Banners & Bunting!

Supplies:  Compact Sentiments - Waltzingmouse Stamps, pp - Cosmo Cricket

Hearts on a string - Purple Onion Designs, pearl - 

Papermania, Tuxedo Black ink - Memento, colouring pencils, 

textured cardstock - Papermania, A6 card blank - Anita's and roller adhesive.

I reached for my colouring pencils for this card instead of my copics and I have to admit I really enjoyed using them.  A little bit of shading and hey presto!

The "hearts on a string stamp" I recently purchased from Purple Onion Designs.  This stamp was designed by Stephanie Ackerman.  It is so great for paper piecing, colouring with pencils / copics etc.  So many options.

I am entering this into the Banners & Bunting Challenge over on Catered Crop.  The prize this week is digis from Torico - you know I am a huge fan!!!!

Thanks for peeking.

Mami Doodles - new release/challenge and FIRST EVER blog hop!

Welcome to the FIRST EVER Mami Doodles Blog Hop.   In order to win the digital stamp that I used please make sure you leave a comment to be entered into the draw - (winners will be drawn on Tuesday evening and posted on Wednesday).

Elisa (Mami Doodles) has outdone herself again and created some new wonderful digis released yesterday - check them out here.  As a member of her DT, I got to play with some of them and had lots of fun colouring and creating.  I paired this "bunch" with the Spellbinders blossom die cut and added an wonderfully appropriate SRM Sticker.  I just adore these stickers - be sure to check out the SRM Blog here for wonderful inspiration.

Elisa's challenge on Mami Doodles is "Shaped Cards" - so get your thinking hat on and create a non standard card and post it here with a chance to win some of Mami Doodles wonderful digis. 

The next stop on the hop is Elisa B - just click here and just in case here's the hop order
