Fabulous

Hello

For my card today I have used Art Impressions Selma in her gorgeous striped bathing suit - she also comes in a set with her friend Gladys and the sentiments are so funny.  I love mixing and matching my Ai images and sentiments for more versatility, so I used the 'Fabulous' sentiment on this card.

Thanks for stopping by :)

It's Lauren A!!!!

Congratulations Lauren. Please email me with your address and I will pop a little something in the mail for you. 

Angeline is so good at creating focal points on her cards. Here she has masked a circle and used the woodgrain stamp from 'Grunge' by Skipping Stones Designs. She then layered die cuts 'chloe stem' from Memory Box and these adorable bird dies from 'Folk Art Florals' by Wplus9.

Angeline

Ange has a wonderful CAS card using dies. She has also used 'Folk Art Floral' dies from Wplus9 and combined it with 'fresh cut grass' die from MFT. The sponged clouds in the background are beautifully done.

 Ange

I love the way Iwona has coloured these adorable air balloons from 'Old Fashioned Afternoon' by Sweet Stamp Shop - another fabulous CAS card.

 Iwona

I have used this adorable image from 'Funny Bunnies' by Lil' Inker Designs for my baby card - coloured with copics. I have also used 'Fishtail Banner' dies from MFT.

Thanks so much for stopping by :)

Jay Gee's Nook - And A Welcome Back

Hello

I have some truly gorgeous cards to share with you today, but first, I would like to welcome back Iwona to the Jay Gee's Nook Design Team! We are so excited to have her join us again :)

And can I just say WOW! This card is amazing - Iwona is certainly back with a bang :) Superb colouring as always. This adorable image is called 'The Runaway' from Gorjuss.

Iwona

I LOVE the elegant look of this bookmark. Angeline used 'Beautiful Botanicals' from Skipping Stones Designs. Make sure you pop on over to Angeline's blog - she has made more of these gorgeous bookmarks in a variety of colours.

 Angeline

How perfect is this card from Ange!  It is brilliant use of negative die space for a fun rainbow effect. The image is from Paper Smooches 'Teen Routine' and the music notes die is from MFT.

Ange

For my card I used this super sweet 'Poppy' image from Purple Onions Designs, coloured with Prisma pencils (still learning to get the hang of these :)) The sentiment is from Jane's Doodles 'Just Dad' set and the little banners from 'Party Time'. The embossed background is an old Cuttlebug folder called 'bloom dots'.

I am entering this into the current Simon Says Challenge -Animal Antics.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend :)

Hello

Are you having a lovely weekend? Mine is very quiet, but that's just what I needed after a busy week at work :)

I have some fabulous cards to share with you today. Ange has gone girly and bright with this gorgeous birthday card. I love this colour combo and isn't her colouring amazing! This very sweet image is 'Balloon Kaylee' from Some Odd Girl.

 Ange

Wow, Angeline just has such a fabulous clean style and all her cards are just gorgeous! This is such a clever use of the 'Chloe stem' die from Memory Box.

 Angeline

I have a friend who just got a new puppy, so I thought I would make a tag to go onto a bag of dog food I got as a 'welcome' present. The tag is a die from MFT - 'Tag - You're it'. The little puppy is stamped on patterned paper and it and the sentiment are from 'Buddie-Bee' by the Sweet Stamp Shop. To finish it off I added twine from The Twinery.

It's hard to tell in the first photo, but the puppy was pieced and lifted with dimensional foam.

Well, I am going to be having a busy time on the blog this week, starting tomorrow, so I hope you will pop back and have a look.

Thanks for stopping by:)

LOL, who wouldn't love a pair of socks like this! Angeline has made a fun card using 'Hello Friend' from Avocado Arts.

 Angeline

I decided to play along with Paper Smooches Sparks challenge today, it's been a while since I last joined in. The challenge is to use this photo as inspiration.

I used the colours as the base for my card. I have used stamps from Paper Smooches 'Perpetual Bliss'. The papers are from My Minds Eye, 'Blush' and die cut with Die-namics 'Fishtail Flag Stax'.

Have a fantastic day :)

Lazy Sunday

Hello!


As my blog title suggests, I have had a very lazy Sunday so far... it's been fabulous.  I did have enough energy to make a card to share - but first, lets see what the DT girls have done :)


Angeline has made a perfect Father's Day card using 'Grunge' from Skipping Stones Designs - simple, graphic and those nuts make a wonderful embellishment. 

 Angeline

I love this plaid kite Ange has made - such a fun and adorable card. The stamps used are 'Cut Loose' and 'Word Salad', both from Paper Smooches.

 Ange

I have used lots of fun goodies on my card. This gorgeous background is the new impression plate from WPlus9, it makes a lovely deep impression.  The 'hello' sentiment I cut using MFT Die-namics and the fun bunny is from 'Grey Hares' by Skipping Stones Designs.

I used these wonderful colours from the current Play Date Cafe challenge as inspiration. My Raspberry and Blackberry colours are as close as I could get :)

Enjoy you day :)

Design Team Cards

Hello and happy Sunday :)

Before I show you todays cards, I just wanted to remind you of our current challenge - you still have time to play. The details can be found here.

Wow, this card by Ange is just stunning! This gorgeous image is from 'Victorian Summer' from Skipping Stone Designs.

 Ange

Not only is this card by Angeline gorgeous, but it is a great way to use up scraps. I just love the design of this card and that font is fantastic. The sentiments are from Purple Onion Designs - 'Baby Noteblock'.

 Angeline

My card today uses a few products. Those fun bunnies are from 'Grey Hares' by Skipping Stone Designs, the tree is 'Twiggy Tree' from Memory Box, the grass die is from My Favorite Things Die-namics and the sentiment is from Lawn Fawn's 'Sophie's Sentiments'. (I actually made a boo boo with the sentiment and this is the only way I could cover it up)  :( 

Well I hope you enjoy the rest of your weekend.

It's Sunday...

... which means it's time for a Jay Gee's Nook DT post :)

First up today we have this lovely, elegant one layer card from Angeline. I love the rich red teamed with white on kraft - all stamps are from Jane's Doodles 'Pretty Peonies' set.

 Angeline

If you find masculine cards hard to make, then look no further than Joy's wonderful blog for inspiration - she often makes fantastic masculine cards and this one is no exception. For the background she has used Hero Arts 'Newspaper Background' and the clock is from Hero Arts 'Special Time' set.

 Joy

Isn't this card just so sweet! Iwona has really highlighted this adorable image with her amazing colouring and wonderful card design. The stamp is called 'Bluebirds Proposal' from Gorjuss.

 Iwona

CAS at its best describes Ange's awesome card! I love how she has layered this fun gnome from Paper Smooches 'Forest Whimsy' set. The fun speech bubble is a Die-namics die from MFT.

 Ange

Like most of us, I have a nice collection of patterned paper that sits on my desk. Occasionally I look through it, I might even use a tiny bit to do some paper piecing, but the majority just sits. So when I saw the current challenge over at Lily Pad - to make a card that uses patterned paper - it was the perfect incentive to actually USE some of that paper that just sits.

The paper is from Basic Grey's 'Life of the Party' and the sentiment strip is from Purple Onion Designs. The sassy cat from Paper Smooches 'Party Posse' is coloured with distress inks.

And lastly, I would like to remind you about our current challenge - all the details are here :)

Have a wonderful Sunday.

Jay Gee
