Up, Up & Away

By
Things have settled down for a while: all the Jubilee celebrations are over, the craft fairs have happened and the workshops done and dusted. Dad's chemo is keeping him well and my Grandad who was having various tests and scans has now been given the all clear - life is good and I have time to craft and even better - brilliant challenges to take part in!

Here's my card


My sky has been stamped using a post it note mask and Tempting Turquoise ink, my balloons (from the Up, Up & Away set) have been stamped in Tangerine Tango and Cherry Cobbler ink - the base card is Very Vanilla.

These are the challenges I am entering this card into;

Simply Stampin' - Colour Challenge

    Awww, that tiny flower in the corner is so sweet, and I love the way the stamped and sponged sky only covers part of the card base. Clever! Great job with this week's CAS-ual Friday challenge:)

Yikes - I'm a bit late posting today, but when I got into my studio this morning I had forgotten that it looked like this I had a big family lunch yesterday and 'cos our house is so small, I have to keep stuff moving from room to room in order for there to be enough space. So I got to work straight away and now my desk looks like this There is a hidiously green magnetic board complete with snail magnets that I won in a raffle - just right for altering, some wooden drawer knobs onto which I will attach some foam to use with my disress inks and my chipboard albums from last week that I didn't get round to doing. Also found when clearing from one room to another was my old jewelery display board which will soon be converted to a card display board and an old set of corner shelves. All they needed was a quick flick of a J-Cloth and a spray of Flash (oops advertising - other cleaning products are avaliable) and they now stand proudly in my craft room displaying my most recent cr
