Song Inspired at Whimsical Wednesday

 This week we want you to choose a song to inspire your project.

I was rummaging though my digi stamps and this young man jumped out- I can't even remember where I got him from but I know I hadn't used it before!

So My song is by the beach boy's - Surfin' USA.

this weeks challenge is sponsored by 3girl jam 

They are giving the winner $15 to spend in thier store.

 I have been trying to use up stash recently ( I have mountains of it!!)

I have had this "button" embellishment for years in one of my boxes. I also added some gorgeous  mesh and cheese cloth from recent buys.

 He is coloured with copic pens 

 The sentiment is from Whimsical Designs of course.

I added glossy accents to his glasses and eye.

Pintrest Inspired

 I LOVE Pinterest and have collected lots of gorgeous inspiration.

I have even made some of the "pins"

This "Inchie Book" is totally inspired by the gorgeous books that Kira Nichols has made.

 My inchies are stuck onto chip board ( Kira uses thin card ) so I have joined them with a phone cord.

I think i will use card nwxt time to make it less chunky.

 Each "page" is just white card that has been inked with distress inks then sprayed with moonglow , then stamped , inked around the edges and drawn on.

 I have found the time dies cut from memory box just fab for these.

 I have just scrawled some words onto each square before assesmbling.

 I Love the tiny birds - the branches were cut from a larger die.

 Its amazing how much mess I have made from such a tiny project !!

 

I have used the smallest amount of stash though.

Here is Hubby holding the "book" so you can see how small it is.

Thanks Pinterest :)

Mum To Be

 I Love this digi from ADFD , this is the second time i have used it but i forgot to photograph the first card. 

My son Dan  asked me to make a card for one of the learning support workers at College who is leaving soon to have a baby. So this is for her.

 I have used copic pens to colour her and just added stickles and rhinestones.

 I like the bright colouirs and just embossed the background card.

The stamp is from Stephanie at Whimsical Designs - I thought the sentiment was just right for this image.

I am entering this into the ADFD "Anything Goes" challenge

and

The One Stop Craft challenge "Anything Goes"

May Scrapology Cards - Use your Stash!

 Good Morning! 

This month at Scrapology, we would like you to use up some old stash - Don't tell me that you don't have any ..It could be from last year- you know that stuff you are saving for a "special Occasion" or from years ago when you first started - You might not even like it - we challenge you to USE it :).

My first card is pretty "safe" old- er papers , some gorgeous buttons that i was "saving" and some of those rainbow drops that i have had for ages ( and still quite like) 

 Combined with a new(ish) digi stamp from Sassy Cheryl.

 I LOVE the background paper ( another i was saving) I think its from ATDML store from a few years ago.

 I have coloured with copics and added some glossy accents.

 For my second card i literally closed my eyes and put my hand into a box of embellishments that i haven't even opened for years ( yes i am a craft hoarder!) . I pulled out that awful cork "thing" from around 2004/5?

 I used old papers - I only have bits of them left so not 100% sure of the makes , although one is definitely sassafras lass.

I even used an old stamp on the cork. The stickers are from MM Christmas glitter stickers from about 4 yrs ago.

Okay now its YOUR turn.

Pop over to the main blog to check out the fab inspiration from the rest of the DT and details of a great prize.
