Clarity stamp 1st challenge....

This is my card that I am going to enter for the 1st ever Clarity stamp challenge.... I love this kits its from in the classroom with Barbara Gray ..... and I must say I was hoping to play along with the challenge.. then someone asked me to make a Golden wedding anniversary card... now I even had excuse to play.... lol.. not that I ever need an excuse to play... lol.... I have had a turmoil with this card... as I wasn't sure if I should colour the flowers or not... I even asked on facebook.... and most came back not to colour.. just leave as it is... so I did....

My exploding box ...

hi everyone
I have been ultra busy... Daughters birthday on Wed.... so been playing loads with my cricut imagine.... and I have made a fab...(well I think fab box) off me cricut imagine JT art cart and Ultimate creative series... and I have decided to see if I can find some challenges to place this box into.....

I have decided to enter this into cards Galore challenge blog... as its an exploding box I hope its allowed... its the correct theme.. one for the men.... http://cardsgalorechallenges.blogspot.ie/

while i was looking threw challenges found button it one....

While looking threw some challenges today I found Button it challenge on http://www.dccfriendschallenges.net/    I haven't used buttons for a while now... and I was making this card to night and wondered what to put in the middle of the flowers... the I remembered the challenge.. and got my pink buttons out to add to the flowers.... so this is going into the challenge at craftycardscrappers forum... something new... either bought new or something you have never used... so I used the digi I bought ages ago from http://dragonslairdesigns.com/shop/   coloured her with my promarkers.... my friend Hetty howes http://www.craftsuprint.com/heather-howes/   made me a digi signature to put on me cards.. this is the 1st time I have tried it... what do you think...????
papers are from stash on comp.... swirl is what I bought from Sharon Duncan off facebook... its a fab swirl.... well that me done....

card made with my cricut imagine

I made this card with my cricut imagine .... and wild card cartridge and Lori's garden cartridge.... the card base and sentiment are off the wild card cartridge.... the patterns flowers and everything else are taken off the Lori's garden cartridge... this is why I love my imagine... one bit of 12 by 12 piece of white card turns into this wonderful card....
I am going to enter this into Cards Galore challenge... its an 'Anything Goes'
challenge... and I love this card and don't know of any cricut or imagine challenges... I might have to find some... as I love using my imagine and could do with a few more excuses to keep using it loads... lol

A time to reflect with visible image stamps....

hi everyone
I got some great stamps in the sale with Visible image stamps... I decided I would try some of the stamps out and play along with their challenge .... a time to reflect... here....   http://visibleimage.blogspot.co.uk/2013/01/time-to-reflect-visible-image-january.html

there are 3 of the new stamps I have bought... I tried to do the reflection in the water type thing... but with it being a framed stamp I found it hard to do.... so I stamped live your dreams across the middle of the refection.... brayered round the edges and over the reflected image before I added the sentiment... the swirl round the outside is one of my new stamps from visible image stamps.. I so love this stamp... I used big and juicy ink pads... so that is some of my stamps played with... its just a shame I had to go back to work .... lol

I received this stamp in the post today... and I love it.... its a Penny Black stamp... I got it off ebay... for a very good price... I had a baby boys1st Christmas card to do as an order... so I made this little snowman up... and I must say I love it..... He flew together straight away.... the gloves are off my cricut imagine.... glittered and white gel Pen....

the stamp is from penny black collection.... I stamped him out.... added promarkers for the colours... and then glittered him..... I have also embellished this card with 2 little mitts I made them on my cricut ...added glitter and wrote on Baby's 1's Christmas on the mitts.... the name has been added.... and a merry Christmas peel off .... I am hoping the lass who ordered likes it....
