It's sunday again!

Hello there, this is my last post for the month , doesn't time fly? It will soon be time again for new releases and  they are absolutely gorgeous as always! Today though, I have been playing with 'Tiger Girl' candace, who is all dressed up in a tiger costume for her birthday!

To make this card I have cased a layout from Inking on the edge .. I just love looking through layouts and sketches, and I thought this particular layout would look awesome in these oranges!

the papers are from craft creations and DCWV

i also used black and orange cardstock,

 a sizzix border die, 

a sizzix nestabilities label die 

and a bo bunny sentiment.

the scalloped rectangle was cut on my Scan 'n'cut

the ribbon was originally zebra print but I hand coloured it with a pumpkin promarker to fit the colour scheme

as a final touch i added some orange gems at the corners of the card

I hope you like it!

Sunday inspiration for Chi Chi Memories

good morning, another windy and miserable day here in the shire! 

the children have been busy bickering all weekend, and I am more than a little thankful they are both off to school and nursery tomorrow! 

today's project to show you is an easel card I have made for my daughters birthday in November, using one of this months releases ' fairy tinker' , perfectly cute and adorable for a little girls third birthday I think you will agree!

she ended up a little top heavy but still cute!

I used stickles, green spotty paper, 

light green cardstock

pink cardstock

copics and promarkers

sizzix circle die

scalloped circle cut on my scan n cut

green grossgrain ribbon

and a sentiment created on the computer

I hope you like her!

Sunday Inspiration for Chi Chi Memories

Hi there everyone! today's card for you is one using 'caught in the rain' by Chi Chi Memories

sorry this one is a little late in the day... I didn't manage to get it scheduled and I had family commitments today preventing me from sorting it earlier...

I made this gorgeous little caught in the rain card using a lot of peacock blue distress ink, and some joanna sheen bunting die cuts! she is so cute and perfect for the september weather over in the UK!

I also used some papers from the papermania sew lovely pack, some spotty digital papers and some ice white stickles. the heart embellies are the waste from the bunting die cuts- I save them in a little pot every time i use this die, so i am gathering a little jar of hearts :)

hope you have had a lovely sunday!

and a little reminder- the monthly ccm challenge with a limeted freebie starts  tomorrow, and you are going to want to snap this one up...come and join in over HERE tomorrow onwards!

happy hump day!

Hi everyone! well I am about ready for this week to be over already... I've not been sleeping well and convinced myself for several days my doctors appointment was today.. even went so far as to arrange for another parent to pick my son up off the school bus and keep him for a while if needs be... then I looked at the calendar this afternoon...appointment is not until friday...pfffft. so I gave up arranging my day around that, and made a card instead- and will still be in time to get him from the bus!

today's image is brought to you by the saturated canary SALE and is Mousey Mo.
