Southern Girls - Animal Antics - Milk Coffee Stamps

 

Time for another challenge here at Southern Girls Challenges,  and this week we want to see those have the title Animal Antics!  I had a fun time colouring in this cute image Charlotte and Butterfly from Milk Coffee Stamps. So anything with an animal somewhere on your project will do. Remember you can enter by email if you don't have a blog and we accept any type of papercraft projects.  Now on a sad note a number of girls from Team Trace are leaving as their term is up. These girls have done an amazing stint at Southern Girls and showed us all some pretty outstanding projects along the way. Myself and Lou would like to thank Stephanie, Kasey, Eva Marie, and Siv for all your hard work in helping make Southern Girls such a success. All the best for whatever you are moving on to.

Artfull Crafts - Inklings

Hello,  Liz from Artfull Crafts sent me over some of the new Inkling images to play around with last night. I printed out 5 last night and finally sat down this afternoon and coloured them up. I wanted to do quick easy cards to show you that even if a card takes 20 minutes to do, it can still look great if you have coloured it in well. I used all my left over Kaisercraft collections to make the card up.

First Inkling image I coloured is called Blast Off. Kaisercraft paper Collection -  Blast Off!! Perfect match, and great for those of you that enjoy bright colours.

Second card is Inkling image called Frosty Snowman. For this card I used Elegance paper from Kaisercraft.

Third card is using new Inklings image Enchanted Ella. (Think she's my favourite so far) I used Kaisercraft collection Hopscotch

Right, so if your still with me... well done!! I'm sorry it was rather a photo heavy post. But I really wanted to share my idea about quick and easy cards. All up I spent just over 2 hours creating these five. I hope I have inspired you enough to whip up some cards this weekend!



 



Happy crafting

Papervine Kit

Well its been a long, long time since I have done a kit. I normally make up my own designs and add what I want, but I couldn't resist Lowri's kit from Papervine. It was nice to just sit and relax and not have to think, the instructions were clear and precise.. easy peasy!. All the lovely trinkets and wooden frame you can buy from Papervine.

Rainy day!! - Smash Book, Saturated Canary

 

Oh its a tough life... but when your on holiday and its raining and hailing... what's the best thing to do... (apart from making Cameron's cake and other sweet treats for her 14th birthday)... yep I started my very first Smash Book. I'm not 100% happy with the first page.. I can only wish it will get better! I think the Saturated Canary image helps!!! and Krista's images always make me happy ;-)

 

Righto.... I now need to get creative with my new release  product that arrived from Marianne Design. And then I have started a little project that I got from Lowri at Papervine.... I think I am hooked and need to do more!!!
