New Stamps

Hello everyone. I don't have anything to show this morning. I have been busy doing household things - yuck! My new WOJ stamps arrived yesterday, Herb with Bird, Lizzie with Muff and Willow with cookies. I can't wait to play with them. Unfortunately, I have to get something to mount them first. Hopefully, I will get some E-Z mount at the Creative Crafts & Gifts for Christmas show at the Royal Highland Centre in Edinburgh today. I hope to come back with some more goodies today also. I stopped smoking nearly two weeks ago and I have saved some money to spend. So, no card for now, I am away to buy some new toys, lol!

Friday Sketchers Challenge 29

There is a fun sketch over at Friday Sketchers. Beatrix, DT for Germany, has designed it for us. As usual, the DT cards are all fab. The A5 card is covered with spotty paper. Then two rectangles are cut and fixed on. One is in red paper and one in spotty paper. Next, is my fav stamp at the moment, 'Christmas Kisses' designed by Elisabeth Bell for Sugar Nellie. Coloured, as always, with inktense pencils. I have also added cream Flower Soft and some crystal stickles. The wavy strip of red card has been run through the bug with the swiss dots embossing folder. I have punched some holly from the scraps of paper and added stickles to this also. The greeting is from Craftwork Cards. I think I may have too many spots here but, never mind!

Sketch Challenge SK112208

SKETCH CHALLENGE SK112208

I have been getting lost on the web again and I have just found the Paper Craft Planet site. I loved this sketch. It was so simple to work with and still managed to produce a lovely result. Since I liked the result I thought I would take part in the sketch challenge.


I started with a white, square card which I covered with Snowy Jo - Jingle Baubles paper by 'imaginisce'. Next, I cut a rectangle of Snowy Jo - Snow Soiree paper and fixed this across the top half of the card. The image is 'Christmas Kisses' designed by Elisabeth Bell for Sugar Nellie Stamps. As always, it is coloured with inktense pencils. I cut this with my oval nesties in the bug. The scalloped oval behind the image is the largest of the set and I cut 2 halves of the red and green sheets of card from the DCWV Christmas Cardstock Stack. I tied some sparkly, silver trim from Papermania round the middle and mounted the ovals onto foam pads. The small greeting was one from my stash.

Sketch Saturday Challenge #25

This card is my entry for Sketch Saturday Challenge #25. This was a brilliant sketch and I loved it. I will probably be using it a fair bit in the future. Really enjoyed making this card and I was quite pleased with the end result. I am going to give this to my youngest son. Started with a square base card and covered with green paper from Paper Adventures, added two strips across top and bottom with Spotty paper from Paper Adventures. These were from a QVC kit a couple of years ago so I am not sure what they are called. Ran a strip of white card through the bug with the snowflakes embossing folder and fixed down the side. The image is a new Sugar Nellie one called 'Trimming the Tree', which was designed by Elisabeth Bell. I coloured it with inktense pencils and mounted onto red card. I added four green brads from my stash to the corners. The round greeting is from Craftwork Cards and the small square greeting was done on the pc. All corners were rounded with a punch.
