Stamp Something " Glitzy" Challenge

I have finally sorted out my days so I have plenty of time to do some more challenges. The challenge at Stamp Something this week is Glitzy and as I love anything that sparkles I couldn't resist. I have made this card for my boyfriends two nephews.I have added glitter to the snowflakes that I stamped directly onto the card. I then added glitter to the snowman and boy image. The blue ribbon also has glitter running though it.
I have used
Boy and Snowman stamp from Elzybells
Snowflake and Message Stamp from Stamping Up
Ribbon and glitter from stash and H2O'S to colour in images.

OSCC Challenge 57

Firstly a big thank you to everyone who took part in my sketch challenge last week. Glad you all enjoyed it.
Onto this week and it's our lovely Maggie who has set the challenge and it's
FANCY FOLDS.
Mine is a very simple holder that I am using to put my daughters invites in for her party next month. They are supplied as part of the package but she said they weren't fancy enough. I am going to add each childs name to the tag at the top.

Project Tuesday Easel Card

This week Project Tuesday have set the challenge to make an easel card. I was so surprised how quick and easy it was.
I stamped the tree with fluid chalk and them added some glitter and did the same with the Merry Christmas.

Project Tuesday Post-It-Note Holder

This week Project Tuesday has just what I need for the girls teachers Xmas presents. The fab Post-It-Note Holder is so quick and easy and I think looks great. I have yet to add the pencil as I need a trip to town to buy some. I have used a doubled sided scrapbook paper so it all matches and the flower on the front is stamped, coloured and then I have added some glossy accents to make it all shiny.

OSCC Challenge 56

This week is my turn to set the challenge over at OSCC and as we haven't had one for some time I thought it would be nice to have a sketch to play with.

The Trouble With Mondays

The trouble with mondays is they never run smooth no matter what you do. After getting this lovely lot ready for school

and walking half way we realised that we had a lunch box missing. So back home we all went. How we missed the pinkest lunch box ever made I will never know.
What I do like about Mondays is it's my day to craft. This is two bags I have just finished off and I am quite pleased with them. They are so easy, just plain knitting, and quick to make. I have lined the lilac one to make it a bit stronger.

I just love a bit of knitting and never do enough of it. The girls are all learning to knit at the moment but it seems that mum spends most of the time un-doing mistakes. Here is one of their mobile phone covers. I think it looks great, well done to our Billie.

Lavender Fairies Projects

This month I have had these lovely Lavender Fairy stamps to use. I decided to use them to make a scrapbook page as well as a card. The set has 14 unmounted stamps in it and includes both the large and the small fairy. I also used Stick and Spray to mount the stamps onto the acrylic block which is a completly new product to me. This is so easy to use, just spray the back of the unmounted stamp wait for 30 seconds and stick to the block. Once you have used the stamp it just peels off.
