Poppy's here to brighten your day...

Today i have Poppy to share with you. I have to be honest and say i coloured in this image 3 times before I was happy with the actual red's I used to colour in the poppy...lol.
And guess what?? I never wrote them down. OMG smacks myself in the head...lol
I couldnt believe that I did that. But o well I hope you like my version of Poppy.

Dont forget these gorgeous images are all exclusive and available at Bizzy Bec's Cardmaking one stop shop!!

Flower power, everywhere...

Well its time for another Tickled Pink Challenge and the theme this week is so close to my heart....FLOWERS!!!  How yummy!!!
Unfortunately I have had a terrible week at work, life, you name it and its all gone pear shaped this week...sigh...so i run out of time.
I had such great glorious plans and then in the end I rushed my card and well...quite frankly...I'm not fond of it...not fond at all...but well I guess you cant LOVE everything you do all the time.
I think one of my main issues is that the colours are off in the photo.  the flowers and the pink strip are almost the same colour irl but here they look completely different and ghastly...and dont blend at all.
I will endeavour to take a new photo in the daylight to see if that helps.
Anyways here is my creation.

Anywho..i just know that your creations are gooing to run circles around mine and I cant wait to see them!

Seeing Stars and stripes....

OMG I'm sorry I forgot to put up my post for this weeks Stamptacular Sunday Challenge.
It was my middle boys 4th birthday on Sunday and it was one chaotic day! OMG!!! I just totally forgot about everything else and only just realised that I hadnt posted it...whoopsie.

Anyways this week challenge is for stars and stripes. So as long as you are using something that incorporates stars and stripes you are away!! LOL
My creation doesnt have much in the way of stripes..just a little on the bunting, but thats ok its still there!

Getting a head start on the christmas cards this year...lol

With a splash of ribbon and lace please..

How do you take your tea???   Well it seems Mad Hatter Damon takes his with a dash of ribbon and lace and thats a good thing as its the theme for this weeks challenge at Tickled Pink Stamps Challenge...lol

Yes we want to see ribbon and lace on your creation if you hadnt guessed.  i have used some gorgeous silk binding as my ribbon and some lovely lace from Prima that I have had hidden in the drawer for quite some time and quite frankly..lol...had forgotten about!

So here is Damon in all his handsome glory....

Now its your turn...cant wait to see what you come up with.

And dont forget Tickled Pink images only please!!!!

As because its pseudo sunday (lol)  Its time for another Stamptacular Sunday Challenge and this week its a challenge to make something for either a Dad or a Grad in your life.
Well seeing as Graduations are not so big around here...dont really know anybody even close to graduating anything..I made a card for my Dad.
Now my Dad has been now to have a sherbert or 3...lol  So I thought this image from Blue Butterfly Stamps is just perfect!

Ok now its your turn to go forth and create!!!

Let me feel your texture......

Ok so that might sound a little..umm kinky perhaps...lol but seriously its all about Tickled Pink Stamps new challenge...I swear!!!
see this weeks challenge.... is 'TEXTURE'...Some of you might be new to texture or some may think it only means embossed paper etc. But after a little chat with the Pink Challenge Ladies we discovered that there is so much more and they have shown SOOOOO many ways... Basically the way to describe it...... when you run your fingers over it, it feels like "texture"....

And a fabbo prize this week as always..your choice of one rubber or two digi's...wowsers!!!!

Now here is my creation using LOTS of texture!!  i have used corrugated card, embossed paper, silk flowers, a feather, some jute ribbon and some ruffled ribbon...phew!!!!
And the gorgeous new image Lil Match Christina!!!  Man i love this new image!!  gonna be a fav i can see already!

Anything Goes!!!

Dont you just love it when there are no restrictions, no real rules (well except maybe one..lol), and you can just do as you please...well thats good because the theme this week at Tickled Pink Stamp Challenge is ANYTHING GOES!!!   Yay!!!

This week i have made a tag with one of my fav images from the TP range.

Now its your turn!  Cant wait to see what you create!

Can you say three???

Well not so much saying three as being able to count to three...can you??  Well thats good because you will need to count out 3 pieces of designer paper for our challenge this week at Tickled Pink Stamps Challenge.
You see for this weeks challenge we are asking you to...USE 3 PATTERN PAPERS... They can be matching or not, they can be hand stamped pattern papers, you can have more than 3 as long as you have 3 then your IN....
