Get Well

Hello

I have finally found some time to share a card... sorry it's been a little quite around here.  I have used the very sweet Nurse Lucy from Sparkle Creations Rubber stamps.

I am entering this card into CAS on Sunday's challenge - Get Well Soon and also into Milkcoffee's challenge - Spots and Dots.

Thanks for stopping by today :)

Sparkle Creations Release Preview - Texting Chloe

Hi everyone!

I am very excited to be sharing a sneak peek at this month's new release over at Sparkle Creations. This is Texting Chloe and she comes with lots of fabulous sentiments. 

My image is coloured with copics and then I mounted it onto a banner I cut with MFT Fishtail Banner Stax die. The sentiment was added to the side and then everything was mounted with foam tape onto this yummy polka dot paper from Echo Park.

This week we have a fun Double Embossing Challenge for you to play along with. For my card I have used Relaxing Charlotte - she does look like she is enjoying herself doesn't she!

The image was stamped 3 times - with the bubbles coloured, fussy cut and then dry embossed. The third image was used for her arm/head. I also used gold embossing powder for the sentiment (didn't photograph very well).

Skin:  E21, E00, E000

Hair: E55, E53, E51

Scarf: R85, R83, R81

Help Needed!

Hello

I made a card this morning, but now I need your help :) I thought I would add some flowers however, I am not much of an embellishment kind of girl and now I am not sure which version I like. Do I even have enough flowers, LOL!

What do you think?

The church is an old stamp from A Muse. 

I appreciate you stopping by :)

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 :)

Cheers

Jay Gee

It's Time

For another Sunday DT post!

To start this week off, we have another stunningly coloured card from Iwona using one of the Gorjuss girls - this one is called 'Fox Gloves'

 Iwona

Angeline has made another beautiful Christmas card using 'Rejoice' from Practicing Creativity. Her style is so elegant!

 Angeline

Joy has created a great 'guys' card with a mix of stamps. This fun background stamp is 'Formula Fun' from Hero Arts. The cool TV is from Paper Smooches 'Boob Tube' and the sentiment from 'Sentiment Sampler' and to finish is off, some Charcoal twine from The Twinery.

 Joy

What a fun birthday card from Ange! This is a My Favorite Things 'a-la-mode' stamp - there are lots of cute ones to choose from and they include sentiments.

 Ange

I made a very CAS card this week for the Moxie Fab World 'The Random Fun' Challenge. This fun cocktail is a Sparkle Creations stamp called 'Cocktail Emily' - I actually cut Emily off and paper pieced the rest of the image. The sentiment is from Jane's Doodles 'Big Sentiments' set.

We still have our current challenge running - Use your holiday stamps to create a Non-holiday card! We would love you to join us. You can find the link on the side bar.

Enjoy the rest of you weekend :)
