Favorite Stamp for Sweet Stampin'~

Hi girls.
Can you believe it's Saturday again? AND IT'S JUNE!!
No way, can't be!
It's Challenge time over at ~Sweet Stampin'~  and this week it's use "Your Favourite Stamp"...
Could this challenge BE any simpler!

Our sponsors this week are Letreset, so that means Pro-Markers will be up for grabs, so go find your favourite stamp and join me and my team mates over at Sweet Stampin'.

For this theme I have chosen a stamp I have had for ages. This stamp, and several others in the pack, are from The Stamp Man and are called Butterfly Beauties.
I have used it quite a few times, and have stamped her in a few different colours before and used pro-markers to colour her in.
However this is the way I prefer to use her, and that is simply stamped with black brilliance ink and then clear embossing powder, gives her a lovely glossy look and no need for colour.

I have chosen a couple of sheets of MME paper and some leftover bits from my box. I have added several red candy dots and a sentiment from LOTV. As my sewing machine is set up next to my feet, under the table! I thought it only rude not to use it on this project!! Although I did go abit bonkers with the Zig Zags!!

Diddy Paper Gift Bag~

Hi Girls.

Not very nice weather here in Cumbria today....First rain we have seen in about 8 days!!
It has rained All Day too!
Good time to craft then!!

I have been Scrapbooking this morning, then Zumba on the Wii, then cleaning up, and cooking.
Tonight I have been having a "Play", and have made this little Paper Gift Bag. I wanted to join in with the latest Mo challenge at DP2 and they are asking for "Weather" related images,so I thought this one I have used is very "Summer"...What say's Summer more than Sunglasses, flip flops and Ice-Cream!!

I have used all leftover papers from my stash, didn't need alot as this little gift bag is only 5x7, I have also used a MS lace punch, a Hobby House Doily & Craftwork Cards Bunting.

Sailing Away~

Hello Girls.

Wow! Are you all enjoying the gorgeous weather we are having? It may possibly change a bit tomorrow, there should be a drop in temperature from 20. + to around 13., so should be a bit cooler, but still dry.

Just a quick make to show you tonight.
I have used a little "Warren" the Rabbit image from Craftwork Cards, ah what a cutie, and this time he is in a boat! I have quite a few of these ready to colour images of Warren he is seen covered in flowers, flying a kite and appropriately wearing a "Crown"!

I have used some Kraft card which I have embossed with a distressed brick wall (a Tim Holtz folder). The other papers are MME and paper from Stampin' Up. The button is by Prima and the punch is Fiskers. All the edges are inked with Tim's Walnut Stain.
Image is coloured with Tim Holtz distress markers, but I do prefer Pro-Markers for colouring in. Like to use Tim's best for direct to stamp technique.

Off on a Trip~

Hi Girls,

What a gorgeous day yet again, at this rate the Barbi will be out and food will be eaten outdoors....Oh stroll on, I do love chicken on a barbi!!

I have been rather busy today (yak, house work!!) but it did not go on for too long once I had got going, so had a little time to play aswell.
I like to join in when I can with the DP2 challenge and use a Mo Manning image (my favourite!)
This image is a new one for me, it's a topper, so have not coloured her myself, isn't she adorable?
She was bought from one of my favourite stalls at Harrogate craft show, Hobby House. Jill and Mark are the owners and are two lovely people. Jill's craft products are gorgeous, all top quality and just a bit different from the norm, she has a really good eye for what's on trend.

I have used two different double sided papers for this card.
The lilac sheet is from my new stash of Stampin' Up cardstock, which is really lovely. I have used both sides and they have large dots one side and script the other.
The small dots and pattern paper is from the latest Teresa Collins "Everyday Moments" 6x6 pad, and if you like "Blue's" you will adore this pad, every single sheet is beautiful. I have used one double sided sheet for this card.
Image is Mo Manning, little tickets are Wiff of Joy, button is Prima, Flowers are Hobby House and swirl is Sizzix.

Another Lovely Day~

Hello girls,

A big thank you for all the lovely comments you have left for me, I am glad you are interested in my Scrapbooking Layouts as well as my cards, that is so lovely of you all. Ta.

I have been busy Ironing today....but not just regular every day ironing,  Summer stuff out, Spring stuff away ironing. Do you know what I am on about!! I talk a right load of tosh sometimes!!!
I know what I mean, (I think i am the only one that does!!) LOL

Today's "project" is a Tag made for the Stampotique Designs Challenge and their theme is "Bright Colours"....nice and easy that one.

I have used a few of Tim's Inks to colour the background, a piece of book paper, a leaf stamp by Dylusions, a Hero Art's Sentiment stamp, and a Stampotique "Lady". My colouring has been done with Tim's Distress Markers.

Sisters Having Time Out~

Hello Ladies,

Well today was the nicest day weather wise we have had for ages, quite "hot"!

I started the day by going out for my usual walk with my friend Christine, and then I went to meet my other friends at our monthly Cut n' Chat group meet up.  It was great (always is) we do alot more "chat" than "Craft", but we have plans to do a mini Decco Book so over the next few months, so we should be "Crafting" AND "Chatting" for a change!!  Ha Ha

At the group I managed to ink up all the edges on the papers I have used on my latest Scrapbook Layout. Over at "Stuck!" they have this lovely sketch to follow, so here is my interpretation of it.

I started with this photograph of Me and my Sister Mandy, I love this photo as we were both having a well deserved sit down while the Children were playing in the Park.
We were having a short weekend break at Centre Parcs, Whinfell Forest in the Lake District.
We are really lucky as the Parc is only an hour and a half's drive away from us, so we can go early and leave late to make the most of our time there.

Sorry about the "crappy" photo taking, I MUST get lessons soon!! 

The background paper is by Bo-Bunny, the Etcetra collection, I love the way this paper has coffee stains and spills all over it, perfect for a base to start with.
The other papers are all leftover bits and bobs from my stash, I have used a lovely wooden Prima button and a bit of old tape measure. The pearl swirls are from Hobby House. I have added a "Together" title by Inkadinkado, a journal block by LOTV and some tiny word stamps by Hampton Art. The only thing I have not done is popped the date on....can't seem to find it on the back of any of the photo's, so will have to pop the CD in my PC and have a look, we had so many trips to Whinfell that I cannot possibly guess when it was!

Sugar--Free For All~

Hiya Girls,

Just a quick post while I am watching "Titanic". My hubby always laughs when I watch Titanic on the TV. Why are you watching it on the TV when you have the special addition on Blu Ray he says...I will never know why I do half the things I do!! I live in my own little world, but I like it there!!

For my second post of the day.
Over at The Sugar Bowl it's a "Free for All"  (as long as you use a Sugar Nellie image,)  easy as I love SN stamps, so my dilemma was which one to use! In the end I settled for "Little Boots" , how sweet is she with her "Scruffy" hair!!

I also chose the Challenge over at Sweet Stamps as they wanted you to use your favourite colour and of course in my case that's "Green", oh how I love green.
The image is coloured with pro-markers, my papers are from my bit box, and the flowers are from Hobby House .
