Moving Along With The Times...sketch time...

Hey everyone,

It's almost Christmas, time to relax and hang out with your loved ones. I for one cannot wait!

Before that we have one last challenge from Team B over at Moving Along With The Times.. our wonderful Hostess this week, is our leader Hazel, she has chosen a sketch theme.

At the time that the DT calendar was released I had just bought the gorgeous Pink Petticoat Flamingoes. I was inspired to create a really girly, but not too busy take on the sketch.

I went with a very busy floral backing paper, so all the other elements had to be simple and pared back. The circles were die-cut from a pink houndstooth embossed paper that JT sent me. I added a simple pink border around the image and some pink candi to finish off.

It's way more pink than I normally use, but I love that the sketch took me to a different place, which is great - stepping out of my comfort zone is healthy!

To see more wonderful creations by Team B and to join in the sketchy fun pop on over to MAWTT.

Wishing you all a very Happy Christmas and thanks for playing with us at MAWTT throughout 2014.

New Challenge Blog..Retro Rubber..

Hey!

No WOYWW for me this week - instead an announcement...

From the 4th of November there is a new challenge blog coming your way - Retro Rubber and I will be part of their first DT - how awesome is that!!

Retro Rubber is run by 2 very cool ladies - Jane and Katie. There are also some very talented ladies on the DT and I am super thrilled to be working (playing..) with them..

The rules for Retro Rubber are pretty simple -

• Use older stamps. We suggest stamps older than 1 year. 
• Follow the challenge given for the week. 
• Post your creation to your blog or online gallery. 
• Link back to the blog using the InLinkz by the due date. 
• Enter as many times as you like. 

Challenge Due Dates will be the 2nd Friday after the challenge is posted.

The idea of the challenge really appealed to me, I have so many neglected 'older' stamps that deserve an outing.

In honor of the new challenge and me being part of the team - my main card uses stamps that are 14 months old - they are by American Crafts and were one of the first things that I bought craft wise after we relocated to NYC!

Hope you will play along with us on the 4th of  November.

Moving Along With The Times....Anything Goes!

Hello!

Welcome to my first post as a DT member of MAWTT..

Both teams have had a nice Summer break and are back with some new members - myself included :)

The theme this week over at Moving Along With The Times is - Anything Goes..

I decided that I would use my one of my fave KennyK stamps - Sexy Cupid to make a fun anniversary card for my friends (it has arrived and they love it, which makes it all worth while!)

I coloured her using Promarkers, the sentiment is one I printed and punched, the glittery strips were bought in Poundland before I left the UK and the backing paper is from an amazing stack of 150 sheets of 6x6 papers by DCWV that I got at Marshalls here in NYC for only $2!!

I miss Poundland!

Hope you pop over and join in the fun and see what the rest of the team has made, there are some lovely creations to look at this week.
