Keeping it CAS!

Gotta love CAS cards when you haven't got a lot of time (& for me that is most of the time lately lol) & this week's Sentimental Sundays challenge is Clean and Simple (+ a sentiment) & we are sponsored by 2 Cute Ink & I used this cute Balloon Birdie digital stamp which I coloured with ProMarkers.  I found my tool that corrugates card & used that on some Kraft card.  The background is done with chalk & using a die cut cloud as a stencil  I finished of with a Lili of the Valley stamped sentiment & some gems.  I'm sure you can all fit in time to make a CAS card so I really hope you can join us ;o)

The challenges:

Simon Says - Keep It Clean & Simple

The Sisterhood of Crafters - Things With Wings

Have a fabulous Sunday!

It's Friday!!!!

Hooray it's Friday, just gotta last til 5.00 & weekend starts :o)  Friday also means a new challenge at Jellypark Friends which this time is "One for the Boys".  I used this fab image called Football Rugby Supporter & coloured him with ProMarkers.  The papers & embellishments are from Papermania's Portobello Road (apart from the felt heart) & I finished with a computer generated sentiment.  I haven't done much crafting lately cos we've had our 3 grandchildren staying & how lovely it was to spend time with them :o) & my mojo seems to have gone walkabout now but hopefully it will find it's way home soon...

A Song In You He{ART} - Happy

The Paper Shelter - For the Boys

Penny's - One for the Boys

Hooray for Weekends & Week's Off!

Yes this weekend is even more special cos we're on holiday next week & are having our 3 grandchildren to stay.  Can't wait both mine & hubby's work has been so stressful lately we need some FUN :o)  So no feeling of dread tonight at the end of the weekend & Monday morning looming ever closer lol.  As it is Sunday it is time for another Sentimental Sundays challenge & this week we want to see your "Embossing" (any sort & with a sentiment please, it is Sentimental Sundays after all ;o).  We are sponsored by The Cutting Cafe & the DT were given these fab "Rain Rain Go Away" images to use.

New Found Love...Mini Albums (**V**) (warning: lots of photos)

Today is my turn to choose the theme for this week's Sentimental Sundays challenge & I chose "Vintage/Steampunk" & I had in my head I wanted to make something with an Alice in Wonderland feel.  I had a wonderfully illustrated book when I was little & it was my fav.  I saw THIS printable album online & fell in love with it.  It took me ages to make but I thoroughly enjoyed it.  I added a few other images I bought on Etsy & added some ribbons, charms, ink & liquid embossing.  I would love to make for mini albums but I really don't have much free time at the moment :o( (I did make a toilet paper roll album for a swap which I will blog at a later date but I don't like it as much as this one).  I haven't shown all the photos (but there are still lots lol), I hope you get the idea :o)
