Snowmen Trio

Hello everyone and Happy Friday and it's a long weekend here in the UK, hope you all have something nice planned..

Do you remember a short while back when I posted my LOTV Snowmen trio card in blue and white I said that I was setting myself a challenge to create a snowman card that isn't blue and white.. Well I've achieved it! Although I think it looks good, I still prefer white and blue....lol

I used Snowmen trio again from LOTV

Simple Joy papers and sentiment tags also from LOTV.

The wide organza ribbon was from my stash.

Come Fly With Me

Good morning everyone, 

Hope you are all well and enjoying this great British 'summer' weather :-(

The boys school holidays are almost over and all we are getting is rain, fed up of it now..

Anyway on a more cheery note, we have a new challenge starting today over at The Paper Shelter

And our theme is  COME FLY WITH ME 

I decided to use the cute Magic Bubble Bath precoloued image for my card

I'm quite liking the Matt and layering onto white card stock lately.. I went for lots of depth with this one so using foam tape and silicone glue to add the layered to the card base..

The papers are Wild Rose Studio, the sentiment from a scruffy little cat stamp set.

And of course the gorgeous lace and ribbon both from Crafty Ribbons

 Our sponsors this week as always are Veronica and Pedro of The Paper Shelter and they are offering you a fabulous prize of $30. to spend on their website.

and this is given when you have used one of The Paper Shelter products on your card and this could be either a image, paper or printable and you will find a very comprehensive selection here on their website, but even if you have not they will still give you 3 digi images or your own choice.  And please remember that you are only able to enter 3 cards and at least one of those must carry one of our TPS products.

Hello everyone.

How's your Sunday going, I've been in my craft room as planned, got a few wedding cards made for orders, I will share these another day but for now I want to share a wall hanging I made a few days ago..

These sentiment stamps came free with a recent magazine and thought they would make great plaques.. So I covered a wooden precut wall hanging base with coreordinates card that I sanded on the edges.. Then added a panel of LOTV papers also inked and distressed on the edges.

Embellished with pretty flowers and gems from WOC

The Ribbon is my all time favourite from crafty ribbons called Vintage rose

Thanks for stopping by today.

I'm hoping to do some blog hopping after dinner if all goes to plan ;-)

Evening everyone,

I'm back with my second post for today, thanks for all the comments on earlier a floral makes.  I'm here now to Share a little sneaky peak at the lovely new Christmas trio stamps lili of the valley will be releasing in a few weeks :-)

These are really wonderful stamps and I loved  making this card, however myself and Marianne have discussed that we tend to make all our snowmen creations in blue and white.. Therefore I've now set myself a challenge to use these stamps to create a card NOT using blue and white...:-/ 

Wish me luck and watch this space for the result lol

Sheena's Perfect Partners

Good morning bloggers and Happy Friday 

It's going to be a wet and dark one here I think :-(

Oh well More time to craft... 

I'm sharing some more samples I made for the Crafter's Companion German shows 

Using the fantastic Shenna anemone stamp and die set and the Sheena Lily Stamp and Die Sets. These are just wonderful to work with. And there are more flowers in the perfect partner range :-)

I coloured these pretty Lily's with Spectrum Aquas 

I embossed the background with flutterby butterfly embosslicious folder and then inked with spun sugar distress ink.. Finished off with a pink ribbon and some pearls from my stash.

For this one I also coloured the flowers with Spectrum Aquas.. I used the leaf vein embossing folder for the background and the trellis die.  Again finished off with a bit of ribbon and pearls from my stash..

Challenges

http://asyoulikeitchallenge.blogspot.co.uk/2015/08/favourite-2-embellishments-and-why.html

As regular visitors to my blog will know my most 2 favourite embellys for my cards are ribbon and pearls, I use these on almost all of my creations, especially ribbon. I think it just adds extra texture and luxury and the pearls finish off the centre of flowers or corners of cards beautifully...
