Just one...

Just the one card to post this evening!

The dress was stamped twice, once on patterned paper and then on white card. I cut out the dress from the pp (not the hanger) and layered over the image on the white card. This was then matted onto black card and mounted onto the card with a background of matching paper and card, ribbon and gems to finish.



I was quite pleased with how this turned out.

I've been looking at treating myself to some new stamps but I want some Sarah Kay ones but everywhere seems to be out of stock at the moment. Anyone know who has them available?

Hope you are all having a good evening!

Penny Black Challenge

Last week I said I was going to try and participate in some of the fantastic challenge blogs that I have come across since joining this wonderful "blog world". I am hoping doing some of the challenges will encourage me try out some new ideas and techniques that I probably wouldn't otherwise attempt and also for a lil' bit of fun!

I have thereforehad a go at this weeks Penny Black Saturday Challenge. Challenge 4 is to use Buttons & Brads on your card. Now, buttons is not something I would normally use whereas brads tend to feature quite often. This is what I came up with...

Supplies: PB stamp watercoloured with pencils, papermania paper, bazzil cs, Doodlebug brads, pink petticoat greeting, ribbon and button (from my stash-its been there so long I have no idea where it is from!).

It doesn't really show on the pic but the main image and greeting are raised up on foam pads.

Thanks for looking.

Big Clear Out!

Well, so much for me saying I would have more time to do some blog challenges! I haven't done much crafting this week at all.

I decided to sort out our spare room in preparation for my in laws and nephew coming to stay in a couple of weeks and what started as a fairly small and easy job turned into a mammoth task! Do you ever do that? I ended up sorting out the wardrobe (full of my daughter's outgrown clothes and toys) in the spare room and finally got around to sorting through a couple of boxes that we had never got around to unpacking from when we moved in (over 2 years ago!). As if that wasn't enough I then moved onto clearing out the wardrobes in our room. We have fitted wardrobes all along one wall and they were crammed full! I came across 2 big boxes full of old photographs that I'd forgotten I had, including some which belonged to my Gran. There are some of my childhood, my Mum when she was a little girl and also my Gran as a baby with her parents and other relatives. I sadly lost Mum in 1999 and Gran in 2001 so these photos bought back wonderful memories. I intend to scan and copy them and scrapbook them. I can't wait to get satrted!

In the meantime here is a pic of the card I made for my hubby for Father's Day which I realised I had forgotten to upload to my blog. It's a very simple one as he says he doesn't like fussy cards!

Have a good weekend everyone! I'm off for a quick blog hop!


Supplies: Red cs, silver miri card, red ribbon, football topper, peel off greeting.
