All things girly

Morning blogland,

This post is for the new challenge starting today over at Passion for Markers and this week the theme is 'For the Girls'. I do hope you'll play along - the theme was my pick this week - eeek!

We have a lovely prize on offer by the always fabulous Paper Shelter and they also allowed the DT to pick a digital stamp to use for our makes.

So this is my card with that stamp:

Supplies used:

Digital stamp:

The Paper Shelter - Vintage Amy

coloured with my Copics

Rubber stamp:

Woodware - Word Fragments 2

Dies:

My Favorite Things - Fishtal Foundations + Inside and Out circles

un-branded stitched rectangles

Paper:

First Edition - Love Letters

I find it odd how cards go together sometimes - sometimes I know exactly what I want to do, but others I surf and surf and surf, think I've found an idea but then it ends up not really looking like the that idea at all.  Then I find a scrap of paper (as with the striped bit on this card) or a discarded die-cut and 'boom' that's exactly what I wanted! Strange old world.

Anyways, enough rambling from me - pop on over to the challenge, why don't you - you'll find some wonderful cards and a great prize on offer.

Aaand that's it from me folks - I'll catch you next time I'm in blogland!

Hello, 2025!

Good morning blogland,

Here I am and here we are - first post of 2025! I hope everyone had as good a Christmas and New Year as was possible.  Ours never really changes it's always very quiet - for both occasions - and (let's be honest here!) a tad boring. Not religious, don't do late nights and just us three for family - so hey, what'd I expect!

Still that can all be put behind us now and we move on, and in the moving on here's my first Design Team card of this year! We kick off 2025 with a new challenge over at Crafty Calendar Challenge with a theme of 'Add a die cut', no sponsor for this one but there is a prize on offer.

Now I do love my dies and I might have just a few, so this one is right up my street and I didn't stop at one die cut, oh no - you've got loads!

Supplies used:

Rubber stamp:

Time for Tea - Let's Party

coloured with my Copics

Dies:

Creative Craft Products - A2 Essentials Landscape Card Die set

Time for Tea - Smile Inverted Scallop Frame set

Time for Tea - Hey Hello Hi Sentiment Die set

Anything else:

white gel pen

blue striped blue light-weight card

I realise it's probably a little odd to pair that sentiment with that image and even I had a different sentiment to begin with, but I saw that 'hello' and thought 'oooh, I like that!' and went with it!  

Aaand that's about it for my first post of 2025 - I look forward to posting many more times over the next year!

See you soon,

Sarah

Half=way!

Good morning,

The half-way is in reference to the Mega Christmas challenge over at Passion for Markers  - not half-way to Christmas.  I'm sure you good people in blogland probably know we are much closer to Christmas than half-way, I'm darn sure I know!

Anyways it's basically the DT at PfM have been given December off, but to keep all you lovely colourers busy there's a mega Christmas 'Anything Goes' themed challenge running for the whole of December.  Team 2 posted their cards last fortnight - it's Team 1's turn this and here's my card!

Supplies used:

Digital Stamp:

PoppyLane Digital - Cute Coffee Cat

coloured with my Copics

Rubber stamp:

Taylored Expressions - Simple Strips: Man, Myth, Legend

Dies:

Whimsy Stamp - OMG

Taylored Expressions - Simple Strips: Well Rounded

un-branded stitched rectangle set

Pop over to the challenge and you'll be able to see all the prizes on offer - too many to list here! - and so we're restricting you to 3 entries per person.

Right that's it from me, gotta run - got things to do!

See you soon,

Sarah
