FRIENDS TAG

Well - I seem to be in Tag mode today, so here is a pretty pretty one for you to get you over the shock of the previous one LoL

My image is from DESIGNED2DELIGHT (are they called From The Heart Stamps now ???) and is called 'Lucky Bird' and the stamped sentiment is using a rubber stamp from my 'Language of Friendship' Set by STAMPIN' UP.
The other papers and bits are using up scraps from my bits box :-D 
I 'paper pieced' the birdie using scraps that sort of matched. They don't show up very well on here. I coloured his booties with Copics.

That's me done for now... I may be back later :-D

INKY FROGGIES

Hello again today,
Well I have been getting my fingers inky (if not my froggies LoL) making a little something for the March Challenge over at INKY FROGGIES FaceBook Group.
The theme is 'Recycle Something' and I just love changing things and making something cool out of stuff people would throw away.
My friend smokes this particular brand of cigarettes which come in really cool little boxes about 3" square and she saves them for me. I have made loads of little gift boxes with them in the past, and this is what I've done this time. I spray them with scent so that they don't smell of tobacco and then paint and cover them with pretty papers.
Here's my one for today....

Here's the box...

After transformation.....

and the inside...

I've made and sold lots of these here in Greece as the locals always like their presents gift wrapped and these are great for all sorts of little gifties :-D

I have used my 'Language of Friendship' rubber stamp set from STAMPIN' UP and printed the pieces out using blue/green Whispers ink. I then used Marvy Brush Markers and a water pen to colour the bird.

I am sending this to a new Blogger friend as a surprise :-D

Thanks for stopping by... see you later xxxxxx

A FLOCK FOR A FRIEND

Hello Peeps,
Here is a little card I made to go with a present for a cyber friend of mine - Sandra of  STAMPING FOR PLEASURE  :-)
Now this lady used to have a couple of chickens that were regular posts on her Blog - getting up to their antics in her garden. :-)  She doesn't do that Blog any more but I thought she might like a little flock for indoors :-D  Would you believe it though .... I forgot to photograph the 'Girls' before I posted them, so here's hoping Sarn can take a pikky of them so I can put it on here.
*** Well - Sarn took me a pikkie of the Chooks at their new home... so here they are ......

Anyhoo, I made this little card to go with them using STAMPIN' UP products. I have had this little set for a while now but couldn't decide what on earth to make with them. This is what I came up with - I followed a design I had seen elsewhere, but used different colours and papers, and somehow it doesn't seem as good as the one I followed !!! How does that figure ?????  Maybe I should just stick to the Dark stuff :-D LoL
Sarn is a SU demonstrator, so I am sure she will be able to point out what I haven't quite got right with this one :-)
