Cheeky chimps anniversary love

An image from the Digi Stamp Boutique which I have coloured with my PM's and glittered with stickles.

Which I have to confess has already left the building and I very nearly forgot to photograph it so that I could share it with you. Life is fairly hectic in the Mainland household at the moment.

It is an Anniversary card for my parents who are celebrating their 45th this year, so went for the blue colours cos I found out it is meant to be celebrated with sapphire, of course then I remembered that you can actually get pink and green sapphires as well, but think the blue was the right choice.

I found some pretty little white heart brads to put in the centre of the flowers made from prima and also some from the pound shop from last year.(the gold ones).

The ribbons are velvet and are from my stash box, as is the snippet of lace and the gold thin ribbon bows which I tied and then fixed with two tiny gold brads(dropped one of these and it is officially mia, they are so tiny)

The large piece of organza ribbon with gold edging is from a box/present, so a bit of recycling there too! 

Nearly forgot to mention the giant DCWV brad, these are gorgeous, one of those items you almost don't use cos you love them so much (you all know what I mean!!!)

The papers are freebies, papermania and a couple small snippets of gold from my stash that are so old their make escapes me?

Squigglestamps Jubilee Challenge and Freebies

Hmm seem to have lost the plot this weekend, had planned some fun things to do this week, then Will got a phone call (on sunday) to go to work because the proverbial had hit the fan. So instead of a few days off this week he is going to be staying over at Inverness some of the time to sort out all the problems.

On a plus side it does mean I get some extra crafting time!!

Today I have a Squigglestamps creation for you. The latest challenge at Squigglestamps Blog is 'Jubilee' and to celebrate we have some wonderful Jubilee Freebies to share with you all.

We would love to see all your projects to celebrate the jubilee, or red/white/blue or maybe bling and glitter and lots of sparkle.

The card I have made to share with you is created using the boy from the above freebies.  It is for the son of one of my best friends.

I coloured with my promarkers and used a happy birthday Stampin Up sentiment, that I got FREE when I held a SU party.

Now as the images were FREEBIES, I decided to see if I could make the whole card using FREEBIES.

The papers are from a cardmaking magazine, the doily from a friend. The ribbons were also FREE from another magazine and the brads were from a candy win from a year ago.

Penny Black summer sunshine celebrations

So love this image, makes me think of Summer time and the olympic torch now, not birthdays lol.

I have made this card for my mums birthday that is in june. I have coloured using a mixutre of promarkers, SU markers and pen. I have used my freebie stamp for the happy birthday and some of my freebie papers, (for the flowers and bunting). The matt card is papermania and I have faux stitched.

I crunched the flowers but didn't make them wet this time. Affixed using a brad.

The bunting is such fun in the dotty pattern and the celebrate is a die cut from the same paper pack.

Look at the sunshine, what am i doing indoors, must finish fast as have more washing to hang out, the washing machine can't keep up with how quick it is drying. long may it last!!!
