la la loopsey

my girls love lala loopsey

i don't quite know why

but meh

they probably feel the same about my love of watching the news each night lol

here is some loopsey fun from this week made for a special birthday girl

 to make her face i used a 11/4" circle punch for her hair and face.

owl punch for the hair bows 

cupcake punch for dots on bows, eyes, and cheeks

 here's a close up of her face

 then i put it on a card-nice and simple
i got the sketch idea from retro sketches 

 i also made a special box for her present to go into that matched the card.

i recycled an old su button container

 just stuck sticky strip all over it and added ribbon and dsp to it and a suede flower

 my little "helper" with her punch art horse she made

 i also made a little hand bag for the rest of the present to match the card and container

 i made a door name plaque out of polymer clay

 i made some matching earrings as well

 here is the matching necklace

and the whole set of present-name plaque, earrings and necklace

cheers ears

christmas scrapbooking

 'tis the time to start thinking about christmas  <>

and panicking about what presents to make for whom and whether i have enough hours in the day lol

just the usual rofl

anyways here's a very simple layout i did using an interestingly electic mix of su goodies

 celebrations dsp

marina mist taffeta ribbon

happy christmas mate stamp set

playful peices level 3 hostess set

plus 3 square brads-red, green and light blue (to match the stripey paper of course!)

you can see here i have just fiddled a bit with the end of the ribbon just to add some more depth to my page

cheers ears

scrapbooking su style

 i have been getting into my scrapbooking again lately 

because stampin up have brought out a new fabulous range of 

papers and embellishments that i just love to bits

it is almost like they asked me what my favourite things were and decided to stock only that!

needless to say i am going to have to do a lot more workshops and catalogue demonstrations to get all the goodies i want in my hot little crafty hands.

 here's a page i scrapped recently of my mum's wedding. 

she had yellow roses in her boquet so hence my use of daffodil delight with the love letter dsp.

i have used a lot of differnt su things to make this page 

including the scallop envelope for my journalling and the daubering i have added to the squiggle

on the corner i have used some antique, jumbo, mini, and flower brads and buttons.

on the photo (it's ok-it's a photocopy!!) i used my aqua painter to colour in the flowers and then used crystal effects to make them sticky outy

in the top corner by the squiggles i added a paper daisy, with a clear button and some dsp underneath it. unfortunately the gold string and clear buttons have retired...good thing i stocked up on them huh?!!!

 there are a few more pages i want to showcase so come back tomorrow for another look and please feel free to leave a comment!
