The DT were given a choice fro all Chris's fab images to use on there samples this week & I chose this fab Posh Shoe which is so versatile for lots of occasions.

I've used it to make a 21st birthday card & have coloured it with Copics & added lots of stickles.

The papers & cardstock are Stampin Up as is the piece of ribbon.

I've used my Marianne Creatables flower & leaf punch to create the flowers & added a little cream rose to the centre. The flower is punched from Rich Razzleberry cardstock & the leaf from Papermania green vellum.

Please pop across & see what the rest of the DT have done with Chris's images.

Hey Santa Baby!!

This week at Crafty Creations we have a fab sketch from Jeanet. I think you'll agree this sketch leaves plenty of room for you to use your own creativity & embellishments . . . . . nice & simple . . . . . my kind of sketch!!

The addition to the challenge is to use a stamped image & some ribbon or lace.

This is one of my favorite Sugar Nellie Christmas stamps, isn't she just the cutest?? I've coloured her using Copics & added lots of stickles to her hat, coat & boots for that bit of Christmas sparkle.

The cardstock is Stampin Up & the paper is from a Dovecraft basics pack. I've mounted Mrs Santa on a circle which has been embossed using the snowflakes folder which has then been mounted on card embossed with the Snow Sledding folder.

The poinsettia is cut using the Marianne Creatables Straight Ponsettia which is my favorite die at the moment & the snowflakes are a Quickutz die. All finished off with a little bit of bling.

I've used some lace to make the little snowflake which I've snipped inbetween the points & glued round a small card circle finished off with a little snowflake eyelet in the centre.

Owl Will Always Love Youuuuuuu

Sorry !!! couldn't resist bursting in to song. Don't you just love this cute little fellow?? The DT at Crafty Creations were lucky enough to be able to work with the fab digis at

this week and had a choice from the Owl Magic set to use.

The images are great to print & a joy to colour so I had great fun producing this card.

I got out my skeleton leaves again for this weeks challenge as I thought this lovely little bird needed a Fall background to stand against. The papers are from the Basic Grey range & the cardstock is Stampin Up Chocolate Chip. The die cut skeleton leaf is made using the Marianne Creatables flower set here. These dies are so easy to use & so effective. I've finished off with a Boho Blossoms SU punched flower & a Little button & twine also from SU. The charm & string are from my stash.

Another Craft Creations Challenge

This weeks challenge Crafty Creations has been set by Jaime & she wants to see us all using Falling Leaves.

Fall Colours - Fall Harvest - Fall Leaves

It's been such a long time since I've used skeleton leaves but have loads in my stash from 'the old days!!!' lol!!  I've used blue & brown leaves to match the colours in the DP which is from Craftwork Cards.

The cardstock is Tempting Turquoise & Kraft both from Stampin Up. The lace & tulle are both from Click-on-Crafts & the sentiment in an SU stamp. The flowers are all from my stash.

Thanks for looking & please pop over & have a look at the other DT cards.

Spoon Full Of Sugar - Anything Goes

Another birthday order

I'm really lucky to have a large number of customers amongst the mums at my children's school but one thing some of them are not good at doing is giving me any notice when they need a card for a special occasion lol!!
That's when I tend to fall back on designs I've used before &, particularly for women, when I fall back on my good old faithful Pink Cat Studio Fashion Stamp Set which I bought from Dies To Die For.

The papers are Dovecraft - Hint of Pink & the flowers are made using some new vellum I've just bought from Stampin Up, it's alot thicker & easier to emboss. I've punched it using the SU Five Petal Flower punch & the centres are from the Boho Blossoms punch also from SU finished off with stickles in the centre. I've also used the SU punch Eyelet Border on the Melon Mambo card under the stamped image. The ribbon is from my stash.

I'm entering this card in the following challenges

Totally Papercraft - Happy Birthday

For Fun Challenges - Glitter it up (stickles on the flowers)

Glitterbabes Challenge - Anything goes with glitter

Special Birthday

Here is a card I made for my cousins little girls birthday. The image 'Penelopes Wagon' from Mo's Digital Pencil is just perfect as Abbi's hair is just as unruly as Penelopes lol!! She's such a joy to colour & I really enjoyed giving her the pink treatment.

I decided to go with an easel card as I really enjoy making them but don't do it often enough.

I've coloured her with Copics & given her a massive overdose of Stickles on her skirt.

The papers are & the cardsock is Stampin Up Melon Mambo.

The flowers are made using a retro punch & I've added some little crystals to the centre. The small flowers are punched using the Boho Blossoms punch from Stampin Up (what would I do without this punch??!!) & I've added Stickles to the centre of these as well.

The lace is from my stash & has been attched using staples but these have been hidden by the flowers. The sentiment is computer generated.

I'm entering this card into the following challenges

Crafts & Me Challenge - Easels

Paper Sundaes - 3 or more embellishments (I've use lace flowers & crystals)

Crafty Ann's Challenge Blog - Monocromatic (I've used shades of pink)

Crafty Creations Challenge 85 - Music/Dance

The theme over at Crafty Creations this week is

Music/Dance

& the rest of the DT have some lovely projects to give you inspiration. Our sponsor this week is Cristy Croll from Tiddly Inks.

My card this week is an order from a friend for her daughter. I remember her being born so this was a really 'make me feel old' moment!!

Her daughter is big into singing & dancing so I was delighted when I found this image. The colours matched beautifully with Stampin Up Yo Yo Yellow so that set the colour scheme for the card.

The DP is Stampin Up Bridegroom which gives a lovely background. I've run the cardstock through the cuttlebug using the argyle folder & finished off with some black & white ribbon & a gold embossed star. I've edged the image using a border punch from Hobbycraft.

Thanks for looking & hope you can join us this week.
