June New Release

Good morning blogland,

I'm back today with my Design Team card for All Dressed Ups' June new release.  If you are a Facebooker you can pop over to the Facebook Group to have a look at the first batch of the inspiration cards - mine included! 

If you are more of a blogger, then there was a post there too - All Dressed Up Challenge blog, with lots more wonderful inspiration.

So without further ado, here's my card:

Supplies used:

Digital stamp:

All Dressed Up - Little Sports Champ

coloured with Copics

Rubber stamps:

My Favorite Things - Totally awesome!

taylored expressions - Simple Strips: birthday

Dies:

un-branded stitched rectangle set

taylored expressions - Simple Strips: well rounded

Anything else:

Lawn Fawn - lawn clippings stencils: brick

Distress Inks

black card

Aaaand that's it, for now, folks,

Be back soon,

Sarah

Challenge/s:

Passion for Markers :Week 693 - For a man or boy

Gem of a Craft Challenge: Wk 11 - Anything Goes

Worldwide Crafters and Colourists Challenge: Challenge #5

Time Out Challenge: Challenge 240 - 'Sportive'. Well it could be the 'sport' side of things - football and skate-boarding.  It could be the 'fun' side of things - doesn't chap and his little pal look very happy together going off to play? It could also be that I really like using both ADU images and this stencil is my favourite, so these make me happy.  So many reasons this card is 'sportive'! :-)

All square here

Morning blogland

We are in the home straight of GCSE's at Chez Sarah now! TTT is in school today for two exams but she is also officially on 'study leave' which I don't remember being a thing from my days at school. Maybe it's such a long time ago I just can't remember! Basically 'study leave' means she only has to go in when there is an exam on. Not a problem - she says!

So for today she's in all day as she has English and French exams, but then she's in and out like a Jack-in-the-box! Half day here, not in there, full day other days - we've got her exam schedule up on the wall to keep track of who needs to be where to pick her up when for the next fortnight!

Phew, well after that little ramble, moving onto more interesting stuff - I made a card, which wasn't a DT inspiration! It was for an actual real person and was delivered yesterday. 

 not sure my photographic skills were good enough to pick up the sparkly dots I put on her dress - so here's her close-up.

Supplies used:

Digital stamp:

Mo's Digital Pencil - Zelda

coloured with my Copics

Rubber stamp:

taylored expressions - 'It's your day'

Dies:

Creative Expressions - Noble Collection: Stitched Squares

Spellbinders - squares / scalloped square

Whimsy Stamps - OMG! word die set

un-branded alphabet set

Anything else:

Allsorts paper pad

mixed up beads/glitter/brads (for the shaker part of the card)

acetate

red card

Hopefully I'm going to be getting more time and inclination to be going into my craft room soon - I do feel like it's been mildly neglected for probably the last 6 months or so!

That's it from me folks,

Hope everyone is well,

Sarah

Challenge/s:

Passion for Markers - Week 692: make it square

Krafty Chicks Challenge - #666: week 1 (stamp act)

As You Like It Challenge - Favourite: Pastels or Brights. I think you might guess from this card (and a quick look back at previous cards) I go for Brights.  Pastels are not really my thing, I do dabble occasionally, but I always return to Bright colours.
