Just Add Ink #394...Romance!

Yay for Friday! That means its Just Add Ink challenge time and this week l thought it would be fun to add some "Romance" to our projects.
With Valentines day on the horizon (not that I'm big on that) l thought a fun card for the man would be in order. Mind you, if you want to play along, you can create any form of romantic project...Pretty much as long as you add some feels, you will nail it!

I've used the very cute and fun "Magical Day" stamp set that we received at "Onstage" back in November and decided it was time to show it some love. The greeting is from the retired "Everyday Hero" set.

I was recently gifted some watercolour paints and decided to try those on watercolour paper for the images....Lots of Wink of Stella on the Dragon and a hint of glimmer as well.

Heaps of lovey stuff happening on the blog, so pop on over and check out the rest of the design teams projects!

Stamp Review Crew...Bonus Blog Hop-SAB 2018

It's Stamp Review Crew time again and for this hop we are showcasing lots of the fabulous "Sale a Bration" sets on offer.

When l attended "Onstage" in Melbourne last November we got to see these products and the one set that really had me doing a happy dance was the super cute "Party Pandas" set...So that was my choice for this SAB hop.

So many ideas and fun ways to use this set, it actually took me awhile to come up with something different from what is already floating around online.

Having lots of little people with birthdays coming up, that was my theme and will hopefully get me a little ahead this year!
The colours l have used are Bermuda Bay-Lemon Lime Twist-Peekaboo Peach-Berry Burst & Pool Party. These were dictated by the colours in the gorgeous "Picture Perfect Party" DSP, this 6" x 6" stack is loaded with heaps of fun party images.

Just Add Ink #393....Colour!

Happy Australia day Aussie friends! What's everyone up to today to celebrate our nations special day?

We will be celebrating my sons birthday. Being an Australia day baby means he always gets a day off and its just a tad more festive than a normal day.

On to this weeks Just add Ink challenge! Well aren't these colours a bit appropriate for today....not exactly "Green & Gold" but if you squint, l think they pass as another "Australia Day" tribute!

Rochelle has chosen the colours for this week and they work perfectly for a masculine birthday card!

I have combined a couple of dsp packs, Delightful Daisy & Eastern Palace and used the fun new punch from the Truly Tailored Bundle and the aptly named Celebrate You "Sale a bration" thinlits. I've also added a couple of the cute Tutti Frutti adhesive sequins (well the two lemon lime twist ones).

Don't forget to pop over to the challenge blog and check out the rest of the teams creations!

Just Add Ink #392....BLOG HOP!

Welcome back to the first Just Add Ink challenge for 2018!

For this weeks challenge the team would like you to add "Something New" This can be something you've just acquired or something you've had for awhile but have yet to use or even a "New" technique.

For my project, I've cracked open the gorgeous new "Petal Palette bundle" and combined it with the super cute "Mini Gable" boxes, some new ribbon and twine and the gorgeous new "Petal Passion" DSP.
The ribbon has dictated my flower colour "Berry Burst" and l used my markers and blender pen to colour them after stamping in Basic Grey!

Next on the hop is the fabulously talented Lou Kitzelman, l'm sure she will "wow" you with her project!

Welcome to the first Stamp Review crew hop for 2018! Happy new Year all, l hope its is a year of good health, laughter and many new memories to be made!

For this hop we are showcasing the super cute "Bella And Friends" stamp set. I'm a tad partial to a cute colouring set and the images are a really good size for colouring with the new Stampin Up! blends.

I have finally had a decent play with the Embossing paste...FUN! and added some Dazzling Diamonds glitter to it for some cute sparkly clouds.

That yummy striped border is from a new DSP pack called Petal Passion and is available on Wednesday in the brand new Occasions booklet....Love that it is a full pack of Black & White patterns.
