CAS Colours & Sketches Guest Designer

Hey & Happy Thanksgiving to ALL my friends in the USA & those who celebrate!

I'm back this afternoon with my last Guest Designer card & post for CAS Colours & Sketches, I'mve had so much fun in the studio creating for the challengesand the colours & sketches for November are certainly 'challenging' me to step outside of my comfort zone! 

Anyway, this week is sketch week & this super CAS sketch had me stumped for a while but then I had an 'Ah Ha' moment. You can see this weeks sketch & challenge HERE and below...

And this is the result of my 'Ah Ha' moment...

I have been slowly sorting through some old stash that has been stored away in the garage since we moved in February and I came across this cute little Santa that I bought a long long time ago from the Ink Pad in NYC. 

He just so happens to fit perfectly inside the film strip frame from Strike A Pose! and so that is what happened! In the other film strip I used a sentiment from the now retired Jolly Christmas clear stamp set. 

As you can see I embossed both the film strip frames with stardust embossing powder, fussy cut them out & adhered them to the card using foam adhesive. With all the detail to the centre of the card I added a little corner detail to the white panel before adhering it to my white card base.

Ok, that's all from me just now, but be sure to head on over to the CAS Colours & Sketches blog HERE to see the Design Team's fabulous samples & I hope to see you in the gallery! 

Thanks for stopping by today! 

Happy Birthday TIME OUT Challenges!

Hey!

Can you believe TIME OUT Challenges is celebrating its first birthday?! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TIME OUT :)

This fortnight we are celebrating with a Home Sweet Home challenge, inspired by this photo seen below...

This is how I was inspired...

As you can see I was inspired by the colours and the frames. I decided to use the filmstrip from Strike A Pose! for my frame and used Simply Said Birthday sentiments. 

Speaking of Home Sweet Home, we moved into our new sweet home last week, hence the blog-a-roo and everything being so quiet. Plus the majority of my craft supplies and life in general is in boxes! I think we will be living from boxes for a few weeks, as it's not easy unpacking with two not so little beans keeping me busy. 

My not so little beans turned 6 months old this week, this is them in their new high chairs...

Still TIME to play @ TIME OUT Challenges - Home Sweet Home

Hey!

I'm here this morning with another TIME OUT Challenges card. This fortnight is Home Sweet Home with a interiors photo to spark your inspiration...

Original Source: The Swenglish Home

This is how I was inspired by the photo...

I stuck with the same stamp set as my first card for the challenge seen HERE, but this time switched up the colours and layout. I was overall inspired by the wooden word tags and translated this with the film strip words on my card.

So, you still have a week to join in on the challenge :)

For all the info and to link up your challenge be sure to stop by the TIME OUT Challenges blog. I look forward to seeing your creations :) Until the next time, thank you for stopping by today.

Eclectic Mix

Hey & Happy Sunday!

The above offer is still on over on the website HERE, if there is something on your wish list don't leave it till the last minute as some stock is running low!!

Anyway, today I have a card using an eclectic mix of stamps and a few of my current favourites...

I love the little filmstrip frame from Strike a Pose! and I've so many ideas floating round my head to use it and this was one of them :) I combined it with English Country Garden - Butterflies, Background Builders: Vines and the sentiment from A Gift For You.

Both the filmstrip frame and butterfly have some sparkle to them added through heat embossing...

It's a mix of sunshine and showers kind of Bank Holiday weekend here in the North East, perfect for a spot of crafting, which is what I will be doing until it's time for dinner at the PIL :) I hope you're all having a lovely weekend & until tomorrow, thank you for stopping by today.

Hey & Happy Friday!

Wow, I really can't believe it's Friday already, time is seriously flying by here at Uniko Studio HQ! I found a little time to create yesterday and remembered the challenge over at Moxie FAB World HERE all to do with the camera trend - perfect for inking up the newly released Strike a Pose!

I also used the current Freshly Made Sketches layout HERE and seen below for my card as those horizontal banners were just perfect to replicate onto my card stamping the little filmstrip sentiments! 

Instead of a rectangle, which would have covered up all of the sentiment strips I decided to stamp & emboss the larger filmstrips. One straight & one on an angle and simply fussy cut round them. They are adhered to the card using foam adhesive and then a lime green camera with a pink heart & embossed sparkle finished the focal element of the card off!

Ok, that's all I have for today, it's back to business now here in the studio! I'll be back tomorrow though with more to share & until then, thank you for stopping by today :)

Edited to add - I'm also entering this into a new to me challenge called Cardz4Guyz seen HERE.
