Party Time Lucy

Hi Everyone,

Does anyone remember when little girls went to a party they wore Black patent leather shoes with white socks and there very best dress ? 

Well when I saw this image from CC Designs from All That Scraps called Party Time Lucy , this is what it reminded me of, I suppose it still happens a little but times have changed and kids wear all sorts of out fits now. Gee I am starting to sound like I am a hundred lol.

Ok I have used this adorable image and she is off to a Birthday party.

Anything goes at the ATS Challenge  this time around so jump in and have a go , there are always great prizes on offer.

It's a shame you can't see it in the photo , but I used a Sakura clear glaze pen on her shoes to give them the shine of Black patent leather, it looks great irl trust me!

Here is a close up of Lucy, at Copic Oz they have a challenge at the moment involving the brand new release colours for 2012, now they did ask to create something with the closest colours to the new release, 

and as I buy my copics a few at a time, I didn't have ones that were very close on the list, it made me realise just how far I have to go with my collection. The prize is the new 12 set , so what a way to start building those colour families !

Here is the inside made to match the front, I am really trying hard at the moment to make sure everything follows through, Oh and by the way the layout for my card came from the Brilliant Bev on her tutorials and sketches page of her blog All the things I love if you haven't already check out her amazing work.

New Challenge at Bizzy Becs

Hi Everyone,

I hope you are all ready for a brand new challenge?

Here at Bizzy Becs we are and we want you to join in the fun. Our lovely Debra has chosen the theme this month and Debra would like to see , All white except the image and you must have hearts somewhere on your card, of course it is the month of Love, being February.

For my card I have used an adorable stamp from Whimsy Stamps Jumbo Love which is available at Bizzy Becs Online Store.

This cute couple come with the sentiment and bows as a set, so it's an extra great value red rubber stamp set. I have used my grey copic's  to colour the image , He is in the cool and neutral greys and She is in the warm greys, I havn't coloured anything just grey before , but I was pleased how this cute couple turned out.

On the inside I have just wrote a little verse and added some more hearts to match the front. 

The hearts are part of a alphabet set from cuttlebug, and I have embossed them to with cuttlebug swiss dots and craft concepts budding vine embossing folders as per the front. I have distressed around everything with Pumice Stone Distress inks , just for a little more dimension.

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.

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.

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!!!
