Music and Lyrics - Joanna Sheen Challenge

Time for another challenge over at Joanna Sheen and this fortnight our theme is:

MUSIC AND LYRICS

I was sent this fab House Mouse decoupage to work with isn't it just adorable! Just my cup of tea being musical myself .. I love it!

I had some musical backing paper by My Mind's Eye in my stash, which goes perfectly with this image. The sentiment is also from the same decoupage sheet as the main image, which I have framed in a vintage metal frame. I finished the card off with some pearl gems and a vintage corner. With an image like this and its size the card didn't need much embellishment.

Hope you like it and hope you will join in with this challenge! And with a £15 Joanna Sheen voucher up for grabs, what is there to lose! And if you fancy being our GDT next month, add GDT after your name! Simples!

Happy Crafting!

Kraft it! - A Little Bit Crafty

It is time for challenge number two over at A Little Bit Crafty and our theme this month is Kraft It! We want to see your creations using kraft card. I just love the stuff and use it for matting and layering on most of my cards these days .. 

There are some fab prizes up for grabs from our sponsors:

My card for this challenge is for my next door neighbour who has just had a baby boy!! Here it is:

I love this Baby Edwin stamp from Magnolia and he is coloured with Distress Markers. I have used Shabby Blue Frantage powder from Stampendous on opposite corners of my paper, I love the effect this stuff gives. Papers are Up and Away by First Edition and the star border punch is from Tonic.

Hope you like it and hope to see you over at the challenge!!

My Fair Lady

My Fair Lady is one of my favourite musicals and I really hope I can be in this show one day! Whilst perusing the net last week, I came across a Debbi Moore collection of CD ROMs inspired by this musical and I just had to get them!

And this is what I came up with:

I love it! Everything is from the CD apart from a few pearl and sparkly gems and the fab dazzler on the faux ribbon! I actually took the sentiment from one of the backing papers.

Hope you like it .. I think this CD ROM is 'loverly'"!!

A Little Bit Crafty - Midway Creation for Anything Goes

And this is another card that is late being posted .. this one is for the A Little Bit Crafty Anything Goes debut challenge and this is my card for the midway reminder, which I should have posted on Monday!!

Honestly, I get a new kitty and I am all over the place!!

So here is my second Anything Goes creation:

You still have a little bit longer to join in with this challenge until the new ones starts on 1st May! And with the theme being Anything Goes, anything is welcome!!

I love this Tilda and she is coloured with Distress Markers. Papers are Birdsong by First Edition matted onto pink Core'dinations. Floral Ovals by Spellbinders and the Butterfly and Birdcage dies by Memory Box have been used here! Sentiment is Wild Rose Studio on a Magnolia ticket die cut with Victorian Velvet Distress Ink. 

See you over there!

Joanna Sheen: Spring into Spring

I must apologise for the incredible lateness of me posting this card, I just realised that I haven't posted it!! I have had an eventful couple of weeks with getting a new kitty and then falling down the stairs and injuring my foot! Been hobbling around for the last week, can't really avoid walking on it!!

Anyway, with one thing another, I completely forgot to post my DT card on here .. better late than never as they say ..

So here it is!

I was sent this fabulous House Mouse stamp to work with featuring this cute kitty - very apt with us just getting Lola. She has been with us for two weeks now and settling in well. We got her from the local rescue place and she is a 4 year old tabby. She is such a loving little thing and is always coming to us for snuggles! I love her and here she is:

Isn't she lovely!!

Hop over to the Joanna Sheen challenge blog tomorrow for our new challenge!!

Magnolia - Nativity

I think this has to be the earliest Christmas card I have ever made!! I have accumulating stamps from the Nativity collection and so wanted to make a full nativity scene card. Then I saw the current Tilda's Town challenge was Christmas so I went for it!!

I coloured all the images with Distress Ink Markers - I absolutely love these - think they are my new favourite medium! The backing paper is Magnolia as well. I have embossed two corner stamps from LOTV in white embossing powder and covered two Marianne Designs die cut Christmas Trees with some clear glitter. The sentiment is Stamendous, although I only used the top half as the whole thing wouldn't fit!

Hope you like it! :)
