Faith, Trust and Pixie Dust.

Hello, it's Carol here today and I thought I would share something very exciting that is coming to Sarah's Website very very soon!! I will probably get put on the naughty step again for this, but some things are worth the risk ;-)

Sarah has a great range of Special Edition stamps, and I have used a brand new set from the fab Clare Brown to make this card. It is from a set called "Woodland Fairy", and there is also a toadstool in it*squeee*.

I printed up some of Sarah's "Be Mine" digi kit, onto glossy photo paper and it looks amazing, it is so hard to capture it in a picture. Once I had printed that, I chose the colour of the fairy's dress to co-ordinate with it. I added some Stardust Stickles using a nylon paintbrush, so much easier to get that wee bit of sparkle exactly where you want it, in this case on her belt, wings and shoes. I finished off the card by popping some tiny punched flowers in the 4 colours of the card and added some flatback pearls. I layered it up using pearlised silver paper.

Time to try digital scrapbooking.

Hello, it's Carol here and it's my turn to share a creation with you. Today I will be sharing a digital scrapbooking layout page using Sarah's Be Mine Digital Kit. I decided to use a picture of our cat Aggie, her Sunday name is Agatha, and our surname is Christie so the typewriter in this kit is just perfect for  what I had in mind.

I used Digital Designer, but you can use Serif or any other software you are comfortable using. I chose to make the Lay Out 8x8 and used the Bubbles paper as my base, the colours in the kit all match perfectly and can be mixed and matched and that is really what I wanted to show with this page.

The kit has loads of awesome journalling cards that can be used for lots of different things from Project Life to notecards. I layered up a couple of those then popped Aggie's picture onto them, I added some teal striped washi tape to make it look like the piccie was stuck down. I thought the typewriter was perfect considering Aggie's name, and added a wee story onto the paper coming out of it.

I popped a cloud embellishment on, and some of the cute paper planes to add some extra prettiness to the page. And I love the heart border and couldn't resist it, I think it finishes the page of perfectly.

Made using Be Mine Digital Kit 

I hope you like this page, I had great fun making it and loved trying something different.

Remember there is still time to enter our Speech Bubble Challenge.

A Little Bird Told Me...

...there is a new challenge in progress for March. The theme is 'Speech Bubbles' and I thought I would show my creation in a little more detail.

You might think from the name that Sarah's digi kit 'Be Mine' is a Valentine's kit but I wanted to show how lovely the colours and papers work for other occasions as well.

Here's what you'll need:

• Be Mine Digi Kit

• Sentiments Stamps

• Adirondack 'Stream' inkpad

• C6 Kraft card blank

• Cream Card

• Speech Bubble Die

• Bakers Twine, Glitter Glue, Glossy Accents, Warm Grey 1 ProMarker and a Clear Wink of Stella Brush Pen

Step by Step:

1. On Microsoft Word resize the bubble and chevron paper from the 'Be Mine' digi kit to 9.5cm by 13.5cm and the bird embellishment to 7cm tall and print onto white paper. 
2. Cut the bubble paper out and ink the edges with turquoise ink. Mat onto cream card, ink the edges and fix to the card blank with double sided tape. Stamp sentiment along the top edge.
3. Cut the chevron paper into a 10cm by 7cm fishtail and ink the edges. Mat onto cream card, ink the edges and wrap with bakers twine. Fix to the card blank with 3D foam pads.
4. Cut out the bird and attach to the card blank using double sided tape. Add shading with a ProMarker and a glitter pen and add Glossy Accents to the eye. Fix to the card blank using foam pads.
5. Die cut a speech bubble four times from cream card and glue together. Once dry stamp the sentiment on and fix to the card with 3D foam pads.
