The DP's are some old Papermania ones I found on a shelf.
The image is by the Greeting Farm and is from the set "Happy Day". She has been coloured with ProMarkers. Simon Says Stamp sells hundreds of Greeting Farm stamps - go check them out !
The tulle, button and bling are all from my stash.
I hope that you can join in with us this week. The DT's cards and creations are all amazing. Please hop over and have a look. We are featuring The Greeting Farm stamps for you this week.
Thank you for your visit and for any comments you may leave.
Don't forget my blog candy although as I am off for the weekend, I shall be drawing this on Tuesday now so you will have more time to take part.
Have a great day !
The DP's are October Afternoon "Thrift Shop" and I've attached these by sewing them with my sewing machine.
The flourish is a Bazzill chippie which I have covered in crackle paint and inked with vintage photo distress ink.
The flowers and doily are all from my stash and I have sprayed these with pearl glimmer mist.
The sentiment is a Cats Life Press stamp.
I took this photo of the girls only a couple of days ago.
Right, must dash - lots to do !
Thank you for your visit and for any comments you may leave.
Have a great Sunday !
The DP's are My Mind's Eye "Quite Contrary" yet again. I ought to hide them so they aren't the first thing I keep picking up !!
The image is "Rosalie with Roses" by CC Designs and she has been coloured with ProMarkers. The background has been created with a Hero Arts cloud stamp and a Martha Stewart grass punch. The butterflies are also a Martha Stewart punch.
The flowers are from my stash as are the pearls and string.
We look forward to you playing along with us !
Don't forget my blog candy .......
I'll be back tomorrow with another page for my mini album ! I'm just loving doing these and can't wait to start on the next page !
Have a fantastic day ! I have a lovely quiet morning with the girls both being at school, just waiting in for a new sofa which I might get the chance to try out later !
Thank you for your visit and for any comments you may leave.
Hugs to all,
Actually, now the photo is on my blog, it doesn't look too bad I don't think.
Again, I painted round the edges of my card with picket fence distress ink and inked the edges with vintage photo distress ink.
The DP's are Melissa Frances "Rhonda" Scrapbooking Collection. I have distressed the edges with my T!m tool ! and run around the edges with a gold leaf pen. I've also added a flourish to the corners.
The photographs are of Mollie and Izzy when they were only a couple of months old. The top photograph is Mollie. Again I distressed the edges of the card and ran around the edge with a gold leaf pen and also added some gold stickles.
The "Treasure" stamp is from the scrapbooking ones I bought and unfortunately I have no idea who makes them.
I made the tag and stamps the definition on it. This stamp was also in the scrapbooking stamps I bought. The ribbon was in the Melissa Frances scrapbooking collection.
The pearls are from my stash and I made the swirls with the aid of a Bazzill template I bought from Quixotic Paperie.
I only wish you could see it in real life as these papers are so soft and pretty and that gold just lifts it a little and gives it a subtle sparkle. I do hope you like it !
I shall be back tomorrow with my card for Simon Says Challenge and then hope to show you page 4 on Thursday - its yet to be made !
Thank you so much for your visit and for your lovely, kind comments.
Don't forget my blog candy !
Take care and enjoy the sunshine my lovely blogging buddies !
Again, I painted around the edges of my card with picket fence crackle paint and inked it with vintage photo distress ink.
The papers are Cosmo Cricket "Happily Ever After" and they are double sides so I was able to have some of the deep orange showing through with distressing.
The heart is a Bazzill chippie which I covered in white card, stamped with a flourish and then covered in crackle glaze.
The little tag on the photo is a snap clip by Melissa Frances that I have had in my stash box forever and never had the heart to use until now !
The butterfly was punched with a MS punch from the orange DP and some vellum and I added some pearls and stickles.
The flowers are a mixture from my stash with an old button and piece of raffia and tulle added.
This photograph was taken this time last year of the girls. I am changing all the photos to black and white for this project as I somehow think they look better.
I was lucky enough to be able to finish page 3 last night so I should be back tomorrow to show you that one ! To see page 1, please see the post below this one.
Thank you for your visit and for any comments you may leave, they always mean so much.

Have a fantastic Monday whatever you are up to. I am enjoying the peace and quiet now that school has started again. I wasn't keen on the rushing around this morning but its nice to be at home with Izzy and get back into our usual routine.
Take care,
I absolutely love the vintage look and as I have two beautiful girls, I thought I would go for a beautiful style but I'm finding it challenging ! I'm also using papers I found in my paper mountain and not buying any new ones for this project so that's also a challenge trying to find the right ones !!
All the pages I am making from the backs of telephone notebooks which a friend gives to me at the place where I used to go to work - recycling !
I have painted the edges with milled lavender crackle paint and slightly inked them with vintage photo distress ink.
The DP's are by Magnolia which I picked up at the NEC last year. I think its actually Christmas paper !
I have added a flourish to the corners with vintage photo distress ink.
The raffia ribbon and lace are from my stash.
The sentiment I cut with my nesties, inked with antique linen distress ink and then stamped a Hero Arts old text stamp over the top. I am unsure who makes the "Natural Beauty" stamp as I bought a load of scrapbooking text stamps from someone for "just in case" and there is no label or packaging !!
The flowers are all from my stash and the centres are from The Hobby House. I picked these up at the NEC.
This photo was taken when Izzy was just 3 months old and I just adore it !
I have another page ready which I hope to show you tomorrow. I am two days behind as the challenge is on day 4 but I hope that I can catch up by 15th May. I would be fantastic to be able to complete it.
Thank you for your visit and for any comments you may leave, I really do appreciate them.

The postcard is from the lovely Tammy's blog.
The image is Pure Innocence "Happy Mail" and you can buy it here at Simon Says Stamp. She has been coloured with ProMarkers.

Take care and see you soon.
I have been wanting to make a shaped card for a long time and finally bit the bullet especially when I had these new Magnolia stamps to play with from the NEC !
This card is also very spooky ! Spooky because I made it and then went on a bit of a blog hop and what did I see ? Nearly the same card looking back at me ! Jodie of Oz had made one very similar a few days before and I honestly hadn't seen it before I made mine !
I had to blow the dust off my Cricut to make this shape as the blossom nesties aren't large enough.
The DP's are DCWV "Nana's Nursery".
The heart doily I bought from the NEC.
Tilda is coloured with ProMarkers and I have added some Stickles to her wings. Simon Says Stamp has the new range of Magnolia stamps in store for you to buy along with 1,000's of others too !
The flowers are from my stash and the jewels are by Magnolia which I bought at the NEC. You can also buy these from the Simon Says Stamp Store.
I added some liquid pearls around the outside of the card.
We hope you can join us for this fantastic challenge this week too. There is a $25 spending spree in the Simon Says Stamp store prize on offer too !
Don't forget my blog candy which will finish on Saturday. If you click on the picture in my sidebar, it will take you directly to the post.

Hopefully I will get back to crafting soon ! School starts back on Monday and all the usual activities and so we will gradually get back into a routine. Enjoy the rest of the holidays if you are still at home too !
"The Design team have all used stamps by Boefjes on their creations. You don't have to but we would like to see you use them if you have them :-)
The Design Team are also sending their cards to a child through Post Pals or Make a Child Smile. All the children on these sites have life threatening illnesses and are so courageous. All they ask is that you send a child a card to bring some joy into their lives and smiles on their faces. If you have a similar charity in your own Country then please send your card to them. I know they will appreciate it.
Heidi will be giving away a $25 shopping spree to the Simon Says Stamp Store and she will pay for the shipping too :-) There are lots of new products in store too, so many in fact it is difficult to keep up with them ! Every day gorgeous new stuff is arriving :-)"
The DP's are BasicGrey "Granola"
The map stamp was a bargain I picked up from e-bay - a whole 99p !!! I stamped the image onto card, tore around the edges and then distressed it with lots of brown and black distress ink.
The gorgeous little Pirate is Luuk from Stamps by Boefjes and he has been coloured with ProMarkers. You can buy a gorgeous range of these stamps at Simon Says Stamp. Just follow the link I have given.
The sentiment is from a set by Woodware and I have used Spellbinders Shapeabilities "Fancy Tags" and added some distress ink to it and a gold marker pen around the outside edge.
Thank you for your visit and for any comments you may leave. I am so grateful to you.

The DP's are a gorgeous silvery, grey colour and are glittered. They are Best Creation Inc "Mr & Mrs" and I bought them from The Hobby House stand at the NEC. I think I might buy some more of these to keep in my stash "just in case" !
The image is Tilda and Edwin by Magnolia. These two stamps are sold separately although they do have a Tilda and Edwin bride and groom stamp (if you know what I mean !!). I just loved Tilda's bouquet on this stamp.
I decided to try my hand at distress ink painting for this card and don't think I did a bad job although the skin needs more practice !
I inked the edges of the image with antique linen distress ink and then stamped a flourish stamp around the edge and then added some gold stickles. I also added stickles to Tilda's crown and flowers.
The "Day to Remember" stamp is by Cats Life Press and this has been stamped in walnut stain distress ink.
The flowers are all from my stash.
I made the scrolls of paper and tied them with some raffia.
I loved making this card. Just a shame I don't get to make them very often !
I'm now off to watch a DVD with the others and tuck into some popcorn !
Thank you for your visit and for any comments you may leave. I am so grateful to you.
