Happy Halloween Doorhanger!

Evening everyone! Hows the bank holiday weekend going? Mine's going well and I've had a really fun evening making this Halloween doorhanger (click image for a close up)! The other day when I was having a bit of lunch I was reading a back issue of the Craft Stamper magazine from May when my friend Judy had done a fab Sugarnellie feature and one of the projects she'd made was a doorhanger and since I wanted to start my Halloween (Samhain to some of us) projects I thought it would be ideal!

For the papers I've used the fab MME The Spiders Web from Elaine at Quixotic here with some distress ink in dusty concord sponged lightly. The fab image is one of Mo's-I absolutely adore her artwork and was only $3! Bargain!

Stuff: Mo's digital image 'Halloween Witch' coloured with Promarkers and copics, MME The Spiders Web available here, core'dinations card, distress ink in dusty concord, weathered wood and fire brick red, tim holtz distressing tool, gold elastic cord and twine available here, buttons from stash, sentiment is from a halloween stamp set but not sure of the brand (possibly hero arts).

I'm going to enter my project at Truly Scrumptious which was anything but a card and Double Dutch who asked us to pick one of their previous challenges to create from so mine is challenge 16 called Do not Disturb. Also over at Allsorts this week they're banning rubber and want to see digis so this definetly fits!

Since we're on the subject of Halloween have you seen these new Halloween stamps from Sugarnellie designed by Mary Hall? How cute are they? I just love em! They'll be available very soon from Funkykits so keep checking regularly so you don't miss out! Night night all!

A Card with Gift Holder...

Happy Wednesday everyone! Is this week flying by or what?! I've combined a few challenges again (isn't it addictive?!) and have made something different today-a wallet card and a little gift holder. For the card I've used the sketch at Midnight Madness (I won the midnight masterpiece award this week-was so chuffed!), I've used the colour combo of pink, brown and cream over at Double Dutch. It also qualifies for Whimsy Challenges which want to see animals and am going to enter it for ABC challenge which is Anything Goes, Allsorts which is vintage, and Paperplay Challenges which is all creatures great and small. The gift holder was made from the previous Double Dutch challenge, very simple to make but really cute me thinks:).

Stuff: Sugarnellie image Country Cousins range 'Purrfect Playmates', hotp papers flea market, core'dinations card, su ribbon, papermania adhesive pearls, mme wild asparagus papers, prima flowers (insides), lace from stash, fancy pants journalling cards

Have you checked out the sneak peeks on the Sugarnellie blog today? I can't wait for these new stamps to be released-they're soooo cute-my fave is the little girl with her hat and stripey tights! I shall be back in a bit with my candy winner!

Double Dutch....

Evening everyone! What lovely weather we're having still, hope everyone has had chance to enjoy some sunshine:) Todays card is for Double Dutch which challenged everyone to make a monotone something so my colour choice was brown. I've also used a new SugarNellie stamp which is from Diana Duda's new collection, this little luv is called 'curtsy'. I've actually done some paper piecing on her dress, I used a page from a really really old book that was going to go to a car boot sale or charity shop. I had to add some vintage photo distress ink though;) Over at allsorts this week they want to see wings in projects so shall be entering over there too.

Stuff I used: SugarNellie stamp 'curtsy' coloured in distress inks with a sepia tint applied on top, sepia and crackle accents, grungeboard elements-wings (tim holtz), adage ticket (tim holtz), distress inks in vintage photo, old paper, tea dye, brushed corduroy, faded jeans, papermania regency paperpad, papermania simply elegant paper, page from old book, distressing tool, sanding files, core'dinations cardstock, lace, button and pin from stash, and raffia

Thanks so much for stopping by, and any comments you may leave, they make my day! See yas tomorrow!

Sweetie colours for 2 challenges

Hello lovely bloggers, hope you've all had a nice day, despite the weather. I've done this card for 2 challenges, using the sketch at Double Dutch which is fab and over at Allsorts their theme is sweets and these colours are very like sweeties I think. I love this Leanne Ellis stamp from Sugar Nellie, its very cute don't you think, makes me smile anyways. Another ideal image for a get well card. 

Materials: Leanne Ellis stamp by Sugar Nellie, core'dinations cardstock, Papermania signature papers, BoBunny ribbon, any other bits are from stash.

I ordered some nesties today! Wohoooo! Have been wittering on about getting some to Ian (hubby) for a while:) In the end I chose the ovals, circles (both with the scallops to match) and labels 1 (I think it was 1 I decided on in the end but could have been 3 hehe). Am hoping they'll come by Thursday as I have a day to myself as Leo is going with my mum to my sisters houseso I can have a little break (can't wait!).

Am going to pop off now, thanks for stopping by:)
