Dino Birthday

This little fellow is yet another Dustin Pike digital stamp. I am actually going to enter this one on Dustins' challenge blog. I have used Pumpkin Pie card stock together with the birthday roller wheel from Stampin up, to create, somewhat, of designer paper for the background. I used Dustins' digital dino and balloons and also my trusty sewing machine for the balloon strings and little border around the card. Hope you like it.

Celebrate Friends

This is the first stamp I have used from Lori Designs. It is sooooo cute. I chose, Pumpkin Pie, Marina Mist, Whisper White and Old Olive as my colours so I could enter this card in a challenge. Here are the details:

The Bently Connection

Okay, so I woke up this morning, and this little picture was waiting for me in my inbox. AWESOME. It seems that Bently and I have a great connection going on here. I have used him in both challenges I have entered with Bugaboo and have won one, and placed in the other one. Damn, he's a fine little fellow. I am really happy to get this award, and extremely surprised at the same time.  Thank you.

New Bugaboo Challenge

This card here is for the new bugaboo challenge - 4 layers or more, for this week. I enjoy the challenges because it give you a reason to sit down, relax and enjoy creating. Thanks for looking.

Pocket Organiser

Here is another page from my Digital Organiser I am currently making. Apart from the A4 pages, including the binder index card and colouring page, I will be including a template so you can have a pocket version as well. I will be adding spiral binding to the pages, but I am not finished putting all the pages in as yet. I am using a ring clip. So here are the first three pages of the Bugaboo Section for you to look at. I am almost ready for the template to be down loadable. I just want to make sure it is right first. Sorry, I forgot to mention that the dimensions for this pocket organiser is 2.5" x 5". Perfect for you scrap / crop bag.

Introducing Donna

I thought I would introduce you all to Donna. I grabbed this digi stamp from Tiddlyinks. Really cute. I also used the colour coach from stampin up for the colour scheme. The main card colour is Basic Grey.

Easter Wishes

I made this card yesterday using a bugaboo stamps digital image. Actually it was a freebie. I was going to just use Daffodil Delight only, but i decided that the pink highlighted the bunnies as well.

Anything Goes Challenge

So on the Bugaboo Challenge site this week is a 'anything goes' project. I am not sure whether this project I am making quite qualifies for this heading, but I am going to post it anyway. This is going to be my catalogue for my digital stamps. (Mainly so I can keep track of them.) I have coloured in the stamps, using my favorite colours as the first page, and the second page has the colours again, with the copic marker numbers listed below the colour swatches. When I make a card, I will place a sample of the card on the 'cardstock' section of the page also. Hopefully, in about 10 years, I will have an A4 folder, full of index cards and colouring examples so I can refer to them. Being a Bugaboo Challenge, I thought my first page should be a bugaboo stamp, and I just adore Bently. After a few test runs, I hope to have a free download on my blog if required.

Inkspirations Challenge 2

Here is the second card I have made using the Inkspirations Colour Challenge. I am really liking these colours together. I think I may turn this into a class card as well.

Inkspirations Challenge 1

I made this card for the Inkspirations Colour Challenge for this week. I actually really like these colours together, although, probably not ones that I would have used if not for a challenge. But having said that, I have already made two cards for this challenge, and LOVE the colours. I used my favorite stamp set from Stampin Up, Just Believe and also my new butterfly sizzix embossing die. Really cute. If you pop on over to Inkspirations you will find the challenge there. The link is on my side bar.

Mojo Sketch 180

I made this little fellow from a digital image from Tiddlyink.com for the latest Mojo Monday Sketch. I used my copic markers for the colouring, Stampin Up Designer Papers and my Quickutz soccer ball die. I thought this little soccer ball fitted in well, considering it is a soccer themed card. All I need to do now, is find someone who plays soccer.

OOPS, I was meant to say I made this card for Sketch 184. Not 180.

Honourable Mention

Just checked the inspirations site to see the new challenge for this week, and to my surprise Mono Clyde received a honourable mention. Way to go Clyde :)

Working Class Bot

Here is another card I have made using the sketch challenge from Inkspirations. It is the same as the Mono Clyde card sketch. I will enter this one in the Inkspiration Challenge, although I am not sure how many cards you are allowed to enter. The colours consist of Old Olive, Soft Suede, Crumb Cake and Real Red. The card is a 5 x 5 card size made from Whisper White. This little image came from tiddlyinks. I have been looking at this little fellow for quite some time now, and finally decided that I would add him to my collection of digital stamps.

Mono Clyde

Here is the card I have made for the Bugaboo Challenge this week. It is making a card using only one colour. (Monochromatic). I usually don't make green cards, but it seemed to really suit this digital stamp. I love these challenges. The sketch for this card came from the Inkspirations Sketch Challenge for this week. I am doing two challenges in one here.

Another Bunny

This little fellow is from Dustin. I used my copic markers for the colouring and stampin up papers for the card and embellishments.

More Bently

I liked the other Bently card so much, I just had to make another one with the scraps I had left over. All paper is from Stampin up and the image of Bently is from the talented bugaboo stamps.



Check this out

I opened my emails this morning and look what I found. Thank you so much Bugaboo and Bently of course. I came first in the Bugaboo Challenge. Awesome. Time to go shopping for some more Digital Images.

Bugaboo Bently

This little fellow here is called Bently. I have used the same colour scheme as the post below, and I am going to enter him into the Bugaboo Challenge this week. The theme is Baby or Child. There is a link to Bugaboo on the left hand side of my blog posted under blogs if you are new to my site and want to play along. I really like the way this card turned out and is going to be one of my favorites for sure.

Monday's Class Preview

Here is one of the cards we will be making on Monday for class. I thought I would give you a little preview to see what we get up to. Easter is just around the corner, so it was only fitting that I combine a digi stamp with a Stampin Up stamp to create this cute little card. The colours, well maybe they are not really Easter related, but I'm not a very conventional person when it comes to specific colours for specific occasions. The second card we will be making is from the Creative Combination, that is definitely different. I will post this one after class finishes.

Second card for Sneak Peak

This is the second card I have made using the above colour combination. You know, using the colour coach is really not quite as simple as it looks. It actually makes you think about the card and colour placement before you try and create the card. Not sure whether or not that makes any sense at all, but I know what I am trying to say. PS I created a watermark for my cards, tell me what you think about it. 

Sneak Peak

Here is a little sneak peak at a new stamp that is released on 1st April 2011. I love this stamp. The colours for this card came from the Colour Coach, I'm sure you all know by now that i love this tool as well. I have used the sketch from inkspirations sketch challenge. Not sure whether you noticed, but it's the same layout as the turtle card.

Colour Coach - More Mustard

Well I guess there is not a real lot I can say about this post, other that, love the colours. The digital stamp is from bugaboo, everything else is from Stampin Up. Enjoy. Well, here I am saying that there is not much to write about this little card. I forgot to mention that I have used the sketch from Inkspirations as it was a sketch challenge. Sorry about that. Must have been a seniors moment.

Colour Coach - More Mustard

Blog holiday

Okay, so I can't send my blog on a holiday, but I have been making a few minor adjustments as you can see. Each time I teach myself how to add another element, you will notice my blog changing. Hopefully for the better.

Colour Coach – Night of Navy

 Here is the second card using the colour schemes from the Night of Navy swatch from the colour coach. Another digital image from Dustin Pike, more copic markers and Stampin Up cardstock and designer papers.
