It's a little spotty!

Good morning blogland,

It's time for a new challenge over at Sweet Stampin' and this fortnight the theme is 'Spots and Stripes'.  

As always, this is a 'for fun' challenge, so no prizes - we do this just for the fun and love of stamping!  There are also only two rules - follow the theme and stamp (rubber or digital) on your project somewhere.

Here's my card:

Supplies used:

Rubber stamps:

Sentiment:

Taylored Expressions - Simple Strips: Friendship

Dies:

Taylored Expressions - Simple Strips: asymmetrical

Anything else:

Time for Tea Designs - Simple Stripes Stencil

Cosmo Cricket - Pixie-Licious

Distress Ink

blending brush

flat backed gems

Back in the using smaller un-inked rubber stamps groove, so the American sized card die came out and I've made another diddy card.

Right I'm off now to do some painting - of the walls sort!

Bye for now,

Sarah

Valentines

Good morning blogland

It's time for a new challenge from Sweet Stampin' and this fortnight we'd like to see all your Valentines makes.  Obviously, as always, we need to see some stamped element in your project but it doesn't need to be a card.

I'm still experimenting with the American sized cards and old un-used stamps - so this is my make for this fortnight:

Supplies used:

Stamps:

Whimsy Stamps - Keeper of Hearts

coloured with my Copics

Dies:

Creative Craft Products - A2 card blank

My Favorite Things - Stitched Rectangle Set and Fishtail Foundations

Pretty Pink Posh - Love you script

This is not the last time you'll see me today - so come back in an hour or so for another card.

Hope you find some time to pop over to the challenge and join in with us!

Sarah

Nope, no way, not yet!

 Good evening blogworld,

There's actually two nope, no way, not yets' to cover here.  One is it's time for a new challenge over at Sweet Stampin' and the challenge theme this fortnight is 'Christmas in September', good for all you wonderfully organised people who are already making their Christmas cards.  

For all the others, me really!, it's oh my Lord - nope, no way, not yet is the year working it's way to Christmas! I'm also not supposed to be here this week, it's not my Team's turn, but Winter brain has already set in and I made a card before I realised that it wasn't my Team. I've made no secret of the fact that Christmas isn't my favourite time of the year but there you go - I've made a card already and someone will be very honoured to have this hen's teeth of an item I'm sure.

Please come join in with the challenge, my Teamies - well this weeks' temporary Teamies - have made a wonderful selection of inspiration cards which are well worth a pop over and look at.  Do however remember this is a stamping challenge so your entry does need some element of stamping (rubber or digi) on it.

The card:

Supplies used:

Rubber stamp:

Whimsy Stamps - Penguin Christmas Sweetheart

coloured with my Copics

Dies:

Creative Expressions - Sue Wilson 'Big Words'

unbranded stitched rectangle dies

Anything else:

Cuttlebug embossing folder - snowflakes

doesn't show up very well in the picture at all, but I promise it's there.

The other nope, no way, not yet is that TTT goes off on her Iceland adventure tomorrow.  We have to be outside school (about a 15 min drive away) for 5.20am!!! We've spent all day buying last minute supplies, packing the suitcase and double checking that she's got everything she needs for this grand adventure.  We pick her up next Saturday at 2am, when she will no doubt be very tired and grumpy!

Anyways I'm extremely late with this post - see reason above - and as it's nearly 8pm I'm off to bed to get ready for my early start in the morning.

I'll link up to some challenges and then that's it I'm gone!

See you soon,

Sarah
