Today I thought I would share my second wedding card it too is based on a design I saw in March of this year on a challenge blog called Scrapping Everyday Miracles I love this layout I have used it quite a lot and there is one more to go of this design but they are all done differently this is made for a friends wedding and she wanted it based on Midnight blue the lady I made it for was really pleased with the result and yes I have been playing with the melt pot again.

For this card I have used:

Kaisercraft DP from Porcelain collection (precious P1164)

Lace

Gems

Pearls, cage and metal corner from the hobby house

Creative Expressions (Dreamy Sentiments) stamp

Wild Rose Mr and Mrs stamp

hand made heart

Doiley

Diamond Wedding

Firstly I would like to wish my Aunty and Uncle who have been married for 60 years can you imagine it what a great journey and tales they must have. Secondly I would like to say hello and thank you to everyone who visits me and leave such lovely comments, am I mad or what as I like the ones that bring you back down to earth too. I made this car for my Aunt and Uncle I didn't see them open it so I hope they liked it. I am either getting very tight (not spending any money) or I have got too much stuff so I used this Ribbon that I have had for months and the heart doiley is at least 2 years old just trying to remember when Dawn Bibby brought out these tiny Peel-offs out,  usually I steer clear of white on white but I came across this lady who inspired me enough to try it I hope she doesn't mine me taking this inspiration her name is Chrissey Stokes so here is my take on it:

I have used
Nellie Snellen's Heart Dies
Spellbinder's flower Dies
Cheery Lynn Dies
Peel offs
Gems
Ribbon and card from stash

and this is where I have been inspired:

Minnie Mouse

Inside (this is an Easel card)

For this card I have used:

Mickey Mouse and Friends Cricut cartridge

Silver Mirri

Card Candi from Craftwork cards

Ribbon from Mai flowers

Computer words

Spellbinders circle Die

DP from Docrafts.

Minnie Magnets

Hello everyone I hope you are all keeping well thank you for all your lovely comments they are very welcoming, sorry I haven't been around just lately but I had some commissioned work to do and it was a little time consuming and I still have one or two left to do. I will share some of my favorites over the next few days, I will start with a couple (7) of magnets of different little girls that was a little challenging but well worth it.

For these I used
The smallest Oval from the Grand Nestabilities
Spellbinders lacy oval
Pearls from Hobby House.

Live in the moment

Good evening everyone where ever in the world you are I hope you are all keeping well, I would like to thank you all for the lovely comments you have been leaving.
I have been a little busy doing cards for people and this is one of the wedding cards I was asked to do (only another 2 for this lady) she wanted it Vintage also a bit burlesque what she didn't tell me the bride was very arty which panicked me a bit, I hope this is what the bride likes. I have been playing with my stash of late although I have just bought a melting pot and I have been inspired big time by a lady called Liz Welsh what she does with Friendly plastic and the melt pot is a must to watch.
For this card I have used:
Stamps from
Tim Holtz Urban chic # CMSO86 (background to heart and Sentiment)
Making Memories (wings) # 31843
Pearls from Hobby House
Karantha Heart mould
Kaisercraft DP from Porcelain collection (precious P1164)
Spellbinder's Lattice Motif Die
Fantasy Film (Which might be at least 4 year old)
various embossing powders
Feathers and Lace from stash
Diamond glaze ( hi-lighted Rose and Bird)
Copic marker for Letters (was silver)

Spots and Dots and a Goodbye

Well good morning everyone in blog land hope you are all keeping well I am still reeling over the news that OSCC is closing down and although I wasn't partaking in this challenge it only seemed fitting I should join Shelley and the Team in the FINAL challenge which is SPOTS and DOTS, the lovely sponsor is:

For this card I tried to do something that was using the sponsors papers and say goodbye to One Stop Craft Challenge at the same time because if Shelley hadn't given me the chance to challenge myself and others I would still be sat here watching, as I didn't think my work was good enough being my own worst critic and she proved me wrong. I have as you all know been pushing myself to try something different with craft stash and I have made this a digi card printing off the artwork and matting it onto a blank card so here is my card:

For this card I have used:
Sponsor freebie DP
OSCC Badge (used twice, one upside down for the border)
Craft Artist 2
Card blank, blue backing card
Flat back mini pearls from the Hobby House (my addiction)

This is where I'm challenging it:
http://bearlymine-challenges.blogspot.co.uk - use a digi image or paper
http://paperplaytime.blogspot.co.uk - use pearls
http://www.simonsaysstampblog.com/mondaychallenge - spotty
http://www.tammyscrapincorner.com - anything goes
http://qkrstampede.blogspot.co.uk - anything goes
http://leftofcenterchallenges.blogspot.ca - LOC or girly theme
http://thesweetpeastampers.blogspot.co.uk - tear it to pieces

Simply keeping it simple

Hello everyone just a note to let you all know I am keeping well as I am hoping you all are too and another thank you to you all for your lovely comments, they are very special.


This week at OSCC the challenge is a very good one and some people including myself sometimes struggle with it (in fact I was going to miss out this challenge due to this fact) but I thought about it and realized that it doesn't have to be hard and can be fun too. I seemed to have wondered off the challenge which is being sponsored by the lovely Fred She Said and the challenge is     KEEP It SIMPLE 

So here is my card I don't think the recipe list has been so short!
for this card I have used the sponsor image - Paper Pricking Pattern - Frame and Florish
HOTP stamps,
Gems,
Copic pens.
