Challenge #370 ~~ Crazy for Colouring

The challenge at Shopping Our Stash is Crazy for Colouring!!! And I do love to colour. I also used this challenge to make an Anniversary card for my Hubby, September 3rd was our 58th anniversary.

The stamp I used is a Mo Manning stamp I bought from Stamping Bella many moons ago, when they were still in Ontario.  If I have used it before it's only once and thought it was appropriate for 58 years.

I seemed to have left my anniversary die at home along with another I wanted to use so I took advantage of the gold sentiment stickers I did take to the cottage.

This sentiment stamp is from Impression Obsession and I have had it a long time but to use it I had to take the paper backing of the cling stamp. I hope it's happy to be inked now.

For our anniversary the last few years (this year was no exception) we like to go to the Erie Beach Hotel for dinner, they have an awesome salad cart that comes to the table and good food too.

Thanks for stopping by today and dig out those markers, pencils, gelatos or what every you love to colour with and join the colouring fun at Shopping Our Stash.

Hello Cupcake

Hello again, it's my day to post on the Eyelet Outlet Blog,  I love using as many items as I can on one card without cluttering it up.  When I saw the cupcake paper flowers I knew I had the perfect image to showcase them with.  It's an older Stamping Bella stamp and the image was coloured with prisma colour pencils and sitting in a box with other usable images and it was perfect for the paper flowers.

In my stash of EO product I saw those cute heart sticky back bumpy bling, I also used some of the enamel dots in white and pink on her dress and there was no sense in leaving three little dots so sprinkled them on one side. 

These paper flowers are just adorable and come in many colours and many patterns.

Since I had pink dragonflies I just had to use a couple  on my card.

I love this sentiment and it's very true, 

Eyelet Outlet Products I used:

Cupcake paper flowers

White Enamel dots

Pink Enamel dots

Bumpy Heart Bling

Bright dragonflies 

(these are on the daily deal)

All these items are available at the Eyelet Outlet and Brads store.

Do you have the Winter Blues?

Shopping Our Stash #289 is Winter Blues....we want to see blue but not a Winter card.  Should be easy peasy and it was. Although I gravitate to Pinks and Purples, Blue is pretty cool. (pun intended) Since I needed to shop my stash I use dies and a stamp I haven't used in a least a year. Here is my Winter Blues card.......

I made an Easel card, can't remember the last time I made one, I used a Stamping Bella Uptown Girls stamp and cut it with Spellbinders 8 die and layered it on a Spellbinders Decorative labels die. The sentiment came with the girl and I used my circle and scalloped circle punches (have no idea when I used them last eiether) layered it on a fancy labels die. Notice I had to make the lollipop pink.

Close up of the image and see the sparkle on the lollipop. 

I put the sentiment on at the back of the easel. I found out these type of cards are not easy to photograph.

Thanks for visiting today and take some time and stave of those winter blues and join us for the challenge.

Uptown Girl meets the Mojo Sketch!!!

A quick post today as Hubby is waiting for me to get ready to go to dinner but I really wanted to get this done, the image has been ready for almost a week and I only have a few hours to get this posted. I loved the sketch and it was perfect for my Uptown Girl, and if I had finished sooner it was a NBUS as my stamp had never seen ink it hadn't even been opened. Here is my take on the sketch.

Tall and Skinny and lots of Pink.

I used my favourite colour Purple and lots of it.  This is for a friend that also has loves purple and dragonflies. The die cuts are spellbinders Labels 8 and Decorative labels 8.  And now for my hidden element………..

Oh no not yet… here is a close up of the dragonfly and now the hidden element…….

My card is hiding a note pad. It is an easel note pad holder and I found the easy to follow tutorial HERE. I hope that works it’s a video link. There is a space on the back to put a sentiment.

Side look at how the note pad holder works, sorry I forgot to take a picture of the back where I stamped the sentiment.

The Sound of Music at Drunken Stampers

Another Saturday another Challenge at the Drunken Stampers, this week the Midnight Margaritas are inviting you to play along with the Sound of Music. The details of the challenge you will find HERE

The idea for the challenge was not coming together very fast for me, my set of music stamps is MIA but going through my images I found something that would work and once it was finished I am quite pleased with it.

The image is from Stamping Bella, an online store in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, almost local for me. The background was stamped with versamark watermark and embossed in black. Music ribbon was a left over from an ATC swap I did last year

Supplies

Stamps…..Stamping Bella & Music block from Stampendous

Cardstock……GP White and Black

Ink….versamark watermark

Accessories……ribbon, rhinestones, spellbinders ovals small & large

Thanks for looking today and don’t forget to check out what all the other design team members have made for the challenge…just head over to Drunken Stampers Challenge Blog.

Confessions of a Shop-a-holic

                                         
Time for another challenge at the Drunken Stamper’s challenge blog! This week is #99 and the challenge is to use shoes and/or purses on your project.
I found the cutest sparkle dsp at a dollar store and it was 50 cents a sheet, I knew it was perfect for the challenge, The image is from Stamping Bella, which is a Canadian company from Toronto Ontario. I coloured it with prismacolor pencils and oms. I cropped the image so more of the dsp can be seen.
                           
Bonus………I made a second card, it is a purse card, I used a design that we had done at a class at Butterfly Moon   It starts with a sheet of card stock 5 1/2 X 8 1/2, scored at 1 and 5, crease and fold then measure 1 inch at the top where the 1 inch fold is and cut from that mark to the bottom corner, cut through all layers. then add the lacy strip and handles going through all layers. The bottom tucks under the folded part to close. Add your sentiment to the inside.  Sorry I didn’t take a picture of the open card.
                           
Don’t forget to stop by the Drunken Stampers and join in the shopaho8c challenge this week. You have until Friday October 5th at 11.59 Pacific time to link your project. I am looking forward to seeing your fabulous shoes/purses projects.
Thanks for stopping by today and I hope your day is fabulous.
