Your favourite movie for Sweet Stampin'

Hi everybody

Here comes my second post for Sweet Stampin' and Carrie chose the theme of Favourite Movie.  This week we are sponsored by Fairy Dust Crafts, and our monthly sponsor is Pollycraft Digi Stamps.

This was something of a struggle for me - I am not really a movie buff - I don't often go to the cinema - and most often wait until something comes on TV - usually pay per view, or whatever it is called, and I know there are a couple scheduled for the end of this month. 

One thing I did decide that it was not going to be cute this time around, so out came my Tim Holtz stamps, and something from B Line Designs.

My background is a variety of Distress Inks on to Ranger Manilla Card.  It was so easy to blend on this card - the first time I have used it and very impressed.  I stamped the Umbrella Man - such a favourite of mine - and then masked him to stamp the Tower Bridge in the background.  The stippling  represents the rain falling.  My sentiment refers to 'dancing in the rain' - well Gene Kelly did dance in the rain, as well as 'Singing in the Rain'.  I attached an Ideology fragment with a piece of calendar behind it and  black/grey thread pulled through it.

I am entering this for the following challenges:

Res-Q-Challenge - A touch of pink
Daring Cardmakers - Home baked - I made my embellishment
Moving Along with the Times - Card or Project for a male
Paper Romance - Use as many colours as possible
For Your Inspiration - photo inspiration

Simon Says Stamp - Anything Goes

A time for lots of shine for Sweet Stampin'

Good morning one and all

Woo Hoo!  I am on the design team for a second term!  Absolutely fab!

Another Saturday morning - I cannot understand where the time has gone this week.  I know I have been doing stuff, but nothing to blog as I was trying to catch up on getting cards done for Christmas and some are for people who might see them.

Anyway, on to the  Sweet Stampin' Challenge this week.  We have a recipe for you.  Three papers, two embellishments, one image.  Wot - no flowers from me?

We are sponsored by Craft Brulee today, and our monthly sponsor is Crafty Emma's Store.

Well, I already had my background made, but what to put on it.  In the end, I decided to be clever - wrong move - I now have gold leafing flakes all over the floor, because they jumped out of the box at me when I put the lid on.  In the box the leafing flakes look greeny silver, now on the card they have a gold colour!!

All my paper is from last year - not sure which brand - I made this background up a few weeks ago as part of a batch for my marathon Christmas card session.  The image is Penny Black.  I have cut snowlakes with Martha Stewart punches from silver holographic card, and added small blue ones over the top, which I glittered.  Ribbon and other bits and pieces from stash.

I am entering this for the following challenges:

• Alphabet Challenge - G is for Glitter
• The Character cafe - Glitter, glitter, glitter
• Prairie Fairy Fridays - Use a star
• Mami Doodles - Anything goes
• Stampin with the Dragon - Make it sparkle
• Wags 'n' Whiskers - Snowflakes
• Stampin B's design team - Use a star
• Freshly Brewed - Sparkle and shine
• Simon Says Stamp - Christmas - but no red or green
• Papertake Weekly Challenge - Red and green must not be seen

Don't forget to pop along to the Sweet Stampin' Challenge to have a look at all the fab creations.
I really appreciate it that you take the time to look at my blog and leave such lovely comments. Thank you each and every one of you.

A white Christmas ...

An all white card that is very simple.

Simon Says Stamp is looking for something all white this week.  I have embossed some white shimmer card with a Christmas Tree and added dots of Ice Stickles to it.  I have given it a minute gold edge - I am useless with a Krylon pen, so this seemed to be the next best thing.  The whole thing is mounted on to more white shimmer card on to which I have embossed some lines.  Bad girl - no stamping - so hope it counts.

I am entering this into the following challenges:

Simon Says Stamp - are you all white?
Craft your days away - all white
CRAFT challenge - dry embossing
The Creative Cottage Challenge - embossing
Patty's Creations - Christmas card
Creatlicious Challenge - all white

Thanks for stopping by. I really appreciate your comments.
