Three Little Stars

Evening All. Well I made it to the stables this morning, and no it didn't rain, but boy was it cold...Brrr... Anyhow, I just had a 30 minute lesson as I'd not been for a while but I was surprised how quick it all came back to me and the lesson went all too quick. The funniest thing happened though. Just before the end of the lesson the horses and ponies in the field got all excited at a passing horse on the lower road and started galloping across towards the track. I really thought they were going to jump the fence. My horse, Mac, pricked his ears up but my lovely instructor took hold of the reins, just in case. I can tell you I was very relieved. It was lovely to watch them being so giddy and playing and galloping but I'd rather they did it when my feet were on the ground.

So, now onto my card. Another one of them that started off as one idea and ended up as something else.

This is my new Penny Black sentiment stamp, which I think is lovely. I've used the current Friday Sketchers sketch and rotated it to fit my sentiment. All the DP is from my stash. The white piece I've embossed with the cuttlebug 'swiss dots'.

The only other thing is to tell you the fruits I based my colours on (see below) and that is banana, kiwi, and strawberry.

Hope you like it and the challenge links are below, x

Thank You

Good Morning Peeps and here's to a lovely weekend for you all. I'm not normally up and about at this time in the morning, especially on a Saturday, but my beloved managed to make huge announcements at 5am as he was getting up to travel to Scotland for the footie. The announcement......THERE'S AT LEAST 2" OF SNOW!!! My loving response was.....the game will probably be postponed.....Anyhow, that was enough to wake me from my slumber and with nothing better to do I thought why not catch up on blog posts and e-mails.

So...this little beauty I made yesterday evening, and I had great fun playing with the instructions for the folding frame. Easy peasy and so effective. If you want to find out more hop on over here Splitcoast Stampers

The reason for the frame was for the Tuesday Morning Sketches Challenge #81. I've incorporated the sketch from this week's Pixie Cottage challenge #57, used the theme of 'Thank You' from the current Crafty Creations #106 challenge and the colours from this week's Colour Create challenge #64.

The sentiment is a clear mini stamp and I've stamped it in Versafine vintage sepia. I seem to be using this alot lately.

I hope you like it and here are the links, x

I'm Getting Married In The Morning...

Well, I'm not, lol, but these 2 little cuties from the Digi Doodle Shop are. Aren't they just the cutest and lovely to colour with the old faithful copics. I've used:

E21, 31, 33, 35, 93, C1, 3, 5, RV21, 23, B32, G21 and Promarker in Satin

The pinky colour DP is from a Papermania pack - Exquisite - and the cream paper is from my stash. The absolutely scrummy flowers (curly Gardenia) I've just received from Crafty Emma's Store. At such a reasonable price I'll defo be getting some more.

I've used the current Pixie Cottage sketch as my template, Cupcake Crafts theme of 'Wedding', and Colour Create's colours of pink, blue, grey and cream + optional flowers to create this card. I'm also entering it into the Digi Doodle's Best current challenge which is anything goes.

I hope you like it and the links are below. Enjoy the rest of your weekend peeps, x
