Driving along...


This card is for a friend to give to her daughter-in-law.
The lady just got a new card so she wanted to
see that on the card.
I'm sure it's not a sports card but it is grey lol.

I have created a scene using Nitwits papers called
Bumbleberry Cottage and Beep Beep.
The image is from Bugaboo and has been
coloured with markers, fussy cut and put on
the road in my little scene.

We are in the middle of getting our ensuite renovated this week
which I am super happy about as it's
a real shipwreck at the minute lol.
Have a great weekend.

The cats and quotes came from a Nitwits download
called Catitude.

Embellishments used
pompoms, lace, brads, charms, tulle,
wool, laminator and elastic,
mostly old stash from my fabric drawer.

The one stamp set I used is an old Tim Holtz one
with cats, dies and embossing folder.

coloured them with markers.
I added a strip of lace to the bottom and stamped
the 'thank you' to one side.

added some little gems.

Polar Bear TNB


I hope I am not boring you with these TNB but they
are so great for using up scraps etc from my stash.

This one has a polar bear theme.

I got to use up ribbon and lace and had fun
stamping, colouring and cutting out the polar bears
from a stamp set called Beary Cute (SU).
The papers were left overs from DCWV called
all dressed up.

You can watch a quick flip through here

Here is my before and after scraps.

Travelling on


It's time for some midway inspiration for my theme of
TRAVEL/anything goes over at

For this one I used some background paper from my stash
that was free with a magazine many years ago.
I cut my tag shape then using a stamp set called
Chronology, I stamped over the paper.
I then printed off some items from Nitwits
called Journey and arranged them on
my tag. I finished off with a punched circle
and some bakers twine.

*****************************************

For my ATC I stamped the mini bus onto some
paper scraps using a stamp set called
Driving By (SU).
For the background of my atc I added some
bits of paper from a set called
Classic Garage (SU) and stamped
some tyre marks which I placed the bus.
The letters were stamped, cut and coloured
and I added some punched flowers and gems
to fill in the gaps.
I ran my fine liner around the edge for some
definition.

I hope you get time to join us and remember
we have a lovely prize up for grabs!

Another word for hero!


I have a card for a friend's Granddaughter who is a nurse.
I have been making cards for this girl from she
was about 10 years old, she is now in her 30s!
I have just about used every nurse image I ever had
a few times for sure.
So for this card I just used Nitwits downloads!

The first download is called Ouchies and that's
where I got the background papers, and centre pieces.
The candles came from a set called Pocake Fem.
Everything has been cut, layered up for depth.

I added the wording on my computer and raised up
the nurse and layered up the candles and sentiments.
Came out good enough and is a little change
from a nurse image.

Have a lovely weekend everyone.

Travel



Crikey, the first of August already!!!
Time for a new challenge over at
and this month it was my turn to choose it
and I have gone with TRAVEL.
So any mode of travel or any place to travel to.
But you are more than welcome to join with
the anything goes theme on your tag or ATC.

For my tag I used a stamp set from
Visible Image.
I stamped the train along the bottom
and embossed it with clear embossing powder.
I made a mask for it and stamped some trees behind
and then added some clouds using my homemade
cloud stencil.
I stamped the sentiment from the same set and
then drew a couple of birds in the sky.
I punched an eyelet for my ribbons scraps
and the tag was matted onto some blue card.
This will make a great tag for a male journal I am making.

I used heat embossing



**********************************


For my ATC I used a stamp from the same
set as above from Visible Image.
Again I added some clear embossing powder
so I could ink up the background.
I stamped some swirls around the edges
and added the wording which also came from
the same stamp set.
I coloured the wording with my markers and inked
around the edge of my ATC to finish.
