It's Bellarific Friday time and this week we had a sketch to follow - here's my Bellarific Babe take on it...

I love doing bon voyage cards - why is it that my friends always seem to be going off on fab holidays?  Lucky things!  Anyhoo, I used Uptown Girl Molly Makes A Detour and I matched her up with October Afternoon papers.  I really enjoyed colouring this girl in, here's a close up...

The next Bellarific Friday theme is bling!  Yep, get those shiny, glittery things out!  Email your creations to Em by next Thursday 25 April for a chance to win $20 Bella Bucks (either by submitting a project or simply commenting on next week's Bellarific Friday post)!

 

There She Goes Again!

This week over at the There She Goes blog There She Goes (Again!) week!  We have been revisiting the 'classic' sets Lighten Up, Blossom by Blossom and Beautiful Day.  Today the design team are showing some new makes with these fab sets and here is my make using Lighten Up...

I just love this gorgeous set!  I matched this cute lamp and sentiment up with Zoe Pearn Beautiful You papers, a Sizzix embossing folder and a touch of lace.

You can check out more gorgeous design team inspiration over at the blog here!  I'm off now but I'll be back later with my Bellarific Friday DT post!

 

All That Scraps April release review time!

We are showcasing more of the All That Scraps April release and today I have two more cards to show you.  First up is one of my all time favourite Mashi's Muffins new lady called Mashi's Muffins Mom...

The sentiment is from the AmyR Stamps All Women Sentiments set and I matched her up with October Afternoon papers.  I kept it all pretty simple because I don't think you need much more with this gorgeous gal!

My second card using Lil Lolita Bride Lilith who I have matched up with My Minds Eye papers and the pretty C.C. Designs Cutters Olive Branch Dies...

 

Okay, I am off now - check out more gorgeous design team creations over at the blog!

 

The cutest batsman ever!

guest designer post!)

It's Tuesday which means it's By Lori Designs Inspirations Tuesday!  I decided to use Puddle Jumper Baseball Boy - I think he is so adorable with his cap, bat and ball!

The sentiment is also By Lori Designs from the new set called New Everyday Sentiments II.  I matched the little lad up with Lisa Sisneros digi papers and used the Lil' Inker Designs notebook die. You can't see it from the photos but I dry embossed the black cardstock with a star embossing folder.

Check out more of the gorgeous inspiration over at the blog here.  I'm off but I'll see you again soon - thanks for visiting!

Hey, smarty pants!

I'm here today with my next guest designer card for this week's new Tuesday Morning Sketches.  I am lovin' these sketches - I'm so glad the sweet and talented Theresa invited me to join them this month!  This week we are being sponsored by my fave There She Goes stamps and I used the fun fab set Smarty Pants...

 



Ain't this owlie a real cutie?!  I love him!  I used papers by Mari Koegelenberg called Mother's Love.  I kept the male theme going by using the chevron dies and Nesties stamp die.

I hope you can play along with us this week!  You can check out more gorgeous DT inspiration and deets over at the blog here.  Thanks for visiting me and I'll check you out later on my blog rounds!

 

Wet, wet, wet!!

It's time for the April Whimsie Doodles challenge and this month we want it to be wet!  Yep, anything to do with that H20!  Here is my take on it...

I love this crazy fun image!!  This is Reilly's Shark and the sentiment also comes with it.  I didn't use any designer paper and instead used my Cuttlebug bubble embossing folder with a blue wave using my Fiskars border punch and finished off with some iridescent pearls.

You have up to  13 May 10pm CST to join in for a chance to win an image from the new release or to be our next Guest Designer and receive the whole new release!  I hope you can join in this month - find all the deets here and link up here!

 

Game on

You know, this is one of the best Sundays EVER!  Only because I'm off work next week so I know I don't have to get up early and commute to London - YAY!!!  But the downside is that I have to decorate a bedroom this week.  :(  Still, I don't have to go to work and that's the important thing!

Anyhoo, I'm here today with my Bellarific Babe card and it's a birthday card for a guy...

I know far too many guys like this!  And I have to admit that I am known to play computer games too, spending hours on such fun games like Broken Sword, Baldur's Gate...if I only I had more time to play them, but alas I haven't managed to get into one for a while now.

Back to the card!  I used Mo Manning's Game On stamp and I used Zoe Pearn's A Beautiful Thing papers.  I couldn't help myself but use my Darice chevron embossing folder again - I just love it!  I used American Crafts rub on lettering.

Right, I am off to enjoy the rest of my Sunday.  Have a lovely day and I will be back tomorrow with my Whimsie Doodles new April challenge DT post!
