Whiff of joy challenge.

I don't think I have ever entered this challenge but this week I was a bit inspired to have a go because I had been wanting to ink up this lovely lady for ages that I bought from a dear friend of mine. Mwah.xx She has been coloured with copics and prismas and having completely ransacked my craft stash and ( shock,horror...actually thrown stuff out) I found some of these bits lurking in my stash and thought they would be perfick for my card. The papers are a combination of nitwits and pink petticoat and the embellishments are all left over bits that I have somehow accumulated and have put them to good use, apart from the cookie charm....I found a whole bag of them ;0) The challenge on the whiff of joy blog is hearts and kraft.

Whiff of joy beauty

I love these whiff of joy stamps as they are so beautiful. This one has been coloured with promarkers. the sentiment is a stampin up one.

Karen's Saturday CMLI challenge.

Karen set the challenge this week over on the CMLI group. As usual we were treated to a fab sketch and the twist of Christmas.  well it's never too early to start making those cards.  It will creep up on you pretty fast you know!!

There is a fab sketch challenge over at Whiff of Joy and here's my creation which also follows the Sunday theme on CMLI at craftbubble which is " Fruit and fibre".  I have coloured my image and the strawberries with distress inks.  this is the first time I have coloured with them and I obviously need more practice!

Whiff of Joy challenge.

Can you tell that I have been seriously deprived of my crafting after breaking a bone in  my hand? Well, it's been getting plenty of colouring practice today! I decided that I need to use more of the gorgeous Whiff of joy stamps that I own and so I popped over to the whiff of joy challenge blog and found a lovely sketch to use.  I will only just get this challenge in on time, but I think I'll be playing again some time soon! I have used one of the stamps from the Fall 2009 stamp kit.

Happy Birthday lovely Karen.

Here's the card I sent my friend Karen on her birthday today.

Don't you just love Pink Petticoat papers?

In honour of Katie's rise to the pink petticoat design team I have made this card using the pretty gingham papers that you can buy at pink petticoat.  They are absolutely fab for stitching on as well, as the lines really help you keep that stitching straight! Well done Katie, you so deserve that DT place. xx
