I’m popping in just before the deadline for this month’s Papertrey Ink Blog Hop – Pretty in Pink.

I layered strips of patterned paper onto some white card stock and then to create a softer look, I sewed a piece of vellum over the top. The sentiment is white heat embossed on top of the vellum.

Until next time,

Hello and welcome to AnnaBelle Stamps Friday Feature Blog Hop. If you have arrived from Kylie’s Blog, you are in the right spot.

Today, the Belles are showcasing the Garden Silhouettes Stamp set. This is such a versatile set with so many stamps in it. Today I decided to challenge myself and use a stamp from the set I had never used before. I chose a little flourishy motif and after some playing, my card and tag were born. I wanted a sentiment that matched the flourish, so I used a portion of a stamp from the Standing Tall stamp set.

The little tiny hearts are covered in Ranger enamel accents. Love this stuff!

Now if you would like a chance to win yourself a copy of the Garden Silhouettes Stamp set, leave a comment on all the DT’s blogs and then head back to the ABS blog and add your name to the inlinkz. Too easy.

Andrea also has generously discounted the Garden Silhouettes Stamp set by 20% for this weekend only. Go here to grab yourself a bargain.

Your next stop on the hop is my uber talented friend Therese (who I get to meet in person for the first time this weekend – woo hoo!)

It is Friday again. This week at AnnaBelle Stamps we have a challenge for you which is to choose your favourite AnnaBelle Stamps sketch. To view all of the AnnaBelle sketches you need to head here.

I loved the AnnaBelle sketch AC155 the first time around and I really loved the card I made…it is my favourite card to date. So I decided to choose the same sketch, but this time I flipped it. I wanted to case my first card – so used the same stamp set. I just went with another colour palette which is a bit different for me and changed up some of the elements.

Be sure to check out the rest of the Belles’ projects – their links are on my side bar.

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

Today, the Belles are showcasing the Lil Belles set. There are quite a few Lil Belles sets, so check them all out below. Today I have decided to use A Beautiful Day stamp set.

For those of you who know me, patterned paper and I are not the best of friends. Well… I am pleased to say that several pieces of patterned paper were harmed in the making of this card 🙂

Wow! It is Friday already! This week at AnnaBelle Stamps we are having an Anything Goes challenge – Woo Hoo! Hope you will play along with us this week.

I decided to make a simple one layer card, colouring the image in with Copics. I am on a Copic colouring phase at the moment 🙂

Be sure to check out the rest of the Belles’ projects to see how they have used this set – their links are on my side bar.

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,
