Hello Everybody,
I hope all is well with you
and that you have been having some
sweet crafty time for yourself!!
It's Wednesday and than means
it is time for a new challenge over at
Creative Inspirations,
and a gorgeous one it is,
we'd like to see you use
Lace, Pins and Pearls
on your projects.
A challenge for some,
nearly a guarantee for me,
I love the frilly stuff!!
I've had Elisabeth Bell curiosities for some time now, she makes the cutest little animals alongside her adorable dollie-like images, so I had a little spend over at Susana's Custom Art and Card Design. I happened to stumble over there on release day for the third sampler Elisabeth Bell has made for Susana's shop and this image is called Oh Baby from that collection. How lucky was that??!?! And what's even better, my order was processed that same day and I received it 2 days later, now THAT is service!! Also from SCACD are those little coral hued primas, they are the ones in the middle of the flower medley.
Papers are from DCWV, lace, pearls and pins are from my stash, I coloured the image in distress inks and the dress has been Stickled where I thought there ought to be some light reflection going on, it's polyester, lol. I cut out the image and adhered it to a circle with a shadowed image underneath, gives good dimension. And I guess that's that...
Other challenges I'll pop this in at:
Cupcakes Craft Challenge Round and Round
Saturday Spotlight Clean it up!!
Thanks for popping in,
I hope you will have some crafty time this week
so you can join in with the challenge at
Creative Inspirations,
a yummy prize is lined up for one lucky contestant
and the Design Team has prepared a
feast for your eyes to be inspired by!!
Take Care Friends,
Stephanne
Happy Valentines Day folks.
Finally, a post.
I have another "plate" for my calender,
this is for February, go figure...
This is the Whiff of Joy stamp I won from
Stampin' For The Weekend,
the adorable Bruno Bear with Muffin,
thank you so much SFTW and Whiff of Joy!!
I gave Bruno's cupcake a makeover by masking over the candle and then adding a heart to it, there are hearts stamped over the amazing radiating love muffin from another stamp. Bruno was coloured in distress inks.
Papers are all DCWV, the punch is by Fiskars, the leaves are done with an EK Success fern punch, a lot of stash stuff here, with the exception of that delish lace I've used on the card, that is from Kellie's shop, Magnolia Down Under, check it out here. Are you sick of my handmade scrolls yet? The sentiment is computer-generated. There is a cupcake in the corner of my calender that is cut out of a peice of Basic Grey DP.
And here we go with the challenges:

Hello everybody,
I hope you are staying warm,
and Aussies, I hope you are staying cool.
I have a card to share with you.
Information on the joy-fold card is
toward the bottom of this post,
I've used this darling hAnglar image
coloured with distress inks,
along with some fun new-to-me
DCWV Farmers Market papers,
my new toy, the sewing machine, haha,
I had a breakthrough today ladies,
next time I use it, I think the results
will be a little less wiggly,
gotta ease off the throddle, hahahaha,
a Penny Black sentiment,
the Martha Stewart doily punch
and lace ribbon and cherry blossoms.
This is a definite change of pace,
bright bold colours and patterns,
I think I am trying to warm up mentally
because I can't physically or something!!
I have a few challenges that I'll enter this in:
ABC Challenges is up to L,
L is for layering, you know it!!
Cute Card Thursday
is hosting a NEW challenge,
and I went with new-to-me stash
for my "new" requirements,
Dutch Dare Card Challenges
was my inspiration,
they are hosting a Joy fold card challenge,
and have a tutorial included in the posting,
thank you ladies, I enjoyed this lots and lots!!
I had a lot of fun looking at all of the
DT works at these challenges, fab stuff,
I think a lot of us are whipping out
bright and bold papers and embellies, lol.
I hope you all have a wonderful week,
get some crafting done,

Take Care,
Stephanne
