Stamps, Banners and Pink!

Here are some more SMASH* pages to show you (from the July 30 day SMASH* challenge on Facebook).

First is a double SMASH* page done in my mini - the LHS is Day 17 Stamps, and RHS is Day 15 Banners. I have a rather large stamp collection (hides face in shame). The stamps I use for SMASH*ing are very different to the ones I use for cardmaking and I prefer clear stamps for this purpose too. These ones are so fun dont you think?

 

Next is Day 18 Favourite Colour. I've chosen Pink - definitely a crafting favourite!

SMASH*ing Favourites!

I've got some more pages to show you from the July 30 day SMASH* challenge on Facebook.

First is a double SMASH* page done in my mini - Day 6 Food. We love desserts in our family. I dont tend to cook/eat them at home but we love to enjoy them when we eat out. I've even included some clippings from magazines on these pages - I havent done this before but was perfect for these pages!! Makes me feel hungry just looking at it.

 

 

Next is another double SMASH* page (all in my mini) - Day 14 Favourite Someone/s. I couldn't just pick one person for this challenge could I! I've also included a Top 10 of things we love to do - note that number 1 is "Go out for Tea" which ties in with the food/desserts above!!

SMASH*ing Catch Up!

Eek! Its been too long since my last post. Sorry guys (slaps hand). I'm still trying to catch up after a bad flu/cold and now it is school holidays. Although holidays mean a more relaxed schedule the girls like me to be at their constant beck and call!

I've got a heap of SMASH* pages to show you - I'll spread out over a number of posts over the coming days. They are all from the July 30 day SMASH* challenge on Facebook.

First is a double SMASH* page done in my mini - the LHS is day 10 Wings, and RHS is Day 8 Handmade embellishment (I made a fabric yo-yo). I've used mostly Dear Lizzy products on these pages.

 

 

Next is another double SMASH* page (also in my mini) - Day 12  Favourite Holiday. Now all holidays are my favourite so this was of our holiday at the time in city Adelaide. I've used mainly Amy Tangerine and Angie Delarie products on these pages.

Mystery At The Fire Station!

Last weekend I found some time to craft and had the opportunity to use some of the new "Mystery"
digis from Angie Delarie. They were perfect for SMASH*ing some photos of my youngest daughter and her pre-school class exploring the Adelaide Fire Station. It was so cute - they all got a try at the fire hose!

I've used my Orange SMASH* folio and I coloured my AD images in Photoshop and printed them out on glossy photo paper. I've also done some more misting and love this effect with the blotches as well as the mist.

 

 

 

I've used a heap of my favourite products here including Amy Tangerine stickers and alphas, Studio Calico wood veneers, a Typo tag, Smiggle stamp, October Afternoon flat backed button, Freckles and Pigtails chevron bag, Tattered Angels chalkboard mist, and a doilie and washi from my stash.

Happy Birthday Honey!!

This week Tickled Pink Stamps is sponsoring Cupcake Craft Challenges where the theme is "Script and Gold". TPS have been having technical issues with the Shop but keep checking back and it will be fixed shortly.

I made this card for my darling Hubby's birthday. I dont make cards as much lately due to all the SMASH*ing fun I've been having and I was feeling a bit like I had lost my mojo. This Luca image is new for me and it looked so fun that I had to use it. I also love the idea of using playing cards and bottle tops. I was pretty happy with how it worked out. I find masculine cards harder to make, how about you?

Card Recipe:

Stamps : Lil Perfect Match Lad 20's Gangster Luca (Tickled Pink Stamps), Well Scripted sentiment (Stampin' Up!)

Cardstock: Confetti white, basic black (Stampin' Up!)
Papers: Sunshine collection (Lost & Found)

Coloured with: Copics (cool Greys)

Other : washi tape (Tim Holtz), car wood veneer (Studio Calico), bottle top (Freckles and Pigtails), playing cards (KaiserCraft), Fleur De Lise accents dies (Spellbinders), transparency(Hambley Screenprints), tag (Stash)

Ready, Set, Go!

Sorry I haven't had much to show you lately. I've been sick with the flu for nearly the last 2 weeks and it has put a complete stop to all fun crafting activities and restricted my blog and FaceBook time - so not fair!

I was however very excited to see my package from the postman on Friday with some of the latest products from the Amy Tangerine "Ready Set Go" release! I've used the stamps, die cuts and stickers on this page. I also bought some of the alphas and puffy stickers - soo cute!!

I've also tried my hand at crocheting some cute butterflies. They were a bit tricky at first as they are quite small but I had fun doing this while I was sick. I also made some hearts and flowers.

 

 

 

I've also used a Freckles and Pigtails flat backed button chevron bag, a Studio Calico wood veneer, a K-Mart flower paper clip, and a doilie, tag, washi, stickles & twine from my stash.
