Today is Friday the 13th... ooooh I hear you say. But I am in no way superstitious about this so I say 'Happy Friday 13th' to you all - sending best wishes and love your way x x

Today over at Paperbabe Stamps and the theme is a very Fun One!! 

Black & White with one other Colour

The Challenge is live over on the Paperbabe Stamps Blog - please visit to see all the details the prize is amazing so get those entries in 

I chose Blue to go with my Black & White theme 

I made a Birthday Card for my example this time using 'Dillon Hatter' (red rubber stamp) who reminds her of her own little mad hatter son Ethan who this card was for on May 1st when he turned 10.

I used artist colour pencils to colour Dillon Hatter The background was made using Washi Tape and the dots stamp from the Birthday Wishes stamp set I then used 2 of the word stamps from the same set for the sentiment.

'Shopping Essentials' - Phoebe - Bee crafty

Hiya and welcome to my Post for Bee Crafty

This week I have made a card for my littlest Daughter reBecca as its her 7th Birthday in a few week's she may only be young but she is already a shopping diva who knows exactly what she wants lol she has more handbags than I do

I have chosen to colour FASHINettes - Phoebe this week her hair is a lot like reBecca's all long and wavy

I coloured Phoebe using my big collection of alcohol markers - she took best part of a day to colour but I loved every minute

I chose a pretty backing paper which I colour matched with my markers - thats the joy of having a big collection being able to colour match to pretty much any paper i choose - the Shopping List was created using the packaging from some stickers I got online last week it was too nice to throw away I stuck some washi tape across the bottom to hide the brand info. The writing is my own messy writing but I quite like how it turned out

I also used the front half of a shaped cardblank to create the layer behind the shopping list - which I stamped onto using 'Yuletide - Holly Swirl', 'Beautanicals - Dandelion' and the tiny butterfly from 'The Village - Elm Road' - I added a sentiment 'Happy Birthday' which I mounted onto a panel that I had covered using the same washi tape as earlier. The punched edge on the Mirror Board is from Martha Stewart.

I hope I have inspired you today to mix up your crafting materials with a few things you might not normally use

Mayleedee - Jaunty Art - Paperbabe Stamps

Hiya and welcome to my Blog

Today a new Challenge begins with Paperbabe Stamps

This Fortnight we have a 'Picture Inspiration' Challenge

We would love for you to enter all you need to do is create a project using this picture to inspire you, either the shapes, colours or the figure etc head on over to the  'Paperbabe Stamps Blog' to see all the details

I have used 'Mayleedee' clear polymer stamp and 'Fabulous Everything' clear polymer stamp set

I have created a card using similar shapes and patterns from the background

I created my background by sticking rows of washi tapes over pieces of white cardstock which i then cut using a guilotine into sharp triangles, I arranged these and attached them randomly on a 7x7 cardblank - once dry I freehand drew the doodle border around the edges

I stamped 'Mayleedee' using pale grey ink and coloured her using Copic Markers, once coloured I drew over her eyes and eyelashes using a 005 fine marker to make them stand out and then fussy cut her out close to the outline - I fixed her to the card front using 1mm foam tape to created depth

I stamped the word 'Fabulous' using Archival Ink directly onto the washi back ground and coloured in just the word to make it stand out

Thank you for visiting - I hope you like my project and will visit again soon for more makes
