Today it is Chantelle's turn to host the challenge and she's added an extra little twist to the fabulous sketch.. that twist... POLKA DOTS!!! Ooohhh... I do LOVE polka dots!!!!

So here is my card:-


And here is the Sketch:-


I've used Brilliant Blue, Wild Wasabi, Kraft, Pumpkin Pie and Whisper White, a colour combo I might add I generally don't use.. why?.. well because there isn't any PINK!!! hahaha. But I needed a BLOKEY kinda card.. and well these colours seem to fit that!!! Right?

The stamp set I used is one of my faves... Party Hearty and I added a little ribbon and some Hodgepodge just to finish it off. You all know that if there is a way to include ribbon on ANY card.. I'll DO IT!!! hahaha.

Sweet Sunday Sketch #78

Happy Sunday!!! It's time of course for another FABULOUS sketch from the gorgeous Karen.

This weeks sketch was GORGOEUS.. although I will admit to OVERTHINKING it a little which in turn ended up driving me insane, because I has SOOOO many ideas floating around in my head.. hahaha .. Anyone else do that?

Soooo.. here is my card for this weeks sketch:-


And here is the fabulous sketch:-


I've used Pink Pirouette, So Saffron, Baja Breeze and Chocolate Chip as my colour combo. First up the base of the card is Pink Pirouette and to that I've added some So Saffron DSP from my Sweet Pea DSP pack then some GORGEOUS Wide Pink Pirouette Ribbon. The square layers are Baja Breeze and Baja Breeze DSP then Choc Chip with some Whisper White. The sweet little cupcake is from my Party Hearty set (gees that set is seeing a LOT of ink lately.. hahaha) and the sentiment is from my Life Definitions set.. I couldn't resist colour the "tickled pink" bit in in PINK!!! hahaha
For the little embellishment frenzy in the corner I made a little banner from the Party Hats in the Party Hearty set.
The jury is still out on this one.. I can't seem to figure out what it is missing..... I'm guessing that if I stare at it for long enough the solution will come to me in the form of a MAJOR head slap OR I'll just decide that I do like it and leave it be. I do have someone in mind as the recipient for this one, but it will all depend on whether I can figure out if I really like it (the card.. not the person.. bwhahaha) or not.

Karen has got a GORGEOUS sketch for us today, so I hope you'll all get to play along.

Each month the amazing Shell comes up with a variety of challenges.. mainly Scrapping.. and let me tell you there are some AMAZING ladies over there... creating the most BEAUTIFUL work!!! But, she also decided to add in a Card Challenge.. so each month I create a card which is posted as the sample and then at the end of the month one lucky person WINS the card I create. FUN.. Right?

Yes.. I know it's VERY late to be posting a card for a challenge which started some 23 days ago.. oops SORRY!!! But I figured it's better late than never.. hahaha.

Sooooo... here be said card in all it's LATE glory!!! hahaha


And here is a look at the sketch used for this months challenge.. it's from PageMaps... FUN.. isn't it???


I'm actually really pleased with how this turned out. Actually this is THE card that started my FAUX Suede craze.. and I assure you it hasn't ended.. I'm currently working on another card that will have .. YEP.. more Fauxness!!! hahaha

Sweet Sunday Sketch #72

It's SUNDAY!!! Which means it's time for one of my VERY FAVOURITE things.... Sweet Sunday Sketch!!!

Once again, Karen has come up with another fabulous sketch to play with and here is my card:-


Here is Karen's sketch:-


As mention in my previous post, I've been on somewhat of a Faux Suede expedition... and this card has not ONE but TWO lots of it. ... I know... I couldn't help myself.

I've used Baja Breeze, Choc Chip, Naturals Ivory and Kraft as my Colour Combo. Starting with Baja Breeze, I then added a layer of Choc chip and some Baja Breeze DSP. The two panels on top are Choc Chip and Kraft, both of which were attacked quite ferociously with my Bone Folder to create the Suede look. I then added one of my Sizzlets Lots of Tags... Label.. I have quite the little stash of these after creating my Convention Swaps... so thought I'd use one of them here.. hahaha.. and that's been sponged with some Choc Ink to soften it up a little bit. The stamp set I used is Party Heart and I've also added a little bit of paper piercing around the two panels.

I think this needed a little something else, but after fiddling with it too much and not like what I did and then having to re-attach the Choc Chip panel, I decided to leave it be. hahaha

Inkspiration Challenge #26

Happy Friday!!! Hope you've had a lovely week and for those of us in Western Australia.. you're looking forward to a LONG weekend... YAY... gotta love a LONG weekend!!!

It's time of course for another Inkspiration Challenge and today we've got a COLOUR challenge for you.

Here's my card for today:-


And here's the colour sample for you to play along with:-


OK... so don't PANIC about all the Neutral colours here... I PROMISE you can get them to work. Have fun with it... and don't forget to link your creation over at Keesh's blog so we can all see what you've come up with.. I'm really looking forward to seeing all the creations with this combo!!!

I've started out with a base of Kraft and added some Whisper White as a panel with some Basic Grey DSP and some more Kraft which I attacked with my Bone Folder to create a Faux Suede look. ( Stay tuned for some more FAUX SUEDE creations... I've kinda gone on a little crazy escapade with it and created about THREE creations... I'll give it a little break after this week I Promise!! hahaha)
But.. back to the faux suede.. I do LOVE how it gives you another form of texture to your card, whilst keeping it kinda soft in the process. I've also used some of my Real Red Polka Dot ribbon, which I've flipped over to the plain side and my Sizzlets Lots of Tags to create my little centre piece. The stamp set is Party Hearty and I've also added a few little Real Red Buttons on either side.

Inkspiration Sketch Challenge #16

It's Friday...ALREADY!!!!! I was thinking that after the Mad Hatter's Hen's Party, my weeks might slow down a wee bit... NOPE... I think they're about to get a whole lot busier. I've got to get ALL of my Chrissy shopping done, plus Jorja's 3rd Birthday party organised before we go to Hamilton Island in a couple of weeks, add to that numerous Bridesmaid dress fittings...ooooh la la!!!! BUT..... at least I can still sit down and make some cards... I like to call THAT time, my SANITY time!!! hahaha.

This week Keesh has got a fun Sketch for us... and you all know I LOVE a sketch.

Here is my card for this week:-


And here is the Sketch:-



I think I was VERY brave this week using one of my SCARIEST colours.... Pacific Point, and not just a little bit of it, a whole BIG bit of it!!!! oooohhh. My friends little boy is having a birthday next week, so I thought I'd use Keesh's sketch to make his card, and overcome my Pacific Point fear at the same time.

So I've started with Pacific Point then given I'm terrified of said colour, thought I may as well add a little bit more in the form of some DSP from my Good Morning Sunshine pack. Oh and some excitement... I finally got to use my BRAND NEW Circle Scissors.... yes.. I've been busily cutting out circles of all sizes, for no other reason than "because I can" hahaha. So using said NEW toy, I cut out another piece of DSP from Good Morning Sunshine, then to that added a Choc Chip Circle and a Kiwi Kiss circle (oh this one I used my NEW 1¾" circle punch)...more excitement!!! I've used my Party Hearty stamp set for this card, stamping the Celebrate You image in Kiwi Kiss then adding a Choc Chip button with some linen thread to the centre. I then inked up the Hat stamp from the same set in Choc Chip, Summer SUn and Pacific Point.

I've used two different sizes of Choc Chip ribbon for the "stripes" on the sketch and added a little piece of Hodgepodge.

sweet sunday sketch #43

Happy Sunday!!!! I'm SOOOOOO glad it's Sunday... and particularly more excited this Sunday than most... WHY I hear you ask.... well not only is it Sweet Sunday Sketch time, BUT, my GORGEOUS hubby is finally back home after being away for 10days.... YAY!!!!!! I would have to say this is the longest stint he has ever been away.... I'm thinking he shouldn't do it again.. hahaha.

Anyhoo..... onto the reason you are here... Sweet Sunday Sketch!!! Karen set us a "doozy" this week... well ok, probably not for you all, but for me.... GOODNESS... I think I had about 5 attempts at this one (all of which ended up in the bin) before I came up with the one I'm about to show you!!! You're probably wondering why I had so much trouble.... well.... there is indeed a CROOKED panel on this here sketch.... my Right Angled, nice and straight card making brain went into serious panic mode... don't worry though it didn't last too long!!! hahaha. (Love Ya Karen - *waving* and *smiling*!! hahaha)

Onto the card:-


And here is Karen's tricky sketch (go on laugh at me, you know you want to... it's not that bad ... Right?... hahaha:-


I decided to keep it nice and simple given my current aversion to anything that isn't straight... perhaps I should play around with this one a little more and overcome my FEAR!!!
Sooooo...I started out with a base of Kraft card stock and added some Brilliant Blue DSP from my retired Jersy Shore pack then added a little bit of Bashful Blue Ribbon and a Brilliant Blue button... I am getting through my button collection!!!! I decided to use the hat stamp from Party Hearty and used my markers to colour them all in. I popped that onto a piece of Pumpkin Pie and distressed the edges a wee bit. So now I've actually tackled to fears in one card... A crooked card AND a BOYS card... YAY!!!!

Hello There!!! Hope you have been enjoying your weekend. What GLORIOUS weather we've been having here in Perth... LOVE IT!!!! The lovely Karen has set a FUN sketch so be sure to play along.

Here is my card:-


And here is our FUN sketch:-


I started out with some Kraft cardstock then layered it with some Riding Hood Red DSP. I pulled out my Party Hearty set this week I thought the images in it were PERFECT for the little circles then added some little {heart} flowers using my Cheep Talk set. The colours I used were Pink Pirouette, Choc Chip, Riding Hood Red and Kiwi Kiss. Then I added a strip of Kiwi Kiss and some Riding Hood Red Tafetta Ribbon to finish it off. The sentiment is stamped in Choc Chip and is also from Party Hearty.

Sweet Sunday Sketch #38 and a Raspberry Suite Colour Inspiration

Happy Sunday Everyone!!!! We've had a BUSY, BUSY week this week. My precious Ella turned one yesterday. Who would've thought planning a 1st birthday is soooo time consuming!!! Or perhaps it's just me and my Obsessive Compulsive behaviour!!! ... hmmmm could be that... hahaha.

I'm hoping today is going to be nice and relaxing... Ella has about a hundred (ok slight exageration!! haha) new toys to muddle her way through, with I might add the added enthusiasm of her older sister Jorja (almost 3), who thinks all her Christmases have come at once with such an influx of new goodies!!! And Shane and I, well I think a day of doing NOTHING is in order!!!

Anyhoo... the reason your here is to see what WONDERFUL sketch the lovely Karen has set for us to play along with this week. I've actually got TWO projects to show you today using Karen's sketch, one a Scrap page of Ella ( I made 13 pages to put up for her party, one for each month, which I'll post during the week), and thought I'd use Karen's sketch for the layout JUST incase I didn't get the opportunity to sit down and make a card. BUT... I've managed to sneak a bit of time and get one done too, and I'm so glad I did.

So first up the Scrap Page of Ella:-



And, now my card:-


And last but not least the fabulous sketch:-


I used my Simply Scrappin' Kit - Rock-a-Bye Girl Pack to make all of the pages for Ella's scrapbook, for this page I started with a Bashful Blue base and added some Pink Pirouette DSP and one of the Sticker embelishments in Kiwi Kiss. I layered her GORGEOUS photo (she is GORGEOUS isn't she... YES I am VERY biased!!... LOL) onto some Regal Rose before added the 11month sticker, some Regal Rose Ribbon and a little heart sticker.

For my card I used Dawn's Raspberry Suite Colour Challenge Colours of Kraft, Choc Chip, Red, Turquoise (Aqua) and Vanilla.
I used some Tempting Turquoise DSP mounted onto a piece of Choc Chip and stamped my image from my Party Hearty set in Choc Chip adding a Turquoise star to the centre and a Real Red hat which I stamped twice and mounted one on top of the other. Some Choc Chip grosgrain finished it off. Quite a simple card, but I'm really happy how it turned out.

Sweet Sunday Sketch #26

Sweet Sunday Sketch time again over at the lovely Karen's Blog... pop on over and say hi, and why not have a go at the GORGEOUS Sketch Challenge.

I've used the colour combo from the Colour Throwdown this week which was Real Red, Tempting Turquoise and Kiwi Kiss and my newbie... Party Hearty stamp set to create my little card which is also going to be the birthday card for my GORGEOUS Godson Jack!!!!

Here's my creation:-


Here's Karen's fab sketch:-


I started with a base of Real Red then added some Cool Caribbean (sorry.... still don't have my Tempting Turquoise replenished!!!!), then another layer of Real Red and Whisper White which I stamped the Party Hats from Party Hearty onto in Real Red, Tempting Turquoise (yep.. I've got the ink, just not the paper!!!!) and Kiwi Kiss.

I added some Tempting Turquoise ribbon and because little Jack is only THREE he's not going to mind in the slightest that Aunty Sar put a bow on his card... hahahah. Then I added some Real Red buttons on the bottom.

Pretty simple, but kinda cute I think.

Hope you like.

Thanks for stopping by.

An {Inkspiration} Inspiration Challenge #9

Hello There!!!! I've been wanting to sit down and make a card for Keesh's Inkspiration Inspiration Challenge all week (That's actually quite a mouthful isn't it!!!! hahahaha), and I've finally managed to do so.

This weeks Keesh set an Inspiration challenge, and let me tell you... It was quite a toughy too... well for me anyway. I sat and looked at the Inspiration piccy for ages, and ages, and AGES and in the end I finally managed to come up with something:-


Here is the picture we had as our inspiration piece:-


It's a lovely picture, but I just couldn't figure out what to use and how to go about getting started. The more I looked at the picture though the more my eyes kept getting drawn toward the 'Chair' at the back of the picture and the circles in it's backrest... I know WIERD huh!!!! So that's where I started. I grabbed my Circle Circus set and stamped a background piece in Choc Chip Ink onto some Kraft cardstock, I then layered that with some Choc Chip and whisper White onto my base layer of Pink Pirouette. Then I used my NEW 'Party Hearty' set and stamped me a cupcake with Choc Chip and Pink Pirouette and added a little Choc Chip flower from my Felt Fusions Too tin. The sentiment is in Choc Chip and is from Party Heart too. Then I added a bow in some yummy Pink Pirouette ribbon and that's pretty much it.

I think I've just scraped in, in the nick of time with this one... Sorry Keesh!!!!

Hope you like. And hopefully I'll be back soon with some more MOJO and more cards to show you.

Thanks for stopping by.

Here's what I used:-

Stamps:- Circle Circus, Party Hearty

Sweet Sunday Sketch #24

Sweet Sunday Sketch time again!!!!! Yippee!!!! Karen has set yet another lovely sketch for us to work with this week.

The second I saw it I knew I could create something quick and simple.... always a good thing isn't it.
I also wanted to break out my brand spankin' new 'Party Hearty' set, soooo that I did.

Here is the card I came up with:-


Here is Karen's lovely Sketch:-


I used Chocolate Chip as the base... who doesn't LOVE chocolate for their birthday.... huh?
Then used some of my Au Chocolat DSP (retired), I then added some Riding Hood Red DSP and some Choc Chip Grosgrain. The large circle is made by using my Round Tab Punch and I stamped the Celebrate You stamp in Choc Chip onto some Very Vanilla card, added a circle of Riding Hood Red and then the little pressie stamp in Choc Chip to the centre. And that's pretty much it. I told you it was a quick one, and I reckon it could be used for a 'BOYS' card too. What do you think.

Hope you like it, and thanks for stopping by.
