Dare U 2 Digi Stamp Challenge 14 - Embossing

At Dare U2 Digi Stamp this week we have a great challenge for you which is embossing. It can ve wet or dry embossing or both if you like and if you check out the blog you will see the fabulous ideas that the DT have come up with this week.

I have used one of the digi images that I got from Nikki's online store which you can find Here this cute little girl with her bunny is one of a set of 3 from Scrapmagasinet. I also had the excuse this week to bring out my cuttlebug embossing folders which I really do not use enough. For the first time I have used one of these folders on some DP as I usually only use them with cardstock and I am really impressed with the subtle results that I got from this. The DP is K&C Sparkly Sweet and the flowers are by prima. I have used this week's fab sketch at Our Creative Corner and this card also fits the challenge at ScrapMagasinet which is to use flowers on your card.

We had horrendous thunder and rain as I left the office last night to catch my usual train that takes 40 minutes and gets me home at 6pm. I was drenched by the time I reached the station, lightening had hit the signals and the trains were all stuck in the station. To cut a long story short, I eventually got home at 9.40pm. - not a happy bunny!!!

On a happier note, I am heading off to Glasgow tomorrow to see The Eagles in concert tomorrow night - can't wait.
Have a lovely weekend.

Copics Colour Challenge 18

It's Copic Colour Challenge day again. I love the colours for this weeks challenge - R85, BG05 and Y15 which were chosen by Stacey.

I have followed the sketch over at Scrapmagasinet Challenge blog this week and have used one of their stamps that I chose as my prize for winning their last chalenge - thanks Lisbet, I love it. This was a fabulous sketch to follow and I think that these weeks colours at Copics Colour Challenge were just perfect for this image. DP is by K&Co and flowers from Hobbycraft.
I hope that all you copics addiscts get a chance to join in the challenge this week and check out the blog to see the wonderful prize that is on offer this week and catch up with seeing the beautiful creations that the DT have to show this week.

Inspirational Card Sketches - #19 and my first ScrapMagasinet Challenge card

It is Tuesday again and time for another great sketch over at ICS. Go check ou the blog to see what the other DT members have created this week with this new sketch from Dawn and to see the wonderful prize that is up for grabs this week.

I have used this wonderful stamp from ScrapMagasinet this week. I have been looking at these stamps for ages but the only place that you could get them until recently was from Norway and I just never got round to trying to make sense of the blog as it is not in English (I am just too lazy!!). However my good friend Nikki has started selling these stamps on her ETSY shop, along with some other great crafting goodies so I was finally able to get my hands on some of these fab stamps. The papers that I have used are by Stampin Up and I have also used some more of these great little adhesive glitterdots by papermania which I adore.

Have a great week and I am looking forward to seeing your creations with tis week's sketch.
