Saturated Canary challenge #53!!

Yeah! Time for a new Challenge over at Saturated Canary and this time it is my turn to chose a theme.....drum roll......

"Paper Piecing!"

Now the details....

You must use either a:

Saturated Canary Digi, 

Saturated Canary rubber stamp, 

or Simply Sassy rubber stamp 

I have used the fabulous "Princess Peanelope"  I have never really done that much paper piecing before so wanted to give it a try and I have to say this one was a bit of a challenge but I am sooooo pleased with how she has turned out.......it took me forever to print out each wee piece of the different mattresses....I used up a load of my scraps to make this card!

I have added a tiny wee pea.......I gave this card to my Goddaughter....when she was little I was staying over at theirs one night as her Mum and I were having a wee wine and nibbles night....she put a pea under my pillow to see if I was a princess....cuteness!!

I hope you like and that I have inspired you to have a go and enter the challenge!
Hugs

Saturated Canary Challenge #52

Time for another Saturated Canary Challenge!! This fortnight the lovely Vicky has chosen Shabby Chic!

Now the details....

You must use either a:

Saturated Canary Digi, 

Saturated Canary rubber stamp, 

or Simply Sassy rubber stamp 

I haven't really done much Shabby Chic before so after a quick few hours on Pinterest I had an idea of the style

 I have used the beautifully cute Butterfly Baby  lots of layers, distressing and inking of edges and I am pretty pleased with the result!  I am even happy with my flower arranging too! 

On a sadder note....I don't know if any of my lovely followers remember the guinea pigs we got from the rescue centre a couple of years ago....well Jude's one, Coco, died on Monday when I got home from work, she had been poorly for a wee while and I think her wee body just gave up....it was very sad.... and I had one of the worst moments for a parent...telling Jude when she got home from school...her heart was broken 

This was the letter she wrote when she was at school the next day....I had tears streaming down my face when she showed it to me!

Hugs

Saturated Canary Challenge #51

OOOo late again sorry!

We have a good one for you over at Saturated Canary Challenges this fortnight....the fab Ruby gave us the challenge to use a "Colouring Technique", so No lines, fancy backgrounds......you get the idea?

Now the details....

You must use either a:

Saturated Canary Digi, 

Saturated Canary rubber stamp, 

or Simply Sassy rubber stamp 

Now I have to admit I kinda freaked a bit when I saw the No lines as I have only tried it maybe once or twice...and I know I could have gone for a fancy background but I like to challenge myself! lol  I chose Mousey Mo   (little secret...chose this one has she only has one eye showing and that seems to be the bit that I struggle with...shhhhh don't tell)  I was cross-eyed by the time I had finished....you certainly have to concentrate!

I took sooooo long to colour her that I decided to let her be the main focus of the card and kept the rest pretty simple....

We have had drama here this past week.......Jude was sitting on a fence at the local playground chatting to her pals and fell off....resulting in a broken wrist!! For those who follow my blog...the SAME one she broke and dislocated last year.....I was so scared that she had dislocated the elbow again cos that would have meant a trip to Inverness to get it pinned....eeek! But thankfully it is a small break and she will get the stookie......scots word for cast ;0).......off on the 16th!

I am celebrating Summer.....now I know we are having pants weather here in the Highlands but school is out for seven weeks and as I am a Dinner Lady I am off too!!! Woop!!

I have used Smokin Hot for my card....pretty clean and simple again, I have been slightly slow on the old cardmaking just now...I have been getting a bit too hung up on the colouring, there are so many fab peeps out there who's colouring just blows me away and I have been doubting myself a wee bit and concentrating too much on how I colour.  I have loads of images coloured....it has just taken me so long I kinda lose the will a bit to make a card with them......but as I am off I have given myself a kick up the butt and not worry about the colouring and just get making again!

The paper is a magazine freebie I have had for ages.....some Fishtail dies using some scraps and a wee bit of Washi Tape..........*sigh* so wish I looked like this in a bikini!lol

Head on over to the blog and see what my teamies have come up with....stunning does not describe!!

please excuse the terrible photos.....I only finished it late last night! tut tut

I had coloured the cute "Sketchie" at the weekend with my Promarkers and as I was just messing about with colours I didn't keep note of the ones I used...but I loved how it came out so wanted to use it on my card!

Kristas Etsy store is empty now as the NEW website should be opening very soon!! Cannot wait to see it!!

Now I also have a confession to make....I have been a wee bit naughty and bought some new 12x12 papers when I  said I wasn't going to until I had used up some of my huge stash...but I could not resist this gorgeous butterfly paper from Papermania....it was only a couple of sheets!

The flowers I have had in my box for ages and the lovely green pearls were from my shopping trip to the Craft show at the SECC back in March.

I hope you like and please get yourself over to the Challenge blog...there are some STUNNING cards to look at!!
