Spring is Sprung...

November 14th 2014

Had some fun making this double journal page for November! I used a great stamp set from JessicaLynnOriginal "Enjoying the Sounds of Spring" - I think I used nearly every stamp in the set - there are some great tiny stamps like the butterfly & ladybird that were just perfect for "dotting" around the pages!

I stamped Brentwood on card and coloured him and then fussy cut and added to the page. All the other stamping was direct to my Dylusions Sprays background. I made a flower stencil myself with a Silhouette design - I cut it from transparency and sponged ink over it.

 

 

If you haven't visited the JessicaLynnOriginal Store recently you really should check it out - a new look and lots of great stamps as well as a few cute digis!! And remember the JLO Store exclusively sells Jasmine Becket-Griffith Stamps - I have a great "non traditional" xmas card to share soon with a Jasmine Becket-Grifith stamp!

Thanksgiving/Thankful Challenge at Cardz 4 Guyz...

November 13th 2014

My second weeks card as a Guest Designer at the Cardz 4 Guyz Challenge Blog! Theme of Thanksgiving or Thankful and as we don't celebrate thanksgiving here in Australia I've gone with a theme of "Thank You" for my card using a great Brentwood Owl Stamps from JessicaLynnOriginal! Card base is a Silhouette design. I'm loving having to think of "masculine" cards - good to have up your sleeve!

Christmas Time Stamps from Gecko Galz

Sharing a couple of simple CAS style Xmas cards - a great way to make lots of cards in one sitting - perfect if you are running behind with creating your handmade cards this year!!

 

 

I always love the effect when I do cards this way and I do like to have a quick technique for creating cards at short notice!

 

These gorgeous images are from the November New Release digi images from Gecko Galz "Christmas Time Stamps" - they are very classy images to use.

Cardz 4 Guyz

November 5th 2014

I'm a Guest Designer at the Cardz 4 Guyz challenge blog this month so here's my first week's challenge card - theme of "Toys for the Boys" - would love to see what male themed creation you can make for this challenge!!

I've used Brentwood Owl yet again - LOL I just love him & this image is so versatile - he's available at the JessicaLynnOriginal Store!!

Patterned papers are digital and I got them from Etsy and the computer screen & wording were cut on my Silhouette - just love that cutting machine!!!

Stay tuned for next week as I will have a new creation for the new challenge!

Santa Claus is Coming to Town.......

November 2nd 2014

A new month which means a new Readers Art Quest at the Unruly Paperarts Blog and this month our prompt is "Santa Claus is Coming to Town" - perfect as Xmas is fast drawing near!!!

 

I couldn't resist using "Brentwood Owl" from JessicaLynnOriginal - a great little freebie available in the store! I added a JLO Poinsettia image to his t-shirt - coloured him in xmas colours and added a xmas hat from a collage sheet which I purchased at an Etsy store.

My journal page background was sprayed with Dylusions sprays and I made the holly stencil on my Cameo Silhouette and sprayed with white Dylusions - love the effect. Xmas tree is a Silhouette cut out. Wording was stamped with Stazon ink. A great fun xmas page!
