Scrapbook Sisters Card Challenge 35 - The Birds

Hi!  Can you believe we are half way through the week already, yipee!!

This week the Scrapbook Sisters Card Challenge is

The Birds

After a bit of faffing I decided to use this stamp, which was a freebie with a magazine a little while ago, it's quite sweet really!!  The sentiment came with it too

Papers are from a pad I got a while ago - I'm still on a mission to use things, although I don't think I will ever be cured from my addiction to all the lovely new releases that are bound to catch my eye :-).  The lace and the ribbon I got from Scrapbook Sisters the other week - the ginham looks black in the photo, but is actually chocolate, and yeah I know checks and stripes and flowers all on one card shouldn't be done, but hey, I was feeling rebellious and I like the result!!

That's it from me for today, more tomorrow

Totally Ladybug Tuesday - Challenge 27 - Black/white plus one other

Good Morning and welcome to this weeks Ladybug Crafts Ink aka Totally Ladybug Tuesday Challenge!

This week it is the turn of the lovely Hayley and she has asked us to create a project with

Black, White plus one colour

I chose green, and then immediately regretted my decision, but I have loads and loads of green papers and CS and I am determined to use some of it up, so persevered and I am so glad I did, because I really like how it turned out!!

Anyway, without further ado, here's my card

I used the lovely sketch at Crafts For Eternity, perfect for me because you know how I like my layers!!

I've coloured Daydreaming Ruby with copics and then added stickles to her shoes, trim of her dress and wings.  I've added a dot of Glossy Accents to the ladybug sitting on the tree branch she is using as a seat!  I've used my lacy circles die to sit her on, and a Marianne swirl and various flowers 

You can just make out in the picture that I have run the double dot CS through my ribbler to give it a bit of dimension!  The white suede ruffle ribbon has been tied in a knot, and I have fixed a metal charm and flower and a gem to it. 

I've used a right hodge podge/eclectic mix (depending on your point of view!!) of papers for this card - the black and white spotty paper is from my stash, and I don't know who it is by (sorry!), the green dotty is Bo Bunny Kiwi Double Dot, the black/white floral paper is from an "It's The Little Things" pad, and the Green print paper is the reverse of a Bo Bunny Peacock Lane paper, the white/black script paper is "Posh: Butterfly Script" by Theresa Collins.

Two Foxy

Hi, hope you are having a good day so far

I have to say I am NOT looking forward to this week as it is the first 5 day week here in the UK, as the last 3 weeks have had at least one public holiday, and working five days before I get a day off is going to be horrible!!

Still there is lots to look forward to as I have got some lovely cards to share over the next few days :-)

Today I am sharing two cards, but as they are pretty much the same I thought I'd post them together.  I made the first at the Scrapbook Sisters crop on Saturday, and made the second yesterday as I need to increase my stock of cards for men and this little minx is perfect for so many guys. 

First up, {you}th papers by Prima, Black and Kraft Bazzill, Faux Stitching, Jet black Ribbon, and a button from my stash.  Papertrey Ink ticket sentiment which has been stamped and then thoroughly distressed!! Megan Foxy digi from Kenny K.  I love her, she looks like a modern take on the sort of thing that used to get painted on the front of planes!!

As I'd done her in red before I wanted to try her in a different colour, so went all dark...

This one uses Like Father Liek Son "Big Guy" papers from Fancy Pants and Timeless "Black Damask" by Teresa Collins, Black and White Bazzill, and a blue-black ribbon

I thought her hair might get lost on the dark papers if I made her a brunette, so I went blond for a change!

I'd like to enter my cards into these challenges

Clear It Out - Ribbon

Stamps R Us - For The Men

Rainbow Lady's Challenge - Lady In Red (first card)

Go Slow...

Hi All, hope you have had a great weekend!!

Yesterday was the Scrapbook Sisters Crop, and from there we went to a friends house for a BBQ/Birthday Party for their daughter.  The crop was fabulous as usual, and I caught up with loads of my crafty friends, not least Julie, who I introduced to the wonders of both Kenny K images and Neenah cardstock (which I get from here)

Today has been a lazy day, except for the washing machine which has been working flat out!!

HB has been working hard in the garage getting the Mini ready for the London to Brighton run next weekend.  We are umming and ahhing if to take my car as a support vehicle/kid carrier or all to cram ourselves in the Mini... it's a tough call, and I'm not sure my spine can take sitting in a Mini all the way up to London and then down to Brighton, and then home again, plus the thought of leaving the house at 6am on a Sunday morning, as opposed to getting another couple of hours in bed, and joining them somewhere along the route, and having leg room and air conditioning too!  I've no worry the car will make it, it's just whether I will :-) 

Either way it will be a gentle pootle down to the coast, so today's card is apt :-)

I won this image the other week from Karen's Doodles after I entered one of the challenges (seem to be on a bit of a roll recently as found out today I had also won the recent Kraftin' Kimmie Challenge!!) and just had to colour him up, he's so cute!!  It really is lovely to win something or be recognised as having created something good by others in the crafting community!

I couldn't resist adding some sparkle onto his cake!

And I decorated the inside too

Supplies:

Stamps - Herbert Birthday Cupcake; Senitments - Whimsy Ticket Sentiments and Ladybug Crafts Ink - It's Only Words 1

CS/Paper - Kraft and Swimming Pool Bazzill; Bo Bunny - It's My Party

Dies - Whimsy Ticket Die; X cut Border Die; Deckled Rectangles Nestabilities

I don't do mornings

Another profound post, as I really, really hate mornings!!  So I couldn't resist this stamp!!  It is so me, as I don't function AT ALL until I have had at least one cup of coffee!!

So I am not looking forward to tomorrow morning, as I am going to the Scrapbook Sisters Crop, and need to be there for 10, but HB has announced this evening that he needs me to drop him to a garage on the outskirts of London first... {insert your own exclaimation here}!!

So I've got to be up even earlier than I was planning...so this means that I have got to have a bath, wash and dry my hair, pack my stuff and get to bed quick as I can, so I'll stop waffling and get on with it!!

Here's today's card

Supplies:

Scrapbook Sisters Card Challenge 34 - Recipe Challenge

Hi!  This week's Scrapbook Sisters Card Challenge  is

A Recipe - Include 2 ribbons, flower /brad

Here's my card

I used tulle and lace for my ribbon.  OMG does lace count as ribbon!?!?  Fingers crossed it does (and if it doesn't, you'll forgive me!)

The image is a Kenny K digi (love this , and I have coloured her with copics... I'm still not 100% happy with how I colour hair, but I'm getting there (I think!!).  As ever the photo does not do this card justice!!

I used a lacey circles nestie and my Tim Holtz brick wall embossing folder.  As I don't (yet!) have a circle Nestie I used a 3" circle punch which fitted just fine :-)  I really like how she looks against the chocolate circle!

I chose to use a flat flower for a change rather than the roses that seem to make an appearance on everything I do at the moment :-D

The brad in the centre of the flower is by Dovecraft - I thought the Wicked that is printed on the brad was appropriate for this card :-)

The panel is bordered with a MS border punch in tan Bazzill, and I have sewn round this and the main card with brown thread.  The sentiment and die are by Whimsey Stamps, and I have distressed it with Antique Linen, Weathered Wood and Bundled Sage Distress Inks.  I love these papers by Basic Grey - odd how after a couple of years of being a bit indifferent to their papers, I'm now getting into them!!  Go figure - maybe because I'm making far more cards than scrapbook pages these days, so the bold print is less scary, or maybe I'm becoming more brave!!  Either way, this paper is Archaic Obsolescent and I really love the soft colours

A few gems finished my card off, hope you like it!

Looking forward to seeing your cards, which you can link to the main blog here

Totally Ladybug Tuesday - Challenge 26 - Going Dotty

Good morning!!  Welcome to this weeks Totally Ladybug Tuesday aka Ladybug Crafts Ink Challenge

This week it is the turn of the lovely Lisa to set the challenge, which is...

Going Dotty

Here's my take on the challenge

I've used some papers from the Like Father Like Son range by Fancy Pants Designs, which I know are quite masculine in design and colour, but I really like this card as it's pretty and feminine without being too girly girl... if that makes any kind of sense!!  And it's certainly dotty!!

I used Shopping Nikki (which you can get here) and coloured her with copics, and added some stickles to her bags and eyeshadow.  I wanted to sit her on my new Nestie, but the size I wanted to use was a bit too small, and the next size up was a bit too big... grrr don't you just hate it when that happens!!  So I ended up stamping her on Neenah, colouring her then cutting her out and used my nestie on Dotted Swiss Bazzill (more dots!!) to 3D her

I used the same dotted swiss CS to punch a border with a MS border punch then added some lovely Elephant Grey felt from Ladybug Crafts Ink (this stuff is gorgeous and you can get it here).  I sewed round my papers and the felt with my sewing machine.  I wrapped the panel with some dotty lace (more dots!!) and some pewter grosgrain ribbon, and added a pewter ribbon slider (I think this is a Making Memories, but I could be wrong, it's been in my stash for ages!!)  I then added some black diamond crystals to the punched border and slipped Nikki's panel underneath the ribbon and lace.  The same crystals are at the top right of the card, but they're hiding in the picture!!

I couldn't resist adding this gorgeous sentiment to this card - it seemed SOOOO appropriate - I got it at Ally Pally, just kicking myself I didn't get a few more!!  It is hung off a Tim Holtz Hitch Fastener - Love these, they look like little door knobs!! - but I have secured it with a 3D pad to stop it wobbling!!  I've used an assortment of flowers with just a touch of stickles in the centre.

I used the bigger nestie on the inside, plus a sentiment from Sentimental Numbers set (available here)

That's it, hope you like it :-)

Monday evening quick post

Good evening, hope for those in the UK that you have been enjoing the bank holiday today, although back to work tomorrow (boo!!),  I really could get used to these four day weekends after two in a row :-)

We went over my SIL's today for a BBQ, which was lovely, but I had time to make a quick acceptance card for a wedding that we have been invited to.

I decided to keep it simple, and follow a similar style to others that I have done in the past.  I just love a design that works for anything and the basic elements of this card have been twisted for wedding, anniversary, birthdays and Christmas.

On this one I punched the border with a MS heart punch and used some wired ribbon in a dull gold to compliment the Bling CS I used behind the punched area.

I found a font here that I used (it's called Pea Nicki)as I don't have an acceptance stamp, and used the same font for the inside.  I punched the same border punch along the gold CS and matted the printed text onto it.  The text is printed in a brown shade as I thought black would be too harsh!!

Fingers crossed they like it :-)

Sunday Fairies

Good morning, hope you are having an excellent weekend :-)

My kids were absolute nightmares yesterday, goodness knows what got into the pair of them, fingers crossed they are better behaved today, I'm not sure either HB or my frazzled nerves can take another day like yesterday :-(

Still, as it's a long weekend (again) here in the UK we still have 2 days off!!  Hurrah!!

Today's card uses one of my new Kraftin Kimmie stamps - isn't she a bit of a saucy fairy!!

I used some Basic Grey papers, love the colours of these!!

I love the lace (which you can get here), the velvet ric rac (I got mine from here) and I am also very excited about the Whimsy ticket sentiment and die which I got from here

I coloured this little fairy with my copics and added a light touch of stickles to her wings

Outta this world :-)

Good morning!!  Did you see the Royal Wedding yesterday... I tuned into the service and missed the build up, but oh my wasn't Catherine's dress exquisite??  So elegant, timeless, classic and modern all at the same time.  They really looked like a young couple in love... ahhh, you caught me, I'm a softy at heart.  Just normally hidden :-)

In between watching the wedding, and yelling at the kids !!) I got in some crafty time in while HB was out helping my BIL with his Mini, which is due to come out of it's winter hiberation and go for it's MOT ready for the run to Brighton in a couple of weekends time.  Tomorrow we are planning on going to Brands Hatch where our friend Bill Richards is racing.  HB's company now sponsors Bill, so fingers crossed he has a good race - his car is incredible and beats cars that on paper you would think he'd have no chance against (think BMW's/Suberu's...) .  Bill also gave our Mini a little tune up this week - I haven't driven it since, but HB report's it's really made a difference, and the new suspension has made it more responsive, but that he'd really, really like a new set of wheels and tyres (see black hole comment above!!)

Ah well, enough rambling, onto the card

I kept this card quite plain, just CS and stamping.  The inside has been decorated to match the front :-)

The sentiment stamp is from the Whimsy stamps set I got the other day, and I stamped it onto a tag I cut using the Plaintain Schoolbook cartridge on the Cricut.  The Jute is from Ladybug Crafts Ink, and the button is from my stash

I also used my Cricut to cut the star, and I got the little lost Alien from a stall at Ally Pally - no idea who they where, but I will say it was a bit of a bun fight to have a rumage through all the loose stamps, but some of them, like this little guy were different, and who could resist!!

I've coloured him with Copics, and then added some Silver accents to his spacecraft :-)  The star is mounted on 3D pads and then the spacecraft it curved and layered on 2 pads in the middle, graduating from one to none to give some extra dimension.  I made another one of these, but as a Happy Birthday card, which adds to my Men's Cards collection :-)

Warning... Hazardous Dragons :-)

I had a small bonus this month from work, which I wasn't expecting, seeing as it most certainly wasn't enough to see us laying on a beach in the Caribbean (LOL!) it was enough for me to get some bits and bobs for the Mini, which remains an ongoing project/black hole depending on your point of view.  Anyway, HB is happy with the new suspension, whatever floats your boat!!

I decided to treat myself to some Kraftin' Kimmie stamps as I hadn't found any I liked when I went to Ally Pally earlier in the month (there was one stall selling them and they only had 3 designs!!), and was chuffed to find them discounted at Bunny Zoe's last weekend... well it would have been rude not to have taken advantage... somehow a set of Whimsy Stamps, die and this little cutie managed to find their way into my basket.

The parcel arrived today, and I was itching to get home and colour him up

Here's the first card, based on this weeks Mojo Monday Sketch

In this card I went with traditional colours for a dragon... not that I've ever seen one, but it's what I imagine :-)  The papers are Bo Bunny and MME, the sentiment came with the main stamp.  The brown (although it looks a bit olivey in the pics!) Bazzill has been edged with a MS border punch and a Lacey Circle Nestie.  Ribbon is from Scrapbook Sisters, Buttons from my stash and Jute from Ladybug Crafts Ink

I've never seen High Hopes Stamps before, but there are hundreds of them.  This one is designed by Dustin Pike

I liked it so much I repeated the card, but taking inspiration from Florrie's Dragon, a programme watched AVIDLY by my 3 year old and based on the books by An Vrombaut, and went a bit brighter :-)

The papers for this one are Bo Bunny and MME (again!!)  More ribbon from Scrapbook Sisters, Jute from Ladybug Crafts and Buttons from my stash!!  Apologies for using the same design but my brain is fried from trying to fit 5 days work into 3 and I liked it :-)

Don't tell Dragon number one but I think I prefer this one!!

Before I go, shall I tell you what the three little words are??

{Snigger}

My 9 year old thinks it's HILARIOUS!! 

The flame is another separate stamp, so I suppose with a bit of careful positioning you could have it coming out of the dragon, somewhere :-)

Don't forget you still have plenty of time to enter the Ladybug Crafts Ink Fashion Challenge and the Scrapbook Sister Distress Challenge!!

Scrapbook Sister Card Challenge 33 - Distressing

Hi!  I'm so thrown this week what with the bank holiday on Monday, goodness knows what I'll be next week after the second long weekend in a row!!

Anyway, here we are on Wednesday already which means it's time for this weeks Scrapbook Sisters Card Challenge, which this week is

Distressing

There are so many distressing techniques out there, but I went all out and did quite a few for my card!!

First off, here's the complete card

I ruffed up the edges of all the CS and papers with my scissors before sewing round them all with white thread

Then printed the Flower Mask Digi, coloured with copics an

d went over it with crackle paint.  Once it had dried I rubbed Black Soot Distress Ink into the cracks... although this hasn't shown up too well on the photos :-(

I stamped the greeting and then distressed it with Black Soot Distress Inks - the roses got away with it as they were though :-).  The orgnaza ribbon was tied in a bow and I attached a flower charm to the centre of the bow with thread and stuck a black gem on with Glossy Accents

I then wond some ribbon round a wooden skewer and adhered this, and a second flower  to the mask with silicon glue, before sticking the mask onto the card with more silicon.  An extra length of ribbon hangs from the skewer.

Then I went all straight on the inside and used my wrought iron MS border punch and a Marianne Creatables Die along with a Papermania sentiment

Hope you like it, thanks for stopping by

Totally Ladybug Tuesday - Challenge 25 - New Release and Blog Hop

Good Morning!!

Welcome to this week's challenge at Ladybug Crafts Ink!!

This week it is the turn of head ladybug Kerry to set the challenge and she has chosen

Fashion

The DT have all used the new release of Stamps and sentiments available here, and we are having a blog hop to celebrate!!  Hopefully you have arrived from Michele's blog.  If not why not head back to the start and check out all the fabulous DT cards?  We are also joined for this challenge and blog hop by the incredibly fabulous Jeanie aka the Spotted Chick - something we are all really excited about!

Hello everyone - well it's another big day today here at the Ladybug Crafts Ink Challenge blog! Kerry has a new release of stamps and we are having a Blog Hop to celebrate!!   There are lots of chances to win a prize, so why not join in the fun? :-)

So here's my card, just as a little tease, there are more pics later in the post

Cute image huh??

OK, back to the important stuff... there are four fabulous images in the new release, and as we have all kept our cards secret this week we have no idea what the others have been up to, so I am as excited to see what everyone has been up to!!

None of us like rules, but there are just a couple to participate in the hop

a) Visit each of the DT members in order and leave a comment on each of their blog hop posts.

b) leave a comment on the challenge blog once you have finished the hop.

c) Display the blog hop banner below on your blog, either in a post or on your side bar

 

 

The First Prize is all 4 images in the new release and we have 4 Runner up prizes of one new image each, all to be drawn at random, plus if you enter a card into the challenge you can win a stamp that way too!!  Aren't we good to you? :-D

And if you can't possibly wait (and who would blame you!) Kerry is offering the stamps at a special price of £5.50 until Monday 2nd May - click here for more details

I did promise more pics of my card :-)

I used some gorgous papers by Theresa Collins from the posh range - if you look closely there are fashion elements in the range - the pink looks like lace and the black and white resembles fish net stockings!!  I edged the papers with Black Soot Distress Ink and ran them through the sewing machine with black thread

The stamps come with three sentiments each - I used "If the shoe fits...

...buy the matching handbag!

The set also includes "Happiness is a matching handbag and shoes" and Who needs therapy when you have accessories?"  *Sigh* how true!!  I love how you can use these stamps for pretty much any occasion, and we all like a bit of versatility from our stash these days!!

I couldn't resist adding a handbag charm along with some more georgeous roses!  I've coloured the bag and shoes in with copics pens and added a touch of silver pen here and there where I thought the metal bits and bobs would be :-)  I also used some sheer box pleat ribbon also from Ladybug Crafts Ink

Your final stop on the hop is the lovely Gaelle

I think I'm in love :-)

How can I have left this stamp uninked since I got it the other week at Ally Pally?!?!

OMG I love it now :-)  It's a Bild Malarna stamp called Rose Fence, and I am kicking myself for not getting some more of their gorgeous stamps at the time - fingers crossed they will be back at Ally Pally later in the year :-)

I have made this card into a thank you card for HB's boss and his wife as we went round their house last weekend for dinner, and I used the lovely sketch this week from Mojo Monday to kick start me, some Basic Grey papers, a Ladybug Crafts Ink sentiment, some Bo Bunny ribbon and white and dark rose Bazzill CS.  I also followed Mary J, my LCI teamie's instructions and had a go at adding some blue colour (actually it's a blend of several blues, greys and pale lilacs) round the top of the image - not bad for a first try!  Although bother my photography skills, as ever it looks SOOOO much better IRL!!

I was stunned that I managed to get the image to look like this on a first attempt - sometimes with new stamps it takes me a couple of attempts before I am happy, but this little baby was a breeze!

Right, gotta dash... last day of work this week before the long Easter weekend :-)  Although I have a horrible feeling that it's going to feel like a Thursday and Friday rolled into one!!  I think we are going to be out and about (I'm planning going for a fish pedicure on Saturday, I'll let you know how that goes!!) and also doing some work in the garden over the weekend... but I have made it clear I am going to be crafting at some point ;-)
