WOJ Gift Bag

Gasp...............I am back! It feels like ages since my last post, I wish I could say I have been away on holidays having fun but nope that is not the case..............LOL. I reckon the days are just getting shorter and they seem to run away from me!

Anyway I have been playing and have this gift bag I created for WOJ World of Ideas Blog.

Isn't he just the sweetest thing? This image is 'Lazy Summer Days' and is a WOJ digi.

Thanks for stopping by, hope your week ahead will be an awesome one!

WOJ Challenge #158

I am only a week late.....sorry for that but every time I sit down to finish this post, someone or something needs my attention :( You still have a week to enter this fabulous challenge!

So the challenge is 'Christmas in July' and here is my card using 'Christmas Henry Wrapped Up'. This cutie was part of the stamp kits from 2012 but you can still get him as a digi.

I coloured Henry with Copics and adhered him to some white Cardstock. Kept the design pretty simple and added some red washi tape, gold lace I found in my stash and finished it off with a tag and cluster of twine, a flower, leaves and a Christmas charm.

The charm is WOJ and so is the mini tag 'Sweet Tags with Hearts' and sentiment 'Christmas banners'.

Thank you for stopping by and I hope you can join us at WOJ Challenges.

WOJ June Project Theme

The theme this month is a 'stair-step card' and the DT have done outstanding cards, you definitely need to head to Whiff of Joy's World of Ideas blog and have a look!

This is my card, I created a centre stair-stepped card and used a WOJ digi image 'Lazy Afternoon'.

I used some older Kaisercraft paper in my stash and it is perfect for little boys cards! Finished it off with WOJ Sweet Tags with Hearts, WOJ button twine and a Wild Orchid rose.

Thanks for stopping by and for your lovely comments.

Whiff of Joy Pocket Card

I coloured this gorgeous Whiff of Joy image 'Cosy Reading' some time ago and thought it would be perfect for a bookmarker.

So I made a pocket card with a tag, the tag can be used for a bookmarker.

Here is the pocket card completed, you can pop on over to Whiff of Joy's World of Ideas blog to have a look at my tutorial.

The Sketchy Challenges #50

Another lovely sketch went up this weekend at The Sketchy Challenges, have a look here.

Here is my card, I used a Whiff of Joy digi image 'First Date'.

I added layers of patterned paper, a doily and some muslin to my card with some stitching to add some texture and interest. The papers are Cosmo Cricket 'Tea for Two', flowers are Wild Orchid and some bits and pieces from my stash.

I hope you can join us, I would love to see what you create and thanks for stopping by.

Simply Maya and her Ladybug!

I created this shaped easel card last month with Lime Tart's April A La Tarte, its actually my first shaped easel card, had heaps of fun!

The sentiment is from the stamp set in the kit and I clustered some flowers and finished it off with some butterflies and pearls.

I decided to keep with the gorgeous tone of the colours in the patterned paper, so I coloured my image with Copics E40's range, I love the monochromatic finish. This cutie is Whiff of Joy's 'Maya Watching a Lady Bug'.

Thanks for stopping by and for your lovely comments. If you feel like spoiling yourself, head on over to Lime Tart and have a look at the kits that are on special or grab yourself a new one!
