A Baby Tag

This is for the weekly sketch over at Pernickety`s, it was going to be a card, but I thought the sketch called for a tag. I used BB cs, 7 Gypsies pp, DCWV pp, & the stamped & clear embossed images are by Fancy Pants, & I inked all edges with Adirondak ink. My nicho came in the post today(for this month`s challenge over at Inkurable Stampers), & I didn`t want to open it as Joyce (of Paper Forest Design) had wrapped it so nicely...but when I finally did, I couldn`t stop playing with it LOL, it is so cute. So if I don`t post for a while it will be because I`ll be busy working on this project...TT4N

A Lay-Out, a Card, & a Tag

I`ll quickly share a LO, & a card I did for the CC over at SBT50(only got them finished at 11:30 pm monday evening, & had to upload by midnight : 0 The tag is for a sketch over at Pernickety`s. For the LO, I used some cb embossed cs painted with blue acrylic paint, & lots of white paint for the edges... For the b`day card I used a stamped Penny Black image, coloured in with wc pencils & highlighted with DM. The tag was made last night & it was the quickest to make, but I had to wait the longest for it to dry LOL, just 3 punched circles, the hearts are from Collections chipboard, coloured with red markers & covered with DM, & the trunks are left-over chipboard bits inked & also covered with DM, with a bit of gel pens doodling thrown in... Hope you like them, & thanks for visiting.

Busy, Busy, Busy...

Yep, that was me this past weekend. Friday night I was supposed to be scrapping, but DH convinced me that I NEEDED to watch a DVD with him, & I`m so glad I did...we watched "Paris, Je T`Aime", & I LOVED it...then Saturday was my BIL`s wedding(DH`s brother) so it was a full on day...& just when I thought Sunday would be a day of R&R, we were all invited to the bride`s parent`s place for a family get-together. So back to Monday, & catching up on emails etc, & I find out I was one of the lucky winners over at Inkurable Stampers (thanks Sarah) winning the Crafty Individuals prize pack (which I`m so looking forward to playing with), & then I did a bit of blurfing, & over at Sandie`s blog I find out I`m the winner of that week`s card challenge(with the card in my previous post), I`m thinking I should stay away from the computer more often LOL. Well, now back to reality & a basket full of shirts that are not going to iron themselves LOL. I hope you had a great weekend whereever in cyber-space you happen to be, & as always, thanks for stopping by.

A Quick Card

Just finished this card using Sandie`s sketch #4, BB cs, some ribbon, a bit of inking & embossing & a couple of staples for good measure...It will be going to a good home very soon : )

All Can Be Revealed...

I was so excited when I received the email from Sarah yesterday, but I had to wait to share the news... I`m one of five lucky people to get picked by Sarah, owner of Inkurable Stampers blog, to play with a nicho provided by Paper Forest Designs (Thank you Joyce), & I`m in incredibly good (looking) company. Have a look here . & while you`re there, check out the theme for this month, it`s "Seriously Spooky!" I was going to share my "Tim Holtz Stamps" ATC swaps, but I forgot to scan them b4 I mailed them to Sarah this morning : ( I`ll share when I get my returns...

In the meantime, another month has flown by, which means this weekend is CC time over at Scrapbooking top 50, & the new owner will be announced...can`t wait to see who it will be. I`ve been too busy to get too emotional about Jude leaving, but I know I`ll miss her, as will everyone else over at SBT50 , but as the old saying goes, "change is as good as a holiday", I wish you all the best in the next chapter of your life Jude. I`ve made some great online friends there, & I found so much information not only about scrapbooking, but about a whole lot of different stuff. It`s a great friendly forum, & a very informative one too, & it sounds like the new owner has some great plans up their sleeves...I`m looking forward to finding out who it is :) I should have put a "long Post" warning LOL, so if you`re still reading, I thank you, & I`ll try to have something creative to share next time you visit me...I promise, & in the meantime, have a great day/evening.

For Pernickety

This card is for the current sketch over at Pernickety`s . It had to be a monochromatic scheme, using a colour out of your comfort zone, & include something metal...I had to think hard on this one, but when looking at past cards I`ve created, I know I`m not overly fond of green...I use it a lot in scrapping LOs, but not on cards. Anyway, I realized last night that DH & I forgot a friends B`day 3 days ago,(hence the "birthdays", I figure we`ll be covered for the next few B`days LOL) I used some BB cs, DCWV pp, ribbon, I stamped & embossed the sentiment & inked the edges with Adirondak ink, & my metal bit is an old key I`ve had for a looong time, I think it`s a K & Co one...off to post it now! Thanks for visiting, & if you`re looking for a new challenge, go have a look at Pernickety`s , where Marie has 3 different blogs to choose from, & if you take part you`ll have a chance to win some gorgeous bracelets, I have my eye on the bee one...B4N

Just Because....

I received this lovely creation from Lyn during the week, but I`ve been too busy to upload it here (I have her permission).

I just love what she has done with the image, & what`s even better for me is that it brings back some beautiful memories of Paris, even though my hayfever was a real pain at the time (Spring, 4 years ago), but honestly, it was the holiday of a lifetime...Ooh La La! I still have photos I need to scrap : 0
