Valentines

Im on a roll now, making up for lost time.  I put this little box together so I can put the Valentines gift inside.  Its a simple box with some paper out of my stash, a heart doily from W>O>Crafts.  I have cut the centre piece with a Mariannes die, and the stamp is from Whimsey.  The roses accross the bottom are from the local craft shop.  Im going to enter this into Lets Craft and Create challenge, which is anything to do with hearts and romance.      http://letscreatechallenges.blogspot.co.nz/

Simply Sassy

Here I am again on another fine Sunday wahoo!  Last night I made this card for the challenge over at CLP, where they have a sketch for this months challengeand Southern girls challenge which is distressed.  I have chosen another of Kristas amazing images called Pink Punkette, she is so cute.  Ive used a grunge paper background, some papers from Kaisercraft Chateau series, some black cotton lace from them also.  The bow is a green tulle that was wrapped around a hamper I got for Xmas.  The sentiments are printed on to craft card as is the top background which I have stamped.  The flowers are from W.O. crafts and the pin, beads, etc are from my stash.  :-)http://southerngirlschallenge.blogspot.co.nz/2012/02/challenge-38-so-distressed.html

MAGIC

Hello, its been a while and must say it nice to have a life back and even better some time in my craft room that I have really missed.  Im starting off this year with a cute fairy image from Saturated Canary called Whispy.  I really love these images, thank you Krista!  For this card I have used some corrugated cardboard which I have sprayed with glamour mist, the rest of the backing papers are from Prima Annalee Collection 'Poetry'.  The edges of these papers are trimmed in gold stickles.  The wooden bird cage is from Kaisercraft, I have painted it gold and then used a crackle medium and topped off with white.  Tag is die from Magnolia, flowers from Wild Orchid, butterflys MS punch.  Im entering this card in the MAGIC challenge over at Southern Girls :-)http://southerngirlschallenge.blogspot.co.nz/

BABY CARD

Hasnt this year flown by, not long till we are in the last quarter!  I made this baby card for a friends new baby.  The image is from wee stamps which I have coloured with water colour pencils.  On the inside I have made a pocket for a tag, and have decorated it with a  baby sentiment.  The opposite page has a doily, a butterfly cut from a papertry die, a rose from WOC, and a charm in the shape of a rocking horse. A magnolia die called Tildas old lace, has been used for all the lace trimmings and the paper is pink and white spot on one side and pink and white stripes on the reverse which worked well with both side differing slightly. Im entering this card in the challenge called Charmed over at Lets Craft and Create, The Paper Shelter anything Goes and Southern Girls Anything Goes

Its been a while

Gosh its been a while.  A lot of working and sleeping and not much else for the past three weeks.  The other chef cut her finger so I had to step up and do both shifts and it has been taxing to say the least.  I have had a couple of days off now to get myself back in the zone and am feeling a lot better. The card today is a round easel card for something different for me.  The papers are Bearly Mine, with kraft cardstock.  The image is from Tickled pink stamps, vintage Evie, who has been coloured in monochrome.  Ive added hat netting accross the top to give a veiled effect, along with pearls and feathers to complete the Charleston look.  Im not sure where I bought this lace from, but it was ideal for using on a circle.  The flowers are from W>O>C. along with some crystalina glitter.  Im entering my card today in two challenges:

Lets Craft and Create: Blast from the Past/Digi

and

The Paper Shelter: Anything Goes .

Thank you for looking and have a good week, its nice to be back.

Hugs Denise
