Today I'm joining in with....

 The Shabby Tea Room challenge which is 'Dear to my heart'.... the distress inks have taken a hammering again...lol  Can't keep my hands off them.  Well my reinkers to be precise because I much prefer these to the ink pads.  Nuts I know... but I just find I can do so much more with them and I also love the cute bottles that they come in :D

I enjoyed making this little heart hanger and once again used a stamp from Crafty Individuals... I used it a few times so that I could change the colour of the hearts before cutting them out and adding them to different areas of  the large hand cut heart.

Sir Stampalot challeng - Blossoms and Butterflies

This is the first ever easel card I have made.... I have seen soooo many around blogland but put off making one myself but when I came across these gorgeous Basicgrey papers  in my stash I just new I had to use them to make one.  This months Sir Stampalot challenge with the theme Blossoms and Butterflies just screamed out to me to so here is my entry.


I used another chipboard frame like yesterdays... but this one is obviously a lot smaller and I left this one white, the texture of the white coating is so smooth it looks just as lovely without any inking i think.


I framed another lady image stamped from Crafty Individuals ladies collection onto Papermania paper and stamped some lovely cute butterflies also from Crafty Individuals to adorn my card.



The flowers were cut from sections of the background paper and layered up (am in 3d mode again...have you noticed... so sick of working on flat things....lol ...
 just wait to see what I've got in store for the next few weeks!!)


My most favourite part of the paper was this amazing red (my favourite colour...oooooooh) and pink flower.  It's just a gorgeous size and makes a statement just on it's own eh!!  I finished off with a sentiment stamp and another butterfly before edging the whole thing with.... wait for it............... rofl........ distress ink :D

Queen atc

The new images from Lisa's altered art make it amazingly easy to create beautiful  art.  I think the new Paris backgrounds and images are totally gorgeous and couldn't wait to use them.


A little bit of decoupage made it touchy feely and I think she looks royal with her fab crown :D

See you soon
