Dotty Diva

I've been introduced to a new challenge site called Dotty Divas. They have a really fun ad challenge going on at the moment. The ad is really vibrant and as soon as I saw it I knew what I wanted to do. So out came the Basic Grey "Two Scoops" clear swirly stamps, I hand cut some flourishes and added this pic of DD, which I just LOVE. And hey presto! This is my take. The photo looks really light here, but the backing paper is Basic Grey Urban Couture Chiffon, which is quite bright yellow. Click here to see the challenge. Thanks for looking. Kel x

2 in 1

I managed to squeeze 2 challenges into one this week. Over at papertake weekly there is this fabby sketch to follow and Colour create's colour combo is Pink, Orange and Green, a lovely fresh and summery combination. So with the sketch and the colours I came up with this, using My Minds Eye - Bloom & Grow and Wild Asparagus papers, pink rick rack, Sugar Nellie "Lola's Tea party", some random buttons and a little present. Thanks for looking. Kel x

Playing in the Sugar Bowl

Today there is a sketch challenge over in the Sugar Bowl, with the extra "please include" option is doodling. Here is the sketch by Marlene And this is my take on the sketch. The stamp is "Hamish with Teddy on sleigh" available from Sugar Nellie of course. The papers I used are by Dovecraft and Anitas For the Doodling, I doodled some faux stitching around the edge of the "Hamish" image, and I also doodled some snoflakes in his background with a white sakura pen so that might now be easy to pick out. Thanks for looking Kel x

Chocolate and Marshmallow Allsorts

Eye Eye!

Cute Card Thursday's latest challenge is to use Eyelets. I have tons of eyelets that go a little unnoticed so it was good to be able to dig to the bottom of my drawer to get them out. I actually planned to use more than I did, but it didnt happen the way I had it in my head.

I had a bit of a floral overload instead! LOL. You kind of miss the eyelets with all those flowers but they are in the left bottom corner.

Recipe:

Basic grey - Offbeat paper, Sentiment stamp

Sugar Nellie - Rope Swing Stamp

Flowers, Brads and Eyelets from Papermania

Silk roses from stash

Thanks for looking, Kel x

Fairy Birthday

A quick card for my neice who just loves fairies! The stamp is "Sprinkles with Teddy" from Pink Gem designs. I used a sketch from Friday sketchers, paper from DCWV, Beads and gems from stash. I added some pink flock to the teddy and stickles to the wings, crown and shoes.

Come Dine With Me

This is a layout created for Scrapjazz July TV show title challenge. This really was quite hard. I could think of loads but couldnt put a photo to them. As soon as I picked up these photos of DD feeding her big cuddly Dog, I knew it had to be Come Dine with Me. Incase you dont know, Come Dine With Me is all about 5 random people who take it in turns over the course of a week to host the perfect dinner party. It is usually hilarious (if not only from the commentators comments) and you can get some really good recipes from channel 4.com! kel x
