Layering up

Morning blogland,

Couple of days late with this post - TTT and I were travelling all day Saturday and then Sunday was a full-on day of washing and sorting - now catching up with everything I missed last week / weekend.

This post is for the new challenge over at Crafty Calendar which runs for the whole of September with a theme of 'Lots of Layers'.  We do have a sponsor this time,  the fabulous Polkadoodles with a great prize for one lucky winner.

So moving onto my card, this was made for TTT's18th birthday in June and not shared until now.

Supplies used:

Digital stamps:

Character: an Etsy seller called zekesami -  Mia

coloured with my Copics

Balloons: an Etsy seller called ClipArt Vogue - 18th Birthday Balloons

Rubber stamp and matching die:

taylored expressions - Simple Strips: Die - well rounded and Stamp - Birthdays

Dies:

Creative Expressions - Centre Stepper Die Set

Pretty Pink Posh - Eyelet Borders

Papers:

Random scraps of card

And I think that's it really, 

See you soon,

Sarah

'Tis 'not' the night before Christmas

Morning blogland

Hmmm, so this is my post for the new challenge over at Passion for Markers and, the theme this week has been picked by the lovely Sue.  Sue, as you may have guessed, went for 'Christmas' as her theme  and we are sponsored by Dies to Die For, with a fab prize of a £15.00 voucher for the lucky winner.

I'm sure for all you crafters out there who make loads of Christmas cards, and make them early, this is going to be a fabulous challenge.  However, I'm not one of those and so this is the only Christmas card you're going to see on my blog for a loooong time! So enjoy!

Supplies used:

Digital stamp:

brought from an Etsy shop called zekesami and the image itself is 'Tania'

coloured with my Copics

(I do love a good poke around in Etsy shops!)

Dies:

un-branded stitched rectangle set

Creative Expressions - Stylish Script: Christmas Wishes

Anything else:

flat backed gems

And that's it folks.  Other than to say I obviously did something weird with the girls face, if I colour her again I think I'd create a full nose, not just a shadow of a one.

On a personal note we are still currently driving around at weekends looking at possible Universities for when TTT finishes 6th Form next year.  She doesn't want to go too far so we are sticking to within a 2 or 3 hours drive, but it still means we can cover a lot of ground! I'm starting to loose track of which Universities are which and so far none seem to stick out for her! Hey ho - I'm sure we'll get there in the end.

See you all soon,

Sarah
