Hi there,
I have a different kind of project to share with you today. One of my friends recently had a baby and I wanted to make her and her little man Felix, a little something special to go in the nursery. Mama Elephant’s ‘Up and Away’ set came to the rescue again. I cannot get enough of this cute set!

I sponged the clouds by making my own template and using several distress ink colours. The name is made from a really old set of rub-ons that I have had in my stash for at least 10 years. The whole scene was placed in a shadow box that I bought from Ikea (gotta love that shop). I decided to include Mr Squeaky Mouse in the photo, much to the delight of my daughter 🙂

I had so much fun making this, that I think I just may have to make some more!
Thanks for stopping by,

Good morning,

I am currently taking the latest Online Card Class – His and Hers. I was lucky enough to win a spot 🙂

This is my Day 1 Homework. I have made a His and Her card, both using the same sketch and both using the masking technique that Jennifer McGuire showed us in her Day 1 video. I had fun playing with my new Jane’s Doodle Stamp set called Doodle Flowers to create these single layer cards. Both of these cards use the set. For the His card, I used one of the leaf stamps and created a background. Does it work as a masculine card?

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!

Ok, so you can probably tell that I am on holidays due to the number of posts! I am crafting to my heart’s content and loving it!

CAS-ual Friday’s are having a Thank you Challenge and I wanted to play along.

No stamping on this one. Just some washi tape, a daisy die and a thank you rub-on!

Thanks for dropping by,

Today I am popping in quickly with a gift tag to share…I LOVE tags. When I saw that Cas-ual Fridays (CFC #80) was having a gift tag challenge, I just had to play along. There is some stamping on the background, but the sentiment and the bird cage are rub-ons. Very quick and easy to make – that’s about all I have time for these days!

I appreciate you stopping by,

I am currently taking the Kick Start – the new Online Card Class. I love these classes because I love watching talented people craft! These classes are jam packed with inspiration.

On Day 4 were we asked to go back through our supplies and use something ‘old’. Well for me that means rub-ons…and yes I have a BIG stash of them. They were one of my first loves! I also revisited a twine flower that I used a while back here…and decided to give it another go.

And do you like my colourful wave strip? It is made with this new AnnaBelle Stamps Die – it is a banner die. I love using product other than their intended purpose.
