Just Add Ink - You Rock

Just Add Ink 276

The challenge over at Just Add Ink this week is Just Add Males. Ugh, masculine cards often have me in a tizz. They're generally not to be pretty and pink, with lace and ribbon! However, I knew exactly what I wanted to create this week and I'm quite happy with my masculine creation. 

With Father's Day just around the corner, I wanted to acknowledge my amazing, fabulous husband....who seriously does ROCK! He is also pretty 'sharp' on the guitar too....pardon the pun!

I used the guitar and sentiment from the 'Skating By' stamp set.

I'm not sure if you can tell from the above photo, but the timber frame has been made with a square cut out and the layer inset into it....I hope I'm making sense!?

Want some more masculine inspiration? Oh that sounds really bad doesn't it?!! Sorry, I'm not sending you off to a site filled with Brad Pitt, George Clooney or Channing Tatum! Even better....masculine cards created by the amazingly talented Design Team over at Just Add Ink.

INKspired Blog Hop - Sprinkles on Top

INKspired Blog Hop & Sentimental Sunday

Welcome to yet another INKspired Blog Hop. You may have just hopped here from my dear friend Lisa. If you have just arrived here, be sure to hop all the way around to see all our amazing creations this week.

The sketch challenge, created by Teneale, was a challenge for me this week....I had to tilt the cardstock on its side and I was not coping! LOL

I got through it and used the new Sprinkles on Top stamp set, which coordinates perfectly with Cherry on Top Designer Series Paper.

Notice my faux-shadowing?! I used the Sahara Sand Stampin' Write Marker with a Blender Pen and carefully added a shadow around each delicious donut. 

On to my Sentimental Sunday. The day of the week I recognise someone special in my life.
Next week is my super adorable and cheeky God-daughters birthday. I simply love this kid and she always gives the biggest cuddles...which I have of course taught her, because I have taught her every good thing she knows!  #wink ;) 

Next on the hop is my fabulous and talented friend Marlene.

Just Add Ink - Photo Inspiration

Over at Just Add Ink this week the challenge is to use the photos as our inspiration. Well....a challenge it was! I struggled....yep....no pink! Also very modern and stripes. Hmmmm...thinking cap on. Now that I'm done I am actually quite happy with myself! 

As soon as I saw this challenge I immediately thought of my close friend Kylie Bertucci....she loves contemporary, modern, clean and fresh. So I decided to make this card for her to thank her for helping me with an (exciting) upcoming Stampin' adventure....stay tuned! ;)

The Design Team are on fire this week with their creations. Be sure to pop over and see them!

INKspired Blog Hop - You're Sublime

INKspired Blog Hop & Sentimental Sunday

Hello! Welcome to another INKspired blog hop where every second Sunday we dazzle you with creations from our team. You may have just hopped here from my amazing bestfriend, Kabrina.

Each challenge is a sketch designed by Teneale and I love this one!

How can you seriously not adore this stamp set, You're Sublime?! I stamped it on Watercolor Paper using Black Stazon and colored with Stampin' Write Markers and a Blender Pen.

If you are new to my blog 'Sentimental Sunday' is something I created for my blog and it's the day of the week I like to recognise someone special in my life. My card is actually for our upline Teneale, who puts in so much effort organising the blog hops every fortnight. All the sketches are designed and digitally created by Teneale and I am sure I speak for all of us when I say we are so grateful for her hardwork and inspiration. Thanks so much for all you do Teneale.

Next on the hop is my gorgeous, talented friend Marlene who is also celebrating her 100th post...make sure you congratulate her!

Thanks for hopping by,

Just Add Butterlies

Just Add Ink 272

This week the challenge over at Just Add Ink is 'Butterflies' and I am in awe of the  the Design Team this week and their absolute fabulousness!

I really wanted to use my new Fluttering Embossing Folder as I just adore it!

I know I say the word 'love' a.lot.....what can I say, I'm a 'love' hussy! Hahaha. Don't judge me!!! In all seriousness...there are some things I really do 'love' and when I am talking about things from the Stampin' Up! Catalogue ....there is always so many things I 'love'!

In my 'love' collection there's a stamp set called Remembering Your Birthday and if you follow by blog you know I have used the 'Happy Birthday' from this set quite a few times! Another 'love' on this card is the new English Garden Designer Series Paper....swoon.

You may need to just get over my 'love' addiction because I have no doubt I will be using it again when the next Stampin' Up! Holiday Catalogue Launches next month....so excited. Stay tuned, that's all I'm sayin'....I'm sure you will drop a 'love' or two for a few things also!

Tons of 'love'

wink!
