If, as mine is, thy life a slumber be…


The Baby Teen Scene collection has been released at Simply B Stamps and this card features the cute Nap Time Miller from the collection.


To make up my card I’ve followed the current sketch over at Seems a Little Sketchy.  For a change I didn’t resize to fit my usual 6x6 card instead I resized to be a DL size as that’s the current theme at My Time to Craft.  We won’t talk about the sheet of cardstock I messed up in printing my logo on the back, it’s tricky working with a card that’s a rectangle, you’ve got to get things placed just right and I didn’t set my printer properly.  Starting with an 8x8.25 piece of card means no second go at the one sheet like a 6x6 but I think the size worked well for the image and the sketch.

I found the plaid paper in my Graphic 45 stash; it reminds me of a blanket so worked perfectly for this image.  I wanted to keep things fairly simple as this is a boy card so went for textures and all shades of blue.  I swapped out the plain oval element for the scalloped Nestie to give more of a cloud impression, a bit of Fran-tage on the outline added to the effect.  The puffy sticker from Freckled Fawn was a serendipitous find in my stash, the right colour and the perfect sentiment.

As this card is for a boy and features a die cut I’ve got both themes covered for the current Ladybug Crafts’ challenge so I’m also entering it there.

To see more of these awesome images, head on over to the SBS blog and check out what the rest of the DT have done with them.  You can also see more of my projects featuring Blankie Chris at this post, Rockin’ Baby Christian over here and Rubber Ducky Jude at this post.  Oh, and stay tuned to see what I’ve done with the awesome girls in this collection because you knew there had to be equally cute girlie images!

Yet still my heart goes to thee…



This is my second project featuring one of the awesome Teen Scene Steampunk Valentine images being rereleased at Simply B Stamps, this one features the handsome My Heart Aflutter Christian.


I’ve done this one in a more masculine style and kept well away from the girlie elements of my previous card using Kitty Love London, just to show how versatile these images are.  As I have kept it ungirlie I’ve naturally steered away from florally elements so I am entering it in the current challenge at Rhedd & Rosie’s.

To make up my card I’ve followed the current sketch over at Outlawz, the simple square elements working well for a masculine unfrilly card.  For embellies I’ve got out my favourite ones from Tim Holtz and gone to town with lots of gears and metal, perfect for a male card.  The current challenge at Ladybug Crafts is to use your favourite embellishments so I’m also linking this up there.

Now be sure to go check out all the other amazing projects featuring the rest of the Teen Scene Steampunk Valentine images over at the Simply Steampunk Challenges blog.

Honk if it’s Your Birthday

I’ve got a cute little card to share today featuring Beep Beep Jude from Simply B Stamps.


And this one is heading out to little Jude himself for his birthday.


I used my Cameo to do a cut to make my shape card, I just stuck two of the Beep Beep Judes together and used the outline feature to make the card bigger than the image I printed.  I then used the same function with an internal cut to make smaller shapes for the inside.  So simple and one of the many things to love about my Cameo!

As it’s a shaped card I’m entering it in the anything goes challenges at Creative Fingers and Party Time Tuesday.  Jude’s favourite colour is blue so there’s lots of it on my card so I’m also linking it up at Ladybug Crafts Ink TLT.

Pixie Perfect

The beautiful image on my card is the Pixie that was included with the Coloring Class with Betty over at Simply B Stamps.


Now I’ve had her coloured up for a while, I didn’t colour along with the class but I did print her out and then coloured her on the train after work a couple of nights.  She’s been waiting to go on a project ever since and the ‘Using Your Favourite Colours’ challenge over at Through thePurple Haze was the perfect excuse to finally do up a project.

I don’t really have a favourite colour but this image works for that theme as the skin tones are the ones Betty used in the class (mostly) and ever since I coloured up this pixie they have been the only skin tones I’ve used.  So you can say that they are my favourite skin tone colours.  The hair colour is also my favourite non-traditional hair colour although I tend to stick to traditional colours but for an image like this you can’t go for a boring blonde or brunette!  The colour combinations on the wings also spent a long time in my Copic wallet and have been used on a few projects since, for a subtle feel to an image I do tend to find myself going for these.  So I guess you could say that these are my favourite colours, if not in the strict sense that people usually mean!

To make up my card I followed the current sketch at Bearly Mine Challenges.  I’m thinking now maybe I needed some patterned background paper but it’s all glued down so too late to change my mind!  The small piece I actually printed off from the Bearly Mine Designs Steampunk Fantasy digi paper set.
