Hello!! Another quick one today. If you can picture this.... I've currently got my Beautiful Jorja sitting on my lap whilst typing and she is trying to hit any and every button on the keyboard, play with my stamps and draw all over anything that is in her vision!!!! . Anyway.. I REALLY wanted to have a play at Karen's Sweet Sunday Sketch, and although I've literally got a million things to get done, I just couldn't resist.
So here is the sketch for the week:- And here is my super quick card.
I hope you like.
Sorry it's so short, but I best be going before TORNADO JORJA destroys everything... hahaha.
Here's what I used:-
Stamps:- Cause for Celebration (Hostess), Yummy (Sale-a-Bration) Card:- Sage Shadow, Whisper White, Pretty in Pink, Spring Fling DSP Ink:- Sage Shadow, Pretty In Pink Accessories:- Glue Dots, Dimensionals, Soft Subtle Buttons, Scallop Edge Punch, Pretty in Pink Grosgrain.
Just a quick one tonight...I've been soooooo busy, with Baby Shower invites to make, Christening Invites to make, numerous Birthday Cards, Challenges, Swaps and Thankyou cards AND a Stamp-a-Stack to prepare for.... GOSH...I'm starting to hyperventilate!!!! OK Deep Breath!!!
The reason for this quick post is to pop up my entry for Shelli Gardner's - So Shelli Creative Challenge. This months challenge is SPRING themed and what better colours for a Spring Theme than of course PINK and GREEN.
You may have seen this Scrap Page before on my Blog, but I'm going to put it on again just for this challenge... Hope you like it!!!
The picture is of my Darling Ella... isn't she just beautiful... yes I most definately am BIASED!!! I've use the Simply Scrappin' Kit - Crew Kid Girls with all of it's gorgeous Regal Rose and Wild Wasabi Colours...mmmm delicious.... and it matches her little outfit perfectly.
Sorry it's so short, but I must dash and continue marking things off my HUGE to do list.
WOW! WOW! and more WOW!!! The retirment list stock is disappearing FAST, FAST, FAST. Here is an updated list of what is now unavailable and what is low in quantity. PLEASE don't miss out on getting some of your favourite goodies. Email me TODAY... to place your order. Keep checking back for updates.... I'll keep posting this list as SU! update it, so that you all know what is unavailable.
My goodness.... I'm back with another Sketch Challenge completed. This time it is from the very lovely and talented Keesh.
I'm so glad I managed to get this card done... It actually has two purposes, one is it's for the Challenge and the other is it is going to my GORGEOUS Girlfriend for her Birthday.
You'll also be amazed, because this card just like the previous card I posted has NOT ONE trace of pink on it... I know!!!! What on earth is going on in the Kalé household at the moment. All these cards and NO pink...never fear it will be rectified... starting tomorrow I think I'm going on a PINK binge... beware!!!!
OK enough of the waffle let me show you the sketch that Keesh gave us to work with:-
And here is the card I came up with:-
I've used some more retiring products... such as Blue Bayou for the base and the next layer of some Falls Flowers DSP, then I've added another layer of Blue Bayou and Soft Sky and then another of Blue Bayou and the reverse side of the Falls Flowers DSP and added a dash of Soft Sky Double Stitched Ribbon. The top layer is Blue Bayou and Whisper White and to that I've made a large circle using my Round Tab Punch in Blue Bayou (mmm lots of Blue Bayou on this card isn't there??), and a scallop in Soft Sky then I punched a circle in Whisper White after I'd stamped some flowers from the Live your Dreams set. I stamped the butterfly in YEP Blue Bayou, but I stamped it off three times to get a lighter shade and propped it up on a dimensional. Oh and lets not forget the Dazzling Diamonds I added to the flowers. The sentiment is from Short and Sweet and is BLUE BAYOU and the two butterflies above it are in Blue Bayou (GOSH!!) and Old Olive. And one last thing I used my paper piercer to add some little holes at the top.
So there you go my Blue Bayou card!!!!
Hope you like.

Here's what I used:-
Stamps:- Live Your Dreams, Short and SweetPaper:- Blue Bayou, Soft Sky, Whisper White, Falls Flowers DSPInk:- Blue Bayou, Old Olive, Soft SkyAccessories:- Round Tab Punch, Scallop Punch, Circle Punch, Dimensionals, Dazzling Diamonds, 2-way Glue Pen, Soft Sky Double Stitched Ribbon, Paper Piercer and Mat.
I LOVE participating in Karen's Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenges. I guess I like the 'safeness' of having a sketch to work with (you can't really go wrong with a sketch), but the freedom to come up with your very own creation, and it allows you to try things that you quite possibly wouldn't normally try. So, having said all of that, here is the Sketch that Karen had for us this week.
And here is the card I created:-
I'm giving my current In-Colours one last hoorah!!!.. I figure I best be using them up now while I still can, I sure am going to miss them when they've gone!!!! Might have to keep a few bits and pieces as a momento...LOL!!
I've started with a base of Really Rust and then added a layer of River Rock and then some Apple Cider DSP (now retired). I then added a square of Really Rust which I attacked, well ok I didn't really attack it, but I did use my Scallop Edge Punch on it!!! and then added another piece of DSP from the Apple Cider Pack, this time River Rock Polka Dots, to that another strip of Really Rust and some Wild Wasabi Double Stitched Ribbon. To make the centre piece I've used a piece of Wild Wasabi paper, again from the Apple Cider which I cut out using my scallop punch then added a circle of Really Rust and one of the flowers from the recently finished Sale-a-bration set Polka Dot Punches. The little piece in the middle I cut from a piece of DSP (yep Apple Cider) and added a Brad from the soon to be retired Pewter Hodgepodge Hardware. The sentiment is from my also soon to be retired hostess set 'So Many Sayings'.
Now... there are a lot of retiring products on this little card, sooooo if there is anything on here that you would love to have before they disappear for good, then please email me to place an order.
Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you like my card. Don't forget to leave a comment to let me know!!!
