Fairy Card

Today I am here to share with you my latest creation for Angie Delarie :)

She has drawn up some cute little fairies that we got to play with and here is what I did with Fairy 3 :) These lil cuties can be purchased here.


I coloured her up with copics and here are the colours I used:
Skin: E000, E00, E21, E11 and R20
Hair: E11, E15, E17 and E19
Heart: RV02, RV04, RV06 and RV09
Green: YG61 and YG67
Yellow: Y11, Y13 and Y15
Orange: YR000, YR02 and YR04

I used Stampin" Up cardstock and papers and some cute little flowers I found in my stash along with some MME twine and a sticker from My Little Yellow Bicycle "Hello Spring" collection.


And just a couple of close ups of this cute little fairy :) 


I don't know if you have noticed but I think my colouring has improved a heap and would like to give full credit to Alyce over at Kit and Clowder!! She colours her images in such an amazing way and I am totally in love with everything she does!! And she has the best video tutorials!!

I'm also sharing a sneaky peek of a wedding card I worked on earlier in the week - a sneak peek cause the wedding is tomorrow and I want the bride and groom to see it before sharing it in full :)



Well Happy Thursday to all of you my lovely blog readers and I hope to back early next week with some more completed Project Life pages :)

Rawr Means I Love You in Dinosaur

Hello there!!

Well I am actually here to share with you today a 12x12 layout I did! Without any help at all either!!

I started this on retreat in May and knew that it needed something else and Charms Creations Sketch Challenge for May gave me the last little bit of inspiration I needed! Head over to her FB page (here) - she makes the gorgeous felt embellies I have used (the star and the banner) and runs challenges every month.

Without further ado here is my page of my gorgeous big boy at a birthday party last year.


I have used a Bazzill Range called Dino-Mite (don't you just LOVE it!!) and the chevrons have been cut from a co-ordinating piece of 12x12 from the EP Brothers Mini Theme. The star and the flag are both from Charms Creations and my title is actually from a Little Yellow Bicycle Range called Babysaurus. 


Here is a close up of the title - Jacob is ALWAYS roaring - to the point that after Hunter made his first words (mum-mum-mum then bub-bub-bub) ra-ra-ra qucickly followed!!


Needless to say, I am entering this page into this months sketch challenge - only my 2nd challenge ever!!

Thanks for stopping by!

Felicity from the 50's

Hi there blog followers!! 2 posts in 1 day - jeepers!!

Just sharing my card creation for my DT spot over at Angie Delarie Products.

I had heaps of fun (again) colouring in monotone - using again the Cool Grey's. I couldn't help myself from adding just a little bit of colour to make the image pop so I used B01 and B02 for both her eye's and the birdie :)
I have teamed the image with some of Heidi Swapp's older lines (No Limits) which I LOVE!! Inked some edges, did some stitching and and layered Felicity on top with foam dots.

Hope you like it!!


And just a close up of Felicity


As always, thank you for dropping by, have a great night :)

PL Week 10

Hi there!! yes, it's been a little while, sorry! I sort of lost my mojo for creating but thankfully have managed to stay mostly on top of my PL even though my blogging is WAY behind!! I have a few weeks to post starting with Week 10 today. Enjoy!

LHS

That "Wednesday" journalling card is actually a bi-fold card - we had a HUGE day and I had ALOT to say! I have decorated with washi (of course!!) and some of the goodies sent to me from Michelle for my DT work (I will be sharing on the store blog also!).


Here is the RHS


I also have 2 inserts for this week and also a 6x8 snap insert with hubby's birthday cards in it

Here is the front of the 1st insert (One of Cathy Zielske's templates)


And the back

I honestly can't remember if I threw this template together myself (most likely not!!) but can't for the life of me remember where I got it from so both apologies and thank you's to the person who did make this template if it wasn't me!

Front of insert 2


Back of insert 2


And finally last but not least both LHS and RHS together


As always, thank you for stopping by, I hope you enjoyed looking at my week 10 :)

A scrapbook page!!

Hello there bloggers!!

Today I am sharing a traditional page that I have done to tick a few boxes.
First box - scrap a page from my niece's year 7 graduation (December 2011)
Second box - Use some of Angie's new digi stamps (as soon as I saw these I KNEW I was going to tick at least one thing off my very very long to do list!)
Third box - I am entering this into a sketch challenge over at Sassy Scrappers - my 1st ever entry into a scrap challenge so please don't be too harsh on me!!

First up here is the sketch


And you can buy Angie's new digi stamps here.

Now onto the page :D

I have used an Amy Tan paper for the background (yellow, chevron, can't go wrong!!) and some of my pieces of bazzill. I have printed Angie's images onto Stampin Up Crumb Cake card stock and inked all the edges with distress stain.  That is a Studio Calico chevron mask I have used and some gorgeous Heidi Swapp mustard colour shine on the back ground also borrowed this technique and coloured the title "grad" with colour shines and a paint brush.

And here is the result








As always, thank you for stopping by, I hope you like what you saw!!

Yumminess!!

I am here today to share a MASSIVE haul that I have been waiting to receive from The Stamp Spot and it arrived safely in my hands on Tuesday! 

I just want to share that I paid for express post on this parcel so when I saw that it was "on board with driver" on Tuesday I literally squealed with delight!! To my horror though we had gone out for the morning and as we turned the corner into our street I saw that our delivery driver had just pulled out of our driveway!! Thankfully (I think!!) he recongnised me and stopped and delivered my parcel of yumminess!!

Without further ado, here are a couple of pics of the things I really, really, really, really want to get out and play with but think they will have to wait until I go to a day scrap retreat with Scrap Away in WA at the beginning of May.

Here is the 5kg satchel that my goodies arrived in =)


And everything minus the new paper trimmer I got


And the stuff I've really, really, really been hanging out for, Heidi Swapp!!


I have joined in with Heidi's 8 week adventure in the spiral bound album and will share pics once I have a wee bit more done - only done bits and pieces at this stage but let me tell you, this album is just gorgeous!!

Anyways, thank you as always for stopping by, see you back here soon =)

PL Week 9

Well hello there lovely blog followers!!
It has been a little while since I blogged anything - oops - I guess life has happened!

I am here to share with you tonight my Week 9 Project Life pages. 
For this week I have used a mix of my cobalt core kit and lots of goodies supplied to me from the wonderful Michelle over at The Stamp Spot.


LHS


RHS
I have used a very cute Amy Tan stamp set for my filler card along with some more goodies from Michelle - I think the stamp set belongs to the Yes Please line and I think it's called Aspire.


BOTH 


And that week included a trip out to a new park for us so we have an insert as well. The protector I have used is made by Bazzill and is one of their Lickety Slipper page protectors which I am really loving!!

This is the PP closed and what you see when flipping through the album - I just ADORE the top picture of my little (or not so much anymore!!) Hunter Jett!!


And opened
We all got involved in the fun that day - mind you though I managed to smash my left big toe stopping that swing and it is STILL sore as I type and we are in Week 16!!


And the back 


That's it for today. Thank you for stopping in and feel free to leave me some love!!
