A Little Foxy

Yesterday was my youngest son Bobby's 11th Birthday, how time flies and how they grew up so quickly.  He had a lovely day and was spoilt too.  While he was at school my Hubby took me to Howarth, we had a very lovely day, then back to pick Bobby up from school and then onto shopping and eating out.



But I did manage to do this mid way challenge creation for Penny black & More @ Allsorts, where the theme is 'Anything Goes'  So you can use any theme and stamp for this challenge.

My cute stamp from Penny Black is from a transparent set called Smile All Day, I used spellbinder nesties dies to do the framing.  The flowers and sentiment are stamped from a freebie set free with a magazine.

Wings On Things

Good Morning bloggers, it's Saturday morning so It's time for a new challenge today at Allsorts.

Well I sneaked three things with wings on my card, my fairy, a bee and a butterfly.  I used a Flower Fairy stamp and her wings and dress are sparkly with Glamour dust but not really showing.  The Butterfly Die was a Christmas present, thanks B, it's a Penny Black and comes with two sizes, I also glamour dusted that too.

New Stamps, New Year!

Happy New Year to all,
It's a new year and a new month for Stamping Sensations and Penny black & More @ Allsorts challenges, if you didn't get the chance to join in last month's challenges these could be the ones for you.

At Stamping Sensations this month the theme is Coffee & Cream and this gives me a chance to play with new stamps, which my Cousin bought me for Christmas and brought me on his visit from America.  I used all brown/cream tones and embellished it with a photo strip stamped in brown.  The sentiment 'Say Cheese' was computer generated.

This months prize is


And of course, the Design Team have created some stunners to inspire you. Please do pay them a visit to their individual blogs - it means a lot to know you appreciate their efforts.

And now onto my second challenge creation for Penny black & More @ Allsorts, where the theme is 'Anything Goes'  So you can use any theme and stamp for this challenge.

I have used another new stamp which is from America, my Cousin and his Fiancee chose really well as I didn't have any they bought me.  This cute stamp is a perfect Birthday stamp for all ages.  I don't know the stamp brand for the balloons but I think it's a Daisy and Dandelion stamp, I glazed the balloons in Glossy Accents to give them that authentic sheen.  I punched, coloured and glittered some butterflies to fill in the spaces.  Think I will use this stamp quite often.

We have prizes from Penny Black, Crafty Ribbons, Tattered Lace
Now isn't that a lot of prizes, definitely worth getting your stamps out isn't it!!!!!!

Now if you would like to be a GDT for us, all you need to do is make a creation to fit the theme following our rules.
