ME & MI MONDAY'S PROJECT 4

Good evening all!!!

I know two posts in one day I can hardly believe it myself!!

Well tonight I bring you this beautiful Mini Pocket book, which I must say took only a hour to make!! It was all the little details that take the time. hehe

If you were looking for a project that uses lots of the new brads from the new mini well look no further.

I have used my two favourite DSP papers "Parisian Breeze Specialty" and "Sweet Slumber Specialty" which coordinate with Chocolate Chip, Riding Hood Red and Baja Breeze.

You could decorate this book as much or as little as you want too.

Well I guess I better go clean up all my stamping mess! Click here to take you to the link to make one yourself!!

Take care and thanks for visiting,

RASPBERRY SUITE COLOR CHALLENGE 14

I absolutely adore Dawn's blog, and participate in her challenges when time permits,which was the case today!!. I really loved working with these colours, especially using Bravo Burgundy, which when I first started buying Stampin Up products it was one of the very first colours that I brought. I haven't used this colour in such a long time!!!

I was able to make two cards which hasn't happened for awhile, My boy's are learning about the Pilgrims who travelled on the ship "Mayflower" and this afternoon they were decorating their Native American paintings while eating their Thanksgiving feast!! If you see any glitter or food on the cards you will know why!! hehe

Well I best get back to cleaning up and finishing the little bits on my project to show you tonight!!

Thanks for looking,

Amy

INKSPIRATIONS COLOUR CHALLENGE #11

Hello sorry about the delay click on Keesha's blog here to read why!

Ok I know that these colours are what you would often use for a boy's card and yes I badly wanted to make a boy's card with buttons and coordinating ribbon etc, but as soon as I grabbed the stamps I thought well that would be a typical Amy card and so I challenged myself to a.....No boy's card with No buttons and well I just couldn't keep to the No ribbon part.

I have been dying to ink up my new stamp set "Petal Pizzazz" and what a treat she is.

In the centre of the middle flower I have used a filigree brad adhered with a Pumpkin Rhinestone Brad just to pizzazz it up some more.

I actually used two different DSP papers for the background, two that I normally wouldn't put together, but it kind of worked, both are from the 'Washington Apple' series.

ME & MI MONDAY'S PROJECT 3

Hi again, 

Well tonight I bring you this cute little crisscross box! When I saw this project I thought what a great gift idea, especially for those who love nuts! hehehe 

Ok I know that I have been making lots of projects using Chocolate Chip and Baja Breeze, but you gotta love these colours together!

The crisscross box was made out of a piece of 'Sweet Slumber Specialty' Dsp paper, using a piece of Chocolate Chip cardstock I punched both ends with the scallop edge to make my band with coordinating Baja Breeze ribbon.

I love this little Squirrel from the SU Stamp Set 'Animal Crackers' The wee sentiment fits perfect with this gift "I'm nuts about you".

Well if you click here it will take you to the wonderful tutorial on how to make your own!

I hope you are enjoying these Me & Mi projects because I surely am.

Have a great night, 

Take care,

Amy

TAKE TWO !!

Well I am back, and to my amazement I had some free time tonight in between cleaning my toilet bowl and laundry!! 

Lachlan and Noah are feeling a whole lot better, I had kinda forgotten what it was like seeing them eat, and yes they have kept all three meals down today which is a massive achievement. If you had been with us at the start of the week you would be pretty chaffed with yourself too, And for me and mi self I am obviously  perky enough to send this post. hehe

I had actually made this box at the start of the week, I just hadn't finished off the little cards to go inside. I thought you might like to see a different version of the box from last Monday that I had made.

I am totally in love with this new DSP paper and I just can't play with it enough :) I have taken a few photos tonight just so that you get an idea without me boring you with all the details !!

Just one more thing to add, did you notice that I made my own brad with the coordinating DSP even Sean was impressed with my skills ( so so very easy)

Anyway I better go tidy up and I will see you tomorrow night for project No#3 

Until then....

INKSPIRATIONS SKETCH CHALLENGE #11

Well what a week I have had!!! My middle son has been a very sick boy with severe vomiting, and got very dehydrated, so much so that if we didn't get fluids into him by a certain time he had a admission from the doctor to take him to the hospital!! Thank goodness we finally got it under control.

Let me tell you I am sooooo over cleaning up vomit, and to top it off I feel like I am coming down with it too :(

I had left doing this card till the very last moment and I must admit it has taken me a long time to make it, and am still not sure whether I like it or not!!

Anyhow I am now in love with this gorgeous DSP paper" Raspberry Tart" it coordinates beautifully with Kiwi Kiss, Cameo Coral, and Rose Red!

Stamp set used "Live Like You Mean It" ( hostess level 1) and "Best Yet".

I really Love these new corduroy buttons it just finishes one's work off beautifully.

I am really looking forward to seeing what the other girls have come up with, click below to check out the action!

ME & MI MONDAY'S PROJECT 2

Good evening!

This gorgeous box has been saved in my favourites file for such a long time and it has been a real pleasure to actually start making these projects.

I really hate casing cards/projects so I have used this template as my base and then decorated and changed a few aspects of the original just to make it my own. :)

I have used Sweet Slumber Specialty DSP for the box and cards, the box fits up to six 3 by 3 cards inside, envelopes included.

I love these new Filigree Designer Brads, I used these to fasten the box as shown in the picture.

For the sides I used my 1-1/4 punch ( Riding Hood Red) folded in half and fastened with some brads from the Styled Silver Hodge Podge Hardware.

Stamp set used Circle Circus punched out with the scallop punch.

I have taken lots of photos so that you get the idea but its such a versatile box that you can decorate it anyway you want, to make it your own.

So click here for the template and I would love to hear from you if you like this project and would like to see more.

Have a great night

Amy
