Monkeh/scrummystash cafe challenge

What can I say other than I love my monkeh! I have had fun playing with him tonight. The challenge at Scrummystash cafe is to add decorative borders/edges to your project. I've used Pirate Monkey - from Sugar Nellie, Flower & stem die cut by Craftwork Cards, watercolour pencils and inking/doodling a border around the flower die cut and the card itself. For the card below I also used stamps by paperartsy. Ooh and glitter glue on both.

DCM challenge - it's all in the game

Tiddlywinks, playing cards, dominos, jig saw pieces…….the list goes on and I’m sure that most of us have a drawer somewhere that has the odd one or two of these lying around in.
Well now’s your chance to use them because I dare you to make a card using some of those pieces.
Oh and no, you don’t need to throw a double six to start playing.

Have had a go at this challenge today.


















I used a black square card blank, childs jigsaw pieces painted purple, Tim Holtz stamp, black stazon, Paperartsy stamp for the background on lilac bazzill bling, black bloom and lilac brad.

Sunday Stamper challenge

Hurrah! A Sunday Stamper challenge that I can manage! (Haven't had appropriate stamps for the last few :-(

I made a tag for this challenge which is "I'm a laydeeee" (or rather include a lady image on your creation).

I used mountboard cut into a tag shape which I coloured with shabby shutters distress ink. I then stamped a pattern all over the tag using the same ink colour. Next I stamped my beautiful laydee with black stazon. I added a beautiful rub on (Basic Grey), stamped the laydee again in shabby shutters near the top of the tag, than stamped the back of the tag with the pattern stamp using black stazon. Edged the whole thing with black ink, added an eyelet and fibres and it's finished!
