There She Goes Henna Swirls Blog Hop Challenge

(Please scroll down for my Bellarific Friday DT post!)

 

It's the last day of the There She Goes sneak peeks for the September release and today we are showcasing our new designer - Chaitali Narla!  This new set is called Henna Swirls and here is my take with it...

As you can see, I kept it very simple - you don't need much more with such a beautiful design!  I used a Handwritten sentiment with it and finished it off with a touch of mini ric rac.  Voila!


That's it from me today - see you soon!

 

Limit yourself!

YAY!  OMG, thank goodness it is Friday because it has been a horrible week at work!  It's also Bellarific Friday and this week the theme was monochromatic - limit yourself to one colour!  Here is my simple take on it...

 

I feel a bit of a cheat - it only took me 20 minutes to make this card and 10 minutes of that was colouring in!  But my next Bellarific Babe card that I'll show this weekend has taken me A LOT longer! 

So the next Bellarific Friday is this sketch...

Send your creations to Em by next Thursday for a chance to win some Bella Bucks!  I'll be back later with my There She Goes new release post and it's a very different style for me!  ttfn!

Here is my project - another treat holder using Halloween Tags and also a cute fella from the No Tricks Only Treats that we showcased yesterday...

Such a funny sentiment!!!  This is definitely going to my niece - she will crack up when she receives this!

There She Goes No Tricks Only Treats Blog Hop Challenge

It's day two of  the There She Goes Blog Hop Challenges to show off all of the September new release!  Today we are showcasing a new Whimsie Doodle set called No Tricks Only Treats and it's a brilliant set! 

 

 

Here is my Trendsetter card...

 

Illustrator Melyssa is so brilliant at creating those interesting faces - I love his quizzical look!  I didn't think he needed much - just an embossed background and a touch of red!


I hope you love this set as much as I do!  I'll be back tomorrow with day three of the new release!

 

Birthday girl

(Please scroll down for my CC Designs DT review post!)

It's time for a new fortnightly Pollycrafts challenge and this time Jane has set the theme of Birthday Girls - easy peasy!  Here is my DT take on it...

This is one of the gorgeous girly Lil Dumplings called Fleur - I loved colouring in her hair with my Copics!  I matched her up with Digital Design Essentials papers and used a Sizzix butterfly embossing folder for the background.  The flower border is a Doodlebug Paper Frill.

I hope you can play along with us - you have a fortnight to upload your project to the blog here.  I gotta go now but thanks for visiting!

 

Join the fun!

It's time for a CC Designs September release review and today we are showcasing those fun circus themed stamps in store.  Here is my DT making using Sweet November Ring Master Bailey, Sweet November Ellie and AmyR Stamps Circus Sentiments...

I really like how this card turned out - I didn't really have a plan for it but the My Minds Eye Alphabet Soup collection seemed to dictate to me what to do!

You can check out more fun DT inspiration over at the blog here.  Thanks for visiting and I'll be back later with my Pollycrafts and There She Goes DT posts - a busy, busy day!!

There She Goes Bewitched By You Blog Hop Challenge

It's the start of  the There She Goes Blog Hop Challenges to show off all of the September new release!  Today we are showcasing two new sets - one from Torico called Bewitched By You and a sentiment set called Totally Witchin'.

These are super fun sets!  So much fun that I made two projects to show you today...

So my first project is this treat holder for those yummy lollies!  Isn't she cool - not really scarey - her eyes give away her sweetness inside!  And love the sentiment from the Totally Witchin' set - there are some funny phrases in there!

Here is my second, a card...

That Torico is so talented - so brilliant how she's got her sitting on that broomstick and peeking back over her shoulder!  And I love the bum detail too - cheeky!  That ribbon is a lot darker in real life but just couldn't get it right with Picasa (so annoying!).



I think you'll agree that these are great additions to the There She Goes stamp collection!  I'll be back tomorrow with our second day of the new release!
