Savannah Stories


are two stamp sets I found I had from Katy Sue Designs a very long time ago, so it was time I had a play with them !!

I grabbed some off cuts of white card and made more of my inky backgrounds just mixing colours, then away I went stamping !!

Warning over load of photo's......

















































































This was the last little strip of inky background I just couldn't throw away.......made a fab card !!




















































































































Don't you just love playing......

Chicken Run


Morning guys !!

Today is my first DT post for Crafty Ribbons !!  Lovely Ali asked me to join the design team and as you know I always have ribbon on my projects so what could be better than to have loads of wonderful ribbon to play with !!
 
So today I have for you a chicken box card using Crafty Ribbons "Summer Festival Chicken" ribbon to go with my "Hey Chick" Stampin Up stamps !!


































Lots of fun stamping, colouring in with copics and fussy cutting out on this one .

GD for Crafty Ribbons




The lovely Ali from Craft Ribbons asked me if I would like to do a Guest Designer spot on FB,  now who is going to say no to that !!

 So here is my project,  a wrist cuff made with the Butterfly Ribbon Pack























Ribbon Pack - Butterfly

It's very easy to make from a strip of denim cut from the leg of an old pair of jeans ( mine  kindly donated by my brother )


























Everything is hand sewn with invisible thread. From my stash I cut a piece of knitting lace in half and added a piece top and bottom, then a piece of the check ribbon. Next I gathered a piece of sheer ribbon and attached it down the middle. Then I fussy cut some of the butterflies out adding two together and attaching then on top of the gathered ribbon. Finished off with two rows of pearls and two hooks and eyes to fasten the cuff.

Think of all the fabulous Craft Ribbons  YOU COULD  use to make this !!

Up for a challenge ??

 Then hop over to House Mouse and Friends as we have a new challenge for you !!

 
I've made a card with a hidden message......
 
 
 Just pull the cloud and watch Monica fly revealing the hidden message  !!
 
 
This super cute Stampendous HMD is called "Umbrella Ride" and Monica is really enjoying it !!
 
Love making inky cloud backgrounds as everyone turns out different. Stamped and coloured Monica using Copics and then fussy cut her out attaching her to the slider. Punched out a few clouds inking all the edges. Finished off with some pattern paper, lace and ribbon with heart button.
