Where Does The Time Go

Good afternoon and happy Sunday. Well somehow my baby turns 25 next week! It doesn't seem like 2 minutes since he was born. I had all my own hair colour then, and Neil had (some) hair! My baby boy is now 6'2'' and I couldn't be more proud of him, but enough of the soppy stuff, here's his birthday card ;-)

His favourite colours have always been orange and green, so there's plenty of these here. I've used my new favourite for today stamps which can be found here. Lost Coast Designs also have a growing range of Katzelkraft stamps and they can be found here.

The background has been made with lots of Distress Oxides and stencilling, so I'm joining in with the Simon Says Stamp Monday and SSS Wednesday challenges which are both Stencil It, and The Happy Little Stampers Watercolour and Anything Goes With Dies challenges.

Have a very happy day, I hope the sun continues to shine, and thanks very much for looking xx

Beautiful

Good morning and happy Monday. PaperArtsy currently have a watercolour challenge, and as I've recently got some new stamps I thought it would be rude not to join in!

This is made with a PaperArtsy stencilled background and 3 shades of Distress Ink. My beautiful woman is from the PA Tracy Scott 17 plate. I don't know if you can buy this directly from PaperArtsy yet but you can certainly get it from Country View Crafts. I really enjoyed making this, it was nice to just go with the flow.

I'm also entering this into the Happy Little Stampers watercolour challenge.

Have a fun day, and thanks very much for looking x 

The Noble Tree

Good morning and Happy Wednesday. Happy Little Stampers currently have an ATC challenge which is 'trees'. Here's mine.

I started with a watercolour background, and then stamped my PaperArtsy tree stamp from JOFY15. Mmm looks a little bare!

So I used 2 of the tiny stamps from the HLS Mix Mash to add some foliage.

And finished off with some paint spatters and sequins. I really enjoyed making this, so nice to get something started and finished in a day lol.

I'm also entering this into the Happy Little Stampers watercolour, and 'anything goes with HLS challenges, and PaperArtsy's ATC challenge.

Thanks very much for looking, and have a fun day x

It's Spike Friday!

Good morning and happy Friday. The sun shone for about 30 seconds, so Spike said he wanted to go outside.

This has been made with the Rubber Dance Textured Flowers set, lots of  Distress Ink, and embossing powder.

I love these colours!

I'm entering my flower into the That's Crafty anything but a card challenge, and Happy Little Stampers Watercolour and Anything Goes With Dies challenges.

Have a great weekend, and thanks very much for looking x

Meet Spike

Good morning and happy Friday. I've been having a play for the PaperArtsy 'aqua' challenge, and this is what I've made.

I made Spike out of an old book and some felt.

I first made some easy backgrounds with Brusho's, Infusiions, and white Ecoline Ink. Then I stamped Tracey's flowers from TS06 and TS07, cut them out and attached them to Spike.

This was such fun to make, and he's now been claimed by my daughter (she's 26 for heavens sake)

I'm also entering Spike into the  Happy Little Stamper's  watercolour challenge.

Have a great weekend, and thanks very much for looking x
