Shirt & Tie card.

With Fathers Day not far away, here is a Shirt & Tie card just perfect for a Father of any age. Or brother, son, uncle, any male really. The shirt is Baja Breeze with the tie folded DSP Urban Oasis. A couple of brads in the collar and a paperclip for a tie clip.

Sunday Scrap.

Hi it's Sunday Scrap time again. This week I have Scraped my daughter Rebecca when she was 4 months old. The very small title is " I made a wish and you came true". I have used up some DSP squares from the DSP Sampler that I have been taking to workshops and won't need much longer. Not wanting to waste anything I thought I would use them in my paper craft.

Card: So Saffron, Pretty in Pink, Certainly Celery, Whisper White, Vellum
DSP: Tea Party
Markers: Certainly Celery, Pretty in Pink, So Saffron
Punches: eyelet boarder, 1 3/8" circle, fancy flower, round tab, butterfly
Tools: Big Shot- Perfect Polka Dots Embossing Folder

Hope you get time to Scrap today.

Mojo Monday 153.

Hi, I had a really fun day yesterday stamping with my Mum, we played around with different techniques and the Big Shot. We didn't actually get any cards finished but we had a great time.
Rebecca was looking for a birthday card for her friend this morning and the pickings were slim so I used the Mojo Monday 153 sketch challenge to make a girl teen birthday card. I've used a new Hostess stamp set Playful Pieces coming out in the new 2010/2011 Idea Book Catalogue on the 1st of September. This set is really fun to play with.

Recipe
Stamp Sets: Playful Pieces, Party this Way
Card: Regal Rose, Coco Chip, Whisper White
DSP: Sweet Always
Ink: Regal Rose, Pumpkin Pie, Choc Chip
Punches: 1 1/4" square, scallop square, trio flowers, word window
Tools: Big Shot-Timeless Type Alpha Jnr
Accessories: Choc Chip ribbon, Pumpkin Pie ribbon, rhinestone brad, pumpkin pie brads, dazzling diamonds (candle flames)
.
Now I better go and make something for the Fathers Day stall, not many days left.
Thanks for stopping in and have a great day.

Sunday Scrap.

Hi, another boy page today for Sunday Scrap. This is Alex at his very first Sports Day at Preschool. It is quite tricky to fit a lot of photo's on one page but with a bit of cropping I managed to get 5 photo's on there. I know it's hard to see here but in every photo he has the biggest smile on his face, he had such a fun day.
Again I have used the Big Shot with the Timeless Type Jnr Alpha dies for my title. There are a few different elements for the embellishments, metal edge tags, ribbon, DSP Good Morning Sunshine, punched shapes, rhinestone brads and a button. Which combine to make a bright and fun page.



Hope your having a fabulous weekend.

For the Clowns.

A couple of weeks ago we went to the school variety show, it was so good, but the best act of all were the clowns. They were so very funny and very entertaining. So I made this card for them to show how much we enjoyed their performance. The two clowns are so amazing they performed 4 nights in a row and twice on Saturday. I can't wait to see what they come up with for next year.
I've added crystal effects to their noses and balls. And dazzling diamonds on the tutu.


Recipe
Stamp Sets: Sweet Little Sentiments, All in the Family, Family Favorites, Family Accessories Too
Card: Real Red, Pacific point, Tempting Turquoise, Whisper White
Ink: VersaMark, Basic Black
Markers: Real Red, Old Olive, Tempting Turquoise, Orchid Opulence, Summer Sun, Creamy Caramel
Accessories: blender pen, crystal effects, dazzling diamonds
Tools: stampa ma jig

Just Add Ink #31.

Just Add Ink have a colour challenge this week, Real Red, Choc Chip & Kraft. My favorite colours for Christmas. It's never too early to start Christmas cards. I've added a bit of Very Vanilla for the Top Note panel, stamped the greeting and tree from the Season of Joy stamp set and spritzed with the choc chip marker. The red flower has been clear heat embossed. The Kraft panel has been dry embossed with the Perfect Polka Dots Textured Impressions Embossing Folder.

Thanks.
