Colour my world - Mid month at Stamping Sensations

We're at the half way point of the month and that means more inspiration from the DT at Stamping Sensations where the challenge is Colour My world,  so that's anything nice and coclourful.

I've used a mono print background using Oxide sprays and a bit of mop up and stamped my Couture Lady from Dyan Reaveley in black and heat embossed with clear EP.  I stamped again on white card, fussy cut and coloured with Wilted Violet. The sentiments were again heat embossed with clear EP.

The rest of the team have some fabulous inspiration for you, so please pop over to the main blog, where you will also find all the challenge details.

Oh So Cute!

The new challenge at Try it on Tuesday is Oh So Cute!  and what could be more cute than bunnies, Peter Rabbit and Friends to be precise.

I've made a batch of Thank You cards for DD and she wanted to continue with the Twins nursery theme, so these little stamps are getting well used.

I've used white linen card and cut Sizzix Stitched Rectangles to stamp the focal images which were watercoloured.  The sentiment was a magazine freebie.

The rest of the Design Team have some wonderful makes to inspsire you, so please pop over to the main blog where you will also find all the challenge details.

Things have been a little quiet around here, as now that SIL is back to work, I'm helping out with the Grandma duties.

Thanks for calling in, have a great day,

Falling in Love at Try it on Tuesday

 

 Falling in Love is the new challenge at Try it on Tuesday and we would love to see your Love themed projects which could be Valentine, Wedding, Engagement or even Anniversary.

I've opted for an Anniversary card and used some old Papermania papers and a lace edge heart die cut, along with a stamped sentiment using two different magazine freebie stamps.

Winter Blues at Try it on Tuesday

 We often associate Winter Blues with January and so that reflects the new challenge at Try it on Tuesday.

Although I certainly haven't got the 'blues' this month due to the arrival of the twins, I did enjoy using my new Pablo the Penguin to create a winter scene.  I don't normally do cutie, but this little guy just melted my heart and I couldn't resist and no doubt he will come in very handy for future Christmas cards!

The rest of the DT have some fabulous inspiration for you, so please pop over to the main blog where you will also find all the challenge details.

A short post today as I'm on babysitting duties as the new parents have a couple of errands to do,

Have a great day,

Mid Month Reminder for Stamping Sensations

 

Hello, it's time for some mid-month inspiration at Stamping Sensations where the challenge this month is Use Your Favourite stamp.

Favourite stamp - well that was a hard one as I have so many, especially flower ones, so it was nice to add some colour to this grey day.  An inky oxide background, stamped with this ALL & Create flower and a doodled frame.

Please pop over to the main blog where there's some fabulous inspiration from the rest of the DT.

Thanks for calling in

Sharing

I've been a little occupied lately - as two little bundles arrived in the early hours of 6th January, Teddy and Lucy, and I'm absolutely besotted!  DD and babies are all doing well and settling into a routine and their daddy was able to take holiday and paternity leave together so there's plenty of help on hand.

Before the babies were born DD asked me to make some dividers to organise their clothes in the wardrobe.  The nursery theme is Peter Rabbit, so I bought a couple of craft magazines that had Peter Rabbit stamps as it's main feature and put them to good use.

I watercoloured the images and used the Tim Holtz Tiny Alphabet die.  Something totally different for me but such a pleasure to do.

That's it for now, lots of catching up to do,

Have a great day, Avril xx
