Wish upon a Star

Good morning,

Well, both my girlies have been in Zante together since Tuesday and I can't believe how quiet it's been without them! I grumble at all the noise when they are both in, but I sure have missed them both. They will be back next Tuesday evening, so I'm looking forward to hearing about all their adventures (well, maybe not all of them!) Lol.

Over at Fantasy Stampers today we see the start of the next challenge and the new theme is

'WISH UPON A STAR'

So we are looking for any of your project using stars - here's what I created for my DT inspiration ...

Think I went a bit overboard with the stars - but you get the idea!

The backing papers, stamped image and sentiment are all LOTV. The stamp is aptly called 'Wish upon a Star' and is coloured with my Promarkers (and a little added glitter sparkle). The 'Wish' letters are cut using an old Sizzix alphabet die, then added to my card. 

Why not pop over to the challenge blog HERE and check out some more fab inspiration from my design team.

Fantasy Stampers - Challenge 4

Hello crafters,

I can't believe we are about to start our fourth theme over at my new challenge blog

FANTASY STAMPERS

That means it's been six weeks since our launch and we have had a fabulous response - thank you for all your support and messages of encouragement, they mean a lot.

So, here we go with details of our fourth challenge and this time our theme is

All you have to do is use the bingo board below and choose a line - either horizontal, vertical or diagonal - then use those items in your project. Remember you MUST also include some stamping to be eligible for our Top 3.

Here's what I made for my DT inspiration using the top line - Pink, Pearls and Lace ...

I used a couple of pink design papers from my stash to layer up before adding my stamped image - Fizzy Moon 'Wish upon a Star', which is coloured with my Promarkers and I paper pieced the star. I used white lace down the right hand side and a lacy doily underneath the stamped image.  The 'Baby' lettering is stamped and mounted on little die-cut tags; the 'Girl' lettering is stamped with my Clarity Letterbox stamps and mounted on pink squares.  I also added three flowers which have little pearl centres and three extra little pearls accents on the bottom left corner. Hope you like it.

Why not pop along to the main blog HERE and check out the amazing work of my design team. I look forward to visiting your blogs over the next couple of weeks.

A New Baby

Wow! Where did the weekend go? Can't say that I like a two day weekend - looking forward to my normal days next week, with my usual three day crafty weekend.  It's been a busy one this time too, hence no post yesterday - sorry.

I have a new baby card to show you tonight - I made it for a friend of my daughter who, after a very difficult pregnancy, has just given birth to a healthy little baby boy.  They are both doing well and my daughter is over the moon after being asked to be baby's god mother!  Here's what I made ...

Back to my 8x8" workspace on this one - I do like the extra space it gives me to play.  Papers are mainly Polkadoodles, with a scrap or two from my stash.  The image is 'Fizzy Moon - Wish upon a Star', coloured with my Promarkers.  The sentiment is LOTV and the bunting is hand made and stamped with some of my alphabet stamps. Embellishments include a couple of stamped stars and some blue candi - no adhesive gems or pearls this time - are you shocked!! Lol.

If you would like any other information, give me a shout.  

Have a good week everyone.
