Have you checked out the Scrapwhispers blog today?? Its the 4th week of September so that means its blog hop week. And I have written a little tutorial on how to use your rubber, acrylic or digital stamps on your scrapbook pages.
Its much easier than you think. And very effective.
I'd love to see you have a go but don't forget to link us up to your work so we can leave lots of love. Spread the word about our blog hop! See you there, happy hopping :)
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!!
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 :)
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.
This is my take on the sketch which can be found here, with further inspiration from our wonderful DT. And don't forget our challenges are open worldwide and if at least 5 people play along you will be entered into the running for the fabby September prize, so spread the word and I can't wait to see your sketch inspired pages!!
"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! :)
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!
