Don't you just love this dinosaur? he is from the new set "Little Buddy Birthday" it's so adorable! His tiny teeth are hidden behind the balloon string but they are sooo cute! This little guy was a special order for a friend's grandson.  I am popping this little dino dude into the Paper Players Challenge 209  Clean and simple Kids Birthday. I think this is clean and simple (trust me it's much simpler than it looks! - aah, the tricks o' the trade) but you could always leave off the light blue layer... I used the Stars Decorative Mask, for my background. I think this tool will get a great workout as it's very easy to use and I think the results are spectacular (toot toot)...

Why don't you head on over to the Paper Players and check out the other creations...

Hello, inspiration, where are you?

Last week I made this bag and matching "pouch" with my Designer Flirtatious Fabric from Stampin' Up!  I made this especially for my simply scored as it is an awkward size and I just didn't have a pretty bag that it would fit into ;)  The little pouch will be (like a pencil case) for my "all the time tools".

Well as my title suggests, my inspiration has taken a vacation. You know when you "see" an end result in your head and then it turns out to be totally different? Well, that has been what the last few days have been like for me - in all aspects!  My Mojo Monday didn't turn out how I thought it would, so I went and did a Paper Players challenge.  Anyway after both cards I decided that I need to give Crumb Cake a rest for a week or two and go with something brighter and more "cheery" like the "brights" collection.

This is the sketch for Mojo Monday 250

Here's my Mojo

 

As I mentioned above I have done a Paper Players challenge too.

My creation... Only Crumb Cake and Versamark ink (plus some glue and Stampin Glass Glitter).

I used the adorning accents edgelit die to make the banner, I scored the bit that folds under to raise the main part then glued and glittered the out side edge then when I looked at it I realised that I had done the wrong side! I stamped this side originally (before scoring and glue/glitter) and thought that it looked crooked so I re inked and heat embossed the other side but did not realise that I was finishing off on the wrong side...  grrrrrr 

Until next time, keep stampin' Marls xx
