Inkspiration challenge #16

Whoa! Just scraping in by the skin of my teeth!!! I've been wanting to play along with more of these challenges,but other things have had to come first. Not today though, I scrapped on & off throughout the day until it was done.


Makeesha's colour challenge was Taken with Teal, Real Red, Pumpkin Pie & Whisper White. Yay, I had all the colours & some cute photos of Will to scrap from my brothers wedding last month. These words sum up the photos perfectly (I think so anyway!) Laugh like no one's listening Dance like no one's watching Live as if heaven is right here on earth. ( I played around on the computer and printed onto white cardstock)

cardstock:whisper white, taken with teal, pumpkin pie, real red.
DSP: pumpkin pie from 'Hoppy Memories' scrap kit & taken with teal *retired
Accessories:mat pack, white gel pen, build a brad, kaleidoscope buttons,bright delight rub-ons, 'Flirty' ric rac *retired, spiral punch, journalling pen, sticker strip/ribbon from Hoppy Memories kit, embroidery thread

Sorry about the quality of the photo, I will take a better one during the day & replace!

Just a quick note...

Hi all, just a quick note to let you all know Stampin' Up have been working their magic once again & have come up with a 'Christmas Gift Giving' guide.
You willl find ideas for neighbours, cardmakers, scrapbookers, kids & teens and some always handy stocking stuffers!!! What's even better news is that if (when!) you spend $85 from the guide you will receive a free scallop square punch (valued at $30.95) This offer is not limited to one per order either, for every $85 you spend you get a punch! There's another present off the list! This fab offer starts November 1st & finishes December 14, so make a list & check it twice, then contact me for some freebie fun shopping!
I've also got some cards to show, but I'll put those up when Buster goes back to bed!

White Rose, Real Saffron

Ok, super quick post...Here's my card for Makeesha's colour challenge.

The colours are Real Red, So Saffron, Regal Rose & Whisper White.

The photo's a bit dodgy, will se if I get time to take a better one! My rose butterflies were stamped in white ink, clear embossed & covered with fine glitter. I also stamped the butterfly image onto the saffron paper (under the rose butterflies) & clear embossed.

Gotta run- need to make my costume for tomorrow nights netball wind-up...should be lots of fun..... Vegas, here I come!!!!

Inspiration Challenge #11

Wow, 6 weeks since I was last here!

I'm joining in the fun of Makeesha's Inspiration Challenge. This time just a picture, not a sketch or colour combo-just a picture...hmm. Here it is-What would you do with it?


Here's my attempt...

For this one I tried out a new stamp from Kasazz, Cafe Silhouette-pretty cute!
I used So Saffron patterned paper from Walk in the Park, Baja Breeze & Basic Black cardstock, 'just because' from Everyday Celebrations (I think that's the name of it!) brads, piercing, all mounted with dimensionals on a white bazzill cardstock base.

Onto the next one...again white base, this pretty Basic Grey DSP is also from Walk in the Park, I've stamped the cup onto white bazzill & watercoloured, mounted with basic black a bit of baja ribbon & some brads.

Thanks for looking- what do you think, too plain or does it pass???

Sketch Challenge 1,2 & 3

Makeesha has another challenge on her blog, this time a sketch. I had fun playing with new stuff, including my 'nesties' - I love them!

I obviously enjoyed the sketch because I made 3 cards using it. I used a bit of creative ad-lib when it came to the shape of the panel, after all, I did want to try out my nestabilities.
