Let's get stamping group on Craftbubble.



This week on LGS on Craftbubble Karen set the sketch and her twist is Wings. I first thought about fairies and then aeroplanes and finally birds and I dug out this stamp which I bought ages ago and have never used. It's professor Yaffle from Bagpuss. He has been coloured with promarkers and glossy acccented. as usual I have used stitching. I think it's my thing and I figure the more I do the neater it will become. Please stop by Craftbubble and join in with the fun!

Willow sketchie challenge.



It's great that the Willow sketchie challenge has started again. Sharon provided a fab sketch this week and I loved it soooo much that I made two cards using the sketch and two of her very cute owl downloads.

New let's get stamping group challenge on craftbubble


It was my turn to set the challenge this week on the let's get stamping group on craftbubble. My twist this week is to use some element of your stationary box be it a safety pin, staple or paperclip or even a piece of sticky tape. I have used a cocktail stick, paperclip, piece of cotton and sticky tape to make the little fishing rod. The image is a lili of the valley one which was kindly sent to me by a dear friend. Isn't he a cutie pie? Awh xx

Pink Petticoat


I have a massive collection of Pink Petticoat papers and images and to celebrate their download sale on at the mo here's a card! Any excue to use their lush images and papers!! xx

Dottie's world challenge..blood, sweat and tears!!


Thios week on the Dottie's world challenge we were asked to use something old and something new as well as a charmed download. This turned out to be a real labour of love as I sliced open my finger on my paper trimmer which bled all over my papers so I had to bin them and start again! Then my sewing m achine jammed and continued to jam and several hours later I found it was something so very simple! I had put the wrong bobbin in it from a differnet machine and it was therefore loose! Oh I cried!! Tears of joy that it was working again and anger because it was something so silly!
Anyway, the something old is the papers, twinkling H20s and sewing machine ( 17 years old!) and the something new are the paper flowers and fibres.

Craftbubble LGS group design team debut

Today is my design team debut on the craftbubble lets get stamping group. Here's my sketch.
My twist is to be inspired by knickers! The patterns, the colours and trimmings, saucy ones or Bridget Jones style...the choice is yours. I'm hoping that it has put a smile on my fellow craftbubblers faces ( all four faces!!)
Here's my interpretation of it.

Craftbubble new challenge with news.


This week the new design team member was announced in the let's get stamping group on craftbubble and Karen has set us a fab sketch with the twist of using orange and brown. Well, I am delighted to say that the new design team member selected by Lauren and Karen is..............ME!!!!!!! I really am sooooo chuffed and I was hoping it was going to be me! I have been busy drawing sketches and thinking up twists and I'm enjoying that aspect already! My fellow bubblers are a great bunch of people and we have a lot of laughs along the way! Do please come and join us as we are one of the friendliest and supportive groups around but be warned we do giggle a fair bit! This is my take on Karen's sketchie!!
I have used Pink Petticoat papers, Martha Stewart doily punch, Pollycraft image and sizzix and nestabilities dies. Coloured with promarkers!!

Last weeks Craftbubble challenge


Last weeks Craftbubble challenge was the last one to be set by Katie as she is sadly stepping down from her position in the design team. An advert was placed in the group and we had to wait a week to see who had been appointed......Here's my take on Katie's challenge. I used a personal impression heart punch and made them into butterflies adding wire as the body all finished off with little paper flowers and punched leaves.

Behind!


Oh I am so behind with everything and I don't know where the time is going! So the next few posts are catch ups! Last weeks Dottie's world challenge was to use stars on your card and use a charmed download of course! Here's mine which is better late than never and now I will have to do this weeks challenge as soon as possible!!

Sunday Greens with a bit of love.
