WOJ Monthly Project Theme

Hello everyone, we are still sweltering in this awful heat, I am hoping cooler weather will be coming our way real soon or at least some rain! But I have something new to share with you today, Whiff of Joy World of Ideas blog has started a new category on their blog - 'Monthly Project Theme'. Every month the DT will work on the same theme and this month is Bookmarks.

I have created a bookmark for one of my boys and used 'Astronaut Henry'.

It is a magnetic bookmark and I will be showing you how to create one on Whiff of Joys World of Ideas Blog next week, so don't forget to pop back and have a look!

It is great to see the DT's different styles and the awesome bookmarks they have all created, you can see them here at Whiff of Joys World of Ideas Blog.

The Sketchy Challenges #39

Wow...this month is just flying, it still feels like we celebrated christmas just the other day! So, I am already back with a new sketch at The Sketchy Challenges.

The awesome sketch is by the lovely Karen and I created a boys card with not one flower ;) This cutie is from this month's new release from Whiff of Joy 'I Love My Vespa'.

The papers are Authentique 'Bundle' and half way through this card I was starting to think it was too yellow. Even though I love yellow I decided to tone it down a bit by matting the pattern papers on dark brown cardstock, inked the edges with Distress Ink 'Vintage Photo', added a strip of gorgeous spotty grey washi and finished it off with a button and some WOJ button twine.

Did you notice the two new dies I used?

I just received them this week and I think they are awesome. First up is WOJ 'Arrows' and the die includes a variety of 7 arrows.

And the WOJ 'Banner' border die, adds just the perfect touch, especially to a boys card!

Whiff of Joy Challenge

Its time again for the latest challenge and its another stunner!

Challenge #146 is 'Favourite Colours and use Lace'. I always love my shades of brown with some pink, cream or blue so I used this cutie 'Baby Henry' and made a card with pink and brown. I know it says Baby Henry but I made it a girl baby by colouring in some pink to celebrate a birth of a baby girl! So this stamp is not only adorable adorable but very versatile to :)

Some of my favourite lace at the moment and finished off with WOJ button twine, a button, Whimsy sentiment, Tim Holtz memo pin and Wild Orchid rose from my stash.

First Post of 2013!

Hello everyone and a Happy New Year, I hope 2013 will be a fantastic year for you!

So my first post for 2013 is Whiff of Joy's latest challenge #145 - Celebrate, a great theme to kick start 2013, don't you think?

What a better way than to celebrate with a bit of yummy wine, this is 'Winegrower Henry'. He was part of one of the 2012 Secret Stamp kits but is available as a digi if you missed this kit.

I have used some Webster's papers that I have had in my stash for a while, the sentiment is also WOJ but I only used part of it, flowers are Kaisercraft and Wild Orchid, Flourish with a Bling pearls and the muslin, doily and tag are from my stash to.

I generally don't use purples or lilacs but I thought it was a great touch to the wine and grapes.

I hope you will join us for the first challenge of 2013 and thank you for stopping by and for your lovely comments.
