Bit of a shaker

Morning blogland,

This was made for the All Dressed Up stamps July new release and shared over at the All Dressed Up facebook group.  As always Wendy (the designer) has presented us with some super cute digis and my Teamies have come up with some gorgeous cards.  I really would suggest you take a peak - even if you don't particularly want any ADU stamps - the cards made with the stamps are just gorgeous.

And here's my contribution to all this loveliness! 

Supplies used:

Digital stamp:

All Dressed Up : Play Day

coloured with my Copics

Rubber Stamp:

Woodware : Word Fragments

Dies used:

un-branded stitched rectangles

My Favorite Things : Die-namics - Forever Friends

Papers:

First Edition - Blank Canvas

Extremely old piece of 12x12 patterned paper that I couldn't find a label on

Anything else:

gems and sequins for the shaker

And the ' bit of a shaker' - well I'm on a bit of a shaker maker roll at the minute, with this being the (I think) third shaker card I've made in probably three weeks.  It does come to a stop with the next one though, I got a bit pressed for time and went back to my usual clean lines style.

If you're not a Facebook fan we do also have a challenge blog where there is even more Design Team inspiration for you to take a look at.

Aaaaand I think that's about it for now folks.

Be seeing ya!

Sarah

Happy Birthday to....

 TTT!

Good morning blogland

That the new challenge over at Crafty Calendar Challenge is a 'Happy Birthday' one is a nice coincidence for me as it was also TTT's birthday a couple of Monday's ago - just when I needed to be making a birthday card for this challenge! 

Dealing with the challenge first - we are a very easy going blog with really simple rules which are follow the theme, don't backlink and a maximum of 3 entries per person.  That's it really - doesn't have to be a card, doesn't have a to have a particular type of product or crafty item; just make something yourself and enter.

Moving onto the card:

Supplies used:

Digital stamp:

DreamFlare Studios - Mythical Creatures

coloured with my Copics

Rubber stamp:

Woodware Craft Collection - Just to Say; Birthday

Dies:

Un-branded stitched rectangle set

Catherine Pooler - Wishes

Anything else:

very old 12x12 patterned paper

Now for TTT's birthday.  Well what do I say - she turned 19! It feels so strange that this is her last year of being TTT (The Troublesome Teen).  To be totally honest her birthday was a bit of a non-event; we spent the day at home, no party, no friends, just her opening presents and then her favourite meal for dinner. Oh and homemade cake that took me ages to make and no time to eat!

When I was her age it would have been a big party - but it would appear she just wanted a quiet day in.  Not sure I will ever get why a 19 year old doesn't want to party, but hey, who knows maybe that will be her 20s!

I am also open to suggestions as to what she is known as once she's no longer a Teen! Maybe we go back to SheWhoMustBeObeyed (SWMbO)!

Please do pop on over to the challenge blog - my Teamies have made some lovely Birthday cards! 

See you soon,

Sarah

 Good morning blogland

It's time for a new challenge over at Passion for Markers with the theme (as chosen by my Teamie Sue) as 'Transport'.

As always there a few simple rules for this challenge, with those being: use your markers, follow the theme and don't backlink.  If you do that you are in with a chance at a randomly drawn prize from this week's sponsor RAM Stamps and/or a Top 5 Passionista badge for your blog.

Here's the card I made with a super cute stamp the RAM Stamps allowed the DT to use:

Supplies used:

Digital stamp:

RAM Stamps Paper boat (girl)

coloured with my Copics

Rubber stamp:

For the Love of Stamps - Autumn Harvest sentiment set

(I masked over the 'autumn' part of the 'hello Autumn' stamp)

Dies:

un-branded stitched dies

Polkadoodles - heartstrings

Stencil:

My Favorite Things - mix-ables stencils: make waves

Anything else:

Distress Ink

blending brush

spotty paper

And that's it for the challenge folks.

On a personal note however, life is hectic - a birthday just gone, a birthday coming up far too fast for my liking, work (being work), life (being life and including having a induction at a local gym) makes for a busy chez Sarah!

See you all soon.
