Happy New Year!

Did you have fun ringing in the New Year?  LOL... I had a lovely dinner with my family, but midnight saw me tucked up in my bed fast asleep :)

I have had a wee little blogging break, however, I have been busy practicing with my copics... it is one of my goals this year to get much better... I do see progress, but it is slow going.

Here is one of my recent efforts using the adorable 'Rose' from Gorjuss.  I thought she looked quite contrite, hence the sorry sentiment.

Wishing you all the best for 2013, may it bring each of you happiness.

Cheers

Hello

What a busy week it has been! I love this time of year, but there are just so many things that need to be done and never enough time in which to do them :)

Angeline is on a break this week, but I do have some very cute cards to share with you.

Let's start with this delightful card from Iwona with her mad colouring skills! This sweet little girl is called 'The Lost Heart' from Gorjuss and the sentiment is from 'Chit Chat' by Paper Smooches.

 Iwona

Ange has a really fun Christmas card with these two handsome guys! They are both from 'Freezy Fellas' by Paper Smooches.

 Ange

I love this little bee called 'Sweet Bee' from Lil' Inker Designs and thought she would look cute holding a balloon for a fun birthday card. The sentiment is from 'Just Dad' by Jane's Doodles.

For all my Australian friends, FREE SHIPPING on all orders from the shop continues until 24th December. 

Cheers for now :)

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.

Iwona

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.

Ange

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 :)

Ange has made a fun and clever card using this sweet little mermaid. The set is called 'Awashed' from Gorjuss. With the waves above her head it feels like she is underwater, brilliant!

Ange

For my card today, I have used this adorable 'Tooth Fairy Klara' stamp from Jane's Doodles - isn't she sweet. The sentiment is 'Pretty Phrases' from Paper Smooches and the paper is from Lawn Fawn.

Well, I need to go and clean the house, so enjoy the rest of your weekend and thanks for stopping by :)

It's Sunday...

... which means it's time for a Jay Gee's Nook DT post :)

First up today we have this lovely, elegant one layer card from Angeline. I love the rich red teamed with white on kraft - all stamps are from Jane's Doodles 'Pretty Peonies' set.

 Angeline

If you find masculine cards hard to make, then look no further than Joy's wonderful blog for inspiration - she often makes fantastic masculine cards and this one is no exception. For the background she has used Hero Arts 'Newspaper Background' and the clock is from Hero Arts 'Special Time' set.

 Joy

Isn't this card just so sweet! Iwona has really highlighted this adorable image with her amazing colouring and wonderful card design. The stamp is called 'Bluebirds Proposal' from Gorjuss.

 Iwona

CAS at its best describes Ange's awesome card! I love how she has layered this fun gnome from Paper Smooches 'Forest Whimsy' set. The fun speech bubble is a Die-namics die from MFT.

 Ange

Like most of us, I have a nice collection of patterned paper that sits on my desk. Occasionally I look through it, I might even use a tiny bit to do some paper piecing, but the majority just sits. So when I saw the current challenge over at Lily Pad - to make a card that uses patterned paper - it was the perfect incentive to actually USE some of that paper that just sits.

The paper is from Basic Grey's 'Life of the Party' and the sentiment strip is from Purple Onion Designs. The sassy cat from Paper Smooches 'Party Posse' is coloured with distress inks.

And lastly, I would like to remind you about our current challenge - all the details are here :)

Have a wonderful Sunday.

Hello and welcome to another Design Team post. I have some fabulous cards to share today, but first a reminder about our current challenge - you can find all the details here. You still have plenty of time to play and the inspiration is so gorgeous.

Lets start off with this fun card from Ange - I just love the rainbow of pencils in the jar. The stamps used are from 'Brilliant' by Hero Arts/Basic Grey and the sentiment on the flag is from 'Fruitastic' by Paper Smooches.

 Ange

Next, we have a fabulous tag, perfect for a male birthday.  Iwona has used the fun 'Birthday Noteblock' from Purple Onion Designs.  Love all the extra little details on this tag.

 Iwona

From masculine to girly - this gorgeous card by Angeline is definitely one for the girls.  The wonderful sentiment is from 'Many Thanks' by Lawn Fawn.

 Angeline

I love this sweet card from Joy and that adorable image, which is so beautifully coloured. This is 'Puddles of Love' from Gorjuss.

 Joy

I just adore all the images in Paper Smooches 'Party Posse' set, especially this cute little guy.  I saw a similar card idea on the Paper Smooches blog and just had to make my own version. 

Enjoy whats left of your weekend :)
