Lots of Sparkle :)

Hi everyone and happy Wednesday :)

Sylvia here with one new -and one not so new- project to share with you :)

First I want to show you a card that is for the new challenge over at Crafts and Me Challenges -beginning as of today- where Mina from the digi team chose the awesome challenge theme 'glitter' :)

So I put on loooots of glitter all around the focal image by smearing Stickles Stardust with my fingers all around. But I wasn't able to capture it properly in a photo *sigh* I tried it so many times.. I think I took over 30 photos *lol* It's such a shame that it looks kind of grubby and coarse-grained in the picture.. in real life it is just beautifully shimmery :)

Well I hope you can at least imagine all the shininess around the 'Time Flies' image illustrated by Jasmine Becket-Griffith and available in the Crafts and Me store HERE

(please click on the photo to view in full size)

I also want to show you this card I made last week for our blog hop (the hop is still going on and you have another full week to hop along with us! Just go to the first post on the top of the blog and start hopping :) )

For this card I used the adorable 'Flapper 2 Melody' stamp illustrated by Lemon Shortbread, available in the Crafts and Me store HERE

(please click on the photo to view in full size)

And here are some additional close ups (for those who have not seen them yet on my blog)

 

 Wishing you all a wonderful rest of the week and hope you'll find some time to get creative :)

Thanks for taking the time to visit our blog!

Vicky here to wish you all a Good morning, hope you all had a fabulous weekend. I havn't been well over the weekend I've been in terrible pain with my kidneys so I havn't made anything fresh for today, I'm so sorry, I am hanging my head in shame tho.

Anyway I thought I would show you a selections of cards with stamps that are available at Crafts & Me

now some of these are old ones but a lot of you may not have seen them so here they are. I will start with my fave cus its a picture I recently made for my daughter using a Sweet Pea stamp.

WARNING PHOTO HEAVY lol

This is 'Flowing In Blue' by Ching-Chou Kuik she was coloured in the same colours as my daughters bedroom.

This one I did last year this was my first ever Crafts & Me stamp from Teresa's own range. She is still my fave I love her hair & face, its my fave things to colour. This is of course 'Butterfly Keep' by Hannah Lynn.

This image is from Whiff Of Joy which Teresa also stocks.

Above is 'Henry Hugging Heart' which hubby got me for crimbo.

More Sweet Pea

This is my most fave Sweet pea stamp this is 'Love Is Gone' & this is a very popular stamp no sooner does she come in she goes back out again lol.

This was my first ever sweet pea stamp 'Seeing Through' by Ching-Chou Kuik this I made about a week ago

The card below is to show you the new Sweet Pea stamps Teresa has in stock.

This is by Caron Vinson called 'Scorpio' you really can do anything with these stamps, let your mind free.

Last but by no means least this is the beautiful 'Petal Melody' by Lemon Shortbread exclusive only to Crafts & Me this is a brown paper bag I decorated to make a pretty gift bag. I sooooo love this stamp & you really could use for any occasion, who wouldn't fall in love with her.

Dusk

Hi there, Karina here... it's my turn today to show you something I created with one of the gorgeous digi stamps available at Crafts & Me. I created a card with Dusk from Sara Burrier, a stamp I fell in love from the first sight as well. 

Isn't she so cute with the little bunnies around her? So a perfect image for Easter as well. I coloured her with Distess Inks. 

We'll have our first blog hop starting today 1st April on our challenge blog.. no April Fool :o). So stay tuned and don't miss it. There you can see more gorgeous creativity from the whole team and get the chance to win some goodies.

Thank you for looking! Wish everyone a wonderful weekend.

Hugs, Karina
