Lauries Fabulous Favourites

This week was about using your favourite background stamp and I did not have one from Ink to Paper so I decided to make my own with using a Papertrey Ink Stencil so hope that is okay!
I used the new Framing Florals Stamp Set..............Love this to bits and hope to add the Birch background to my collection one day soon :)

Laurie's Fabulous Favourites....Paper Scraps

I adore Laurie's creations and this week is no exception :). I was also very delighted to receive my very first order of Ink to Stamps sets and love this Frame It Out set to bits <3. I found some left over card stock and stamped some fun circular patterns from the Lets Fiesta Set in the matching inks and then opened the beautiful Frame It Out set to finish my card off.

Laurie's Fabulous Favourites Ink to Paper Challenge

It feels like forever since I made a card and it has been a while. I am sooooo loving the new Ink to Paper stamps and had a couple of sets arrive today <3
I love Lauries Fabulous favourites and it is so nice to see her creations each week. I played along this week and I decided two things...............I was going to play with a set I have had and adored for a long time and use a colour that is not my norm to turn to :)
Here is my card, the flowers are from the set Bloomers which is among one of the first set I purchased. I selected Lavender Moon to create with and really happy with the outcome <3 I need to go sleep now as just finished a night shift with one left then two off to play with my new goodies.

Win it Wednesday

Been a few weeks since I have played as so busy prepping the house and gardens for winter. But this week has seen me with some creative time so here I am. I adore this stamp set called Orchid Expressions and cannot believe I had it on my wish list for so long :).
This week is about choosing your favourite style so I went with layering............now this is really a challenge for me and of late I have been trying to challenge myself with more layers so I hope I did okay with todays card :). Here is the card

Here is a photo to show a little of the layering that I did. Love how people layer and want to do more :) thanks for dropping in and I hope you have a wonderful crafty week.

Southern Girls Frame it

I have recently started scrapbooking again and loved the new challenge so thought I would scrapbook a page for my daughters album with a frame in use :). I think I am getting the bug, so many wonderful pages of inspiration out there. When I lived in Australia I loved to visit the KaiserCraft stores and have  little splurge.............Was delighted when I read they are now shipping to NZ and have a few goodies on the way :)
This are some older Crate Paper goodies I have in my stash.................Thanks for dropping in today :)

Southern Girls Challenge

I recently bought this beautiful stamp from Papertrey Ink and I adore it! Any excuse to ink it up sounds good to me so when I saw the Challenge for this week I thought YES my heart contains flowers so it meets the criteria and I got creating :)
This is the second time I have used this stamp and honestly think it will be a regular for when needing to create................Just love it to bits. So without further ado here is the card I created. Thanks for dropping by!

Southern Girls Challenge.....Girl Power

As soon as I saw this challenge I knew the perfect stamp lol. Here is to the ongoing numerous requests for 'I don't care' I experience when asking the kids what they want for dinner. Girl power to us that continue to supply all those meals :)
