Loves me not

Afternoon everyone. It is Sunday here in Australia and I spent most of yesterday away from the house. Gosh the kids drive me crazy but thankfully they are back at school/kinder tomorrow so I have some time away from them even if it is a short while.

Today I have a card I made with this sketch. I thought this sketch was for something else so spent a lot of time trying to get it perfect and then realized that I actually used the wrong sketch. Grrr....!!! Anyway if anyone knows what challenge this sketch is from I would appreciate you telling me so I can enter the challenge.

I used 'Loves Me Not' from Spesch Designer Stamps. She is just lovely to colour. Take care. Have a good Sunday.

Spesch release blog hop

Woot woot did we have fun on the Spesch Blog hop....????

If you aren't here from the blog hop - why don't you pop on by the blog and start on the hop. We are giving away some stamps from the release. If you have come from Sammi's blog however you are in the right place and the last stop along the way but don't be shy - please pop back to the Spesch blog and let me know what you think of the new stamps by our gorgeous new artist Suzui and of course the Ashley design by Sylvia (see below).

Anyway here is my show and tell.

Ashley by Sylvia.

Gameplay by Suzui.

Lidia by Suzui

This was coloured with new colouring 'skills'

Using the sketch from Stamp with Fun.

With old colouring 'skills'.

Using sketch from Sketch Saturday.

Which Lidia card do you like the best (coloring wise)....???

Let me know.

All these cards are entered in to the new Papertake Weekly Challenge

of 'Anything Goes'.

PS is you are curious these were coloured a while ago so not with the new techniques from certification.

So sorry

Why am I sorry....??? Well because I am not happy with this card at all and did not do this gorgeous stamp by Sylvia at Wee Stamps justice what so ever. When I coloured this image for this sketch - from The Sweet Stop - I had a different picture of how it would turn out. I don't know why I don't like it. Maybe it is the size of the Silver Fairy or maybe it is the colours. I can't figure it out. But to suffice to say I am not happy and thus I haven't completely finished the card. So a big sorry to Sylvia for not doing a very good job with this.

A close up. I printed this out a couple times and layered up some of the bits like the hair wings, dress and shin covers. I truly am not happy with this at all. I suppose we are our own biggest critics.

All I can say is "TGIF"....!!!!! I have my Copic Intermediate Certification on Sunday. Looking forward to that.

bye. Enjoy your weekend.

March Release at Spesch

Good morning all. Over at Spesch Stamps we have a new release of three Easter stamps. There is two new ones from Max and one from Sylvia. Why don't you pop on over to the Spesch blog and see the inspiration from the DT with the new stamps.

Goth Easter by Max

Little Red by Max

Bunny with Chick by Sylvia.

Also available with flowers on the egg.

Sorry I was lazy this release and didn't make anything for it.

WOYWW & Cody and Stars

Wow it has been a while since I did a Whats on your Workdesk Wednesday post but here it is. As you can see as always my table is pretty neat. At the bottom left of the picture there is an Atkins snack bar. I am addicted to them LOL. That tray holds my card to stamp on and also all the stamped images I already have - lol - they are covered in the DP in the photo. On my desk you can also see the below card. This card was made with a new image from Sylvia Zet at Wee Stamps. I am a huge fan of Sylvia's - of course being a designer for Spesch stamps and all and needed to do a shout out about her little give away too. If you pop on over to Sylvia's blog you will be able to find out how to get Suzi for free. This stamps is called Cody and Stars. So cute.

Okay enough babbling from me.

This card was made with the sketch from Sketch Saturday.

Wee Stamps

The very talented Sylvia Zet who designs for Spesch Stamps has opened up her own Digital stamp online store. You can not believe how excited I am. I can't wait to see what she brings out for her lovely fans. Check it out here. I am sure there is going to be whimsical and cute stamps galore. Good work Sylvia.

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas everyone

I thought I would steal this from Sylvia's blog (designer for Spesch).

Please drop by share some love and follow her blog.

Spesch release day - Fairytale 2

Good morning everyone. How are we all...??? Good I hope.

Today we have another gorgeous release from Spesch Stamps. All the new stamps today have been designed by the very talented Sylvia. We have the gorgeous 'Little Elf', 'Forest Elf', 'Draggy' and 'Moon'. The later two are shown below. All of the DT have done an amazing job and I am so proud of them all. Enjoy. I will be tucked in bed (this is scheduled) and will release the stamps as soon as I can drag myself out of bed. Have a good one.

Fairytale Release Day by Sylvia

Good morning good morning. Oh my I am so super excited. The very talented Sylvia has designed some fabulous stamps for us at Spesch Stamps. I just love them. They really are gorgeous. Sylvia has been designing childrens illustrations for a while and when I asked her to design for us at Spesch she was rapt. She is very talented. You need to check out her work here.

Today I am showing you two of the four stamps available.

Birdy in Love (my fav)

Princess with cake

These really were fun to colour but the best thing about these two is you get two for one for each design. Can you see it....??? The Birdy in love can be cropped to have just the gorgeous little bird and the cake stamp can have the little dog cropped and used as a stand alone stamp too. Cool huh....!!!!

The four new stamps will be available later this morning. Make sure you check out the DT's work on the Spesch blog. You won't be disappointed. The girls have done a fabulous job.
