I am currently on holidays and so have had some extra crafty time. This is a card I made last week for a challenge, but as usual, I deliberated way too long and missed the deadline. I spent about a week deciding whether to put some of the dots back inside the holes – randomly, in a pattern…oh the dilemma! It is quite laughable really, but in the end I opted for no dots!

I am trying the slanted look – very trendy at the moment, but for this symmetrical girl, it was (and is) a challenge!

Hello. It is Friday again and that means it is time for another challenge at AnnaBelle Stamps.

Before I get to the challenge though, the AnnaBelle team is very happy to be welcoming a new DT member today and that is Donna Wardle. Make sure you visit her wonderful blog and leave her some love.

Now onto this week’s challenge which is a sketch.

And here is my take…

This challenge will run for 2 weeks and the winner will receive a $15 Gift Voucher to the AnnaBelle Store. Hope you will play along with us. Be sure to check out the rest of the Belles’ projects – their links are on my side bar.

I am back again today sharing another card at the Muse Card Club. Can you believe we are up to Muse #13 already? Hope that you will find some time to play along this week.

This week, I have made a card by colouring directly onto the stamp using Distress Markers. The Hero Arts Little Stencil Flower stamp actually has a stem, but I was able to leave it off using this method. Before stamping I huffed on the stamp. I then went back over it and added in some details with the same colour distress marker.

The middle flower is popped up on some foam to add some dimension.

I can’t wait to see how my card inspires you this week.

Here are some of the guidelines if you are unfamiliar with how Muse works.

• Use the Muse card as inspiration, explain your interpretation and link back to Muse.
• Provide supportive comments to at least 3 of your fellow member’s submissions.
• Vote for 3 of your fellow member’s submissions that you find inspiring, once voting opens.

Until next time,

Hello and welcome to another AnnaBelle Stamps Friday Feature Blog Hop. You should have arrived from Kylie’s lovely blog.

Today, the Belles are showcasing Sprinkles. What are sprinkles? Well, they are gorgeous little gem stones that come a a variety of colours and sizes. Go here to check them out.

What I love about sprinkles is that they don’t come with adhesive on the back…I use either Glossy Accents or Tombow Mono Multi glue to adhere them to my projects. (I never trust the adhesive that comes on the back of other brand gem stones and I will always add glue anyway).

Today I have used the blackcurrant sprinkles to add dots to my sweet lil’ ladybird card. Cute huh? This is quite a small card, measuring approximately 11cm by 9cm. I got the idea for this card here.

Now for a GIVEAWAY. If you would like to win $25 worth of AnnaBelle Sprinkles, comment on all of the DT’s blog and then head back to the ABS blog and add your name to the inlinkz. You have until Sunday 8pm (Australian EST) to enter.

Also ALL sprinkles are discounted by 20% when using the discount code ‘sprinkles20’. This offer is for the weekend only!

Your next stop on the hop is awesome Therese.

Happy Tuesday everyone,

Today I have a video to share with you for AnnaBelle Stamps on creating your own stationery set. Spring is no longer in the air here in Australia where I live, but I wanted to hang on to its memory for a little longer, so I used lots of flowers and fresh spring colours. Here is a look at the finished product and to view the video head on over to the AnnaBelle Stamps Blog.

Popping in quickly with a card for the Cas-uals Friday’s #97 challenge – chevrons and flowers. What an awesome combination!

Have a great day,

Hello and welcome back to another AnnaBelle Stamps challenge. This week we are saying it with black and white.

Such an elegant colour combo – perfect for a set of simple tags. My inspiration came from this picture I found on Pinterest.

I originally made the black tags (white heat embossing the images), then wondered what the opposite would look like. For this I stamped in VersaFine Onyx Black and the clear heat embossed over the top. I do like the black tags better.

All the sentiments are from the Designer Flower Stamp set – there are other names in the set as well – Mom, Nan, Grandma and Aunt. Perfect for the special women in your life.

This challenge will run for 2 weeks and the winner will receive a $15 Gift Voucher to the AnnaBelle Store. Hope you will play along with us. Be sure to check out the rest of the Belles’ projects – their links are on my side bar.
