Stamping Bella Uptown Girls number 1

I love the uptown girls from Stamping Bella and have several, this was a new one that just had to be inked and coloured straight away. I haven't coloured in a while and I was actually nervous before I started, not sure why as it is only paper lol.

I based the card on this one from July but the image was so large it wouldn't fit on an a2 so I used my tried and tested square 6 x 6. As i have not used any full sheets of card or paper I am entering Di's snippet challenge.

I cant believe that this is week 100, I have been enjoying this challenge since Jules first started it although to be honest my snippet mountain doesn't seem to be getting any smaller. So congrats to Di for being a great playground mistress and keeping us all under control and heres to another 400 weeks at least.

Sweet Peas

Firstly I think I need to apologise about the awful photo quality, it is nearly impossible to get a decent photo at the moment as there is about an hour a day of good light and this card needed to be posted and couldn't wait so there you have it in all its blue toned glory.

I coloured an image for this card whilst in Florida and I know I have seen it since I came home but when I went to make the card it had vanished so I had to start again. I would imagine the law according to sod means as soon as I hit publish on this post or put the card in the postbox it will appear lol,

Crafting for Christmas Number 4

This image reminded me of my uncles farm, even down to the sheep in fact the only thing missing was the original mini in the field. I loved that mini, it was power blue, with string to open the door and sliding windows and a number plate with three numbers and three letters, my that has been a wander down memory lane lol.

Lawn Fawn Haul

A couple of my good crafty friends wondered if I was ordering from lawn fawn as there were a few items they wanted, of course I said I was but I didn't have enough to qualify for free shipping so they added to my order to make that happen lol.

I haven't shown their items as I didn't think it would be fair for them to see them on youtube before they got them in person, however as it has taken so long to upload the videos I needed have worried lol.

Thanks for watching

Papertrey ink haul

Yet another Papertrey ink haul lol! I haven't ordered much this time as I only ordered a few months ago and there wasn't as much that I had to have. I have been using their ink and card though so ordered a few of those.

Space and weight allowance are always a consideration so I don't take all the card home in one trip.

Thanks for watching

Joann's Haul

I ordered a couple of times when Joann had their free shipping offer but decided to combine them into one haul video. I actually ordered the perk me up stamp 4 times before but it was always out of stock, I jumped for joy when the shipping notice showed it was included.

I had never considered ordering from Joann.com before seeing Emchanted Stephs video on youtube, she showed the Stamping Bella Uptown girls so I had to go look. I have since found lots of hard to find stamps on their website so I think for my next trip this will be the first place I order from.

Thanks for watching

MFT Shop Haul

I attended a crafting workshop at MFT and learned how to make a recessed stamped card, so easy and so effective. So of course whilst I was there I had to have a little crafty spend too.

I have already played with the inks and they are amazing, the black sticks to clear stamps and gives such a perfect impression, I think I need all the colours now.
