INKspired Blog Hop 35

Hello,
 welcome to the 35th INKspired Blog Hop!

I've been a little absent for just a few weeks as a rather exciting event took place. in mid January I gave birth to a beautiful baby boy! As this is my first baby its all a very steep learning curve!
Iv had my hands pretty full, however this week i was itching to get back into my craft room and have a little "mummy" time! Just before me is the beautiful Barb I will be hopping to her blog to see what she has created this week!

OK So enough about me and more about this weeks hop!

This is the sketch for this week.

Here is my card....

This week i kept it very simple. Some times less is more!

As i have a lot of birthdays coming up i needed to make a few cards fast! following on Shannon West #imbringingbirthdaysback quest! I'm sending out lots of birthday cards this year!

 

I love the birthday blooms stamp set! I stamped the back ground flower with melon mambo ink on melon mambo card, ant the sentiment i heat embossed with white embossing powder to make it pop!

Here is the inside of my card!

 

Thanks so much for stopping by I hope you have time to hop all the way around and check out the other girls blog hop next up is the amazing Teneale Williams I cant wait to see what she has created!

INKspired Blog Hop 32

Hello and welcome back,
Its a new year and all the crazy season is over, (I THINK???) OMG how fast does time fly!

Just befor me on this Blog Hop is Marlene Goulder I'm sure she has wow you all with her creation!

So with a new year comes a New Stampin' Up! Catty and I'm loving SO many things within this catty. Its also SALE-A-BRATION time a time when Stampin' Up! gives away a free gift of your choice with every $90 order. Yay who doesn't love freebees!!

 

This week iv been having a play with some of the new products just before our catalogue launch yesterday! I've had so much FUN!!

 



So here is our first sketch for the new year!



 

 

 

Here is the card I created. 

 

 

Unfortunately I didn't realise it was a square sketch, which is a shame because I think this card would look amazing as a square if I had more time I would have made another one.

 

I'm so in love with this stamp set out of the new occasions catty Birthday Blooms!

I love the colours of the new Birthday bouquet DSP and used them as my inspiration.

 

 

 

Well this hop I was a little rushed but next fortnight

hopefully ill have a little more time to sit and be more creative with my blog entry!

 

Next up is  

 Narelle Macey!

 

Have a good day

Happy INKspired Blog Hop!

 

Hello and welcome to another INKspired Blog Hop!

I hope your hopping around all our blogs!

 If you are you have just joined me from the

lovely Marlene. I'm sure she would have impressed you!

 

Well time is flying and Christmas is fast approaching.

 I LOVE this time of year but I always seem too busy to really enjoy it!

 So to try and enjoy what I can, iv been making some

 Christmas cards for all the special people in my life!

 

I love giving CHRISTMAS CARDS!

 

With some help from this weeks sketch.......

 

 

 

 

......Here is a chrissy card I created!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Ok so I cheated a little and changed the sketch around but isn't that the

 beauty of these sketch  challenges, inspiring creativity?

 

I really enjoyed playing with the bow builder punch, it is just so sweet

and id almost forgotten I had it.

I feel that it finished my card off beautifully! 

 

 

 

 

Finally the inside of my card. Just super simple to allow me to add lots

 of Christmas cheer closer to the day!!

 

 

 

 

Thank you so much for stopping by

INKspired Blog hop 26

Pretty Water Colour,

Hello,

and welcome to another INKspired Blog Hop! Just before me on the hop is Marlene if you have come for her blog I'm sure she didn't disappoint!

I cant wait to hop all the way around the girls to see what they have created this week!

This week were working with the most beautiful sketch!

Here is the sketch.

Isn't it stunning!

I'm totally in love with water colour at the moment!

 I had a play around with a few ideas and this is what I came up with!

I had a brief this week to make a congratulations

 card for a friend to give to her mum!

I asked her to pick three colours to help me design something she would like.

She chose Gold white and turquoise.   

I think its always harder to make a card for someone to give to someone else, but I love

 the out come and I hope she does too.

I did go more towards the mint green than turquoise but I felt it gave the card a calm feel as the turquoise was too loud! 

I cut out the YOU out with the little letters thinlite dies and the big shot!
my best tips for this is to use a little
washi tape to hold down the letters while you
are putting it through the big shot. This will help to stop them from moving!!

Thank You for stopping by!

Next up is the beautiful Narelle
