Wags 'n Whiskers Challenge - Flowers

Hope your having a great week... at last I have a card to share! This week over at the Wags 'n Whiskers blog the lovely Jeanette has the perfect challenge:

April Showers bring May Flowers ~ Use flowers on your project.

We have new release next Friday, 7th May :-) .... so you have plenty of time to play along with us as this challenge will remain open for two weeks.

To play our challenges you must use a Wags 'n Whiskers Rubber Stamp.... or...... Digi :-) as your main image to be entered into the prize drawing. Don't forget you can grab our gorgeous Crissy Armstrong rubber stamps at 25% off right now!

If you don't have any Wags 'n Whiskers, then it's time to go shopping. You can pick up your rubber goodness HERE.... or for almost instant gratification.... Digi's HERE.

Once again, one lovely participant will WIN a Wags 'n Whiskers Rubber Stamp of your choice.

I would also like to thank our wonderful guests Bree and Debbie for the fabulous cards they have created during their guest term. You girls have been awesome!

Joining us as guests for May and June are two more talented gals... Melanie Holtz from Canada and Renata van Miltenburg from The Netherlands. Welcome to the team!

Ok, now a little about my card. I didn't have time to play last week and really wanted to use Bree's fabulous sketch below! The cutie image is called Scooting by and she is coloured with Copic Markers and a little Prismacolor Pencil with sansodor. I find these two mediums work so well together. The papers are from one of Bo Bunny's newest collection Sophie. I just love the mix of colours and the zesty orange. I used my SU Corner Rounder and my flowers are Shapeabilities by Spellbinder. Of course a few 4mm flat back pearls had to go somewhere! lol

Hope you can play along with us and stay tuned for news of our new release very soon. Our sneak peaks start next Wednesday with a blog hop on release day, Friday 7th May!

See you Sunday for the next High Hopes Challenge,

Hugs,

High Hopes Challenge - Good enough to Eat!

Yay, it's Sunday and time for a new challenge over at the High Hopes blog!

This weeks challenge is hosted by our talented gal Jeanne. Jeanne's has a tasty challenge for us this week called - Good Enough to Eat. She would like you to create a food related card or project. Take that any way you want.... food image, recipe cards, whatever! :-)

Remember to enter our challenges you need to use High Hopes Rubber Stamps!!!

The random winner of this challenge will receive the below stamp - Summer's Sweetness as featured on Jeanne's beautiful card this week.

When I see Jeanne's challenge I knew straight away that I wanted to use Mildred as she is one of my many favourite High Hopes stamps. Even better when my delivery of Kaisercraft arrived Friday I quickly grabbed the Tea at Elsies Paper Pad for my stash. The colours in this paper pad are just gorgeous and full of pretty designs. This is the first time I have used Kaisercraft paper and was really impressed by the variety and textures of papers in the collection. There are also 4 pages of handy die-cuts which are perfect for cardmaking.

Mildred has been coloured with Copic markers with a little Prisma pencil to finish. I have also added some of my favourite flat back pearls... I just feel my card is never quite finished with out them.

If your looking to purchase High Hopes stamps I have a fantastic selection over in my store.

Don't see the High Hopes stamp you are looking for in my store?
I am placing an order with them in the next few days so send me an email and i'll add it to my order :-)

Have a wonderful Sunday!

Hugs,

High Hopes Challenge 71

Hope your having a wonderful weekend! Our new challenge has just started over at the High Hopes blog and this week is hosted by our talented guest Debby. Debby would like you to use at least 2 High Hopes stamps on your card or project.... sentiments don't count :-)

The random winner of this challenge will receive the below stamp - Andrea's Kitties as featured on Debby's fabulous frame card this week.
I have also used the great sketch by Tina to join in with the challenge over at Everybody-Art-Challenge. As you can see I flipped the sketch.

The cute images on my card are High Hopes Hay Ride and the little rooster is taken from the stamp Funny Farm. This stamp is actually an animal stack so just stamped the rooster and then cut him out to add to my scene. My images are coloured with Copic Markers. The gorgeous bright papers are from the Cosmo Cricket paper pad Garden Variety.

Be sure to check out the fabulous samples from the rest of the team. We hope you can play along with us too! If your looking to purchase High Hopes Stamps I have a fantastic selection over in my store.

The sweet image on my card is new release Tiny Dancer. The papers is from the Basic Grey Pad Euphoria. I used the great sketch below from last weeks Sketch Saturday Challenge. For the stripe design I added some plain blue ribbon and then added some white lace over the top so the pretty detail would be seen. My Tiny Dancer is coloured with Copic Markers and I have also used the blender pen. As always to finish with some flat back pearls too!

Don't forget that all of the new release stamps (plus all of the previously released stamps) are available by clicking HERE.

Have a wonderful Friday... looks like we are in for another beautiful bright day!!!

Pollycraft Critters and Cogs


Today is Pollycrafts Critters and Cogs release and Bunny Zoe's Crafts is excited to be sponsoring their challenge this week. Not only that but myself and Zoe got to play with a couple of the images from the new designs :-) Danni didn't want to miss out and coloured a few too.

The sweet digi image used on my card today is called Spring. Spring has been coloured with Prismacolour pencils with sansodor and paper stumps to blend. The gorgeous papers are from the Fancy Pants Roadshow kit. I have used Kraft card as the base and used the great sketch from Friday Sketchers to layer up my papers. The pretty punched edge was created using the Martha Stewart Heart lace edger punch. Other products used are heart pins, 5mm round pearl pins and 5mm gems.

Here are my girls creations. Please pop on over and visit Zoe at her own blog here.



Be sure to pop on over to the Pollycraft Challenge Blog as they have a huge celebration going on!

Hope your having a great bank holiday!

Introducing....

Mag to the Bunny Zoe's Crafts team! I am so excited that Mag will be joining my team. If you haven't visited Mag at her blog before... it is simply a must! Her work is... AWESOME! I am still pinching myself that this fabulous gal said yes :-)

Here Mag tells you a little about herself:

My name is Magali, Mag on Blogland. I live in the south of France with Vincent and my little child. I'm in love with inks and stamps since I was a little girl, and began colouring my stamped images with Copics 4 months ago. Now I'm totally addicted to stamps and Copics !!! I colour every day and just can't stop... :D

Here is Mag's first Bunny Zoe's DT card. Isn't it a beauty?
Mag has used the sweet Mimosa Chicken, New Bo Bunny from the Sophie Collection and Martha Stewart Edger Heart Lace Punch. Don't forget that all these products are currently 10% off!!!

As you can see today I thought I would have a little go at creating a LO. I am really pleased with how it turned out and can see that it can be addictive as I want to make more! The adorable image used on my card is called Tiny Dancer. You can see that I have teamed her up with a picture of my Tiny Dancer :-) Zoe would have been 5 in this picture.

Tiny Dancer is coloured with Copic Markers with a little Prisma pencil. The gorgeous papers are the new Bo Bunny Jazmyne. I sell these stunning papers as a collection over in my store. The large winter roses by Prima are so beautiful aren't they? I just couldn't wait to grab some for myself when they arrived earlier in the week. I have also used a little rhinestone bling and 4mm/8mm flat back pearls. I might try and take the picture of my LO again later as the colours seem a little washed out on the main picture above.

Thought I would also share this cute pic of my girls and this was Danni's first Christmas. Can you believe my little one will be 5 next week?

The blog hop will remain open all weekend and will close on Monday 12pm GMT/7amEST. Don't forget there is also still time to help us Spread the word and be entered into the drawing to win the full release - 8 stamps here!!!

You next stop is Niki Estes. I can't wait to see what this talented gal has created myself!

Have a wonderful weekend and happy hopping!

Hugs,

Wags 'n Whiskers Let's Play - Sneak Peeks Day 2

Hope you are enjoying our sneaks :-) I am back today with another sample to share and today features the soon to be released stamp Slam Dunk. This fabulous image is by our talented artist Cris de Lara. She has done an awesome job with the movement in each of our sporty designs.

My fun guy is coloured with Copic Markers and a little Prisma Pencil to finish. I created a shaped card to join in with our challenge this week over at A Spoon Full of Sugar. My card was created using nestabilities. It made a great change to make something different than my usual 6x6" Square cards.

Be sure to visit the Wags 'n Whiskers blog tomorrow where our blog hop kicks off at 12:00 EST/5am GMT. As always there will be prizes at random stops :-) Let' Play will be released tomorrow, Friday 2nd April at 7am EST/12:00pm GMT.
