CAS Mid month at Stamping Sensations


 


It's mid month inspiration time for the current challenge at Stamping Sensations where the theme is CAS or you can always follow the A/G option if you prefer.
I've used two very old wooden stamps, Lady of Fashion which is a Hobby Art stamp and 
the sentiment is  Hero Arts which was stamped with Versamark and embossed with WOW Red Tinsel EP.
The rest of the DT have some great samples to show, so please pop over to the main blog, where you will find all the challenge details.

Pretty Papers at TioT


The new challenge at Try it on Tuesday is Pretty Papers.   I don't know about you, but I have stacks of paper and it's something I just don't seem to use these days.   
After a good rummage I decided to use G45 Secret Garden papers which I've had for years,  I distressed all the edges and die cut the girl image, the key was fussy cut and mounted with 3D pads.

The rest of the DT have been using up their papers and have some great inspiration for you, so please pop over to the main challenge page for all the details.

Thanks for calling in, Avril x

CAS at Stamping Sensations




It's time for a new challenge at Stamping Sensations and this month the theme is CAS, or you can always go with the A/G option if you prefer.  This month there are  two prizes of stamps from Grafton Crafts, a well stocked bricks and mortar and on line shop offering fee p&p on all orders over £15, also 
there will be a few 'random surprise spot prizes' this month, announced mid post and end of month posts, but remember, to be eligible to win, you must include at lease one item of stamping on you project.

For my CAS option I've used an old Flonzecraft stamp of my two ladies and just minimal colouring with red.  The sentiment is computer generated.

The rest of the DT have some great samples to show, so please pop over to the main challenge page for all the details.

Children at TioT



It's time for a new challenge at Try it on Tuesday and this fortnight It's All About Children.
I've made a very quick card using one of the Andy Skinner stamps on a gel plate background and just added a bit of colour to  the girls clothing. Stitched square dies for the image and matt and a simple sentiment.
The rest of the DT have some lovely inspiration for you, so please pop over to TioT's challenge page for all the details.
The twins start school tomorrow, I can't believe how quickly this has happened, they've been very excited, but I think there's a little apprehension creeping in now.  I'm just glad it won't be me leaving them on their first day!
