Glitter Me Silly

Eek, this was meant to post yesterday but I got my dates wrong, oops!

Hey everyone, I’m SOOO excited to share with you the news that Kate and Aimes from Passion for Papertrey have asked me to be their “Featured Stamper” for the month of August!  I am so thrilled, they are two of the nicest girls anyone could meet and we have become great friends over the last year (thanks to our common obesessions not just with Papertrey Ink products but a certain Mr Edward Cullen and Mr Jacob Black, lol).  Thank you so much for asking me ladies, I really am so honoured.

Passion for Papertrey have a new challenge every other Monday and for their latest one they want to see “Long and Tall Cards”.  Now I am traditionally a square card kinda girl so this one did not come easily for me!!  The only other rule to the challenge is you must use at least one Papertrey Ink product, easy peasy.

I have used my much -loved Peaceful Poinsettia stamp set and coloured the poinsettias with ProMarkers with a few blobs of black fine glitter in the centres.  The paper is from the Rustic Snowflake collection and the ribbon is True Black twill – all PTI.

Right, better whizz off – got another ridiculously busy day ahead of me, grumble.

This is the first time I’ve ever entered the Embellish Magazine challenge although I look at it every time a new one comes out!!  Something compelled me to make a card for this one though – was it the birds?  The colours?  No, it was probably the bottles of wine in the photo!!! lol

The stamps are from the cutest little set by Sassafrass Lass called Olivia and Pals (much to my daughter Olivia’s delight) and the pink is stamped in Raspberry Fizz (PTI) and the brown is in Versafine Sepia (my dark chocolate wasn’t playing very nicely last night!!).  The cardstock, paper and ribbon are all Papertrey Ink and the sentiment is from Everyday Classics. I have popped the eyes on both of the owls and highlighted them with crystal effects but you can’t see that too well in the photo!!

Well, better be off – we’re going up to the apartment in Windermere for the weekend (first weekend we’ve gone to stay since it flooded last November).  I haven’t packed so much as a pair of knickers and as there’s 7 of us that’s a LOT of knickers to pack!

Hi all – another mega-quick post for me.  Thought I’d share the super-quick (as they all are these days) anniversary card I made for my hubby.  It was on the 15th July so I am a little late posting it but never mind.  Everything is PTI – Masculine Motifs stamp set, ink and cardstock in Ocean Tides, Hawaiian Shores and Aqua Mist.

It’s simple but he’s a VERY simple kinda guy!!!

Right, am having various children over for sleepovers tonight (yes, I am a glutten for punishment – as if my own 5 weren’t enough I adopt another 4 for the night!!).  The bedrooms are all like Beirut – WHY can’t they keep them tidy –  so better go and at least clear a patch of floor for them all to sleep on!!

Have a good day everyone.
