INKspired #34 - Wish Big

Yes another two weeks have passed us by and it's time to be hopping around the INKspired Artists Blog Hop number 34!  Before me on the hop is Lisa Eaton. If you didn't come from there then you can certainly get to her by going all the way around or back to her by clicking on her name.

As always we get a sketch that we each interpret in our own way.

This is my interpretation of the sketch

Next up is Maree McIntosh

  

Happy Birthday to my Mummy!

Ok, Ok, this card is TOTALLY cased from Teneale Williams ~ well it's my "creative interpretation"!  I did warn her...  Now, let me just say, after (re-)creating this card, I have discovered that sewing on my cards is just not happening. Well, at least not with the mini-machine I got for the soul purpose of sewing on cards with. Hence the lace on the top and bottom of the panel ;) ~ Yep, total COVER UP! Four attempts and the tension just would not play nice :(

 



 

As the title suggests, it was my mum's birthday this week.

My gorgeous girls made some great things for Nanny's birthday and

I promised I would post them for the whole world to see.

 

Here is Claire's Dog (to replicate my mum's pooch)

Wobbly belly, shiny nose and lead for walkies too.

 

 

Nat opted for the "side step" card with the "Fabulous You" shoe (coloured and cut out by herself),

pierced birthday banner and postage punch "Nan"

 

And my mum is a keen West Tigers supporter so we made her a cake too!

Nat insisted we have orange icing with black writing.

 

 

It is school holidays here in NSW so I will try to get some cards made and posted during the holidays but each time I get in my craft room I get swamped by the masses (well, the two girls who love to create with me). I will post my MIL's birthday card but not until I have given it to her - can't spoil the surprise... Let me just say it is a new (for me) technique I tried and I think it turned out great.  Time will tell.

 

Until next time, Keep Stampin'  Marls xx

Missed it by "that much"!

 Well Thanks to Pentaq I'm now able to connect to the world wide web! Unfortunately I missed out on this weeks JUGS challenge, but I'll show you anyway.  The challenge colour this week - I find colour challenges a bit "challenging" sometimes (really?) I just can't get the colours to work the way I want them too but I think I nailed it with my Betsy Blossom bird...

I made this one to give away to a co-worker who is having her birthday today!

 

 

Well, there's only a few more hours until JUGS post the next challenge so I will wait with eager anticipation!  Keep stampin'  - even if you know you can't upload it in time!  ;)  Marls xx
