Tiddly Inks Frame the Moment anniversary-Release Day 1 !!!

Morning peeps!
Oh I cannot tell you how excited I am about todays post!! I am on the edge of my seat typing because I keep smiling and fidgeting with excitement!!!


Today kicks off the 2 year anniversary 'Frame The Moment' celebrations from Christy. There are awesome creations from the Tiddly Inkers and even more awesome new images from Christy :) So don't forget to go over to Christy's blog for more details!!


So, super exciting new releases first........
Wryn - Fairy Wishes                             and...      Wryn - Picture Perfect


squeeeeeeeeee!! aren't they just adorable!!!! 


Now the make at the top uses Wryn- Fairy Wishes.....and my heart frame !!  :) 
(..yup...somehow a doodled frame inspired by some of Christy's little roses was magically turned into a heart frame for you guys by christy...there are no end to her powers as I cannot draw for toffee!!!!! )
And here it is for you to all download :) all you need to do is click on it, then right click and save. 

I hope you enjoy it because I am still pinching myself as to how cute it came out on my birthday card for my niece!! I merged Wryn Fairy Wishes onto it and then cut it all out, mounted it onto a piece of cardstock from my DCWV nannas nursery boy stack on foam pads and added LilyBoo's name to it using my tim Holtz chip block alphabet,its so very sweet, I know LilyBoo will love it.


My second card share for today is just the super cute little fairy all on her own!!

I went back to my stroke only New Leaf  paper pad for this one! I knew they would be perfick for this little cutie. I cut around her with my deckled rectangle nestie, leaving out her little wand when I popped it through my big shot so it was popping over the edge of the rectangle and added some fibres to the back of it with some glossy accents.I inked all the edges of the layers on this card, I really love the effect it gives.


I coloured her up to match my papers and then added glossy accents to her roses and blue glimmer chalk to her little wings . A little lace and then a Tim Holtz vintage lace border over the top just finished her off nicely. The stamped sentiment is LOTV.


So, thats me for today! Please enjoy my little frame!! and thank you so much for popping in on me :)

papers- Craft The Year Away from Funky Hand

promarkers-

lipstick, berry red and crimson-romper suit

Morning Peeps!!!

Its Friday morning and I can't wait for the weekend to begin because Little Mo breaks up from school toady and the easter holidays start! Next week I have Mo, Boo and Jake and I can't wait, it seems like so long since we all had some holiday fun and I love Aunty Duty having my niece and nephew here :)

So onto today's little share!! one of my lovely friends at work is having a little boy in June and asked me if I could make her a little book for her to start recording some memories in.

Then I extracted a little more info on what she wanted from Gabby :) and she said she fancied a union jack kinda theme with red,white and blue pages. I was rather excited about this idea and knew right away which little stamp I wanted to use! Baby blanket from LOTV is one of my oldie but goodie stamps and one of my first ever LOTV buys!! just look how super cute he is!!!! :)

I paper pieced my little baby blanket up a bit too. I stamped him on a scrap of the blue to get his blanket and then printed out a googled union jack flag for his hat! Love it!! I just stamped on the flag and cut it out.

I knew exactly what I wanted to do and hit my Funky Hand Craft the Year Away papercraft factory for my papers ( this way I have an endless supply of the same papers and if Gabby ever needs a few more pages I can click and print them right away :) yey!!! )

I made some union jack bunting and then my Tim Holtz chip block alphabet to add the word 'BABY'. I used my SU pennants punch to make them and I have to admit, I love it!! its too cute!! I added some thread and tied little knots to each top corner of each pennant,then a little red button to each end and attached it with my hot glue gun. 

And here's a piccy of the front of the book with its protective cover on. I cut a clear cover for it from some clear acetate. One for the front and one for the back too just to protect it a bit. I also stamped a little baby sentiment onto a tag as a little extra pressie from me :) I love this sentiment. The light kept bouncing back off it a bit but it gives you an idea of the cover to protect it anyway :)

The cover bases are made with a thin chipboard my friend Shirley sent me from america a while ago, its fantastic stuff! it was just going to be thrown away so I am so pleased Shirley rescued it!!!

The challenges I am entering with this jubilee baby book are .....

Lili's Little Fairies- Anything Goes

Simon Says Stamp- Anything Goes

MMCS- Stamp It

Right, off to get myself ready for work and hope for a quick day :) :)

Thank you for popping in on me

Saturated Canary Challenge 14- Thinking Of You...

Lala from-Krista Smith's Saturated Canary Digi's.

***this is my 2nd post for today so if you are looking for Christy's birthday post,scroll down:)***

Afternoon Peeps!!

I am back with my Saturated Canary Challenge post! This week our challenge theme is....

Thinking Of You

I used one of Krista's gorgeous new releases, Lala, for my card. I just love how she looks so thoughtful and her hair is just devine. I coloured her up with my promarkers and then used some of my MME papers for the card. The pennants are made with my SU pennants punch and the letters are from my Tim Holtz chip block strip (...yeah...again!! he he eh!! I may be addicted!!!)

I am very lucky to have 2 gorgeous little sisters that Lala always reminds me of. My sisters are called Colette and Priscilla and I love them so much. I am super excited because my Dad is coming home from the seychelles at the end of june and is bringing my littlest sister with him too :) :) :) I can't wait as I haven't seen her in person since she was 10. Dad moved to the seychelles when my baby sis was just 4, she is 16 now so I need to get a whole lot of big sis cuddles in!!! sadly my stepmum won't be coming and I miss her so much too so this card will be going off in the mail to her whilst Dad and Colette are here to cheer her up because she misses my Dad terribly when he comes here to the UK to visit.

This is my fav picture of my little sisters and my stepmum together...

So all you need to do to join in with us over on the Saturated Canary Challenge Blog is get your fav Krista Smith digi or Simply Sassy stamp and make a 'Thinking Of You' creation to share with us :)

Don't forget to pop in on the challenge blog to see what my gorgeous teamies have created. they make me drool every week so I think its only fair you should drool with me :)

Happy Birthday Christy xxxx

Image-Pinky from Tiddly Inks

Papers- Rainbow Polkadots from Funky Hand.

Morning Peeps!

This mornings post from me is all for my gorgeous Boss Lady Christy from Tiddly Inks. Happy Birthday my sweet and lovely Christy, love you tonnes hun xxxxxxx

For my card for Christy I just had to use Pinky. She is the image that led me to Tiddly Inks and thus Christy. From the moment I bought Pinky I have been completely hooked on them!

Red and black are Christy's fav colours so they just had to get some usage too..and those Tim Holtz tattered floral flowers had to be used with some gorgeous black bling for centres, Tim Holtz chip block strip for the letters for Christy's name. 

I mounted Pinky on some red and black deckled rectangle nesty cuts and then topped those onto a doily that my friend Hayley gave me last week ( I am so getting some more of those!!). The gorgeous crushed velvet ribbon was a gift from Ruth and oooooh you just have to stroke it loads!! :)

So thats Christy's birthday card. Christy hun, if you are peeking in this morning I still need to mail this card so it will be late but like having a second birthday when it gets to you :)  :)

Now before you go off to read some more blogs don't forget to pop over to the challenge blog because this morning we will be kicking off with some awesome creations for our awesome Christy from the Tiddly Inkers and the chance to win a gift certificate for the Tiddly Inks store!!! wohoooooo!!!

Well, I have to get my butt into gear now and get ready for work. Mo is so ready for the end of term tomorrow, he is tired out and beginning to look a little pale so I know he is ready for a little holiday and some mummy time :)

Tiddly Inks challenge 83- Birthday Bash!!

Image- Lilli Claire- Party Time from Tiddly Inks

Papers- Rainbow Polkadots from Funky Hand

Morning Peeps!!!

Its Tiddly Tuesday and its a kinda exciting one as we are getting ready for a bit of a celebration month for April...due to it being our gorgeously talented Boss Lady's birthday....very soon!!!!

So what do the Tiddly Inkers want to see from you over on the Tiddly Inks Challenge blog this challenge? we want you to.....

Create a BIRTHDAY card using any Tiddly Inks image!!

Simples!!! but totally and utterly fun! I love love loved this challenge! 

I was inspired by a few things for this one. The first thing was Christy's birthday, I went for her fav colours for this card which are red and black. The second thing I was inspired by was our very own crazy talented Jen's Sketch from a couple of weeks ago, I loved it so much ( thank you Jen...mwah xxxx ). Then there was of course the dots...ooooh I love dots so much!! so I of course had to head staright for my Rainbow Polkadots from Funky Hand, I love those too!!!! so I guess you could say this is a card full of love :)

I kept Lilli Claire quite mono using my promarkers, cool grey 1-5 and reds- lipstick, ruby and crimson. I really do like the effect of cool grey on skin, it looks yummy. The little dots on her skirt are red glitter pen, topped with a glaze pen so they 'pop' out! cute! she is also surrounded by starburst pen glittery dots but man they did not want to show up,grrr!!

Then I had some fun with my big shot making some yummy tim holtz tattered florals flowers, I added a teeny papermania punch to the middles too and a yummy swooshy thingy to sit behind them!!

The 'happy birthday' sentiment is from Funky Hands Now Thats Funky cd. It was one of my first funky hand buys and I still love it!!...see more love!! :)

OK so that's me for this morning, I have a tonne of stuff to do today before I take my mum to the hospital at lunch time. She is not doing so good with the pain from her spinal op, so its off for a good check over for her! hopefully they can sort her out a bit!

Please don't forget to pop on over to the Tiddly Inks Challenge blog and see what my gorgeous teamies have got to show you all too!

Please remember to check out the rest of the girls creations with their digi requests too, you can find them all listed in this post on Krista's blog.


So my request was for an Usherette as my little brother ( ...and his band of fabby employees and a whole tonne of volunteers!!) are going to renovate the ritz cinema here in Lincoln! its a huge job as such a lot needs doing and they are awesome undertaking it so I wanted to make my little brother a little surprise card with a movie theme for the start of the work ahead.

I printed her off as fast as lightening and got busy!!! I used my promarkers to colour her up and then masked her off so I could get a distress inked background. Around her are dots of red,gold and blue copic spica glitter pens, they sparkle sooo pretty IRL.

I merged her into a film strip.png and fund some tickets on google that I printed out onto white paper, inked and then screwed up and inked in a darker colour..that was fun!!!
The absolutely awesome movie themed dp was a freebie from Create with TLC. I think it is the most yummy paper for movie cards!! I love it!!


I also added a Tim Holtz weathered clock die cut and some Tim Holtz chip block alphabet to make the 'Movie Night' sentiment, which I then gave a good coating of crackle glaze! 


ooooh I love this Usherette!! don't forget to leave a comment to be in with the chance to win her for yourself!!! :)
