A Happy Scramper

Sweet Sentiments

I have 3 cards in Australian Cardmaking Stamping and Papercraft Magazine Vol 18 No.5 that were a real labour of love. I'm not going to kid you - these cards took me aaaggggees to make lol :-) I had just received new goodies from Papertrey (the Wonderful Words Dies and matching stamps and a few cardstock colours) and I was so keen to play around with them together.

Here's the end result....

....lots of sentiments from a variety of companies.....all listed in the mag which is very helpful. Of course you can use whatever sentiment and decorative stamps you have in your stash to do the same thing.

 

 

Papers used are from Prima's Madeline A4 paper pad.

I love these PTI products - sadly I've hardly played with them since.....it's sad how that happens in our crafty lives isn't it - new things catch our eye and we forget the old - must make a concerted effort to remedy that! They would be great on my layouts me thinks :-))

I'm off to play with my Shabby Tea Room creation for this week - with this gorgeous inspiration how could I resist!.....

I'm having fun with a sweet, shabby layout instead of a card this time.....will be back to share soon.

Have a lovely weekend all!

The Shabby Tea Room #110

With the theme  "Beautiful Roses" and this delicious inspiration picture I could not resist playing along at The Shabby Tea Room this week.....

...those soft sweet colours are some of my very favourites.....I pulled out my matching PTI cardstock (Aqua Mist and Sweet Blush); my MFT Rolled Roses Die (of course) and a Prima journalling card and here's the result -

Wish I'd swiped a little white paint around the edges of my roses now but not to worry lol....I did enjoy shabbying them up a little....

...and adding a couple of little banners to the side...

Thanks for popping by again today - two posts in one day - not bad huh! ;-))

See you all again soon.....

Set of 3 cards

Hey there - Happy Hump Day to you!

Have you been over to the Scrapbook Boutique Blog to check out their March Challenge?

You really should - you could win a $30 Gift voucher to Scrapbook Boutique online store - and let me tell you it's papercrafting heaven over there :-)))

Just be inspired by this gorgeous pic and add a handmade flower to your creation - easy! :)

I have 3 cards to share with you today - you'll find them in the new Australian Cardmaking, Stamping and Papercraft Magazine Vol 18 #3.

I created this card first and then thought I'd make a couple more using the same layout but changing the colours, papers and die cuts used. I do love this basic card sketch - a fave of mine:-)

You'll find all the details in the new mag - with lots and lots of great card inspiration - it's a fab issue!

Time for me to get another load of washing out - what are "days off" for right!? 

I'll be back with a layout for the current Once Upon A Sketch Challenge tomorrow.

Cheers

Vintage White with the Shabby Tea Room

Love me some Vintage White :) so couldn't resist having a play with the latest Shabby Tea Room challenge #80.....to create a monochromatic card or project using WHITE OR CREAM, KRAFT, BROWN OR BLACK....inspired by this sa-weeet pic -

So I gathered together some delicious creamy goodies and here's my card....

Cardstock: PTI Rustic Cream

Patterned Paper: Prima Madeline A4 Paper Pad

Stamps: PTI Mega Mixed Messages

Ink: Memento London Fog

Embellishments: Tattered Angels Chipboard Frame; seam binding; Wild Orchid Crafts flower; chipboard heart; string

Tools: Cuttlebug; Music Embossing Folder; Martha Stewart Wildflowers Border Punch

Well the footy's on....Go the Broncos.....and the boys are already sounding a bit dejected :( so I'll craft it out here in my scrap room and hope they can find some magic without their missing Captain.

Enjoy the weekend all:-)

A triple challenge combo:)

It's not often I can combine 3 challenges but tonight I have managed just that....Chupa's Saturday Sketchbook Challenge/The Scrapbook Boutique Colour Challenge (Aqua-Berry-Pink and a touch of pearl) and Moxie Fab World's Tuesday Trigger....with its sweet bunting, flowers and general country feel:-))

                                        

 

You yourself are sweet popping into my blog today and I truly appreciate your support and your comments.

I hope you have a FAB Friday! My boys are off fishing so guess what I'm going to do;-)))

Verve and Crate

Woohooooo.....it's Friday....and school holidays....a doubley wonderful feeling:-))

I've been having a lovely play with some gorgeous new goodies from Shop and Crop....namely the so sweet Crate Paper Farmhouse papers and Random Stand Outs....what's not to love about these sweet country inspired papers and dimensionally eye catching embellies...

Recognise the sketch? It's Verve's September Week 2 Sketch by the amazing Amy Sheffer...

One card with these delish goodies wasn't enough so I played a little more lol....

Tonight I'm going to play with another challenge....or two....I think I'll combine Chupa's Saturday sketch and Mona's CR84FN Colour Challenge....that should give the creative juices a workout:-)

I'll be back to share the result tomorrow....cya:-))

 

Card Patterns 132

First up....scroll down to check out THIS POST with all the details about this....

I've been so busy this month with other crafting things that I haven't been able to take part in any challenges, but last night I remedied that situation:-)

I worked with this cool Card Patterns Sketch #132...

It has been a while between cards for me and my beloved Prima Madeline Paper Pad so out she came in all her gorgeous flowery glory.....aaaaaahhhhh:)

I also enjoyed using my PTI dies....By The Numbers and Wonderful Words.

I love them! :-)))

Tonight I plan to attack another of my favourite challenges so I'll be back with that soon. 

TGIF tomorrow.....not to mention School Holidays :-)))) so I'm planning to go crafting craaaaazy for a couple of weeks.....woohoooo:-))

Thanks for your visit and lovely comments...see you soon!

 

Birthday Card

Well what a great week.... Show Holiday Monday, my normal day off today....not bad, not bad at all lol.

I've had a lovely time playing with some DT work today but didn't want to neglect you all so here's a card I made on the weekend for a friend and co-worker....no surprises how old she turned:-))

My gorgeous much loved Prima Annalee papers here, MS Doily Lace Punch, PTI Number Dies, Nestie Labels 14 Die, PTI Hawaiian Shores cardstock, SU! Dazzling Diamonds glitter and Prima flower.

I just love that sweet little flower nestled in the seam binding bow....and the glittery numbers to boot:-)) So much to love about this delish hobby....and to top it all off my friend loved her card so that made me smile too.

Hope you're having a wonderful week too....where ever you may be:-)

Thanks for stopping by and for leaving me happy comments that make my day.

Cheers....

Linda
