Grieving Cherub...

Hi everyone, hope you're all doing great! My kids are finally back to school this week and I have to say it's kind of nice although I miss them a ton! I don't mind not having the fighting...lol

Did you see the challenge over at the Whiff of Joy Challenge blog - they have a white on white theme and I love white on white cards! I used this adorable Grieving Cherub stamp from Whiff of Joy. When doing white cards you need tons of texture so I embossed the back panel, used my crimper on the middle part, added some lace, flowers, and pearls. The gorgeous brads are also WOJ.

The fab sketch is CLP

An Apple for you.....

Hi today I have a little  tutorial over at the Whiff of Joy Inspirations Blog  on how to make an apple shaped card. With back to school around the corner I thought I'd make a few for my kids teachers. I used Elisabeth Bell's An Apple for you stamp from Whiff of Joy.

The stamp is coloured with copics and the papers are K & Company and DCWV. Punch is Martha Stewart Lace Punch!

New stamps at Whiff of Joy...

Oh my gosh, my computer died last night so it has been quite a challenge to get my photos and post done on the laptop. I had to download new software just to transfer my camera files. What  a nightmare, don't know what I'll do without it for a week. And I'm sure I'll have hundreds of emails when it's all fixed. In the meantime I am so happy to share a new stamp from Whiff of Joy.  This is a sneak peek and will be released tomorrow along with so many cute other baking/cooking style stamps! I coloured mine with copics and used some of my favourite fun papers!  The great sketch is Sketch Saturday! Don't forget to join us tomorrow for our Blog Hop it should be fantastic!

Speedy Recovery...

My Mother in law stopped by last week and asked if I could make her a card for a police man friend of hers who was involved in a roll over after a high speed chase. She requested a Policeman stamp. Well how lucky for her that Whiff of Joy have just released this adorable little Policeman Henry.  I coloured Henry with prismacolour pencils and used some 7 Gypsies Papers! I added crystal effects to his shades for a shiny look.  The sentiment is self printed. 

Now off to take the kids to swimming lessons!

The stars were made using two recollection punches and I added so buttons for that extra touch. Everything is coloured with copics. The race flab I made using a meat skewer and some checker paper I printed online. The paper is Cosmo Cricket. Well time to get hopping....

Whiff of Joy Fall Kit on Pre-order

I have a little sneak peek for your today. Here is one of the cute Henry stamps in the new Whiff of Joy Fall Kit which is available for pre-order now!

Papers I used are K & Co and copics for colouring. I wanted to make the little flower arrangement kinda mimic the grape vine, I even added some berries. But they photographed pretty dark it's really much cuter in real life. The grosgrain ribbon is also Whiff of Joy. Well I have to run the kiddos to swimming lessons, catch you all later.
The sketch is Charisma Cards

Sweet Maya....

Wow it's so hot here, the kids, dh and I are loving it, spent the day at the pool yesterday and I think today we'll head down to the beach, maybe I'll have a few pics to share tomorrow. I stayed up until nearly 3am last night and was colouring up this cutie - this is Maya and she is one of the new character stamps from Whiff of Joy. don't you just love her?   I went for the papers that were closest to me they are Curio by Basic Grey. The sketch is Stamp with Fun.  The flowers are prima and Wild Orchid. I used one of my fave Stampin Up' sentiments and used the new Whiff of Joy Nestable Shape II die. Maya is coloured with copics. Okay I think that's it, hope  you have a great day!

Picking Toadstools...

Hope everyone had a great weekend. I was so busy and have days more work ahead of me just to get caught up.  I did find a bit of time this morning to create this card for the Whiff of Joy Challenge which is a stairstep card. I used this brand new stamp from Whiff of Joy called picking toadstools.  I took my daughter for a walk to town the other day and she actually found some wild mushrooms along the way so this stamp completely reminds me of her.  This is my second ever stairstep card and I'm not sure the results are what I was hoping for but practice will only make perfect. Sorry the photo is a bit blurry in the front I hadn't changed my camera settings to get everything in focus.  Papers are Basic Grey and Maya is coloured with copics.

For my card I have used Norma Fikel's Catch the Moon stamp. I love her sweet little characters and this one really called to my CTMH papers. I love the stars on these papers and thought they would look great with this sweet stamp. I added punch stars using my recollections punches. I also wrapped the card in WOJ's button twine to mimick the tied moon and added some frayed burlap.

Bible with Rose

Yay Friday, we're having a birthday party for our middle child today, he turned 9 yesterday! So far the weather looks great, now just time to tidy up. 

Today I wanted to share with you a beautiful sympathy stamp recently released from Whiff of joy.

It is called  Bible with Rose and really is fantastic. It's often hard to find the right stamp for a sensitive sympathy card and I really love this one. I coloured with copics and kept the layout nice and simple.

Whiff of Joy Blog Hop....

Hi everyone and welcome to my stop on the Whiff of Joy Blog Hop. I hope you have been enjoying the gorgeous creations the girls have made. You should have arrived from Sonja B 

 For my creation today I have used Elisabeth Bell's Grieving Cherub stamp from Whiff of Joy. 

I have used copics, and added prisma glitter to the wings.  The embellishments were what were lying on my desk and inspired me for the neutral card. 

So you next stop on the hop is Karina
