTB colouring sheet onto Xpressit Copic Blending Card and coloured Bob and Pilchard using Copic markers. I sponged the background using a cloud die cut and some distress ink. After fussy-cutting them, I mounted Bob using an Action Wobble and added googly eyes to both images.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I cut the tree (leaves part) and the grass with cloud and grass dies by My Favourite Things.The tree trunk is paper-pieced and stamped with the 'Home Is' stamp set by GinaK Designs (illustrated by Tami Mayberry).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I also added glossy accents to Bob's hat, belt buckle and tools.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Lastly, I'd like to show you my entry for this week's Mix it up Monday Challenge over on StampTV. My friend Lee is our host this week, and she challenged us to either create or re-make a box project and add something with wings. I've had these little hexie boxes sitting in my craft cupboard for a while now and they are ideal!! For this project, however, I forgot to add the 'wings' element :( but its cute anyway!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used the 'Sweet Strawberries' stamp set by GinaK Designs and combined it with Gina's 'Berries and Vines' DP. I stamped the strawberries using Memento Tuxedo Black ink and coloured them with Copic markers. The red card is 'Red Hot' also by GinaK.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I cut the hexie shapes for the lid using a set of hexagon dies by the <b>Sweet Stamp Shop.</b> For the sides I measured and cut the paper and card with my paper cutter.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The swirls were punched with my wave flourish punch and the ribbon, pearls and tulle are from my stash. I also added Stickles in 'Fruit Punch'.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Although these boxes are really small, they are ideal for small little gifts! Think Mother's Day! Here are some gift ideas:</div>

Yes, I know things have been very quiet on the blog front but alas that goes with the territory of trying to run a household, work part-time and try and upskill on the side! LOL I've had very little crafty time lately and the projects are piling up (not to mention the pent up craftyness).<br />
Anyhow, I have a couple of projects to show you today. The first one is a girly card I made using the 'Thank You' digi from Saturated Canary:<br />

I seriously loooove the digi! She is super cute! I coloured her with Copic Markers and added some Stickles and Glossy Accents. The ribbon is from the Ribbon Carousel and the flowers are from my stash.</div>

For my next project I had to think outside the square. I also entered these into Paper piecing challenge over on StampTV. I used a butterfly stamp from the StampTV Spring Silhouette Kit. After stamping the butterflies, I fussy cut each one and then cut the wings off the butterflies and turned them into flower petals instead.</div>

<br />
Welcome back! This week I'm showcasing a range of recent creations. At the moment I'm just creating as I have time and as inspiration hits. As a family, we've had a very busy and stressful 4 months and at the moment I'm taking the time to have a breather and just create for the fun of it.<br />
<br />
My first card is a little pink donkey I've had sitting on my computer for ages! I'm so pleased that I printed her out and had a go at colouring her. I love the final result so much, that I printed another one and turned that into a little blue donkey LOL. These images are by <a href="http://www.meljensdesigns.com/">Meljen's Designs</a> and they are super cute for that perfect baby card!<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I coloured both donkeys with Copic Markers. And cardstock are all from GinaK Designs.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The DP for the pink donkey is a little scrap from my stash.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The DP for the blue donkey is from the 'A Boy's Life' collection by Echo Park.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The salmon coloured ribbon is Crushed Silky Ribbon by the <a href="http://ribboncarousel.com/The_Ribbon_Carousel.html">Ribbon Carousel</a> and the blue twine is by The Twinery.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
All the other embellishments are from my stash.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've also been very busy making thank you cards for a number of people, and have been inspired by one of <a href="http://melaniemuenchinger.blogspot.co.nz/2013/03/new-gina-k-products-now-available.html">Melanie Muenchinger's</a> latest creations (click on the link to visit Melanie's blog and see her fab tutorials):<br />

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Again, all cardstock are by GinaK Designs.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The image and sentiment are from the '<i>Nature's Greetings</i>' set by GinaK Designs and were stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used Copic markers to colour the images and added stickles to the centre of each flower.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Lastly, I just had to use this Fairytale Princess digi image by <a href="http://saturated-canary.myshopify.com/">Saturated Canary</a>. This image reminds me of all the fairy tales I read as a child and I'm entering it into this week's challenge #39 "<i>Read All About It</i>". I'm also entering this card into this month's challenge over at the Ribbon Carousel (RCC #78 - Spring).</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Cardstock is by GinaK Designs. The DP is from the '<i>Lost & Found 3</i>' collection by My Mind's Eye.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I coloured the princess using Copic markers and added stickles to her dress. I cut out the image using my Cuttlebug and a circle die by Spellbinders. I sponged some TH distress ink in Faded Jeans around the image.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

For my latest creation, I decided to yet again use one of my favourite <a href="http://saturatedcanary.blogspot.co.nz/">Saturated Canary</a> images (I know, I have quite a few) and I LOVE colouring them! This card is also my DT contribution for this week's <a href="http://outlawzchallenges.ning.com/group/saturdayscarpbookingchallenge">Paper a la Mode</a> challenge over on <i><b>The Outlawz Challenges</b></i> (Anything Goes).<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
I coloured the image with <i>Copic Markers</i>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The Ribbon is by the <i>Ribbon Carousel</i> and the lace is by <i>Kaisercraft</i>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The flowers and pearlies are from my stash.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The heart shapes are wooden veneers by <i>Studio Calico</i>.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

It's my turn this week to host the challenge for the <span style="color: purple;"><i>Purple Team</i></span> over at <a href="http://eclecticellapu.blogspot.co.nz/">Eclectic Ellapu</a>. A while ago, I was asked to make a card for a special wedding anniversary and I really had to think carefully about it. I'm challenging you this week to also give it a go.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
I used white and emerald green for a 20th Wedding Anniversary card. The cardstock is GinaK Designs pure luxury White and All Spruced Up. The DP is from the Victoria Garden pack by Echo Park. The image is by <a href="http://www.tiddlyinks.com/">Tiddly Inks</a> and was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. The white lace is by Kaisercraft.<br />
I die cut 2 flourishes with my MFT flourish die and added pearlies, stickles and a flower from my stash.</div>
<br />
To make it easier, here is a short list of wedding anniversary 'colours':<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
1st Yellow</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
5th Turquoise</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
10th Silver</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
20th Emerald Green</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
25th Silver</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
30th Green</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
40th Ruby</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Welcome back! Yes, its weekend again and somehow the weeks seem to fly by! I'm back today, sharing my creation for this week's challenge over at <a href="http://outlawzchallenges.ning.com/group/saturdayscarpbookingchallenge">The Outlawz Challenges</a> (Paper a la Mode Team). This week, your challenge is to create something with either the word 'Love' or heart shapes somewhere on it. Since Krista Smith from <a href="http://saturated-canary.myshopify.com/">Saturated Canary</a> had a fabulous freebie digi last week, I decided it would be ideal for this challenge! (I'm also entering this card into the <a href="http://saturatedcanarychallenge.blogspot.co.nz/">Saturated Canary Challenge #36</a> as well as the <a href="http://blog.markerpop.com/2013/01/21/markerpop-challenge-15/">MarkerPop Challenge #15</a>) Please hop over to Saturated Canary and visit Krista's shop - she'll love having you. Be prepared though to fall in love with her art!! LOL<br />

<br />
I coloured this little lady, using <i>Copics</i> and sponged the edge with <i>Tim Holtz</i> distress ink in Spun Sugar. The card base is <i>GinaK Designs</i> pure luxury in Kraft and the DP layers are all from the Paris Girl pack by <i>Carta Bella</i>. I added stickles, pearlies, glossy accents and the love charm from my stash, and oh yes, the ribbon .... need I say more .... as always its the Silky Crushed Ribbon from the <i><a href="http://ribboncarousel.com/">Ribbon Carousel</a></i> (you'll see me use this ribbon LOTS over the next few weeks, or however long it takes to run out! LOL) I used my wave flourish punch for the flourishes.<br />
<br />
Thanks so much for popping in. Don't forget to come back tomorrow, as I'll be sharing my creation for this week's Purple Challenge with Eclectic Ellapu!<br />

I'm back today to tell you about a stamp company I recently discovered: <a href="http://www.someoddgirl.com/">Some Odd Girl Stamps</a>. Boy are their stamps CUTE! I purchased two digis to play with, and would love to share my first attempt with you:<br />

This little guy is super-cute and his name is Rockin' Kody. You can find him in the shop under characters (click on Kody). When I saw this image, I knew it would be perfect for a teenage-boy card! I coloured him with Copics. The DP are all from the 'Generation' paper tablet by Little Yellow Bicycle.<br />
<br />
Thanks for looking! I'll be back soon to share what I've done with the other image.<br />
<br />
Toodles!<br />

Welcome back to this week's post! Gosh, it felt like it was New Year just yesterday and its almost February already! Well, I had to hurry to get my entry in for the January challenge over at the <a href="http://blog.ribboncarousel.com/search/label/Challenge">Ribbon Carousel</a>!<br />
<br />
This month's challenge is 'Winter Spirit' (RCC76) and this is what I've come up with:<br />

<span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>The DP is Echo Park's 'Winter Park' and the cardstock is GinaK pure luxury heavy based in white.</i></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>The image is from the Penny Black 'Mimi's Christmas' set, stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and coloured with Copics.</i></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>I cut the image out using my Spellbinders Circles and sponged the edges with Tim Holtz d/i in Peacock Feathers.</i></span></div>

My project for this week's Paper a la Mode team over on <a href="http://outlawzchallenges.ning.com/group/saturdayscarpbookingchallenge/forum/topics/paper-ala-mode-january-26th-february-1st-anything-goes">The Outlawz Challenges</a> happen to be some scrapbooking pages as it fits perfectly with the '<i>Anything Goes</i>' theme. The Teenager went off to a sleepover on Friday morning, which gave me ample time to just sit and create until late at night. I dabble with scrapbooking from time to time but don't always have time for it (or the space on my craft desk!). </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Since spotting the new Echo Park 'For the Record 2' range a couple of months ago, I've been collecting all the bits and pieces in the range and I've been using the 6x6 papers in my card making but decided on using the 12x12 sheets for scrapbooking because I just love it so much!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm really pleased with the end result!</div>

This week's <b><i><span style="color: #d5a6bd; font-size: large;">Mix it up Monday</span></i></b> challenge over on <a href="http://stamptv.ning.com/forum/topics/stv13mon2-it-s-tag-time">StampTV</a> is to create tags. I created these four tags to accompany various gifts. Tags are so versatile and can often replace a card. Plus, they are perfect for using those little scraps you can't bear to throw away!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I stamped both the image and sentiments with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and used my Tim Holtz distressing tool on the pink and black cardstock. I sponged Tim Holtz Spun Sugar distress ink around the edges of the white card base. The ribbon and pearlies are from my stash.</div>

I'm back today with my first post for the <a href="http://craftycardgallery.blogspot.co.nz/">Crafty Card Gallery</a>. My lovely friend, Jennifer, asked me to post a few creations this week, and this is the first one:<br />

<br />
All cardstock is Pure Luxury Heavy Based by GinaK Designs. The images and sentiment are by the<b><i><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><span style="color: purple;">Sweet Stamp Shop</span></i></b> (Happy Bugs & Pattern Craze). I stamped the bees using Memento Tuxedo Black, coloured them with Copic Markers and fussy cut them. I added some stickles, glossy accents and pearls and added some twine by <b><i><span style="color: blue;">Timeless Twine</span></i></b> for the feelers. I stamped the honeycomb pattern using Memento Cantaloupe and sponged Tim Holtz Squeezed Lemonade distress ink over the top. I also sponged this around the edges of the card base.<br />

All cardstock is by Pure Luxury, Heavy Based by GinaK Designs. The pink and white gingham DP is a left over piece from my stash and the twine is by Timeless Twine. I added rhinestones, stickles and glossy accents from my stash.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The image is '<i>Alicia and her little cat</i>' by Alicia Bel.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I printed the image and coloured it using Copic Markers and then fussy cut it. I really struggle with colouring digis, as I find the Copic Markers cause 'bleeding' and streaking. This seems to be worse for lighter colours. I've tried printing in Draft mode and I heat set the images with a heat gun after printing. Any ideas??</div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today, I'm sharing the first challenge of 2013 for the <span style="color: #674ea7; font-size: large;"><b><i>Purple Team</i></b></span> at <a href="http://eclecticellapu.blogspot.co.nz/">Eclectic Ellapu</a>.<br />
This week, your challenge is to create anything with 'snow activities'. This is what I've come up with:</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The cardstock is <a href="http://www.shop.ginakdesigns.com/">GinaK Designs</a> Pure Luxury Heavy Based in White and the DP (red strip and snowflakes) is from the Blitzen range by BoBunny. I ran the card base through my Cuttlebug, using the Swiss Dots embossing folder. The button is also from the Blitzen range by BoBunny. The image and sentiment are from the 'Tree Traditions' stamp set by <a href="http://www.sweetstampshop.com/4x6sets/?sort=featured&page=2">Sweet Stamp Shop</a>. I stamped it with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and coloured it using Copic markers. The polaroid frame was made using the 'Snapshot Fun' die, also by Sweet Stamp Shop.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The twine is by <a href="http://www.timelesstwine.bigcartel.com/">Timeless Twine</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Lastly, I added some stickles and rhinestones from my stash.<br />
<br />
