Tickled Pink Challenge #15

Hi everyone
It's the first day of school holidays over here in WA, and I
wanted to make a card...what was I thinking! It was so not
going to happen, well I finally got there, it didn't turn out
quite the way I wanted it to, but  I  thought I'd share anyway.
So today I have used the sketch from challenge 15 over at
Tickled Pink Stamp Challenges

and here is my card using "Lil lad Lestat", you can find him
and all the other Lil Lads and Lolitas over at Tickled Pink
Stamps HERE

 

I have coloured using Derwent Artist pencils.

Love letters

Hi all,
Today I have made for Tickled Pink Stamps Challenges
#13, and this week the challenge is 'Blinging it up'
I have teamed up 'Lil Birthday Luca' (he was a recent freebie
for answering a question on Tickled Pink's Facebook page
Thanks Kellie :oD) with 'Lil fashionette - 30s Lylah' to
create a long lasting Love story, hope you like it...

for 'Bling', I have  added a ring, which I snagged from my
6 years old daughter's jewllery box (I'll have to buy her another
one now haha), pearl sprays, crystal hearts, a cute little kissing
couple charm that I picked up at Tickled Pink Stamps some time
ago, and there is also a little clear gemstone button at the
bottom of the floral arrangement. Hope that's enough bling :o)

The flowers and heart doily are also from Tickled Pink Stamps,
and I have added some cardboard, a crocheted doily, some
'Love letters', raffia and I have used Scrabble font.

Here is a close up of the lovely couple, coloured with 2B and 4B
graphic Pencils, to try and get that old photo look...

I am also entering this into Cute Card Thursday challenge 158

My first shaker card

Hi Everyone,
I have made a card today, and I must say, its been
a long time and I was feeling quite rusty! I have always
wanted to have a go at a shaker card, I saw a tutorial
probably a year ago, but Im not sure where that was,
maybe splitcoast stampers or youtube.
and seeing as it is soon to be Easter, I thought I'd
dust off one of the stamps from last year's Easter collection.

Close up so you can see the 'shaker' contents...

If you like the sentiment that I have used, great news, it's a freebie

Wedding Guest Book

Hi all,
Yes I am still out here, sometimes I can't even find myself  :)
Anyway, my Nephew got married on the weekend and he asked
me if I would be able to make a guest book for everyone to sign.
I had, what I felt was the perfect stamp for the cover, so I happily
agreed, even though I had less than a week to make it,
Thanks Reece! but I managed to pull it together and hand it to
them the day before the Wedding, holding my breathe, that they
would like it (lol) I filled the inside with pages where the guests
could not only sign their names but add comments to reflect their
favourite memories of the couple, how they have come to know
the couple, add any advice they would like to give and also
encouraged them to draw a little pic of themselves to make it a
special little keepsake. There were also verses and photo mats for
them to add their fave photos of the day.
I have only photographed the front cover today, as the inside
contained lots of personal information...

The photo doesn't capture all of the glitter, but that doesn't really
matter. I kept everything throughout the book Black, White and
Pink as these were there wedding colours.

My Wild Child

Hi everyone
I have been awol for a long time, so I thought it was time to get
back on the horse and try and get the creativity going again :o)

I have decided to do something a little different and have a go
at a Scrapbook challenge as I have mountains of photos laying
around just begging to be scrapped...so here we go...

I am entering a challenge at ScrapwithV this month they are
using this fabulous sketch as inspiration.

and Here is my take...

'Where the wild things are' was one of my favourite books as a
child and it was one of the first books that I added to my children's
collection. When I saw this 'Max' outfit hanging in the window at
our local Angus and Robertson store last year, I just had to snap
it up for my boy. He looks fabulous as Max and really fits the
character sometimes hahaha.
