Sarah Kaye stamp with cat..

Being a cat lover I just had to have this Sarah Kaye stamp with the wee girl holding her cat. I have coloured with Promarkers and used the Craftwork cards sentiment as a flower at the side of the card. I have also entered this into Sarah Hurely challenge blog (http://sarahhurleychallenges.blogspot.com/2010/10/challenge-13-colouring-sponsored-by.html ). I keep promising myself that I will get more crafting time and take part in the many challenge blogs that are out there, maybe one day....

New Challenge Blog - worth a look...

I am delighted to say that one of my favourite stamp designers, Kerry from Ladybug Crafts Ink, has created a new challenge blog (http://ladybugscraftsinkchallengeblog.blogspot.com/). To start things off, Kerry has offered the lovely Magnum stamp and goodies as shown on the sidebar. Pop along to her challenge blog for a chance to win. Her stamps were shown earlier this week on Create and Craft, well done Kerry, so give yourself a chance to win one of these stamps and see just how lovely they are to work with. I have posted a few of my creations below using the Nikki stamp and hopefully a few more will follow with my Create and Craft purchases!

Bright and cheery....

Nikki from Ladybug Crafts Ink... I have been trying to upload my pics, and whilst going through my photos I came across the above Nikki stamp from Ladybug Crafts Ink. This can be used for so many occasions. I actually made this card at a cardmaking class and have adopted the style for many other creations as it is so easy to make but very effective. Hope you like it...

Ladybug Crafts Ink Blog Hop....

This card has been made using one of my favourite stamps which is available from Ladybug Crafts Ink. I visited my local Craft shop, Craftworld in Glasgow, (http://www.craftologyonline.co.uk/ ) and seen the cutest cat stamp of a cat in a cat flap, I actually laughed in the shop. A few days later they held a demo day and a very friendly lady, Kerry, was taking part and showing her selection of stamps, and there, was Magnum the cat stamp. I gushed how lovely her stamps were and promptly purchased a few, Robyn in the puddle being one of them (Kerry thankfully suggested the glamour dust glitter and I am now using this on all my christmas cards!). Kerry's stamps cover so many occasions and stamp beautifully. At the moment there is a blog hop starting from her home page blog (http://ladybugcraftsink.blogspot.com/) which offers an opportunity of winning some of her latest stamps, please look and take part, there is always a chance of being a winner.... (p.s. this ends on Sunday 17th October but look out for the next hop!)

Always late...

Phew, time goes by so fast, I have made a few cards recently, but not as many as I would like, I seem to wait until the last minute, make and give away! I really must take time to take a photograph and add to the blog, or the options are, make them in plenty of time (!), make two and keep one (!!) or just photograph it! Any suggestions? I have added this card as this was made for a friend who had an operation and I wanted something with nice calming colours for her. I stamped the image on glossy card and then heat embossed, it looked really shiny, hoping that if she was a bit groggy the sentiment would shine at her LOL. I have also entered this into an open topic challenge this week over at Stamp, Stamp and Doodle Staurday blogspot - http://ssdschallenge.blogspot.com/. I will try to keep that promise of uploading, honest.
