Stamptacular Sunday Challenge 19

This weeks challenge is :

"3-2-1"

a project that uses THREE brads, TWO different pattern papers, and ONE flower!

Well I am fed-up of making cards (never thought I would say that!) this weekend so decided to try something different.!
So here's a bird house

- the papers, the template, the flower and the stampies are all from my new and much cherished Candy Doodles CD - Nikky if you ever read this - it is one of the most wonderful Cd's I have in my collection and def. will be ordering the Christmas one!
The brads are front and back (hearts)


and holding on the cherries at the front, 2DPS - one for the roof, the other for the body of the house and one flower on the side of the roof! Incorporating the brads was a toughie!
The stamps are from U-Mount Cupcakes (cherries) and the wording is from Elusive Images Oliver Twitter available at Graphicus.

What fun - I will be making another - so easy to do!

Polka Doodles Challenge 7 August

This weeks challenge is a sketch!
Very round - am not good at round I have to say but I had a go and this is what I came up with using the Sugar Birdies CD.
I decorated the inside too and left my "mark" at the back!












The flower designs on the CD are great!
I used a circle compass cutter on a square card and on the papers - am not that brill at keeping the "thing" still in the centre - and then you have to cover the hole!
Still - it was a sharp learning curve!

Sleep time!
Night all

Wedding Gift Card

One of the girls at work is getting married next weekend and has asked for money contributions towards her honeymoon.
So a whip round is underway and I have been asked to make a gift card to put the Euros in .
So here it is!
I decorated the inside too, and put a large blank so that everyone could write a message!

Am loving these My Minds Eye papers and decoupage - and I'm not much of a decoupage girl - would rather play with my stamps any day! But these are a little different and great fun!

Bit of a squeeze doing this in the week, but really enjoyed doing it
Until the next time
Keep well everyone, SuzyX

Stamptacular Sunday Challenge 18

This weeks theme is childs-play!
Each week the theme remind me of some object/stash that I have bought thinking "that'll come in useful for such and such" - you know the kinda thing!
Anyhow, I have remembered some jigsaw blanks I bought at Clarity stamps in June , the idea being to make a friends daughter one for her on her birthday - well lets do it now!
She is such a girlie girl and very pink - so here you are Sarah, just for you!
Of course I am still in love with my cupcake stamps and have had a wonderfully messy day colouring in, and spraying glimmer mists - def. got pinky fingers now!
Papers used - DCWV, Stamps used are U-Mount, Cupcake, coloured with a mix of cosmic shimmer paints, glimmer mists and Marvy pens! I then sprayed it all over with a thin layer of varnish to seal it!
Yum Yum Yum
Of to make cake!

Cheerio for now

Penny Black Saturday Challenge 60

Today's challenge is

SUMMER

Just as well because that's not what it is out of this window - rain, rain, rain = cold,cold,cold - must be very cold as cats all want cuddles and at this moment are all cuddled together in one big furry heap!
I decorated the inside too - cant leave that plain and boring now!


Stamps used are Fresh New Day and the papers are from K & Co

I have to show off this stamp - although not the best surface to stamp it onto - but i love it and its going on all my cards from now on!

Get them - and many other designs too from Bunny Zoes Crafts!

Until tomorrow - lets hope the weather brightens up - I've a ton of washing to do!

With love SuzyX
