Puttin' On The Ritz

Good Morning bloggers, it's Saturday morning so It's time for a new challenge today at Allsorts. And this challenge will run for two weeks.
This week is our lovely Kath's turn to host and she would like to see 'Buttons & Bows'

When I saw the theme my first thought was a baby card, then I wondered if I could do elegant, so out came my Roaring 20's stamps, I wanted to use my papers but sometimes the matching papers get a bit busy, so this layout allows me to use the papers without them taking over.


Don't forget to head over to Allsorts for all the details of this challenge, and to check out all the fabulous inspiration from my very talented team mates.

Here is our prize and sponsor:-

Time For Tea

Good Morning bloggers, it's Saturday morning so It's time for a new challenge today at Allsorts.
This week is our lovely wendy's turn to host and she would like to see 'Charms'

So I was looking through my charms for one to use for this challenge, I came across this cute cup and saucer and it brought this LOTV stamp to mind.  I love using this image and love colouring it even more.  I do usually colour this one with Spectrum Noirs but decided to do some water colouring instead.  I love the effect and just for a bit of added interest I used glossy accents on the tea service.

Wolves In Time

Good Morning bloggers, it's Saturday morning so It's time for a new challenge today at Allsorts.
This week is my turn to host and I would like to see 'CAS - Clean & Simple'

The image for my card reminds me of my pups, they are nearly 5 months old now and are growing very fast.  The photo below are my dogs, Flint which is the Rough Collie who is 10 years old and then the pups Kit and Nova, Alaskan Malamutes.  I embossed a piece of card then coloured with Distress Inks and basically that was it. I loved using the image which my crafting buddy Sally sent me quite a long time ago, but I have tracked one down on Amazon and I'm going to order it now.
