Stamps and Paper

It was our club night last night...we didn't really complete our two projects as the weather was a little wild and it was raining heavily so we finished earlier as we were concerned about the roads being flooded.

Most of the girls managed to get a paper pieced card made and this is another of my samples.  I've used one of the images from Papermania 'Its a Man's World' stamp set, all I  paper pieced was his chair....Jill from Jillsquillsblogspot
made some fabulous samples for us and I know she has a couple on her blog so pop over to her blog and have a look.
The backing papers I used came  some old K & Co paper pad called Hopscotch, Martha Stewart Punch..

After a very wild night although its showery we do have some sunshine down here in Somerset at the moment...

How quickly Sunday's seem to come around and another challenge at the Snippets Playground...

I've used the Papermania 'SON' stamp and just stamped on snippets of  DP paper....My background paper is Stampin Up, and I've used my new Sentiment dies from Clearly Besotted and great way of using up all those thin strips of left over card..my border is a Martha Stewart punch..

The sun is shining down here in deepest Somerset which is lovely....   today I've decided to have a sort of my wardrobe which is long over due....but will be back in the craft room tomorrow..

It's been a week since my last post as we have been on holiday down in Devon but it was spoilt by some idiot not paying attention and driving into the back of us....it took a couple of days to sort out and also we had to have our car checked to see whether it was safe for us to tow our caravan home....BUT we are OK thats the main thing.

Have you ever bought a stamp, got it home and thought 'what am I going to do with that'??  Well this is one of those, its a  Papermania Urban Stamp called  'Chronology Looking Glasses' it was my bargain stamp from Trago Mills £2.40..so I just had to buy it.... My lovely friend Val shared some of her Chronology papers with me so I scanned a piece into my Craft Artist programme and changed the colour....

I've added different Distress inks to the background as well as paper pieced some of the clocks in a different colours....just 3D his hands and glasses as I didn't know what else to do!

Its a glorious day here with lots of sunshine and I feel quilty crafting I should be out in the garden...there is always tomorrow...

I am sorry if I haven't visited your blog yet but have been washing and ironing since getting home....

This weeks challenge from Bah Humbug is Elegance.
Stamp used is a Papermania one called 'Bauble Decoration'.
Keeping it simple I've 3D the baubles and then added a little bit of glitter.
For the background I've used the Kars Snowflake embossing folders then stamped one of Hero Arts swirls on it.
SU border punched used across the middle and also for the sentiment. Cuttlebug corner die also used.
Unfortunately silver and holographic dont photograph or scanned very well.

Just love these Whiff of Joy stamps this one is Willow with Umbrella....I seem be to in the 'pink & green' mode at the moment!!......Stamped her on watercolour card and have used watercolour pencils. The backing papers are MME 'Wild Asparagus', SU card, flowers from stash, leaf punch, spacer on flower is from The Hobby House. Martha Stewart Valentine heart punch and pearls from Papermania.
