Summer Holidays Rock & Squiggles Stash Attack Challenge

Well I have been MIA for most of the Hols lol.  Guess thats what happens with four kiddies, but its all been good so far. The day looks blue at the moment so we may even get out in the garden today for more than half an hour at a time. 

I have managed to find a wee bit of time for some crafting so here are my offerings:-

This is my stash attack creation for the latest squiggles challenge, I have officially given up with scheduling my stuff as it seems to get lost in the ether methinks.

This card is a 4 x 4 and is made using stampin up card and  the brilliant Jessabelles Flight digi image by Evellina Wikberg, who designs for Squigglestamps.  The leaf and flower are from my stash pile/box/cupboards you get the picture. The sentiment is from TLC Creations (link on my sidebar).

Hope you all are having a great holidays.

Be back real soon with some other projects that I have been playing with.

Yaaayyy, the Squiggles Challenges are back!!!

Woohooo Squiggles Challenges are back, we had a short break to get ourselves sorted out for facebook, brand new challenges,  and lots of exciting fun!!!

The new challenge is Ribbons and Roses and the grand prize is a £15 voucher to spend instore. yayyy!!!!

So pop on over and have a looky at the dt's creations and join in the fun. You don't have to use a Squiggles image to play, but we sure love it when you do. In fact we love it so much we put the entry in twice!

The image that I chose to share is one of the new Jessabelles, she is called 'stitched' and is available here.

I have coloured with my promarkers and have used stickles on the heart.

I used some papers from my stash, can't remember their name but they came from the march kit at simon says. The pretty floral ribbon came from a magical ribbon shop in Devon last year and the roses are from marianne creatables. The green and blue ribbons are Stampin up and held in place with some tiny brads from my stash.

I have stickled each of the roses and distressed them, they were all cut from co-ordinations card and I found this was quite good for distressing.

Both the sentiments are from Stampin up sets. 

The swan is from my bead/charm boxes

Meljens pony easel card

Isn't she beautiful!

Coloured her in with my promarkers and added glitter to the flowers.  I have followed a sketch for this one from a Gem of a Challenge. 

I used wee grey dew drops, some papermania stickers, my wee circle punch and my large and small x-cut flower punches. Around the edge pansy punch and small pink glitter gems and then edged gently with beige chalks. The large glittery brads are from SU as are the sentiment stamps. 

It's so nice and sunny today that the pictures seem to make her look even happier. 

I have a hidden tag too! So you can pop in your own secret sentiment.

And yes a little bit of faux stitching.

Inside has been decorated simply using a die cut and some orange gems.

Tag your it!

Using my sizzix tag dies I cut out a pile of tags and began to stamp.  Around the edge of the first one I used a SU stamp with SU ink pad, pear pizazz.  Next I used the SU inkpad, island indigo and stamped two postage images. these I cut out and popped onto the tag with dimension squares.

The sentiment is stamped in island indigo too.  The flower (x-cut) is punched out of tartan Kanban card and a small flower image stamped again with island indigo ink pad and attached with a white brad.

Topping it all off the tartan ribbon from my stash.

'Thanks' sentiment again SU and coloured with SU markers, The ribbons and heather and button and twine is from my stash.  The flower border punch (x-cut) was used on some pearlescent card and attached horizontally.  The flower above is made from a tim holtz die, it has a with a small die cut centre and a small papermania flower sticker. 

Pretty Wooden Butterfly coloured with promarkers, su markers an pigment chalks. Kanban tartan card for the flowers punched using an x-cut punch. The sentiment is an SU stamp. 

A pretty wedding tag, made using satin and also organza spotted ribbon. Stamped around the edge with pear pizzazz SU ink pad and SU stamp. I have attached a small tibetan silver cross charm to the white heather and twirled the ends of the flowers.

Kanban Tartan again for the punched flowers.

Medals and Monarchs for Stampalot Guest Designer spot

I was so excited when I was asked to produce something for the Medals and Monarchs Challenge for Stampalot for the Month of May.  I coloured with promarkers and stampin up markers, used stampin up designer papers and a sugar nellie stamp that i have to admit had been lurking in the drawer unused. I hand wrote the sentiment (I know my writing is terrible,but i do try hard) and used some of the lovely ribbons that I had won from Stampalot. 

I found a crown in my stash and fixed it onto a flower and added some gems for extra sparkle.

The medal that I made is my representation of the queens jubilee medal. I found one on the net and made a similar hand drawn one. I added some super wide blue ribbon as I didn't have a red white and blue one unfortunately.  This was attached via a large silver loop that I sandwiched between two punched circles.

pollycraft for jack's 19th birthday

Very simple card, coloured with my stampin up markers and I have used a mixture of paper mania card and stampin up card. The ribbon is also a stampin up seam binding ribbon. Used my friends button embossing folder on the blue and layered up.

I used the ribbon at the back of the card to attach some money for my nephew, who is 19 this year, very scary monkeys, but lots of fun.

Almost forgot to say this is a pollycraft image and perfect for any teenage boy.
