Team Challenge

This weeks challenge was to make a card with only Stampin' around wheels, and a sentiment stamp, Thank's to Kathy for setting this weeks challenge, I really enjoyed it.

I made this card for my Daughter, she is a book a holic (I think that's what you call someone who read's all day and night), she quickly removed the book mark and stuck it in her book.

I used Lavender lace, almost amethyst, barely banana and whisper white card, So saffron ribbon, Versamark ink heat and stick powder and Stampin' Up!'s Silver glitter, these glitters really have to be seen to be appreciated Photo's never do them justice.

The Stamp I used was from Occasional Greetings and the wheel is called Forever flower's.

Two cute box

This is the box I made to hold the braclet I mad, I used Taken with teal, So Saffron and whisper white card, So saffron grosgrain ribbon ( free from Stampin' Up! a while back).
The stamps I used were retired Two Cute and Retired hostess set Best yet.

My first try at jewellery making

Today is my oldest daughters 12th birthday so I wanted to give her a special present this is what I managed to come up with and luckily I know she'll love it as she saw me making it she kept saying ohh Pretty, my next job is to make the box for it to go in, so keep coming back the box should be on here in the next couple of days.

Team challenge #3

This weeks team challenge was to make a new baby card in 1 hour using stamps not in the current Stampin' Up! catalogue. Thanks Steph for this challenge I love it it only took a few minutes to make mine after I messed up 3 times, my brain just couldn't tell my hands what to do at first.

I used whisper white and Bashful blue card, bashfull blue ink and striped grosgrain ribbon.
The stamp sets were retired bundle of joy and last year's sale-a-bration set congrats.

Honey they've shrunk the chickens

Is it my imagination or are large rotiserie chicken's getting smaller?

There was a time when 1 was enough to feed my whole family and there would be some left for the cats but now we need 2 and the cats are lucky if there's any left for them, now I know my family has grown but tell me if you think I'm wrong, I've photoed them next to some parsnip which frighteningly are almost as big as the chickens lol.

Team challenge#2

O.K Abi asked me to set the team challenge this week, I had a little think it's not easy setting a challenge especially as it's a limited time challenge and I'm not the fastest crafter, I decided it should be alternative christmas so a christmas with out the traditional colours of Red, Green or Gold.

I should have matched the swirls up but didn't think about that when I was making it, I'll know better for next time.

I used Acetate basic black and whisper white card, black and white stazon versamark and heat and stick powder and dazzling diamonds and Black glitter from fine galaxy glitter pack you really have to see these glitters irl they are stunning, the stamp set I used was season of joy, I love this set it's my favourite christmas set from last years Stampin' Up! catalogue I was so glad when it wasn't retired, also it was the first set I got to play with when my stampin mum came the 2 hour drive to my house to do a party for me =D, Almost forgot I used a light box and embossing tool to emboss the edge of the Black and white card.

Team Challenge

We decided to have a team challenge limited time to just over an hour and limited supply to

• 1 Ribbon
  
• 2 colours
• 3 layers
• 1 image

I hope this is keeping within the challenge guideline's I decided it would be a card for my sister's birthday which is tomorrow I'll have to email her a link.

I choose very vanilla and bashful blue for this challenge and coloured ribbon using bashful blue ink, I also used versamark, clear embossing powder a sponge dauber and occasional greeting happy birthday stamp and Stampin' Up! hostess set level 2 set whimsical wings.

I used the Emboss resist tecnique found here for the bird image.

This challenge was choose at the last minute by Abi my stampin Mum.
