Sweet Stampin' Challenge

Morning all, it's Saturday and that means it's time for a new challenge at Sweet Stampin'. 

This week our theme is

Father's Day/Special Man

The winner of this week's challenge will win a SS goodie bag!

I decided to do something for MY Dad as Tuesday would have seen his 90th birthday. This is a poem called High Flight which my Dad loved and I've used a cloud stencil and aeroplane stamps to add to it. Finally I stamped the LotV Aeroplane stamp and highlighted bits with a copic.  This is always a tough challenge but I didn't realise how tough this particular make would be.

Make a card or other craft project using a Sugar Nellie image and this prize could be yours.

(remember the Sugar Nellie image - that's essential!)

I've gone for a digi I bought quite recently Bang Bang. Got to be honest, not overly fond of cat images but I like this one with his drum making some noise for someone's birthday (and if I don't get a move on that someone's birthday will be Scott on Monday!!)

Half Full or Half Empty

Morning!

Hope you're all well. 

It's the weekend, and for some in da house (me) it's just another weekend as I don't get the holiday Monday from work. Andy and Scott are off in Edinburgh for the football so it's just me and Craig this morning. What to do.....

Anyway, while we contemplate, here is Opal the Optimist with her half empty glass. Or is it half full?!

And here is my card. I wasn't initially sure what to do. Am really not good on colour challenges or photo inspiration pics. Then I saw this new Tiddly Inks image and decided I liked her and to use her for this challenge and paper piece her scooter with this fab grey spotty paper I found!

Love You The Mostest

Morning all. 

Monday already! Can't believe the weekend is over already. Another weekend closer to Scott's birthday.... I really should start shopping soon ;)

Wake Up And Smell The Coffee

Morning.

Hope all well with you. I'm overdue a catch up round blogs so I'll be doing that later today.

This is a card I made for a friend's birthday yesterday. I know, made yesterday and blogging today, whatever next!! There are cards I haven't shared yet and the recipient will be celebrating their next birthday before I've managed it!

I've used the Saturated Canary image Neeve from the CD in Complete Cardmaking magazine. She was printed quite large so that I could crop her down and she'd still be quite big. I also wanted to use my new TH stamps so they went really well with this and I used Early Espresso ink to stamp them with, so there's a whole lot of coffee going through this card ;)

Seriously, How Long Does It Take To Write A Blog Post

Evening....  it's ages since I started this blog post but I started to do something else and forgot I hadn't finished.

Tonight I'm sharing a card I was asked to make recently for a little girl celebrating her first birthday. 

I've used this wee cutie from Mo's Digital Pencil which I actually bought for another card, but I'll show you that another day. I also figured that as the wee girl was only 1 she wouldn't mind if the card wasn't you know what....

A Lick of Paint

Morning.

Happy Saturday to you.

This is one of two cards I was asked to make a couple of weeks ago for a friend's Dad's birthday - this one is from the kids. I've used one of the original LotV black and white art pads but I loved the image so much after I'd made the card I went and bought the stamp as I love him so much.

Soaking Sunday

Evening.

It's been a bit wet here today - and most of yesterday too. Scott's rugby was cancelled today as the pitch resembled a swimming pool!

It's the wee girl next door's birthday today and this was a perfect opportunity to break out my new LotV stamp - Annabel Texting. I had an idea in my head of what I was going to do with the card, but actually this doesn't look a bit like it - the only thing that was in the plan is the image!!

A Night Under Canvas

Evening!

So it's May. Already. How can that be? This week we've had summer and winter weather. Actually not just through the week - through the course of a day!!!

Tonight's card is the lovely Annabel who is off for a night under canvas. Or maybe she's playing through the day, who knows but she's having fun in the tent with her little dog! I love this image and that's the only reason I bought it, not because I had a specific reason to use it.
