A+ Fab Friday

Morning Tiddly Inkers! :) Another Fab Friday on the cards for you all over at Tiddly Inks! This time I have another 'back to school' kinda card! I think it'd be kinda fun to give your kid a little 'good luck' sorta card, to wish them on their way to start the new school year.

Kids over most of England don't go back to school til the start of September, so still plenty of time left! :) I'll be uploading these to my Cartolinas FB page soon too.

So this cutie is A-Plus Avenger - you guys knew that already. She's a total oldie but goodie! I've coloured her up using ProMarkers and FlexMarkers. Her dress is a similar colour to what my old school jumper is. So cute! :) Ahhh, I have good memories from school.

Anyway, I digress. I've kept the layout pretty simple-ish. Not many embellishments. I've used more scraps from My Minds Eye. I die cut an 'A' using my slice, I think it's kinda neat! :) High hopes and all that. I've stamped the sentiment using Harolds ABC's from Lawn Fawn in Real Red ink from SU!


I'd like to enter this card into these challenges:
- Cute Card Thursday - Back to School
- Delightful Challenges - Punches and Dies

Please be sure to stop by the Tiddly Inks blog and drool over the other Fab Friday stuffs the amazing DT have come up with!

I Need This

Halfway through the week already. Can I get a YEAHHH?! ;)

Remember that little owl I said I was SO in love with from Angie Delarie Products? Uh huh?
I found him, all coloured up and ready to go.. wedged between two pages in my Green Eco SMASH*. He was looking all lonely and unloved, so there was only one thing for it.

SMASH*

He's coloured up in my fave combo right now - turquoise and orange! :)
 

Pretty simple layout. I wanted to make a record of some song lyrics that I can really relate to. Ever since I heard the song I've loved them, and on that particular day (17/08) they meant more to me than usual. 

Thank you for stopping by! Keep SMILING and keep SMASH*ING! xo

Monochrome Splashhh

Hey guys! It's another SMASH* page from me today. I'm sooo getting into it! So much so that I've started on my second book. It's my Black Mod book.. and it's gonna be much like my Green Eco - full of stuff that make's me happy. So naturally.. it had to have something to do with STAMPING in there. First in line were my much unloved Simply Sassy stamps! 

This fits with the new challenge over at Passion for ProMarkers perfectly. A challenge set by yours truly! ;) Heehee.

MONOCHROME IMAGE, WITH UNUSUAL HAIR COLOUR

Easy, PEASY! I know you guys will have a ball, breaking out of the mold, and perhaps trying a few new colour combos!! The ususual run of the mill hair colours can get boring after a while! ;)

This week we're sponsored by Joanna Sheen. The lucky winner will receive a £10 voucher.

So here's my offering.

This is the gorgeous Strike a Pose from Simply Sassy. I can't seem to find a link over at Funky Kits. I think it's got to the point now, when the Simply Sassys sell out.. they're not getting restocked!! Get yours while you can and ger your collection complete!!

She is gorgeous, is she not?! So freakin' SASSY!! She's been coloured using ProMarkers. Obviously her hair had to be BLUE. I've used a combo of Cool Aqua, Duck Egg, Island Lagoon, Marine, Petrol Blue. I've also added some splashes of orange to other parts of the image. Turquoise and orange have gotta be my long term fave combo! ;)


Here's the whole page. You can only see half of the title as it extends over both of the pages. It's something like.. 'Everybody loves stamping, right'

A few scraps of paper from MME, some swap flowers, a delish SU! brad. All that good stuff! :) I'ma write my top 10 Sassy's on that little note as well as writing some fun stuff on the little tags. Can't wait to start filling this page up.


The SMASH* books are perfect for keeping those image you colour that you don't wanna give away! LOL. Selfish, I know - but they help me grow as a person! :P

I'd like to enter this page into these challenges:
- Charisma Cardz - Monochrome

Please stop by the Passion for ProMarkers blog and drool overt the teams amazing creations! Seriously. Woah!!

Warm W***** Wishes

Okay. *word of warning*

Sit down. Because.. you'll be on the floor if you don't. :)


CHRISTMAS CARD!!

I warned ya.

Yip. My first 'proper' one of the year. 'Proper' meaning.. it's gonna be the first of many.. until.. well.. :/ Christmas. Hopefully one a week. If not two. I daresn't write an updated Christmas card list.. it makes me sick just thinking about it. It's gonna be over 25.. I think. Yikes. Best get my butt into gear.

So I made this as part of The Greeting Farm Customer Chat Night, which took place on Friday 17th August over at Splitcoast Stampers. I was a real trooper and stuck with them from 1am-4am. YEAH! I had a blast, and it was great to chat with a bunch of like minded people.

So that cutie up there is part of the Twinkle Tots release, if I'm not mistaken? Wanna know a secret? I bought this girlie waaaaay back when I first started using alcohol markers.. and guess what?! It was still SEALED and in the PACKET until like a week ago!! That's disgusting. 

But now I can officially say she's been coloured up, and I can cross off a Christmas card off my list!! Yeeehaaa!!

So that's it from me, before I go I'ma try my luck with some challenges. I'd like to enter this card into these challenges:
- Challenge up your life - Christmas in August
- Craft your days away - Anything Goes
FAREWELL CHALLENGE
- Just Some Lines - Layer it Up
- Crafty Ann - Christmas in August

Thank you for popping by! :) xo

Vikings at Perthshire

Yoohoo guys! After an eventful day at my friends daughters Christening, and a little nap afterwards.. it's now time for another new release over at Angie Delarie Products!! Check them OUT!!

We've got VIKINGS for ya!! Can I get a..? *grunt*?! LOL!!


These two have a story behind them, so be sure to stop by the FB group sometime tomorrow and hear all about it from Angie herself! :) Stamps with meanings behind them are always such fun!

I came up with a tag and a SMASH* page to show these two off. Here goes.



Hope that's satisfied your thirst for some Angie Delarie goodness today! 

I'm running low on twill stripe ribbon.. so I've talked myself into placing a ribbon order. HA! Like that took a lot of persuading!
