Sweet Sunday Sketch #170

Happy Sunday! It's time for another fun Sweet Sunday Sketch. Hope you'll find some time to join us.

Here's my card for today's challenge:-

And here is the sketch for you to play along with:-

I decided to be brave today and use a couple of colours that are not really in my 'GO TO' pile. Now, while Primrose Petals is not one of those... because it's PINK and I LOVE it... Summer Starfruit, frightens the beejeebees out of me, and Midnight Muse, well I like it, but I'm not usually a dark blue kinda girl. I know!!.. SHOCK right!!??
Anyhoo.. I used them, BOTH!!, and I think I did OK!. Although I must admit that Blogger has made the colours look a bit funky.

I also used my Summer Silhouettes stamp set and some of the In-Colors ribbon in Primrose Petals.

Sweet Sunday Sketch #169

Happy Sunday!!!. I'm going to be quick today... Blogger seems to be playing games with me today...!! AND my keyboard just died... it's ok.. just  needed a battery replacement.. but you get the point!!!

Sooo.. here's my card for today's sketch:-

And here is the FUN sketch, for you to play along with:-

I REALLY loved this sketch!! Fun and Simple to work with.. LOVE!!!

I actually used a card that my very lovely friend Sarah made one night when we were having one of our "Play Nights".. you know, those fun, stampin' Play Nights!!.. LOVE those. Anyhoo.. she created this AMAZING card right there in front of me, AND I had to pretty much COPY it straight away... So for this card I used the part I blatantly copied from the lovely Sarah (that part being the stamped image) and added it to the gorgeous sketch blatantly copied from the gorgeous Karen and VOILA... my card for this week!! :D

The stamp set I used is.....Lacy and Lovely (it's LOVELY indeed and NOW I need to have it ;-) ) and the sentiment is from my new Sweet Essentials. The colours are Soft Suede, Primrose Petals and Crumb Cake. I've also used my Adorning Accents Embossing Folder and some lovely Pearls.

Peek-a-baby

Hello!!! Please, do not fall off your chair!!.. Two posts in two days... AMAZING!!!

I made a little card and gift tag for a beautiful friend who recently had a gorgeous baby girl. Due to all kinds of nasty bugs that infiltrated the Kalé abode and its residents, I've only just yesterday, been able to meet said GORGEOUS GIRL, and I must admit to hogging her all afternoon while I snuggled and sniffed in her gorgeousness :D

Here is the card and gift tag I made:-

I used the BEAUTIFUL Happy You (Hostess) Set, which I have to admit to being a BIG bit in love with. It's such a sweet set and once coloured in, SOOOOOO cute!!!

The colours I used were Crumb Cake, Primrose Petals, Pink Pirouette and a touch of Gumball Green for the Cardstock. For colouring I used my Aqua Painter, Watercolour Paper and Pink Pirouette, Primrose Petals, Raspberry Ripple and Gumball Green Ink.

I'm SO happy with how it turned out. Can't wait to sit down and play some more with this gorgeous set.

The other goodies I used to create the card and tag are, my Big Shot, the Perfect Pennants Die, Perfect Polka Dots Embossing Folder, Circle #2 Die (although I did have to cut the Gumball Green circle down a tad),Adorning Accents Edgelits and embossing folder,  and my 1 3/4" Circle Punch.

I hope you like this little creation.

Thanks for stopping by.

Sweet Sunday Sketch #168

Happy Sunday! It's time for another Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge, I hope you'll find some time to join in the fun!

Today I've made a VERY special birthday card for my Grandmother (Dinan). She is going to be 90 soon, and it's pretty safe to assume she won't be blog surfing, nor will she come on over to my blog for a looksie ;-)

Here is my card for this weeks challenge:-

And here is the sketch for you to play along with:-

I've been wanting to use my Memorable Moments stamp set since returning from the SU! Convention in Canberra, back in June!!! Yep.... it's been that long, and I'm sad to admit, this delightful set has sat unopened and unmounted all that time. It really is a fun and VERY versatile set, can't wait to play with it again.

The colour combo I used was based around the Twitterpated DSP. Can I just say HOW EXCITED I was to see that it had been carried over into this years SU! Cattie!!.. VERY EXCITED!! Right... back to the colour combo, Baja Breeze, Pink Pirouette, Basic Grey, and Cherry Cobbler, with some Whisper White card stock also.

Sweet Sunday Sketch #167

Hello!!! Right!!... Straight into it today.. I'm LATE!! and I'm in BIGGGGGGG trouble from my SSSC boss ;-).

Today is a very special day for a VERY special little girl and my card is just for her :D. Actually, this might just save me from my above mentioned BIIIIGGGGGGG trouble ;-). Happy Birthday sweet Katie!!! We hope your day is AMAZING.

Here is Miss Katie's birthday card, and of course my card for today's Sweet Sunday Sketch:-

And here is the sketch for you to play along with:-

 

I've used Katie's favourtie colours Pink and Purple. That right there is why Miss Katie and my Miss Ella were INSTANT friends when they met :D... I'm sure of it.. hehehe.

I've used lots of SPARKLE and of course added a BIG PURPLE (ie Razzleberry) 5!!

SU! Heartfelt Event {Perth}

Hello!!!..Please don't fall off your seat when you see this pop up into your Readers!!! It would appear I've been a little hiatus ;-).

Last week I got to attend Stampin' Up!'s Heartfelt Event in Perth. It was such a FUN day... picture 200+ women all gathered together, to create, be inspired, share and pretty much just BE!!

I was lucky enough (and I'm still in shock!) to be asked to prepare some samples for the Product Playground, using new stock from the NEW catalogue, and thought I'd share those with you today.

I didn't get the chance, due to a few personal issues, to get as many samples made as I had hoped, but was pretty pleased with what I managed to come up with after a few tussles with the NEW Watercolour Winter stamp set (we didn't see eye to eye for a while there ;-) ). Watercolour Winter is available in the NEW Seasonal Catalogue. SOOOOO much NEW stuff to look at!!!

So here are my samples:-

This first set I've made a matching card and gift tag. The colour combo I went with is Crumb Cake and Primrose Petals (one of the NEW In Colors), I also used some NEW Gumball Green Ribbon and the NEW Bitty Banners Framelits on the card. I coloured my Rhinestone Jewels with my SU! Markers, so add a little colour.

 

This is a little Gift Box I made and I filled it with little Gift Tags. The set I used for this was Christmas Wishes and it's in the Holiday Catalogue as a Hostess Stamp Set. The little Santa was covered in Dazzling Diamonds, although that's not showing up so well in the photo. The Little To/From tags are from the same set and I've just cut the tags out using the Bitty Banners Framelits.

 

I do have one other sample to show you, but Blogger is misbehaving and I can't seem to get it to upload. (I'm not sure how I managed to get these two up yet, but when I figure it out, I'll be right onto it!)

 

Thanks so much for stopping by. If there is any more information you'd like about these projects, please, just leave me a comment or send me an email and I'll get back to you.

Sweet Sunday Sketch #165

Happy Sunday!!! I hope you've had an awesome week and are ready to join us for another fun Sweet Sunday Sketch.

It's been a weird week here, and a BUSY week, actually it's going to be a BUSY month. My little girls are quite the social butterflies and have a month 'rammed' with birthday parties, so today's card is for her sweet handsome little friend who is celebrating his 'Pirate' Party today.

Here is his little card, and of course my card for this weeks sketch:-

And here is the fun sketch for you to play along with:-

 Anyone who knows me,( actually probably EVERYONE), knows that I struggle and I mean REALLY struggle when it comes to creating 'BOY' cards. I think it's the lack of Pink on them.. haha. So I'm actually kinda chuffed that this one turned out, somewhat how I'd actually pictured it in my mind (another reality that rarely comes to fruition.. haha).

I've used a colour combo of Pacific Point (scary), Real Red (doable), Baja Breeze (EASY) and Crumb Cake (REALLY EASY). I also finally got to use my Textured Impressions Stripes Embossing Folder, see it there on the Baja Breeze panel :D and I made a sweet little Pirate Owl, using my Owl Punch. I stamped the image from my Happiest Birthday Wishes stamp set and used my Baja Breeze, Pacific Point and Real Red Markers to colour it. Some buttons and a dash of Bakers Twine and it's pretty much done. AND, there is absolutely NO Pink, NO Glitter and NO ribbon!!! I know!!.. I may need a moment to recover! ;-)
