So here is the second card I said I'd show you that I made while cyber crafting the other night.

I've used:
Paper -Bashful Blue, Bashful Blue DSP, Not Quite Navy DSP and Whisper White
Ink - Not Quite Navy
Stamp Set - Pun Fun and Birthday Bash from Verve
Other: Seam binding, Nestabilites and Rhinestones

Here is the sketch

Yesterday BFF and I got a little time to cyber craft together, however not much crafting happened and a whole lot of chatting did!!!!
We started our cards using the Clean and Simple sketch but I didn't finish mine off until tonight.

BFF just got a colour coach and she picked these colours for me! They are Pretty in Pink, Rich Razzelberry and Early Espresso - definitely not 3 colours I would normally put together.
So here is how they look together.....

Paper -Whisper White, Pretty in Pink, Rich Razzelberry and RR DSP
Ink - Pretty in Pink, Rich Razzelberry and Early Espresso
Stamp Set - Strength and Hope, Bliss, Very Vintage wheel and Curly Cute

I decided to use the sketch on it's side for my card.


I've used:
Paper -Whisper White, Craft and Parisian Breeze DSP
Ink - Versamark
Stamp Set - A word for you
Other: White embossing powder, Nestablilites and 2 buttons from my new stash!

Mystery Bag????

Pin It

A few weekends ago I went to visit my Dad and he gave me this massive bag, it was so heavy..........


What do you think might be inside it? Lets take a peek shall we.............


What ever it is there sure is a lot of it..........


Ohhh I see now they are BUTTONS!!! Hundreds and Hundreds of buttons! So many different shapes, colours and textures.

I made a quick trip to Ikea to pick up some storage containers for them. I decided I would only use half of the bag.
Here they are all lined up and sorted by colour!

I think I've learned my lesson - never tell my Dad I'm on the look out for anything because I may get more than I wished for!!!

I think you may see a lot more buttons on my cards from now on :)

Happy Sunday

Paper -Whisper White, Basic Black, Ridinghood Red and Love Letter DSP
Ink - Copics and Tuxedo Black memento

Day trip

Pin It

Yesterday was a miserable day but I wanted to get out of the house so T and I decided to go for a day trip!!!!


We saw lots of things on the way including these cute cows!


And there was some stunning horses

Here's the beginning of the fun bit - we started the climb up the hill!
We had to go through a windy rainforest


With lots of ups and downs

Finally we came to this cute little spot and had lunch. It was to cold to eat outside so we just ate our picnic in the car.

Here's the view from the top........ stunning!!!!!!


We had such a great day exploring and relaxing in the fresh air!!!!!

I hope you've all a great weekend too :)

BLACK AND WHITE

I had this cute little chipboard birdcage and birds (from scrapmatts) that I brought agggges ago from a craft convention. It was about time that I used them and I thought they fitted perfectly for this challenge. I've just inked them up with black for the cage and white for the birds.


Notice how I daubed around the edges of the Presto Patterns paper and the hidden pattern shows up - I think it looks very elegant!!


I've used:
Paper -Whisper White, Basic Black and Presto Patterns paper
Ink - Basic Black and White craft
Stamp Set - No stamps!
Other: Black satin ribbon, lace, black bling brads and Scrapmatts Birdcage and birds
