All Aboard The Birthday Train!!

Hi Everyone

I hope you are all ok.  Its been a very busy couple of weeks for me and with the kids breaking up on Thursday for Easter it is about to get a whole lot busier!!  Its my youngest Son's 3rd Birthday near the end of the month and I would like to share the Birthday Card I made for him with you.  He is absolutely Train Mad so he should love this!!!  The Image which I coloured with Promarkers is called Love Train Luvvy and was one of the very first Digital Stamps I ever purchased.  It is from Digital Delights but when I went on their site earlier I couldn't see it so it may well be retired now.  I added Ryan's Name and a Number 3 Peel Off to the Image.  The Card Blank is 7" Square and my Base/Frame Layer is a Bazzill Basics Blue Shade.  The Spotty and Gingham Background Card are from my Stash.  I Hand Stamped both the "To a Very Special Son" and the Verse Sentiment using a Memento Tuxedo Black Ink Pad.  The verse I did think originally was a bit old for him but we call him our "Little Man" lol.  To finish I added several Blue Pearl Gems.

"One For The Girls" at Come and Get It Challenges

Hi Everyone

I am very pleased to be here at Come and Get It Challenges as Guest Designer this week.  Fitztown are sponsoring this Challenge and the theme is One For The Girls.  Thank you so much to the Design Team for having me!

I have used Image Ballerina from Fitztown Store.  Please click here to browse the fabulous Fitztown Images available.

To create this Card I used a 6" Scalloped Square Card Blank.  I coloured the Image using Promarkers and Graph It Markers.  Yes!!! I have finally tried a different pen.  I am increasing my collection of these but I cannot swap my Promarkers for them!  My Base/Frame Layer is a Bazill Basics and both the Patterened Papers are from LOTV Promises Paper Pad.  I recently treated my self to a X Cut rounded Corner Punch so I have used this to round of the square edges.  I Hand Stamped the "With Love" Sentiment using a Tuxedo Memento Ink Pad, added a Large Lilac Satin Bow and finished with several Purple Gems.

Anything Goes with CAS Notelets!

Hi Everyone

Its the start of a New Challenge at Scribble and Scrap Challenge Blog

The theme as always is Anything Goes.  Please come over and join in with Challenge #41

My DT Creation this time is a Notelet Set, all done CAS Style.  I have used all Penny Johnson Stamps and the names of these are Little Tobi Watering Roses, Little Tobi with Pinwheel, Sweet Dreams & Looking Chic.  As a child I was addicted to shuffling paper and buying packs of notelets to write to people on. (I still am lol) so I thought why not make your own little pack up.  And here it is lol!!!!  I made the folder by cutting down an A4 sheet of card and scoring a line either side of the middle (it needed height)  I then made pockets to put the notelets and envelopes in.  The notelet card blanks are 4" square.  All the images are coloured using ProMarkers.  As it's CAS style there isn't much else to say other than I couldn't resist adding a Bow to the Front Cover but I did restrain myself from adding Gems!

I would like to enter this creation into the following Challenges

Paradise of Stamps - Clean & Simple

CASology - Style 
Fairy Tale Challenge - Many Colours 
Creative Fingers Challenge - Anything Goes

Thank you for visiting my blog and sharing this with me.  I have a love for Penny Johnson Stamps so watch out for more creations using them!  Please leave me a comment to let me know what you think, I love reading them and really appreciate you leaving them.  Hope to see you again soon.

Easter at Jo's Scrap Shack!

Hello Everyone

I am pleased to be a Guest Designer at Jo's Scrap Shack.  Fitztown are sponsoring the New Challenge at Jo's Scrap Shack.  The Theme is Easter and I have used the Image called Easter 5 which you can find at the Fitztown Store.  Thank you to Jo and the team for having me with them.  It would be great if you could come on over and join in with the Challenge.

I made an easel card.  I cut the shape using Go Kreate Frilly Frame Die and coloured the Image using ProMarkers.  The Patterned Paper is from LOTV One Birdie Lane Paper Pad.  I decided to keep the card fairly simple so as not to take the focus away from the Extremely Cute Bunny!  I Hand Stamped the Sentiment using Memento Tuxedo Ink Pad and I added Paper Flowers, a Satin Bow and Various Clear Orange shade Gems.

Hi Everybody!

It's Midway Inspiration Time over at the Fitztown Challenge Blog.  This Month the Theme is Anything Goes With A Twist - Use Green

This time I have used Image Fae 2 and she can be found here.  For more of these Beautiful Images please visit the Fitztown Store by clicking here.

My Mother in Law's favourite colour is Green so I decided to use this Image to make her Mother's Day Card.  Here is what I used.

The Card Size is a 7" Square Easel.  I used a Forest Green Plain Cardstock for my Base/Frame Layer and the Patterned Paper is from the Back to Nature Paper Pack.  I added a Ribbon Border and Hand Tied the Bow.  The Sentiments are both from Stampingallday and I Stamped them using a Tuxedo Memneto Ink Pad.  The Die that I have used in the Bottom Right Hand Corner is Memory Box Loveland Corner.  To finish I added Green Pearl Gems

Happy Easter with Lillies

Hi There!

I don't normally make Easter Cards but I decided to change that this year, especially when I found Hannah Lynn's Easter Lily Fairy Image!  I have coloured her using my Promarkers and Graph'It Markers and added Diamond Sparkles Angel Whispers Glitter to her wings and the Lily's Stamens (I think that's what they are called)  My Base/Frame Layer is a Bazill Basics Brown Shade and I have used a Yellow Polka Dot Patterned Card for the Background.  I Hand Stamped the "Happy Easter" Sentiment which is from Stampingallday, added Foam Lillies, a couple of Yellow Bows and finished with some clear Yellow Gems.  Hopefully you can see that the Lillies are coloured in a light yellow.  Yellow is a strange colour for my camera to pick up!
