It's a Hoot

 I had fun with these...

I joined up the branch with the tree (they're two individual stamps),

to make it look like the elder owl is laughing at the antics of the babes.

Decoupaged the owls, usd a blue blend pen to highlight images and sentiment,

and added snowflake sequins for sparkle

Next I stamp all images separately, using a red pen sparingly, adding a resin red heart

Then die cut holes in the tree paper and added decoupaged owls

That's another 3 done!

I’ll enter the last Rudolph Day Challenge of the year HERE

Have a great day

Rings of Love little villages

Hi there

Following on from yesterday, and you may remember my christmas version 

using the DSP Rings of Love?

Here's some alternatives for any occasion.

You can use incomplete medallions for the background,

and little bits of shrubbery or trees to fill any gaps and create your scene.

Sending Smiles is fab for sentiments.

You can cut the centre from a medallion for a "sun"

I ended up with quite a few :)

Love & Big Hugs

Hi there, I've been playing with the Rings of Love paper,

my goodness it's so adaptable, and lends itself to a lot of fussy cutting,

if that's your bag, and I do love fussy cutting. 

I got inspiration from JamieB.com

Using one of the "doily" images as background, adding house and leaves.

I even cut some of the little trees and bushes, to hide gaps and build dimension.

A little resin heart is popping out of the chimney.

I chose Soft Sea Foam as a backing colour.

Take care where ever you are, and enjoy your day.

Rings of Love for Rudolph Day

 It's the 25th of the month and that means it's the Rudolph Day Challenge again.

A good nudge to make some christmas cards :)

I love the Rings of Love paper, and also love fussy cutting, 

so of course I had to snip out some of the cute houses!

The soft colours can be used for any occasion, so by keeping it clean and crisp, 

adding some glittery snow, and a sentiment, why not christmas !?

Loved cutting little trees and bushes to add dimension!

Used Itty Bitty sentiment to go with the itty bitty pics!

Hop over to the Rudolph Day Challenge for more inspiration!

(If it's late in posting, as Maureen aka scrappy Mo, has her plate full, do try the following day)

Caravan at Christmas in July

I've been away in "Monty" our Motorhome, and always pack my craft bag.

This time I took some christmas stuff, 

which is lucky because I can enter some Christmas in July challenges.

 

I just love these Tree Lot Dies, FREE during sale a bration with a qualifying purchase.

They are soooo cute, see further below for the set

You can play spot the difference with these two cards...

here's the die set...coordinates with Trees for Sale stamp set

.....and a side by side pic.

The background is paper from the FREE Rings of Love DSP,

suits this a TREEt don't you think? haha

It wasn't until I was editing the photos, I noticed how wonky my above right sentiment is!!

It must have been one of those "moved it before dry" moments!

So, I just took another photo with another sentiment stuck over the first!

One of those happy accidents, I prefer it in red!
