Happy Birthday Elaine

 

It was Elaine's birthday on Friday and we all got together to celebrate last night. 

I made her a card with the Lili of the Valley digi stamps from the Thoroughly Modern Misses collection. This time I chose the February girl together with the 'Monthly Trait' for December. 

I printed them onto digital cardstock and coloured them with my Promarkers.

The greeting is from Crafter's companion, and the patterned papers and ribbons are from my stash.

Happy birthday Elaine

Snowman Poop!

"Heard you've been naughty

So here's the scoop -

All you get for Christmas is Snowman Poop!"

I found this idea of Pinterest by Shannon White and made these cards for my friends at today's crop at Cardinal Colours.

I added another idea found on Pinterest to add labels to the Tic Tac packs from a blog called 'Somewhat Simple' with free printables.

I used a variety of different embossing folders and the Sizzix, Bazzill cardstock, digital cardstock, ribbons, Distress Markers, corner & circle punch, the Cricut and of course Tic-Tacs.

Hope you all like these fun cards and enjoy the crop today.

Thanks for looking
Love Lynn

Happy Birthday Mary Poppins!

It's Mum's birthday this weekend and I ordered this stamp many months ago when I first saw it as it's perfect for her - my very own Mary Poppins!

Every week, when my triplets were small, Mum used to travel over to my house early one morning stay over until the following evening. She would help me with all that needed doing for the babies and was great company too. As she had chosen to be called 'Nanny' by the children and her name is Mary she acquired the nick name of 'Mary Poppins'.

Using the Cricut, I cut the basic scalloped shape from black Bazzill twice to make a card blank. The little houses were cut from the Jolly Holidays cartridge. The image is a Kraftin' Kimmie Stamp coloured with my Promarkers. The background was sponged with distress ink. I added gems and ribbon to finish off.

I would like to enter this card into the Kraftin' Kimmie challenge #200, Back in Black.

Happy birthday Mum.
Thanks for looking.

Mellow Colours of Autumn

This weeks Kraftin' Kimmie challenge 'Fall into Fall' is to use autumnal colours.

I chose a Moonlight Whispers stamp called 'Curtis', and coloured him with my Promarkers. I stamped his image onto the striped paper to cut out his dungarees to stick to the image before colouring. The sentiment came with this stamp too.

I knew I had several Basic Grey collections that would work for this challenge, and decided on the retired Mellow collection

I used these papers to layer up the image and used the Fabulous Findings Cartridge with the Cricut to make the tag. 

The image and the greeting were stamped with brown Memento ink onto digital cardstock. 

I added some paper leaves which have been in my stash for some time. along with the Mellow papers!

I looped some thick jute twine through the tag top.
