52 Cards Challenge Week 4

Waltzingmouse CASE competition

Here's my entry for the Waltzingmouse CASE (Copy And Share with Everyone!) competition. I used Jennifer's CD holder as my inspiration and made a shaped card with my Labels 1 Nestabilities, a WM stamp and some lovely red ribbon....
You're Special!

I used Labels 4 and Lacey Squares nesties, Prima Paisley Road notecards, papers and flowers. The sentiment stamp is from Hero Arts.
Q & A and another Tiddly Ink card...

Just thought I would also answer this question that someone left in my comments - Helen, I would have emailed you but there was no email address on your blogger profile!

Welcome to the WMS world. I LOVE claire's stamps, and she has some of the best blog entries at times! You'll love your time here!! I also love your work on the Tiddly Inks cards. I read that you use the Promarkers: do you like them alot,and have you ever used their aquamarkers? I'm not too happy with Copics and am interested in other markers that might work better for me. Thanks for your input (if you have time :-)

I've never used the aquamarkers, I did think about ordering some to give them a try but have resisted for now. I must say though, it was mainly price that made me go for Promarkers over Copics, but I've been happy with them so far! Mind you, I am still learning how to get the best of them, and my husband still laughs at me when I spend an evening "colouring in"!
52 Cards Challenge Week 3

The prompts for this week were blue, flourishes and hello....
I used my Robo to cut the flourish design, and then stamped the musical background onto some ledger type background and inked the edges with Antique Linen distress ink. I wanted to do something a little bit different so I dug out a couple of these huge Prima flowers, layered them up and stick a few sparkly gems on them. I then puched a little circle and stamped my sentiment on there - I didn't have any any "Hello" stamps so I went with "Sending Happy Thoughts", a hello kind of sentiment, I thought!
Waltzingmouse Blog Waltz!

*waves madly* Hello to anyone who found their way here from the Waltzingmouse Blog Waltz! It's my first time joining in, I'm a recent convert to Waltzingmouse stamps and I LOVE them! I only have one set so far, but perhaps when the first pay day of 2011 rolls around next week I might be able to treat myself...
Hope you like! Oh yes, and scuse the rubbish photo, can't wait till the evenings get lighter so I can take better photo's of projects!
Here's my card - I have gone with the Valentines / Love theme but nothing too soppy for me. I used Vintage Labels 4, along with a couple of different sets of nesties and some Prima papers. I finished off with a few sparklies to fit in with the greeting...
52 Cards Challenge Week 2

This weeks prompts were purple (check), stripes (check) and die cuts (check). Yes, I know the card looks pink but it's purple, honest! That's just what happens when I take photo's with no daylight...
Have used some Prima papers and die cut note cards, all from the Paisley Road collection. A nestie die cut with Waltzingmouse and Hero Arts stamps, and some little purple buttons with some sparkly gems on top.
Top Ten Word List

Prince Charming...


And also - Happy Birthday to my Prince Charming from me and your pickle.....
A Challenge!

While browsing through some blogs I came across Paper and Ribbons and thought I would join in with a little challenge - to make a card or tag using embossing, lilac and yellow. Here's mine...
I embossed the pearlised yellow card with my Cuttlebug swiss dots folder. The label is from Nestabilities Labels 4, and the stamps are from WaltzingMouse / Hero Arts. I used milled lavender distress ink (so not quite lilac, but never mind!) and a couple of little flowers from my stash.
Who needs toys?

A Christmas Layout

The journaling reads as follows..."Christmas Day 2010 – Jamie was not quite two so still not entirely sure what was going on, but after we had all opened the first couple of presents together he definitely got into the swing of things! Father Christmas brought lots of cars, Special Agent Oso toys, Mickey and friends from our Disney trip earlier in the month, and lots of other little bits and pieces. Grandma Irene gave him a toy garage and a desk, and Grandma Phil and Grandad Alan gave him a Martian Moon House, complete with rocket ship and moon mobile!"
I used some Echo Park Wintertime papers, die cut snowflakes and the title was cut on my Craft Robo from a Silhouette design.
Smiler!

Here's a layout that I made last year with a lovely series of pictures that my mum had taken when we had been at their house for lunch one day in November 2009. Jamie would have been around 10 months old here and was smiling and laughing away like nobodies business sat in his high chair! I used some positively ancient stash on here - Heidi Swapp ghost letters (at least I think that's what they were called!), Jenni Bowlin paper, and some Bazzill on the edge strips. I cut the frame out for the pictures in the craft robo, and rather than it just being a piece of card with pictures on top, it has apertures cut out and the pictures are underneath, if you see what I mean. Much easier to line it all up nice and straight that way!
