Sketch Saturday

Here is a card I made for Sketch Saturday Challenge. I loved working with this sketch and I think I would use it over again. I put some Basic Grey 'Eva' paper as a background. I stamped the tree image by Imaginise(fairest of them all collection), and coloured the flowers in pink, distressed the edges and ran a pink ink pad along the edge. I then adhered it to a piece of pink scalloped card, ran a strip of scrap basic grey paper across and added some flowers and brads to finish it off. Thanks for looking Kel x

Super Powers?

If you could choose to have a Super Power, what would it be? Invisibility? Super Speed? Or maybe Morphing? Thats the question for this weeks "Book Of Me" challenge over at Its just too random. If I could choose one super power it would be Telekineses. I would love to be able to move inanimate objects. When I've seen magicians over the years doing things like it, I have been mesmerised. ALthough it was a very close toss up between this power and invisibility. Sometimes I wish I could be a fly on the wall but on the other hand, I might not like what I hear or see. So here is my mini layout for this weeks challenge. Go over and discover yourself! Kel x

Look at what I won!!

Saturday was National Scrapbooking Day and there were so many events going on all over the place. I had my parents visiting so I couldnt get involved as much as I would have liked, but in the morning I logged onto the Scrap Whispers site and saw there was a fun Blog Hop going on. The hop went to all of the amazing blogs of the Design team, where you were to collect a letter from each one to make up a password for the last page. On Georginas blog Its just too random, if you left a comment and a little note about your scrapbooking disaster you were put into a draw for Maya Road clear stamps and 2 Wispa chocolate bars! And I won!!! I couldnt believe it! My parcel arrived this morning and I am just so chuffed. A BIG THANKYOU to you Georgina! And so now I am off for a cup of coffee and a bar of Wispa!! I havent had one for years!! Enjoy the rest of your day Kel x

Papertake Weekly

There is a fab sketch over at Papertake Weekly this week. I stamped and coloured in the 'Carefree' image from Sugar Nellie, about a week ago and I couldnt think of how to put it onto a card. When I saw this sketch I knew I wanted to use this loely image, and as I put it together I wondered why it took me so long to use it. It goes beautifully with the Laura Ashley papers I have used. I also added a couple of brown paper flowers from papermania and threaded a tea rose through each one.

Thanks for looking. Kel x

Colour Create

Colour Create's challenge this week is to use Red, Brown and Cream. Not normally a colour choice I would go for but thats why its called a challenge, right!? And so here is the card I made using that colour scheme. I used 'Mimi in hat and coat' clear stamp from Pink Gem Designs (Who are looking for a new member of their design team by the way), coloured her in with watercolours. I used plain red CS, and some doodlebug flocked paper, red spotty ribbon from my stash and I made some lollipop flowers from scraps I had left over to mimic the rose on Mimi's hat. Thanks for looking! Kel x

Basic Grey challenge

Another FAB challenge over at the Basic Grey Challenge Blog. This week is to use a colour combo of Black, Grey and 1 other colour. I didn't really know what other colour to do until I made the card. The morning I made it I had got a parcel from Embellishmentsetc.com with the Basic Grey clear stamps value sets. So I really wanted to use the little birdy stamp, and stamped him out on various colours and thought that the image on the orange patterned paper looked best against the black and grey. For this card I used Ambrosia papers, Basic Grey bird stamp, and an apron lace punch (from Fiskars) for the orange strip, Studio G alpha stamps and a button that was from an old shirt. The Button is looking a bit blue in this photo but I promise you it is grey! Thanks for looking Kel x
