Just Add Ink - Sketch Challenge

Just Add Ink 223

Handmade Love

When I was making this card I was thinking of my Nan, who would have loved not only the colours and the flowers, but also the design. I feel it's a bit oriental and she would have loved that. 

My beautiful Nan left this us a few years ago. I miss her everyday, and thought of her the whole time I made this card and even though I can't thank her in person, I wanted to thank her for all her handmade goodness she used to make us, from biscuits and pikelets, the best battered fish and roast dinners we will ever eat to the crotched tea-towels, coat-hangers and knitted slippers. Thanks Nan for all your handmade love. 

The challenge this week over at Just Add Ink is a sketch challenge:

Stamp Set: I like you (pg 237 - Hostess Set)

Accessories: Stampin Blendabilites, Seam Binding Ribbon, Bakers Twine

Colour Combination: Whisper White, Crisp Cantaloupe, Crumb Cake

Just Add A Shaker!

Over at Just Add Ink this week the challenge is to create a shaker card. I took a few photos of this card to try and get the right angle so you could see the full effect. 

I used a journalling card from the Project Life Everyday Adventure Card Collection.

Page 189 - $20.95

NEW PRODUCTS

Project Life By Stampin' Up! 

Do you have boxes full of photos? 

OR 

Is your computer hard drive full of unprinted images? Might be time to get them printed!

If you are anything like me, you could possibly have millions! This memory keeping solution uses pocket pages. You simply slip in your photos and journalling cards and hey presto - you're done! Of course you can embellish with stamps, stickers, cute little accessory kits and personalise it to suit you. But it's simple, easy, fast and the best part - it's great on the hip pocket! 

Stampin' Blendabilities

These new alcohol-based markers come in colour sets of three - light, medium and dark. Perfect for  blending and they give a more saturated, vibrate look.

The pens coordinate beautifully with the Stampin' Up! colour range.

On My Wishlist!
Ok, so you know me - my wishlist is a mile long, but here's just a few favourites for now!

1. Hello Darling - page 124
Wood $46.95 / Clear $32.95

 

2. About the Label - page 129

4. Hello There - Hostess Set

I made some cute little gift boxes using the envelope punch board and the stamp from the Hello There set.
