Up on the rooftops!

Our July challenge over at

STAMPING SENSATIONS

is anything goes with the option of Christmas.

We have some lovely prizes up for grabs too

so please come and join us with your beautiful creations.

I had a good hunt through my stamp sets and came across

a Creative Expressions stamp called above the roof tops.

So I stamped and clear embossed the image in the middle of my card.

I ink blended the sky, masking off a circle for the moon.

I coloured the moon then decided to add some rays which

ended up making it look like the sun 😎 but there was

no going back at this stage lol.

So I splattered some chalk paint for snow.

At the bottom I inked some snow hills and then stamped my sentiment.

Cup of cheer!

I was putting my Son's birthday present together and thought it

needed a little birthday card inside there too.

So I followed a sketch for this card and used the matching

papers, stamps and dies.

It did fit inside perfectly along with the gift holder!

You can watch my tutorial for the box card here

Christmas Mini Album

Tis the season??

I know a bit early even for me but this was the next paper pack leftovers

that was on my to 'use up' list.

 

I spent a bit of time sorting out what sizes each piece was and embellishments

I could use, before getting down to the size of the book.

This one is 3 1/2" x 3 1/2" and has lots of fold outs and pockets.

Again I went with the snap button closure as it is really

strong for these little books.

Flower wreath tag

It's the second week of my challenge theme FLOWERS over at

Tag Tuesday.

This time I stamped one flower spray from Country Birdhouse set six times.

They were coloured and die cut then I arranged them

around a die cut circle to which I stamped my sentiment.

I finished the flowers with some pearls

and a piece of matching ribbon.

I hope you can join us this week.

So I have a question for you all. 

When linking your post to a certain challenge blog

do you click on the challenge blog post for the link or

do you just copy the challenge link itself?

Apparently I have been doing it wrong all these years by just adding

the link of the challenge blog and not that particular post 😒

I had my wrist slapped twice today lol. So now I am clicking on the challenge

post first for every single one I enter.
