LOTV challenge - Button it!

Another card for the Lili of the valley challenge - button it. Quite a simple card using the adorable ballerina stamp from LOTV, papers are from crate paper neighbourhood collection. The charm is from an old bracelet I found in a charity shop and the button is from an old top of DD's. On the hair of the ballerina, I've glued a bead that was on a mobile phone charm that had broken... this is actually quite a thrifty card. I hadn't realised til I was writing this, LOL!!! Am very proud of myself now for all the upcycling I'm doing! ha!!

Simon Says... Anything goes

So I broke out my Gorjus Girl stamp "Family", stamped onto another piece of my linen trousers I've already mentioned, and turned it into a hanging scented cushion. Of course, it's been blagged by DD as a 'Got to have that in my room mummy'. This is being entered into the Simon says challenge this week :)

Colour Create -

Heres a card I;ve made for the latest Colour Create challenge - Lime, Aqua and White with the added optional extra of Texture. I've used Echo park Seasons Greetings papers, I ruffled the ribbon by pulling green thread through the white grosgrain and I've added a few beads onto the "snow" drops. For extra texture I've cross hatched on the fluffy part of the coat, you can't really see that on the photo :( The image is from LOTV, one of their new releases. Thanks for popping in.

Scrap it with a song - Yellow

"Look at the stars.. look how they shine for you...." Yep, Coldplay's 'yellow' is the song choice for the rock chicks this week at Scrap it with a song. A beautiful song, with PLENTY of Scrapability!! I did a card for this challenge, in yellow, and in a star shape to fit the opening lyrics. I saw Coldplay live a few years ago and they were incredible. This song was done acousticly... and was just wow! How will this song inspire you? Check out the Scrap it with a song blog, for the full lyric list and more inspiration from the wonderful DT and Guest designers too! :)

Less is more

This card was made for the latest Less is more challenge, where anything CAS goes. The stamp is from LOTV, and I've paper pieced the "boat", the "water" and the sail. I then hand drew the border and wrote the sentiment. This card is about to be sent off to OZ for a friend of mine who has had a little boy :) Thanks for stopping by!
