A Chef and a Llama!!!

Hehe... well that could be a scene from The Muppet Show or the opening line to a joke I suppose but it's actually the characters on a couple of DT cards I have to share with you today....

I couldn't resist this scenario with a flipped pancake on the floor and this chef looking a little embarrassed and surprised!! I tucked the pan and spatula behind his back and set him with a brick wall backdrop, the pancake is an oval die-cut coloured with Copics. I mixed and matched the sentiment from different stamp sets so it's easier to leave it chopped up on the card ;)

Next card, and this funny llama has the best expression .... it goes so well with the clever sentiment..

I was channelling the Inca style (I think!!) with the bright stepped up border and stencilling on the Kraft card. Perfect card for a guy, in fact both cards are..... got to love stamp sets that are unisex :)

Kitschy Recipe Book

Hi there :)

I'm popping by to share this notebook I decorated, I've used MFT's Kitschy Kitchen so I could turn it into a recipe book/kitchen organiser... mine is looking a little tired and needs updating ;)

I went with a colour scheme to compliment my kitchen and added a dash of yellow for the fruit... love these colours together :)

I used pigment ink to get crisp images, dye ink was going to soak into the Kraft to much and then I'd loose the floral detail. I've used Prismacolour pencils to colour the patterns on the crockery and add shading to the fruit. The shelves and banana stand are not in the stamp set but can be cut with the matching die set so I just made stencils to ink through instead.

I carried the theme on in the inside too and stamped a few images on random pages using pigment inks. I just chose a few to decorate but will probably add more as I fill the pages... here's a little montage of a few of the designs..

CASE designer at Time Out challenge

Hi there :)

Well I'm very happy and excited to say that I'm joining the ladies over at the 

Time Out challenge blog today as their CASE designer for March.

Designing a card for others to CASE!!.. eek! It's not something I've done 

before so I just decided to put that thought aside and have fun :)

 I was inspired by the onset of spring and the warmer sunny days we are 

having which means the birds are busy preparing for nesting.....

I love these little nesting boxes which can be cut from pretty

 patterned paper for a pop of colour..... perfect for a New Home card :)

I'm hoping there's plenty of scope in my design to inspire you to play along... 

can't wait to see what the Time Out design team have created too :)

All the challenge details can be found over on the blog here and I'm looking forward

 to seeing the cards that appear in the gallery... hope to see you there :)

Thank you so much Sandie and the team for inviting me to guest with you this month :)
