WOYWW and more wedding cards

You did not seriously expect a clean desk two weeks in a row now, did you? When I got home from school yesterday the postie had delivered my whiff of Joy Spring kit. What is a girl to do? Of course I had to mount and stamp immediately! So on my desk you will see the first coloured image with all the papers and embellies I am considering to use.
And to the left of that, my Copics at the ready. Waiting to get to work on the other stamped images. They are absolutely gorgeous, I am so happy that school closes tomorrow for mid-term break, a whole four days of crafting awaits! Hop on over to Julia's blog at (http://stamping-ground.blogspot.com )to have a peek at everybody else's desks,

I did have some time to play over the weekend. I made two more wedding cards for friends. It seems to be wedding season at the moment. The first one uses a sketch from Mojo Monday ( a very old one) Cardstock is Bazzil, Dp is Making Memories, the ribbon is from Realy Reasonable Ribbon which I stamped. The image was a freebie with a magazine a while ago.Bling is from my stash.

The next one uses the LOTV image again and the same MM paper as the previous one (I am not sure why it looks so different in this pic. The ribbon and dragonfly are from my stash.

I hope you all have a fantastic week, I am a happy girl because I get to play with my new stash and there are some new orange paper in my LSS that is calling my name. (keep me a few pieces Audrey please!)

Sketch Saturday and LOTV

I have been incredibly busy these last few weeks. It is silly season at school, meaning that everything is happening at once. Between marking tests, attending school functions and reading my girls' blogs there has been virtually no time for crafting. I was going mad and becoming grumpy, so this morning I decided to set the marking aside and make some cards. I am feeling a lot less grumpy, but a lot more stressed about those tests waiting for me, oh well, some you win, some you lose.
The first card is one I made for a friend who asked me to make a card for a 21st Birthday. It is for a young man who loves playing guitar and loves cats too! Not easy, I used two digi stamps. The rocker boy is from Squigglefly and the cat was a freebie some time ago, I can't remember where I got it.

I used the fab sketch from Sketch Saturday ( http://sketchsaturday.blogspot.com/ ) All cardstock is Bazzil and the Dp is from Kaisercraft. The wooden buttons I found at my local Habby shop. The image was coloured with Copics and the guitar and his shoes were given the Dimentional Glaze treatment.

The next card is for the LOTV challenge. They are asking for your favourite colours ( http://liliofthevalleythursdaychallenge.blogspot.com/ ) If you had to ask me what my favourite colour is, I would answer - colour! I love any colour, even black, so this was a real challenge. I went through my photo's of cards over the years and discovered that this combination popped up very often. Cardstock is Bazzil, Dp is Melissa Francis. The flowers are Prima and some I found in my Habby shop and coloured with Glimmer Mist. The lace is from my mom's sewing box and the ribbon from my stash. The half pearls I bought from Paola and the image was coloured with my Copics and her wings glitterified with Stickles.

If I do not go and mark those tests right now, I will never finish before tomorrow and then there will be a whole lot of disappointed girls, so better I go mark now.

Have a great week everybody, see you soon.

OOOPS - Not LOTV Challenge - New beginnings and a few Christmas cards.

The challenge over at LOTV ( http://liliofthevalleythursdaychallenge.blogspot.com/ ) Is "New beginnings", You can interpret that any way you please - new baby, new year, or simply new stash as I have done. I used my new LOTV stamp (Edited to add: My good friend Paola pointed out that this is NOT a LOTV stamp, but from Kanban. Hanging my head in shame, that will teach me to look at the stamp again before I blog. Thanks Paola ) and my new Martha Stewart punch.
The dp is Melissa Francis, the cardstock is Bazzil and the flowers are from my stash, the image was coloured with my beloved Copics and given the Stickle treatment.

Here is a close up of the image, hoping you van see the glittery wings, wand and tiara.

Next is a couple of Christmas Cards that I never got around to showing you. All are very Clean and Simple. No time for elaborate cards this year. All images are digi images from Just Inklined and Bec's place, coloured with my Copics. Cardstock is Bazzil and everything else from my stash.

Don't you just love that pointsettia?

Thats it from me for today, I have to finish my potato bake for tonight's 'braai' (barbeque) at friends. Have a lovely day, see you soon.
