Candle Stamping!!

This is the first time I have tried stamping onto candles and finally got it right! Its going to be a bit of a tight Christmas this year so thought that these would make great extra add in for pressies for friends and family (and cheaper than chocolates) I have been experimenting with colours and colouring mediums. (and still need to find the perfect stamp for them too but I'm sure I will get there!!) Let me know what you think.

Die Cut Dreams DT call

Well over on the Die Cut Dreams challenge blog the design team are looking for another DT member. Well I thought I would give it a go!!!! The theme is Pink and Girly (which if any of you know me is just made for me!!) Well if you have been on my blog recently you will notice that I'm really into Christmas cards at the moment so I thought that I would give a really girly card. The image is my favourite Tilda image (at the moment) she is coloured using glittery gel pens and I have highlighted the crown with red glitter for the holly berries. I have layered her over an embossed Christmas tree from a Cuttlebug embossing folder with tiny gems (that I bought from ebay) for the lights. The background is stamped with this years Xmas set from Inkadinkado and the flowers are from Papermania. I hope that you like this :)

Saturday Sketch

Another challenge today and I'm really beginning to get into these sketches. The design team at Saturday sketch have an amazing talent and you can see there samples here. Now my wonderful other half bought me the new Daisy and Dandelion friends, Percy and Penolope the penguins, stamp set ( I think that they are the cutest!) so thought that I would use them on this sketch. The background is made from another new christmas stamp set that I have bought recently. I hope that you like it

Took the day off today so thought I would spend the time doing what I wanted to do- so tht means crafting!!! Anyway another day another blog challenge - lol!! anyway on crafty creations the challenge this week is Ice cream and cakes. So for this card I have used ice cream colours and made a stamped cupcake background. then I layered a forever friends sticker over embossed card stock and finished it with ribbon and flowers

one for the girls

another blog challenge today - this time I've entered the Totally Papercrafts blog challenge which this week is one for the girls. you can see the dt designs here and as usual they are excellent. I have used the image that I won a few weeks ago from totally papercrafts which is made by the greeting farm, layered over a happy birthday embossing folder from cuttlebug. I love the black and red combination and I hope you like it too :)

Over on the Bah Humbug challenge blog the theme this week is "Less Is More." The design teams creation are excellent and you can see them here.
