PS Sparks - Anything Goes Challenge

Hellooo, I'm back this Monday for a new Paper Smooches Sparks Challenge.... when there are five Mondays in the month our last challenge is anything goes and any DT member can play along so here I am and I really hope you join the fun too :0)

Mmmm anyone for Pizza??.... this one has pretty equally spread toppings too!! I just had to let that slice slip down the card and become the A of Happy. I reckon this would make a good card for a teenager of the male variety... lets face it, if nothing else they love to eat, right!!???

So let your creativity run wild and play along with us this week using which ever Paper Smooches stamp set you like and make whatever you want...... it doesn't even have to be a card!!
Don't forget to pop by and visit my teamies this week for inspiration too

A Canvas Flower

Hello there, I have a card to share for a couple of challenges :0) 

I need an anniversary card to send to our nephew and his wife so I looked to the challenge blogs for inspiration..... use felt or fabric is the requirement at Less is More this week so I had a rummage and found these old printed canvas flowers (I think from Jilibean soup). I also found the raised swirl which is a very very old sticker...in fact I'm surprised it's still sticky it's that old!!!

I added the threaded button to the flower stack and flipped the fab sketch over at CAS(e) this Sketch for my layout.... I'm pretty chuffed that I used some older stash  :0)

                                                               

On the homefront.... dear daughter has gone back to Uni and is living off campus in a student Let with 4 others and is enjoying a semi independent life again. It wont be quiet around here for long though as we are having our Bathroom and Kitchen revamped which includes a bit of destruction so a building site will ensue here soon. I can't say I'm looking forward to the transition process but the finished product will keep me going :0)

Right best get these entered and have some lunch.... thanks for popping by :0)

PS Sparks - September Picture Perfect Challenge

It's Picture Perfect week over at the Paper Smooches Sparks blog and I'm really enjoying how these photos are making me think creatively....come and see this weeks inspiration picture...

I resisted the temptation to go literal and followed the floating theme and colours....

The great thing about Paper Smooches stamps is how the stamp sets mix and match...... a quick search through my collection helped me find two different size balloon stamps and an oval and a circle to make the larger balloons at the base of the design. The balloons are stamped and cut from three shades of textured card, I've added shading by blending distress inks around the edges and white pencil highlights.... I'm so pleased with how they turned out :0)

Please join us this week and show us how the picture inspires you, here are the links to the rest of the lovely DT girls so you can see there creations too...

PS Sparks - September Designer Drafts

Hellooo there :0)

I've been enjoying playing with my new Paper Smooches stamps and dies for this weeks new PS Sparks Challenge!!.... it's desginer drafts and we have a great sketch for you this week with lots of potential, flip and twist it how you please...

I really love this super hero and his matching sentiment....

The framed sentiment and banner was inspired by his super hero belt... I stamped the iPad from Teen Routine on black card, trimmed with scissors and flipped it over for his buckle :0) I love how the buildings tuck into the curve of the banner whilst he stands a-top the sentiment!!

Here are the links so you can visit my talented teamies and see what they made of the sketch too and then come join us in the gallery.... check out the details here.

Diggin' this Scene

It's all quiet here so I thought I'd just pop on and share my DT card from yesterday over at Make the Day Special. My Paper Smooches order arrived last weekend so I enjoyed getting the Green Thumb set into use... Hubby is a keen gardener so this set was a must :0

I couldn't resist planting those carrots and radish in the soil which is made using the scallop die in the Borders 1 set ..... and the sentiment fits just perfectly in the wooden sign from Happy Camper, love how you can mix and match Paper Smooches stamps :0)

Here's how the card opens to reveal an underground visitor......

Hehe..... if Kim had added a mole to this stamp set it would have definitely been a scene from our allotment..... pesky things, although that's not what hubby calls them!!!!
I think we are off to get lost in a Maize Maze today... wish us luck as James usually likes to take the lead.... at least its not blazing hot sunshine.....yet!!!
You can find all the new Paper Smooches stash here over at the store, Happy Shopping :0)
