WOYWW wk218 & New Paperbabe Stamps

Well this was my desk this morning while I busied finishing my sample for today's release... I know cutting it fine, but I'm still in catch up mode from being in Ireland last week,

So, I thought I would take a quick piccy and take part in WOYWW, it's been ages since I've entered..

This is my new MayLeeDee Kimono Stamp, coloured her in using my copics... just love them!

Here's the finished card... there's more samples to see over at Paperbabe Stamps Blog

Thanks for stopping by,

Have a wonderfully creative day

Lots of Challenges!!!

Hello, good morning!

Elaine has the Artistic Outpost - Bluebird stamp set in stock at Quixotic and I had to have a them. I've used Distress Stain - Antique Linen and distress ink on the doily, then stamped the bird image using Archival - Coffee.

The gorgeous papers are Graphic 45 - Once Upon A Springtime and I've finished the bow with a Pearl Spray.

I have tried to include a few challenges in my card, tee hee...

Papertake Weekly ~ anything-goes

and I have the optional extra of the stamp set and papers as my newbie stuff :)

for the play date cafe pdcc#75

The silver is the pearl sprig

Card Patterns ~ Sketch 109

and while I was in the entering challenges mood I thought I would snap a quick picture of my extremely messy desk to play over at Julia's place... aka WOYWW. This is after I made my card and there's lots of bits left from other makes too :)

So I hope it inspires, have a wonderful Wednesday
Hoping to have a little flower tutorial for those who enquired, see you tomorrow!

Wild Wednesday...

GOOD MORNING...

Now...  it's my turn to set the challenge over at Club Anya & Friends today and this Wednesday it's another colour theme but something a little sweet..
 

Pink Chocolate Roses...

Yes we would love to see pink, brown and rose colours on your creations, here's my card using the adorable Nahla from the fantastic Roll Call set,

I went for some very old paper in my paper tower, this is one of the first collections I purchased ages ago but it's nice to give it another lease of life and I thought the colours would be lovely and subtle for the challenge! Totally inspired by Mercy's fantastic Sketch and I experimented with my stitched ribbon by pulling the top thread to create my very own custom made no sew ruffle. The embellishment is shrink plastic stamped with the spotlight set butterfly. If you haven't guessed already... I may have coloured her using my copics ha ha ha!

She really reminds me of Maoleidigh, super cute innocent eyes and that unruly curly hair. We are trying to grow sunflowers... which she insists need picking and putting elsewhere (way before the shoot is and inch tall.. LOL)

So, seeing as I participated in WOYWW last week I thought I would show you the mess I have to clear up today after my little creativity yesterday....

I had to hide a few things as they're for magazine article... but this is the main working area of my desk and there's certainly loads to see, bits and bobs everywhere ha ha ha!!! Ooo look at my new ink blending tool holder, not sure it will stay there. Such a fab thingy, I have writen the colours onto the blending foam but (as I found out you will need to heat set it or it will contaminate your work Big Time). I still have acrylic paints and medium sat on my desk since the painting I did a few months ago tut tut. Also I see a stack of stamps to put away.. I'm hoping to nose round a few more desks this week,

Thanks so much for stopping by, have a wonderful day BiG HuGs Kim :)

Wild Card Wednesday ~ Summer

Wow good morning, Lots to share this Wednesday LOL, like WCW, WOYWW, 2S4Y, Mad for Markers...

For WCW this week the talented Kelly is challenging you to create a project with a summer theme using as much yellow as possible... So I HAD to use Summer from TGF Roll Call Set and I've used plenty of yellow! so fun. I went for a picnic theme really, the gingham fits in so well. I then coloured the pretty Summer using my copics (of course), gave her a little grassy garden and even managed to colour the whole sky background! I've attempted feather blending on her outfit and a little on her hair. Which fits in nicely with the challenge over at Mad for Markers challenge. And in  case you can't see it, I have used Laura's wonderful sketch over at 2Sketches4You. Just budged the ribbon down a little to hold the cute sentiment!

Supplies: Patterned Paper: October Afternoon: fly a kite;

Stamps: The Greeting Farm: Roll Call - Summer + sentiment;

What's on Your Workdesk? Wednesday

Now, I've been eager to participate in WOYWW for ages... so took the opportunity to snap a quick picture of this desk. OK so it's not my usual desk this is the dinner table but it's so nice to bring things out here and have the wonderful help for my adorable assistant to mount and organise my growing stamp collection.

I like to laminate the image card as the stamp clings so well to the back. Then arrange in a drawer...

Here's Dillon waiting so intently for the laminator to do its job, LOL

Now here they are in there new home organised and tidy, I have a draw just for Anya stamps now as well as one for The Greeting farm LOL (not that I'm addicted or anything ;)

See... I have other stamps too, which I organise pretty much the same way and if I don't have an image card I simply stamp my own!!!

Thank you so much for stopping by today and hope the middle of your week will be creative and inspiring too, HuGs Kim :)
