Sarah Hurley 365

Happy Sunday Morning All. It’s been a little quiet here on my blog but unfortunately my little ones have both been poorly (again). So amongst other things I have been on additional cuddle duty and apart from a quick play after their bedtimes I haven’t had a lot of time for blogging.

Anyhoo I have had chance to play with some goodies from Sarah’s shop. I used pennies I was given for Christmas to treat myself to some lovely stamps and masks. The results of my play can be found over on the Sarah Hurley 365 blog.

Here’s a sneaky little peak…

While you are there don’t forget to take a look at the current challenge which is ‘Giving Thanks’ as there is still time to get your entries in.

Basket of Bunnies

It’s my turn to share some inspiration over on the Whimsy Inspirations Challenge blog and as I’m dreaming of spring weather I’ve used an adorable digi called Basket of Bunnies released by Crissy’s Digis last spring but still available over at the Whimsy Stamps store.

In my family I have a lot of female birthdays at this time of year, so I have made a cute little spring themed easel card.

• Colouring Medium: ProMarkers
• DP: Papermania Vintage Notes 6x6 pad
• Card: Bazzill Basics Kraft and Joanna Sheen Elegance Ice White 300gsm

Something New at Whimsy

Hello. We have a new challenge starting today at Whimsy Inspirations Challenge and our theme this month is…

Something New

My new things are dies and patterned paper (that were Christmas Presents) and I’ve teamed them with a fabulous digi from Crissy’s Digis called Penguins Party…

  

This month our prizes are…first winner:

Second winner:

And third and final winner:

A Mystery Rubber Stamp

This was a tough card for me to make as I’m trying some new card and my normal technique wasn’t working and the ink was bleeding too much, I persevered and I think it turned out OK but I’m definitely going to keep practising…

Supplies:

• Image: Penguins Party by Crissy Armstrong

• Colouring Medium: ProMarkers
