IBS JULY SKETCH CHALLNGE.

Inspired-by-Stamping-July-B


I thought that I would try a Sketch Challenge with Inspired by Stamping .  I am in the throws of making 3 sets of 5 coordinating cards which are come in boxes that coordinate with the cards.

I have used kaisercraft paper 'On this day' for 2 of the sets so far. I was inspired by sketch 1 to make this card for one of the sets.  I have used a sentiment stamps from one of Joanna's sets. I just love her stamps are they are a beautiful high quality clear stamp and they have loads of swirls on them. The sticky on them is awesome.  The sentiment and the flourish in the circle are in gold heat embossed to add a richness to the card. I used Marianne  and a Memory Box dies and a MFT doily die.
The flowers are from Wild orchid flowershttp://www.wildorchidcrafts.com

Please go and have  a look at Joanna's stamps as it is worth a visit and the quality of the stamps surpass any others.
I also like the fact that this is a home grown company. (Australia). http://www.inspiredbystamping.com

Please go and look at the other creations from others folllowers of Joanna. http://joannamunster.com/2013/07/20/july-blog-hop-sketches/

Mojo monday 299




It has been a few weeks since I have entered in a MM challenge.
So here is 1 for this week.



As you can see from the image below of the card I made.
I did the sqaure card.  I have used Graphic 45 images from the Secret garden series.
The doily is a Spellbinders Persian Motif. The flowers are made by using a punch and have 2 layers.  The ferns are from a Memory Box dies Delicate fern.


Please click on the link and go see what other crafters have made when they interprated the sketch.
Also remember that comments are gratefully recieved by us all.

Spellbinders storage.
I spent yesterday trying to workout a better storage system for my Spellbinders die rather then thrown in a drawer or a container.  As I am a cheap skate (don't like to spend money were I don't have too) I came up with the idea to use zip lock bags in a folder.  I already had a A6 folder I just needed to make the bags a bit narrower to take the dies with the cardboard they are on.  So I cut and sewed for a while and it looks wonderful. I now have about 12 sets of dies in the folder and it doesn't take up to much room.  I am so pleased with the process that I will do the same with my other thin dies. 
Thanks for dropping by and I will catch you later.

Three challenges

Seize The Birthday sketch, IBSIC #55 and Mo's digital 'schools out'.

Well they are called challenges and this time I want to make one card and enter it in 3 challenges.
Here is my interruption of those three challenges.


IBSIC-#55

For the Mo's challenge Schools out. The image made me remember holidays as child for myself. My birthday is during the summer holidays so time was spent with the cat when we were not at the beach camping. Also everyone else was away so I had parties with the cat and my friends were away.
