12 Days of Creepmas - Day 11

Trying to catch up as I fell behind what will all the Christmas prep and a fun visit to my Sister's!

Another Tag with my fave Spellbinders, the Heirloom 2011 Ornament Die and the Bombshell Pin-Stripes Stamps

I used the lovely October Afternoon papers, Spellbinders Heirloom Ornament 2011 Die, Red embossing powder to stamp the pin-stripes and some shiny embellishments!

Happy Christmas Eve everyone!

Bombshell DT Girls FIGHTING.......

....for your vote!!!
The Bombshell DT girls were challenged to design a project using the very first set of Bombshell Stamps they ever owned and it's up to YOU to vote for your favourite HERE!!!

I have a fab lady here in England, 3dJean who is dead arty and luckily runs her own lil online shop.
One day she advertised that she had some new stamps in stock 'Bombshells'.
Well I've never been a cutesy stamps girl- no bunnies in bonnets for me, so when I saw the Bombshells i was in LOVE!!!
This was December 2008 and I asked my lovely 'DH' if he could possible get me a set for Chrissy that year.
That was how I came to own Retro Cowgirls  

I love my Bombshell Stamps and was so excited to be chosen as a Guest DT member in 2009 and then a full time member later that year!

I work for a gorgeous boss who loves tattoo art and caters to those of us who want something MORE than cute for our cards and crafts!
I am part of a team with the most talented bunch of wenches in the crafting hemisphere- I tell you they scare me into trying harder and harder!!!  

My card is a little kitsch, she's an old fashioned cowgirl working down on the farm in her plaid yet still looking drop-dead gorgeous and ready to kick a lil butt with those sexy boots!!!

So show your love for the Bombshells and vote for the one that tickles your fancy most!!

Bombshell Hump Day BLOG HOP!!!!!

It's BLOG HOP TIME AGAIN!!!!!!!

Inky's Challenge this time is: Mama Said Knock You Out!

No physical violence here, just time to dust off your PUNCHES and use your NESTIES (QuicKutz, Sizzix, Big Shot etc.) to create your next Bombshell Masterpiece! We all have some fun punches and cutting shapes lying around, so why not use these valuable items and get our money's worth? All you have to do, is make sure something on your card has been punched or die cut....extra credit if there's a hole in your card. *giggle Don't make Mama mad....just start knockin' things out. *wink*

Here is my version:

I used my Bombshell Angel- I stamped her cozzie on red gingham paper.
I used October Afternoon papers and ledger paper by Making Memories.
I Dymo'd the sentiment on plain paper then rubbed ink over the top.
I used Quickutz Label die and Quickutz Heart dies for the embellies.

Kathi came up with an awesome Sketch for February which I used for my card



Here's my Bombshell card for February's Wet & Wild contest (see detail of competition and what you can win HERE!!!)

I used the Mermaid Anchor Bombshell stamps.
She was coloured with copics and glittered.
I found a clip art Scallop shell online and painted it with pearly paint and added a bit of glitter....OK I used a TONNE of glitter *grins*
The patterned paper is Fancy Pants (I think!)

Here is the Mermaid used in a different way- I stamped her onto cotton and coloured her with Copics.
As you can see I'm madly into quilting and used fabric from the awesome Tula Pink- LURVE her designs!

Here's a tutorial for the quilted mermaid if you want the deets!

NOW it's time to BLOG HOP!!

Feel the Lurve

Had a lovely Valentine's Day, yesterday with my 'Dh'- we've been together nearly 20 years, that's half our lives!!
We had a grown-ups day sans children on Friday with a trip to the Ashmolean in Oxford-we were full up with culture!
So after a coffee and cakey we went to see the dinosaurs at the Natural History museum and look at the shrunken heads at the Pitt Rivers Museum!
While looking at the dinosaur we discovered that our FAVE dinosaur at infant school for BOTH of us was the Triceratops-see 'twas destiny and dinosaurs brought us together!
Anyway here's a lil' card I made for my baby using lovely October Afternoon papers and Grungeboard shapes and lots of inky, ink!

 

Introducing Miss December!!!

It's DECEMBER and we have a new Bombshell Hottie taking over this month!!
Drum Roll please for Erika Taylor!!!! she has already started rocking out December with some fabulous Christmas trees!

This week's challenge is....

Naughty or Nice Challenge

"Santa baby, just slip a sable under the tree, for me
Been an awful good girl
Santa baby, so hurry down the chimney tonight"

Ready to be "Awfully Good"? Santa is looking over his list to see who is naughty and who is nice. So lets send him our best project expressing which list we should be on.

The Challenge is to create a project showing which side of the list you belong on. The Naughty List or the Nice. Make those bombshell stamps shine and give Ole St Nick a reason to smile

I think she's definitely on the NORTY list!!!

So hop on off to the other Designers blogs for a look around and start getting FESTIVE!!!!
