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.

CAS Christmas Easel

This little sweetie is a sugar nellie and I have coloured her in with my whispers pens. I have followed a simple sketch and kept it clean and simple. I have added some faux stitching around the image and also some tibetan silver charms, which I attached with tiny brads.

Then I added some stickles to parts of her dress and some of the parcels.

The ribbon came from Brenda as part of her recycled candy that I won last year, it is perfect. I attached with a snowflake brad. The sentiment and snowflakes are from a set of christmas fairy stamps. The snowflakes have been liberally smothered in stickles.

Ro's Door Hanger

This is my sons door hanger, you all thought that I had forgotten him didn't you!  I made one for him too.

The image is an old sugar nellie called Rory the lion. He's lovely and cuddly looking, just like Ro really. hehe

I have coloured with my Promarkers, used some scraps of paper for laying up, some eyelash fibres, an old plastic snake (recycled) and some cool stickers from my stash, including a stamp of a dinosaur and a dragon chipboard die cut.  All the sorts of things he loves.

Thanks for popping by, hugs to you all and this is what I am entering this with:-)

Here I am Fluttering By.

Now this door hanger / label is for another daughter her blog is called Tishy's Mystical Manor of Masterpieces and her fave colour is blue.  I have created a 'F'rame for this image out of blue ribbon and have wrapped the ribbon with 'F'ibres. In the corners are some gemstone 'F'lowers and have used several diecut 'F'lowers to build a large flower and added a couple of flowers on stems.  She has lovely little butterflies in her jar and pretty bows in her hair. The song I always think of when I use butterflies is 'love is like a butterfly' corny I know, but that was part of growing up.

I am entering her into Flutterby Wednesday - Which is anything goes so long as you have a butterfly or angel or fairy on your creation. They are being sponsored this week by Sparkle Creations Rubber Stamps .

Teenage Musical Dreams

Well here is the 6x6 album that I have made for my nephypoos, course, I can't call him that any more. So so grown up now and I know he will love the album, I have worked the pages around things I remember from when he was younger and a wean. The hedgehogs(PennyBlack) are from his hedgy (cuddly toy I gave him when he was tiny) days. It went everywhere with him. He still has it now.

Of course the middle pages are for all those messy times in his boyhood (naughty or nice?) I used Squigglestamps Little monsters which are wonderful to colour and such fun images. A couple of star charms to finish off and punched circles for journalling.

The last pages are for his 18th birthday bash, which I am assured was wicked fun.

The tags are extras to pop into the openings I have left between sections. Again I have used a squigglestamps image - little explorers one of my sons faves I might add. If you have made it this far well done and I hope you like my male album, I just hope he liked it too!
