Allsorts Challenge #15 - Sketch by Jules

Hi all...this is my entry for this weeks Allsorts challenge...its a great sketch by Jules this week and she would love to see some torn edges too!! I made this card with my little great nephew in mind...darling Connor is starting a new Nursery School in a few weeks so I thought I would make him a card to wish him on his way.... I have made the insides with a little wallet and will write my sentiments to him on the tag and pop in some money for a treat for being a good boy...(we live in hope!!!)..lol...and hopefully Mum will take a pic of him in his new uniform..yes he has to have one at the new nursey..and then she can pop it inside and keep it to embarrass him when he's 18 !!!..lol

The image is a Sugar Nellie Manga boy...I cant wait to get my inky fingers on one of their Manga Girls..just waiting for more stock..these are just so cute. The DP's are Nana's Nursery (rather apt!!) I used a bit of Bazzill and the buttons are from stash. I added a little glossy Accents on his boots but not sure you can see that in the pic. I had to turn the sketch around to fit the image but I think I'm still within the rules!!
Do go and check out the DT cards here..they are truly lovely.
Happy Crafting!!!

Stampin Chic Challenge - Be Chic!!! - DT Item

Hi all..well its time for another Stampin Chic Challenge and this week its 'Be Chic!' which means you can create a beautiful project with the CCSR product, whether it be a card for a friend, an alter item for your home or even a scrapbook page this is your chance to BE CHIC! So grab those supplies and have fun!

Well I made an everso chic gift bag..its to hold a friends birthday pressie for next week, I have made her a necklace..but forgot to take a pic of that..silly me...anyway she isnt a pinky kinda a gal!! so I chose sophisticated black and white with lots of tulle for the bow!! The paper I used is Papermania CCSR 'The Big One' then I stamped and cut out the matching flowers from the CCSR 'Doodles' stamp set and 3D them here and there on the bag for a bit of texture!! and then I glittered and added some Craftwork Card Candy to the middle of the stamped flowers. The trim is Doodlebug Paper Frills. Now I got the idea from Fellow Blogger Tab who got the recipe for the bag here and trust me..it was so easy to do and I will definately be making more for Christmas!!!! So why not pop over to Stampin Chic and check out our DT creations and join in the fun it will be great to see you what you create for 'Be Chic' !!!

Allsorts Challenge - Week 14 - In An English Garden

Hi..now next to my love of Tildas is flowers and over at Allsorts this week the challenge is In an English Garden by the lovely Brenda. What came to mind was typical English Lavender, but sadly no lavender stamp in stash..:0( so the next best thing was to use the colour and a very favorite stamp that doesnt get aired much..and I wanted to keep it simple too. So I used Basic Grey DP's, stamp is Magnolia Large Daisy and I wrapped a little Lavender/lilac tulle around and bowed. I shimmered the petals with glimmer mist with a paint brush but you cant see it in the pic. Do go and have a look at the DT cards here..truly lovely as always...

Tilda & Friends have a great challenge this week...All that Glitters..well thats just my thing so I thought I would glitter up darling Tilda with Candle..I dont know where I got the DP from as it was just a piece I found, I added paper cherry blossoms that I edged with distress ink and then sprayed the whole ACT (yes including Tilda) with Glimmer Mist and then highlighted with Glamour Dust...so all truly shimmery and glittery!!

Hi...another great challenge this week from one of my Fav's blogs - Stamping for the weekend..this week its 'Alterations'..they want you to Alter anything you like. Now I'm not overly into this I have to be honest...but thought I would have ago with a note book I bought a little while ago to do the very same with..I had Christmas Presents in mind!!..Anyway..the DP is Doodlebug and the white square is a frame from Craftworks and its embossed with swiss dots but you cant see that in the pic. I wanted to give a lush look so I used two velvet flowers one silk and then lots of paper roses. I added a few pearl stems I got from Hobbycraft and then glittered it a bit...Oh I also used some paper lace thingys from Doodlebug and a bit of spotted ribbon from stash. After I did all this I remembered that maybe I should have used a stamped image..umm oh well trust me!! lol I'm going to enter it anyway as I made the effort!!! lol
