Card
I stamped my image and watercoloured it in with Marvy Le Plume pens, then matted on to backing paper. I embossed some paper with a Cuttlebug embossing folder, and matted the main image on to that and then made a little pocket with another piece. I made a tag and stamped the message to go in the pocket, then punched out some flowers in co-ordinating papers to embellish.
~~~~~~~~





Card
I decided to use this Magnolia Goblin stamp of William because I love the cute little catapult in his pocket! I coloured William in with Distress Inks and matted him on top of K & Co Hannah papers. I also added a little pocket in the bottom left corner and added a tag which says 'you are loved'. I finally added some little blue buttons to the corners of the card.
~~~~~~~~






Card
For my card I have made a double pocket card. This is a very simple fold and I have used double sided card to make it. All the edges have been edged with a Gold Krylon pen. The images are from the Joanna Sheen Fashion Boutique CD. I have added a couple of Flora Doodles and embellished the tags with ribbon.
~~~~~~~~~






Inchie
For this week's theme I made an inchie (1'' x 1''). I decorated it with some silver beads, a crafty individuals image and a paper flower. I cut out a tiny pocket in brown cardstock and made a tiny tag to go inside it. I wrote the word love and finished off by adding some ribbon.
~~~~~~~~~








Card
For this card I cut a pocket out of plan card and stamped it with the words and stars in blue stazon and added hand drawn stitched around the edge in blue pen and added gems. i then mounted the pocket onto the checked paper.
I made a tag with the sizzix and stamped it wit a checked stamp in blue stazon then stapled on a yellow ribbon.
~~~~~~~~~






Card
I stamped the jeans pocket stamp twice with faded jeans ink onto white card. I cut around one of the images then cut the pocket and belt loops from the other and decoupaged it on to the first. I distressed the jeans a little with a brown ink. I threaded brown ribbon through the belt loops and secured at the back. I put brads onto the pocket and attached a flower, then rolled up a
£10-00 note and placed it in the pocket. I mounted the image onto gold card then attached this to a brown base card.

I covered the base with blue pearlesent paper and cut out 3 triangle at the top to make the 'windows'. I cut 4 rectangles the same size out of the same blue paper, edged them with black ink and positioned these to form the panels. I cut 4 smaller rectangles, edged them with black ink and glued these on top of the larger ones. Using a white pen I drew the number 6, the letter box and the door knob. I cut in half a 3d pot of flowers sticker and positioned these at either side of the door

Card
I started by inking a background then stamped mona with black stazon. I inked a chipboard heart to match and stamped the word on some of the spare inked paper and covered it in glossy accents.I added some highlights with an inkssentials white pen. I put a brad to match and some ribbon.
~~~~~~~~~






Scrapbook Page
I made a scrapbook page of my lovely black haired dog Poppy! I used Basic Grey Periphery paper for the background and some Cosmo Cricket Fleuriste, and found an appropriate quote to use together with some stamping and Primas.
~~~~~~~~~





Card

For my card I have used one of the new Shabby Chic Tilda images and coloured her with Copic markers. The background of the card is made up of Cuttlebug embossing and Papermania patterned paper squares with stitching detail. Embellished with a satin ribbon tied through an eyelet on the side and prima flowers.
~~~~~~~~~





Card
Very simple this week. The Dolly Mama is stamped with versafine black ink on to white card, and simply coloured in with twinkling H20's. The sentiment is also stamped with black versafine ink. I matted and layered with co-ordinating coloured card and then mounted this onto a white card base.
~~~~~~~~~






Card
I made a frame around my card using some blue and yellow paper and basic grey cardstock. I embellished the frame with beads and sequins. I printed out a clipart postcard and distressed with a mustard seed ink pad. I then watercoloured my Shabby Chic Tilda and Rufus dog stamps and also used my postage stamp by Paperartys. I made my own background using watercolours. I next made a little tag and embellished with flowers. I finished off with a brown prima, yellow ribbon, buttons, gems and adding some detail with gold liquid pearls.
~~~~~~~~~





Card

I stamped Lily with her doll and coloured her face, arm and hair with water colour pencils. I then stamped her again onto Basic Grey Blush paper and paper-pieced her dress. I covered my card with the same paper and added blooms, brads, ribbons and wire around the image. I finally added copper stickles to the centre of the flowers on the paper for a bit of bling.
