Sweet Surprise

Good Morning,

Just a quick update from my WOYWW yesterday.  I gave a sneek peek of a card I was working on.  Well last night I managed to get it finished so time for the grand unveiling!

Supplies Used:
Penny Black 'Sweet Surprise'
ProMarkers
Backing paper (polka dots)- Papermania
Backing papers - Pink Petticoat 'Swirls & Curls'
Anita Gems
Glossy Accents
Stickles
Zipper - Plain white zipper coloured using my ProMarkers and then glued to form the flower

Challenges Entered:
Passion For ProMarkers - 'For Mum/Female Relative'

I'm not sure that my card will be suitable for the ProMarkers challenge, the colouring of the image is not as complex and detailed as I am sure the rest of the submissions are, however I felt the stamp would suit being coloured in simply or not at all.  Purely a personal preference, would love to know how you would have dealt with it!

Another busy day of work ahead for me, hope you all have a better day than me planned.

WOYWW

Good Morning,

Time for another snoop around each others crafting spaces.  This week I am showing off my mess in its full glory!  Julia at Stampin' Ground has started things off as usual with a glance at her workspace.

Had to take this picture last night as I am super busy at work right now, so was out the door at the crack of dawn.

You will see a card I am working on lying on the desk, I bought a new Penny Black stamp so as usual when I get a new stamp I want to make something with it as soon as possible.

Will hopefully have time for a snoop round the rest of the blogs tonight.

Snippet Playground Time

Good Morning,

Time to head over to the Snippet Playground for my turn on the swings! Di opened the playground with a fab card for a man, always a difficult one for us card makers.

My card this week was made using bits I had left over from playing with some news bits for my stash.

Now I know that Di has been dying to see my wedding invitations, so I decided to use the playground for the grand unveiling! (this is going to be such an anticlimax).

Ta Da!!!!!

Di has come up with the suggestion of my bloggy buddies coming along on the big day and using their trimmers to form an arch instead of swords!  I personally think she is just wanting to use up her snippets as confetti!

Hope you all like the invitations.

Less Is More - Week 57

Good Afternoon,

Hope you have had a nice weekend.  It was my futures Mother in Law's birthday on Friday so we had Jamie's family down to stay for the weekend.  We had a lovely weekend with them, but unfortunately this meant I wasn't able to get my LIM card made till this afternoon, although it gave me plenty of time to ponder over what I was going to do.  And as usual my card turned out nothing like I thought it would!

This weeks challenge is a colour and Chrissie & Mandi have chosen 'neutrals'. Not something I would normally use for making a card but here is the end result.

Have to admit it is not my favourite card I have ever made, but it is good to try something different and as the saying goes 'its the taking part that counts'.  The stamp is Fiskars 'Elegant Vines' but the colour of the ink hasn't shown up well in the picture.  It looks darker in 'real life'.

Away to see what everybody else came up with for this weeks challenge.

Gunnin'

Good Morning All,

One of Jamie's good friends 30th birthday is coming up and when I found this digistamp I knew it would be perfect for his card.  They spend many hours online with their xbox's gunnin' as they like to call it. I call it being a big kid! But hey whatever keeps him out of my hair while I escape to my crafting room can't be a bad thing!

Supplies Used:
Mo's Digital Pencil - Game On
ProMarkers
Basic Grey - Origins Paper pad
Brads - From my stash

Mother's Day

Good Morning,

Yesterday I was asked by a work colleague to make a Mother's Day card for her 80 year old Mother in Law.  Does anybody else get excited when they are asked to make a card? That little sense of pride kicks in that there is somebody else out there that likes what you make.  I also made a Christmas card for the same Mother in Law so I knew she liked flowers, so I decided to make that my main focal point.

Supplies Used:
Stamp - Free Vintage Digital Stamps
ProMarkers
Sizzix textured impressions folder (part of the dots and flowers set)
Ribbon & pearls from my stash
Crafters Companion patterned paper (came free with a magazine)

Challenges Entered:
Passion For Promarkers

I hope my work colleague likes the card, although I have the feeling she would be too polite to say otherwise!
