Think Pink

Hi all, here I am with my DT Inspiration card for this months

Think Pink 

challenge at The Crafting Cafe.

Here's my card

I've used  the pretty Happy Little Mermaid Stamp from our sponsor

Aurora Wings

To make my little Shaker Step Card.

The paper I have used is by Papermania.

I coloured the image with my Promarkers, Flexmarkers & a Sakura

Glitter Gel pen. The little beads & hearts are from my stash 

as are the little padded hearts on the front.

The sentiment was done on my pc using a free font called

Seaweed Script, you can find it here.

I hope you will take the Breast Cancer Awareness message behind 

this challenge & I personally challenge you to check your boobies regularly for any 

changes or abnormalities. Not sure how? Look here for more information

Pink & link up here!

Christmas Candy

Good Morning bloggers!

Hope you are all looking forward to the weekend!

The card I have to share with you today was made using the

 "Christmas Candy" decoupage sheet & design papers from 

The Christmas Box CD Rom by La Pashe

It's  a centre stepper card!

The card blank is by La Pashe too!

All you need to do is fold along the pre scored lines & it's ready to embellish

however you choose! Anyhoo, on to my card!

I cut out the decoupage then layered it up using pinflair glue.

I added some glossy accents, a little glass heart & some ribbon

(which was up-cycled from a top my friend bought!)

 I also added some fluffy fibres to the Santa Hat.

I love the Christmas Stocking DP & thought it went so well with the

Christmas Candy as in true Christmas tradition, 

you're sure to find some candy in your stocking!

Here's a little side view to let you see the dimension!

Mistletoe Santa

Good Morning Bloggers & a happy Saturday to you all!

What a week it's been, so glad I can put my feet up for a couple of days!

The card I have to share with you today is one for La Pashe!

This little stepper card was made using the Mistletoe Santa from the very popular 

Christmas With The Wrinklies CD Rom

I love stepper cards as I always feel the stand out in a crowd!

The card blank is actually made by La Pashe too so that makes it all very simple.

The paper & sentiment are from the CD too!

Here's a closer look at the image!

I'm not sure if Santa is delighted or horrified! lol

As you can see I've added some tiny adhesive pearls to the mistletoe

& to Granny's necklace! The image & backing paper have been matted on to

some red foil paper from my stash! 

Here's a little side view of the card.
The only other embellishment I have added is the little bow!
Not in to CD crafting? Well , here's just the thing for you!
You can buy the complete set ready printed here.
You can of course buy the sheets singly too!
Thanks for popping by today! I hope you liked my card!
Make sure you check out those Wrinklies!

Wrinklies Mistletoe Paper

Good Morning bloggers!

I have a little card to share with you today!

This one was made just for fun & there is a bit of a deliberate mistake on it!

Can you see what it is?

This is a stepper card made using the mistletoe paper from

Christmas With The Wrinklies CD Rom.

The stepper card blank is by La Pashe.

I printed the verse (from the internet) onto some matching cream card

 then used a nestie & the mat supplied to cut a frame for it!

The only other embellisment I have added is a sheer ribbon bow 

with a little bell attached!

A quick, jolly & simple card made in a matter of minutes! 

I don't know about you but I just love that sometimes!

The image I have used is Silly Sam!

I know how hard it is to ride a unicycle as I bought one for my

hubby a few years back.

He finally mastered it last year & he keeps the neighbours entertained

when he's out practising! lol

Actually, I'm really impressed, he's my Hero!

All of the new release images will be available in store from today!

The papers I have used are from the 

Springtime collection at Scrapbookingmad

They gave me just the right Summery/Circus type look I was trying to find.

To tie in with the Cupcake Inspirations Challenge

Photo Inspiration

The stepper card base was a template from Craftystash.

I added some hand made bunting & a few buttons from my stash.

The letters were die cut.

Here's a closer look at Sam!

I decorated the inside of the card just a little to give it better balance.

Life's A Beach on the Dude Time Doodles New Release Blog Hop!

Happy Wednesday all!

It's time to grab a coffee, sit down relax & take in the sights along the way 

on the Dude Time Doodles New Release Blog Hop.

The Dude & Dudette's have some great works to showcase 

this month's new images along the way.

If you've arrived from the lovely & uber talented 

Ruth's blog you're right on track!

Now remember the hop is a circle hop with no beginning & no end.

Just jump on in & start hopping, remember to leave a little love along the way 

as there will be a mystery host/hostess with a little prize to give to one lucky 

person who leaves a comment!

Here's my card!

I thought I'd bring you something just a little bit different this week!

I made a centre stepper card using a template from the lovely 

Debbie Lauder atCraftystash you can find it here

If you're in a rush remember to leave some love then hop on right away 

to the awesome craft extravaganza that is CG's blog!

Here's how I made my card!

I decided to make a little beach scene!

I printed a sheet of A4 card with a freebie paper called 

Sand from the E Paper Kit Beach Day available from here 

then printed the template on the reverse!

I added some waves from the Mostly Mostly Sunny Paper Kit at My Grafico

This is the new release image, he's called Jacques Waterman!

As you can see, he's just arrived at Dudeville Hollow Beach

& is a whiter shade of pale than the rest of the guys!

Still, he's decided to make his entrance with a splash!

As you can see in the photo, he's suspended on a bit of acetate to 

make it look like he's diving into the water!

I decorated the back of the card with a couple of panels to write on

& some of the waves paper!

The other dude's on my card are already in store & are:

Babe Watcher best lifeguard in the business!

Santi Beaches (you know who) having a well deserved break!

Last but by no means least Waylon Waves is hanging five in the background.

A ribbon ruffle & button sun & a sentiment ticket from 

The Crafty Pad Designs complete my card along with 

a couple of beach themed metal charms.

Thanks for hopping by!

I hope you have time to complete the hop  don't forget to leave some love 

at each stop along the way!

Have fun fun fun!!!
