It's Meadie!!!!

Congratulations Meadie. Please email me and I will send your prize out to you. Next week we will start a new challenge.


Now, it is with lots of regret that we have to say goodbye to Iwona today. Due to her commitments with Spellbinders she needs to step down from Jay Gee's DT. I have absolutely loved having Iwona on the team. She is extremely talented and a great inspiration to me personally. Thank you so much Iwona, it has been a real please working with you and getting to know you better. 


Now, lets see some cards!


Iwona is certainly going out with a bang! This card is stunning. The gorgeous flower image is called 'Poppy' and is from LaBanche. The sentiment is from Jane's Doodles 'Pretty Peonies'.

 Iwona

Love this fun card from Ange and her colouring is superb. This image is 'Rollerblading Chloe' from Sparkle Creations and the sentiment is from 'Spiffy Scooters' by Paper Smooches.

 Ange

Check out this bold design from Angeline - fabulous! She has used the 'Petite Paper Pack' from Lawn Fawn and a sentiment from their 'Many Thanks' stamp set.

 Angeline

Everything on my card has been paper pieced today. LOL, I just noticed how pale she looks in the photo - she must be an English Rose!  This image is from Sparkle Creations and is called 'Celebrating Chloe'.

Thanks so much for stopping by today, your visits are very much appreciated.

Cheers

Sunday DT Post

Hello there.

The DT are back today with a wonderful range of cards to share - there is bound to be something to help inspire you today :)

Joy starts the ball rolling with this wonderful example of her fabulous colouring skills. The fun image is 'Cruisin Chloe' from Sparkle Creations - they have lots of fun images.

 Joy

Angeline made a clever card using stamps from Paper Smooches - 'Friendly Flowers' and 'Pretty Phrases'. I love the heart shape in the middle, it is very effective :)

 Angeline

Iwona has gone for an elegant look with this fabulous card, which uses the 'Poppy' stamp from La Blanche. If you have not tried these silicone stamps, give them a go, they stamp beautifully.

Iwona

 Ange showcases Lawn Fawns cute 'Love'n Breakfast' set perfectly with a set of 3 adorable mini cards. These are just so fun!

 Ange

For my card, I used the fun technique of inking up an embossing folder before running my card through it. I have done this before, but never thought about using my linen plate until I saw Laurie from SoapBox Creations do it - I loved the results.  The sheep is from Paper Smooches 'Party Posse' and the sentiment I made using Lawn Fawns 'Harold's ABCs'

Just a reminder about our current challenge - you can enter here.

Hiya!

I am officially on holidays... how blissful is that!  5 lovely weeks to, hopefully, practice my colouring... LOTS!

Let's look at some cards. Angeline is on holidays in Malaysia for a few weeks, so we are one short.

Joy's stunning card uses a wonderful 'Dogwood' stamp from La Blanche. These stamps are really wonderful - if you have not used them yet, I suggest you give them a try :)

 Joy

This card from Iwona is why I need the practice with my copics!, LOL. Another beautifully coloured image on a stunning card. This is 'Shopping Emily' from Sparkle Creations.

Iwona

I love the design of this sweet card from Ange. The lovely stamped background uses snowflakes from Lawn Fawn's 'Making Frosty Friends' and this adorable little girl is a stamp called 'Snow Day' from MFT-Pure Innocence.

 Ange

I kept my card very simple today, with just a little bit of bling to finish it off. This gorgeous image is from Sparkle Creations and is called 'Celebrating Chloe'.

Don't forget our current challenge, you will find the link on the side bar :)

LaBlanche Inspiration

Hi there.

First up, I would like to say how much I appreciate all the lovely comments I have received... thank you so much for taking the time... I really do LOVE getting comments :)

Secondly, a quick reminder about our current challenge, you can find the link on the side bar - we would love you to play along with us.

And now a card...

Last week I added some beautiful LaBlanche stamps to the store, and the lovely Joy has very kindly made a card showing what can be done with these beautiful stamps.

For best results you need to use LaBlanche's speciality paper, but the stamps themselves are so easy to use. For this card Joy stamped the image and then coloured with distress inks using Cut n Dry Nibs. She then went over the whole panel with more distress ink and her blending tool. The end result is gorgeous! These stamps are some of the most detailed on the market and really are very beautiful.

Hope you all have a wonderful day.

Jay Gee
