Moo Cards

Our Current Rebel Challenge at Rogue Redhead Designs is all about Moo's I've been wanting to make some of these little chaps for a while, so this was the perfect chance.

I decided I liked the idea of sets of moos, which I would then add to Moo cards ;)  For my first trio, I used the yacht  from Beach Babes, and then popped the yacht in 3 different scenes, Summer seas, a storm and by Moonlight. I've then added them to a simple Kraft card base.

Next I did hearts:

For this Love duo, I stamped the hearts from Snow Hugs, and then coloured them with red and gold. I love how they turned out so lush, and added more red gold and black to form the card.

Check out the Rebel challenge post for more moos and details.

Summer's nearly Here?

Well, at least it is for my Northern Hemisphere friends, it sounds like Summer is upon you :-)
Here we are slowly moving into Winter on the whole it's been mild so far, but our Summer holiday seems like a dream now.

Maria has chosen our  theme this fortnight at Craft Room Challenge : Summer's Nearly Here or Summer's on it's way!
Our sponsor this week is Liz Welch of RareBird, Friendly Plastic fame, who's given us another great pack of this fun stuff to our winner.

I have a big stack of photos that I want to scrap of  our Summer Holiday, in January we walked the Queen Charlotte Track, it has to be one of the most stunning places in the world. So this theme even though I'm in my winter clothes, gave me the kick start I needed to do the first Layout.

It's a 12 x 12 layout, I used the new Prima Engraver papers, they are versatile and yummy! Not masses of fussy details, cause I wanted the photos to do the talking, but I did stamp some of the images from Stampers Anonymous Tiny Things stamp set in black Archival ink, and then fussy cut them out, and attached them with foam tape. I also added some Prima Engraver Fabric and Washi tape, gotta love that stuff, for quick easy detailing. (all supplies from Art of Craft).

Please check out the Dt's work at the Craft Room, cause they're really diverse this week :-)
Have a great week.

Gatsby Fever

I've always loved the clean sleek elegant lines of Art Deco style, and with the new film Gatsby now hitting our big screens, I feel a bit of Gatsby Fever hitting. Check out my Gatsby Board on Pinterest if you want a taste ;-)

Gatsby Cards

I'm currently rereading the book, and enjoying it very much. Soooooo I was really excited to see that the Gecko Galz releases this month include Gatsby Papers and the Cats Meow (another fav film)  collage images.

The Gatsby papers work perfectly with The Cats meow Flapper images. So glam! I've added glitter paper, glitter, pearls and lace to really glam it up- this black and cream card is my fav.

Check out the Gecko Galz site, cause there's some cute freebies this month,  and every week during June leanne is giving away more freebies with purchases :-)

Craft Room: Use Your Scraps

Christmas Tags

Well my Christmas tags for the new Craft Room Challenge of Use your scraps is perfect for today, cause it's snowing down to 500 metres here in Wellington, New Zealand. 

I love the prettiness of snow, and it is one of the few things I miss about England- snow falling and the pretty snow covered trees.

We had snow down to sea level in 2011, I'm ever hopeful it will happen again this year ;)

Now onto our new Challenge:

Esther has chosen the fab theme of use your scraps, I have a lovely box filled with things I think I'll use one day ;-) as I'm sure alot of you do too.

So I went rumudging  and came up with a heap of Christmassy scraps, and so here are the tags.

Our Sponsor is Stamp Addicts, who have some cool stuff so make sure you check them and the DT creations out.

Carnival Lovers

I've made this for hubby- it's our anniversary next month. What could be more perfect than the lovers from Rogue Redhead Designs Carnival Dreams,  it's romantic and quirky. I think this might be another of my All time fav stamps lol.

I've stamped the background using Behind the Scene stamps: script and the music notes.

I have stamped directly onto the Kraft cardstock and inked with Walnut ink, to get an aged look. The sentiment is from the Snow Hugs set.

Enjoy the rest of your week.

Notecard Misses

Here are 4 notecards I've made up using scraps of pretty patterned paper and the ladies from Rogue Redhead Designs:- Milliner Misses and Midge from This N That.

Midge is probably my fav, she's a bit bigger than the other Misses, and I like that, I think she looks fab dressed in green.

And finally this pretty gal, she's got a bit more sparkle than the others ;-) which is hard to see in the photos, I used glitter gel pens to give her a bit more definition.

Enjoy your week.
