And this one for colleague's new baby daughter using Blonde Moments, loads of ribbons and K&Co alpha stamp set.
I've also got a brand new project online at the Wedding Crafter using gorgeous vintage goodies. Delish!
A simple little card really, all papers are Basic Grey Periphery, sizzlits tags, circle punch, papermania brads, hero arts alpha and embroidery thread. I didn't have any fancy teabags with strings on or pretty packets so I made a little pouch to keep the teabag safe with one of those officey style windey-roundey-closey-things!
I kept them with the vague thought that if I ever passed the stamps on to anyone else they might come in handy. Yeah right! Like I'm going to let my beloved AL stamps go anywhere! Anyways, chopped up each side of plastic makes a fabaroo see through card blank for the best price of all... nothing! 
I added handcut paper from the K&Co Addison range and a couple of brads. I used those sheets of sticky dots to attech the swirly bits to the acetate and they hardly even show on the reverse. The paper is all sparkly and lovely in the light - what little of it there is as its blowing a hooly out there and tipping it down.
Other news from the north east, well our car is finally dying, poor old Punto's done us well but is feeling every hour of her 12 years of hard graft and is crying oil. Any top tips on buying second hand cars? It's such a confusing world especially when you just want something to get you there as cheap as possible rather than be flash! I'll keep you updated on the exciting car saga...lol
Supplies are K&Co papers, a key from my wonderful Rak from Melonie, Ikea paper string, a sheet from a book, distress ink and a faux stitches, I'd like to say that I planned them to be like that but I've mucked up the tension on the sewing machine and haven't quite got it sorted out yet.
The Design Team really came up trumps, and we're really lucky to have the talented Sue Hyde with us as a guest for a couple of weeks. Have a looksie here!
How gorgeous are those little keys and the wood panels are just so cool, I can't wait to have a play. I'm a very lucky girl. Thats going to have to wait a couple of days though as I have other, boring, non-crafty stuff to do. Such is life.
Did you watch Heroes Series one... Recognise the composition? It was the first thing we thought of once we knew it was going to rain.
Here's a piccy of some Notebooks I made as stocking fillers which I can share now. I did make quite a few things but some of the photos came out so badly...pah. Still, we're getting an extra 2 minutes per day of light now according to bbc sunrise and sunset times, wooot!
And finally, I have a tradition not to set New Years Resolutions, which is why it's ok that I'm late for DCM... again! It may be a New Year but some things never change. Fab cards on the blog as always and hopefully I'll have time to come and see your gorgeous creations.
Here's to a happy, healthy and creative 2008.
The sentiment is inside the card like the Pirate card below but you can't really see that in the photo, I'll try and get a better one in the daylight tomorrow. Stamps are new Autumn Leaves, scrummy! I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas :)
This is my pirate princess creation! Other exciting news, I ran out and got Simply Cards and Papercraft yesterday as I'm in as a runner up in Card Designer of the Year 2007! A huge congratulations to Kim who's the winner and Sarah who's alongside me as a runner up! What a small world eh!
Also I've been tagged by Kate! Thank you :)
Penny Black alpha stamps here for the congratulations, whispers colouring pens (I'm sure theres a more grown up name but hey...), doodled borders and Pink Petticoat paper. I didn't feel scared doodling direct onto the PP paper cause I knew I could always print another sheet if I mucked it up! Didn't cut the letters individually this time though.
DCWV paper, cuttlebug snowflake embossing die, bosscut reindeer and Studio G sentiment stamp.
I used Scrapworks Ethan Kate papers, I love the colours, ribbon from Ribbon Oasis and a Hero Arts Pattern Alphabet stamp set in brown onto plain turquoise card and cut out.
I used DCWV pockets full of posies paper (cool how the name matches the dare eh! well they do say small things plaese small minds lol) Rob and Bob clips and eyelets that Ive had so long I can't for the life of me remember where they came from. The congratulations is a hero arts clear stamp and the font for the 5 blessings is Bosshole.
I firstly started mucking around, (or is that creativly experimenting!) with adirondack inks to make some backgrounds. I covered an A4 cutting mat with cling film and rubbed cranberry, denim and eggplant inkpads over the plastic. I then squooshed a bit of water on with a plant sprayer and rubbed the cardstock in the beautifully coloured puddle. Its a messy technique but the blended colours you get are wonderful. I stamped the Sassafrass Lass brackets and flower onto smaller pieces of the inky card and cut them out, making the flower into a ribbon slide. I used a small imagine text stamp (havent a clue of the manufacturer of this one) over and over to create the strip at the bottom and inked the edges. The big Imagine is a Heidi Swopp stamp from ATDML and its framed by the scrummy brackets. I used Rafia in place of ribbon for a change. I also made up some matching coloured alcohol ink backgrounds but didn't end up using them. I love that the adirondack range is all colour coordinated like that so you can use different inks and they still match.
Now that I know its arrived safely I can share a piccy of this card I did a few weeks ago for Keryn's Birthday. Its all made with stamps Ive shared before and Dovecraft Paper.
