Happy Birthday to me

At the end of this week it is my Birthday and on Tuesday Taggers it is my turn to choose the theme so I went for 'Cakes & Balloons'.  My teamies have come up with some absolutely fantastic creations for you to get inspiration from.

We also have two prizes this week and all you have to do is just look at the TT's blog, complete the challenge and leave your name on Mr Linky.  This is one of the prizes (the second may vary in colours slightly)

Here is my entry

I have used on a pedestal stamp set stamped in brilliant blue, pixie pink and pink passion.  The DSP is from the mini catty paper stack 'Sweet Pea'.  The ribbon is Rose Red 1" Double Stitched Grosgrain ribbon.  I have cut a slit in the card at the front and slipped the ribbon through and tied in a knot on the front.

As well as being my birthday at the end of the week it is also my other halves birthday on the same day as well as being my MIL birthday today (this is her card) and my mums birthday tomorrow. (What a busy week)

I look forward to seeing all of your wonderful creation over the next week so pop on over to Tuesday Taggers for a go.

Until next time

Happy crafting

Tuesday Taggers Tag it

Today on tuesday taggers it is a tag theme that is being sponsored by my lovely friend Georgina.

My tag is using some of the new paper from the Sweet Pea paper stack, chocolate chip card stock, Old Olive ink that I have brayered flat on to the tag.  I have then scrunched up a piece of paper and inked up my brayer again and rolled across this paper.  Then brayer over your card stock and you get this mottled effect.  The stamp at the grass/sky line is from the Tiny Tags in old olive.  I have used Trendy Trees in Close to Cocoa and Old Olive.  I have brayered the sky with bashful blue a couple of times to get some depth at the top.  I have stamped some of the tiny tag stamps and punched out with the Medium Jewellery Tag punch attached with Linen Thread.  The last step is a length of Chocolate Chip double stitched grosgrain ribbon with a word window punched out of brayered bashful blue and punched with the 1/16" punch and closed with a gold brad.

Mini Blog Hop

Hi Guys

In less than a week the SU! mini catty launches and what better way to preview it than us SU! Independent Demonstrators having a blog hop starting here with Carol.

If I have done this right you should have come here from Carol and you will leave here via Pats blog.

My contribution for this blog hop is this....

It is a photo cube made from cd jewel cases (I have seen this on the web, but cannot remember where I have seen it. If somebody knows please can they tell me so I can credit). I have used the back cover of one and clipped it to the front cover of another. The base is made from a piece of cardstock at 8"x8". I have used the new Sweet Pea DSP from the mini. The pieces of card stock I have used as the photo frame are 5 3/4"x5 1/8" scored at 5 1/2" on the 5 3/4" side. Again I have used the Sweet Pea paper. I have also used the My Sweet Pea Stamp set for the stamped flowers in Chocolate Chip. I have stamped with versamark on the backing card. I have used Pumpkin Pie, Chocolate Chip and Old Olive card stock.

Not only have we got this blog hop but there are two more happening too, one here and the other one here.

I hope you like and keep looking over the next few days and I will be posting more from the Mini Catty.

Until next time happy crafting
