Daisy, Daisy

Here I am with the last of my cards for the Crafty Boots 'In the Pink' Challenge, this challenge has been in support of Breast Cancer Awareness.

My recent printer ink crisis (which I shall not bore you with again) has got me using my rubber stamps ... and it has been so much fun to get out my old stamps and use them again.  This is another Sugar Nellie, stamp from their Sherbet Pip range, it is called Posy Pip and she is possible my favourite from this range.  (I apologise for the shaddowing in this photo, I am afraid the it is raining heavily here and the lighting is abysmal today.)

I coloured the stamp with Promarkers and then mounted it on gold mirri card and some girlie pink card.  The paper, setiment and ribbon are from my stash and the flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts.

There is still time for you to enter this challenge.

Have a great day.

Pink Azaleas

November has arrived, it was a cold and wet day here yesterday but what else can you expect for the time of year.

I am back today with another 'Pink' card, it is one of my Crafty Boots Challenges cards in support of Breast Cancer Awareness.

This card features another of my vintage rubber stamps, I have quite an impressive collection of stamps from that era.  This stamp is from PSX - The Personnal Stamp Exchange, it is one of their floral collection.  This one is Azalea.

I coloured the image with Promarkers, then mounted on silver mirri ans some green card.  The petal backing paper is from a House Mouse CD and the pink flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts.  The sentiment, ribbon and gems are from my stash.

There is still time for you to enter your pink projects into this Crafty Boots Challenge.

Good luck.

In the Pink

Happy Halloween everyone.

Wow, and that was October, where is this year going?  We are already half way through the current Crafty Boots 'Pink Challenge.  This challenge is our way of giving support to Beast Cancer Awareness Month .... it is also a good excuss to go all pink and girlie.

This little lady all dressed in pink is 'Honey Pip' from Funky Kits, one of their Sherbet Pip range.  I coloured her with Promarkers and then mounted her on silver mirri and some checkered paper from a K & Co paper stack designed by Tim Coffey.  The backing paper is from a Craftwork Cards stack.

The buttons, sentiment, ribbon and pom poms are all from my stash.

This week we have three fabulous Guest Designers at Crafty Boots Challenges, make sure you pop across and chack out their amazing work.

Baby Bunny

My niece recently gave birth to a beautiful daughter.  Little Lucy Louise kept us waiting and was two weeks overdue but she was worth the wait.  Little Lucy has a big brother who already adores her, I made this card for him, congratulating on becoming a brother.

The polymer stamp was part of a 'New Baby' Kit I bought from C&C, I coloured it with my polychromos pencils and then mounted it on some silver mirri and some pink card.  The new baby paper and the letters came from the Forever Friends 'New Arrival' paper stack.  The hydrangea flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts.

Anyone who knows me will not be surprized to hear that I have knitted her a huge pile of little cardigans, hats and mittens, here are two of them.

I chose the pink ones because they are in keeping with the current Crafty Boots Pink Challenge.

In the Pink

I am sure you are well aware that this is 'Breast Cancer Awareness' month and that this is a really important issue, which we all need to get behind.  Crafty Boots Challenges wants to lend their support to this cause and for the next two weeks they want to see 'pink' in our projects.

This little sweetie is Cherry Pip, one of the Sherbet Pip collection from Funky Kits.  I coloured the stamped image with my polychromos pencils and then mounted it on some silver mirri and pink card.

The pink backing paper is from Stampin' Up and I cut the circular shapes from some left over Stampin' Up paper.  The pearl trim was from Wild Orchid Crafts and the lace and sentiment were from my stash.

My lovely team mates at Crafty Boots Challenges have also been busy with their paper and glue, please check out their work for yourself when you enter your pink projects.

Trick or Treat

If you have been dropping by for a long while, first of all thank you for your support over the years, I really do appreciate it, also, you may recognise this image.  It was one of the ones I used this time last year and I must have printed it more than once and did not use this copy - luckily for me as it was in my 'Spares' folder.

The image is from Tiddly Inks and is called 'Trick or Treat Wryns'. I coloured the image with Promarkers and mounted it on some silver mirri and pumpkin orange card.

I stamped the background myself.  First I swished the blank card with Squeezed Lemonade, Mustard Seed and Vintage Photo.  I then used the Vintage Photo to stamp the leaf pattern with some Bo Bunny leaf stamps.  The sentiment came from a pack I got off the internet.

There is still time for you to enter your Halloween projects in the Crafty Boots Halloween Challenge.

Good Luck.

Fright Night

Still no sign of the new printer ink, so I have been trying to think of a design for a Halloween card which would not require printing.

I based this design on some Halloween gift bags I made a couple of years  ago.  As you can imagine, it is a very quick and easy design but I think it is rather fun.

I covered my card blank with a black sheet glitter card.  I then glued three pairs of eyes to the card, both the eyes and the sentiment were from ebay.

There is still time for you to enter your Halloween projects in the Crafty Boots Halloween Challenge.

Good Luck.
