A little bit of vintage

Hi Everyone,

I have a card today for some challenges I would like to enter, it's been a while since I have entered any , my mojo has not been kind to me lol, and this last week the heat has dragged me down a bit , it's been in the high 30's so by the time I finish work I don't feel very creative , just yuk.

But when I saw the photo inspiration at Bunny Zoe's Crafts Challenge I thought how beautiful it was...

The colours are absolutely gorgeous and I thought it had a vintage feel. So I got out my all time fave Tilda with balloon inked her up and put on some music and this is the result.

I have also decided to do a card recipe at the end of the post from now on, then you will be able to skip through it if you want to.
Paper Creations Ink would like to see Die Cuts and / or punches and Papertake Weekly  wants Die cute Special , so I am pretty sure I have got both of these covered.

And a close up of Tilda.
MDUC , Just Magnolia , Magnolia-licious Highlites all have challenges asking for Anything goes , how great is that !!!

January Challenge at Bizzy Bec's

Hi Everyone,

We have a brand new Challenge at Bizzy Bec's and the theme for January is nice and easy Anything Goes!

I decided to make an easel card this time, I havn't made one for a while and it's nice to change things up a bit.

I have used Teddy Cuddles from the Once upon a time Collection, she is so adorable in her frilly skirt and at only $2.00 for the digi, how great is that!

I teamed her up with BB Digi ticket stubs A Little bit of Everything 3 also available for $2.00.

I cut out my image with Spellbinders ovals and used my brand new Cheery Lynn Die Tropical Flourish and I have added a lace doily . All these are available at Bizzy Bec's Online Store.

 Here is the inside, the DP is digi paper, the border die is Magnolia - Old Swedish Lace , the gingham ribbon is from my stash. I sponged a few elements with Memento Rose Bud ink.

Copic & Prisma Pencil Colours Used

Dress - BG13, BG11, BG10 Green Pencil (not prisma) R85, R81 Henna

Skin - E0000, E000, E00 Henna

I hope you can join in the fun with our Anything Goes January Challenge, we would love to see what you create!

Ok girls time to get creating, thanks for stopping by and leaving me such wonderful comments, I appreciate them very much.

Cupcake Anyone?

Hi Everyone,

Today I have a CC Designs card to show you, Swiss Pixie Cupcake Birgitta  she is so adorable ! 

I masked her off and sat her on the CC Designs bench and added some clouds for the background. The DP is from Kaisercraft Sweets collection and the fence is Magnolia Lovely fence die. The sentiment Bizzy Becs Digi Ticket Stubs Birthday 1 , the lace , ribbon and heart brad are all from my stash.

I thought how cute this little girl was too so I put her on the inside she is Birgitta Blowing Hearts. I coloured the images using copic's and prisma pencils. 

I hope you all are having a great start to 2012, I am looking forward to a year of creating and maybe taking a little more time just for me. My kids are getting older now and I don't think that they need mum to do everything for them anymore, we will see how that works out ........

Have a great week everyone!!!
