Exciting News!

I've been dying to spill the beans for ages and now I can tell you!  I was lucky enough to make the Skipping Stones Design Team!  

You can check out the reveal of the new team on the shop blog here!  And I couldn't make the announcement without having a card to share :)


I used Distress Inks to do a water colour wash and then stamped the image and sentiment from Heartsong 2.




I wanted to play along with CASE Study's latest challenge, 'to CASE one of our players' and I chose this gorgeous card by Sanketi.


Thanks so much for visiting :)

Congratulations Lauren. Please email me with your address and I will pop a little something in the mail for you. 

Angeline is so good at creating focal points on her cards. Here she has masked a circle and used the woodgrain stamp from 'Grunge' by Skipping Stones Designs. She then layered die cuts 'chloe stem' from Memory Box and these adorable bird dies from 'Folk Art Florals' by Wplus9.


Ange has a wonderful CAS card using dies. She has also used 'Folk Art Floral' dies from Wplus9 and combined it with 'fresh cut grass' die from MFT. The sponged clouds in the background are beautifully done.

I love the way Iwona has coloured these adorable air balloons from 'Old Fashioned Afternoon' by Sweet Stamp Shop - another fabulous CAS card.

I have used this adorable image from 'Funny Bunnies' by Lil' Inker Designs for my baby card - coloured with copics. I have also used 'Fishtail Banner' dies from MFT.


Thanks so much for stopping by :)

PRIZES! Be sure to check out the rest of the Design Team posts and comment along the way... all four sets will be given away to one lucky person.  

This first card uses the beautiful large rose image from Roses - this is such a gorgeous set. I teamed it with a sentiment from Just Dad and some yummy paper from Basic Grey.
My next card uses Fly High. I stamped the small clouds onto patterned paper and then sewed them together and made them into grass/bushes. The flowers were stamped using Versamark ink and then clear embossed. I coloured with a distress marker and then wiped it off leaving the dark outlines.


And lastly, I made this tag using the adorable Winnie digital stamp. We don't celebrate Halloween here, but I just could not pass up a chance to use this little cutie :)

EAD Designs Blog Hop


Hello and welcome to this weeks EAD Designs blog hop.


You should have arrived here from the super lovely Jessica's blog. If you would like to start the hop from the beginning, go to the EAD Designs blogOne hopper will win free vinyl  - so the more you comment on each blog along the way, the more chances you have to win! 

I need to start by apologising for the poor quality of the photo, it looks blurred to me and I could not fix it :(  

I wanted to add a bit of colour to the image and because these stickerz are transparent I just coloured randomly with my copics on the background paper and then applied the sticker on top.  The sentiment is computer generated.
Here are the EAD products that I used:

 EAD Designs Vintage Treasures



                                
Ok, time to hop on over to Julie's blog to see what fun project she has made:)

Jay Gee's Nook - And A Welcome Back

Hello

I have some truly gorgeous cards to share with you today, but first, I would like to welcome back Iwona to the Jay Gee's Nook Design Team! We are so excited to have her join us again :)

And can I just say WOW! This card is amazing - Iwona is certainly back with a bang :) Superb colouring as always. This adorable image is called 'The Runaway' from Gorjuss.


I LOVE the elegant look of this bookmark. Angeline used 'Beautiful Botanicals' from Skipping Stones Designs. Make sure you pop on over to Angeline's blog - she has made more of these gorgeous bookmarks in a variety of colours.


How perfect is this card from Ange!  It is brilliant use of negative die space for a fun rainbow effect. The image is from Paper Smooches 'Teen Routine' and the music notes die is from MFT.


For my card I used this super sweet 'Poppy' image from Purple Onions Designs, coloured with Prisma pencils (still learning to get the hang of these :)) The sentiment is from Jane's Doodles 'Just Dad' set and the little banners from 'Party Time'. The embossed background is an old Cuttlebug folder called 'bloom dots'.

I am entering this into the current Simon Says Challenge -Animal Antics.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend :)

Hello

Are you having a lovely weekend? Mine is very quiet, but that's just what I needed after a busy week at work :)

I have some fabulous cards to share with you today. Ange has gone girly and bright with this gorgeous birthday card. I love this colour combo and isn't her colouring amazing! This very sweet image is 'Balloon Kaylee' from Some Odd Girl.


Wow, Angeline just has such a fabulous clean style and all her cards are just gorgeous! This is such a clever use of the 'Chloe stem' die from Memory Box.


I have a friend who just got a new puppy, so I thought I would make a tag to go onto a bag of dog food I got as a 'welcome' present. The tag is a die from MFT - 'Tag - You're it'. The little puppy is stamped on patterned paper and it and the sentiment are from 'Buddie-Bee' by the Sweet Stamp Shop. To finish it off I added twine from The Twinery.


It's hard to tell in the first photo, but the puppy was pieced and lifted with dimensional foam.


Well, I am going to be having a busy time on the blog this week, starting tomorrow, so I hope you will pop back and have a look.

Thanks for stopping by:)
