Sleeping on a bed of flowers

Hi everybody and I hope you are raring to go for the weekend!  Today I am doing a guest spot over at Sketch Saturday as MilkCoffee Stamps are sponsoring this week so here is my card...

I really enjoyed working with this sketch!  I used Lisbeth Good Night along with October Afternoon papers and die cut CC Designs Cutter four season fence, grass and a bunch of flowers.

I hope you get a chance to play along this week - check out the blog for all the deets.  I'm off but I'll see you tomorrow with my Bellarific Babe DT post!

 

Everyone needs a sidekick, don't they?

Hello!  It's Bellarific Friday and this week the theme was "flower power! so I decided to do a little paper piecing with some sweet flower patterned paper by Echo Park....

I love love love this stamp!  I think it is actually my all time favourite Uptown Girl stamp - but then again I say that about all of them!  This one is called Victoria and Juliettes Night Out and I used part of the sentiment from the Pattie and Dottie Friends Forever set.

Okay, the next Bellarific Friday is the sketch below...

Ignore the date on the sketch - it's actually for next Friday so get your creations to Em by next Thursday 5 September for a chance to win some Bella Bucks!

I hope you all have a fab weekend planned!  Thanks for visiting I'll catch you later on my blog rounds.

Sunny smiles just for you

There's a new challenge over at Pollycrafts and this fortnight the theme is "For the Kids".  Here is my DT make for it...

I just had to use another one of the sweet sweet Lil Dumpings!  This cutie is called Nipper for the obvious reasons!  The sentiment is from the CC Designs' AmyR Sweet Summer sentiments set.  Not sure who the papers are by but I did use My Favorite Things cloud and sun dies and my Darice embossing folder.

And check out the newbies in store too!  You will love these...

I wish I was going away on holiday right now!

I'm planning our Australia trip in December and I'm getting soooo excited!  So I was in the mood for creating a travel themed card so here is my Bellarific Babe make for this week...

I love Vienna on her Vespa! I used My Minds Eye Good Day Sunshine papers and my Darice chevron embossing folder.  I love the matching sentiment that comes with the stamps too!

Okay, I am off now but I will be back later with my TSG Trendsetter post!  See you later on my blog rounds!

 

Can you have too much orange?

I don't think so - it's my most fave colour ever!  So it's  Bellarific Friday!  This week's challenge was to use the sketch below so here's my Bellarific Babe card for it using my fave colour too...

Yeah, I know it's not true to the sketch but I'm finding it really hard to work with sketches nowadays - it will have to do!  I used my all time favourite Uptown Girl Sandy and her Sombrero with Echo Park papers and Doodblebug gems for a big of bling.

Our next Bellarific Friday is flowers - easy!  Send your creations to marvellous Em by next Thursday 29 August for a chance to win some Bella Bucks!

Thanks for visiting - I may not get around to visiting you this weekend as it's my birthday on Sunday and I have a packed out weekend planned!  Toodle-oo and I will see you as soon as the celebrations are over!

 

In trouble again!

It's time for another There She Goes Again week where we showcase some of our more classic stamp sets and today the Trendsetters have created new projects with Ruh-roh, Garden of Life and In All the World.  Here is my Trendsetter make using Ruh-roh...

Super sweet stamps, huh?  And I love the sentiments that come with the set too.  My card is also suitable for this week's There She Goes Challenge for Fur Friends - hope you can play along too!

Going my way?

Hi everyone, I'm back again with another Bellarific Babe card using one of my all time favourite Uptown Girls...

She is so sophisticated!  And so stylish!  I wish this was me going on holiday right now too!  This is Sunny Is Stylish and I matched her up with My Minds Eye papers and a touch of Stampin' Up seam binding ribbon to finish it off.

Okay, I am off to finish the rest of my weekend - thank you for visiting and see you tomorrow with my There She Goes DT post!

 

How cute is this?!!

The stamp, that is!  I just love being on the Lili of the Valley design team - it's a very friendly and supportive team and I get to play with gorgeous stamps too!  I had a huge urge to create something delicate and fresh so I made this using the very sweet Pom Pom...

I'm really pleased the way this turned out - it's not always that my ideas actually become a reality!  I also used the gorgeous LOTV Peter Fresh papers and my Sizzix butterfly embossing folder to add to the sweetness!

I hope you like my card too!  You can check out more gorgeous LOTV makes over at the Ideas to Inspire blog.  Thank you for visiting and I will check you out later!
