Morning girls

Sorry about the lack of blogging this week but Mr Mojo has up and done a runner again:(

I've absolutely no inspiration at all.   

I've even watched some telly this week which I never do.  Gosh there's some crap on there isn't there?

No wonder I prefer my puter lol

Anyway I've my Totally Papercrafts DT project to show you today.

It's Mel's turn to host and she's chosen our theme this week which is

BLACK & WHITE

We've two sponsors this week too

and a brand news sponsor for us

I've gone for plain and simple!!   Well I did tell you Mr Mojo wasn't playing didn't I?

I stamped this gorgeous snowman from Sparkle n Sprinkle but left him naked.  Cut him out and pop dotted him onto a black circle which I then attached to some white tags which I cut with my cricut.

I then printed some of this gorgeous paper from Amber Ink and used it as wrapping paper 

Job done!!

Do pop over to the challenge blog for bucket loads of inspiration from my teamies, they all did 

a great job with this one and, of course, play along too:)

It's hard to believe it was April when I ran with the pink  torch now

So we're having a blog hop. Catch the train and see some fab new images and inspiration from all the torchbearers

Twelve short months ago

We made our big debut.

So now we'd like to commemorate

our 1st birthday with you.

This flash mob of torchbearers

always light our way.

Won't you please jog along

on our special day?

Leave your comments here and there

over the next 48

on FRIDAY we'll announce the loot.

Don't wait...Let's CELEBRATE!
(Don't forget to comment Here, there and everywhere)

You should have arrived here from Sue's blog so if you didn't then you'd better run back to the begining and play catch up.

I've used this fab food mixer image and sentiment, perfect for all those cooks among us.

Papers are Basic Grey which I've also used to paper peice the image.

I've kept it plain and simple as I felt this paper was quite busy therefor a piece of black lace is the only embellishment I've used.

Your next stop is the lovely Penni,

Have fun girls!!

It's time to pass the Amber Ink Torch

Morning girls
If you can read this then Mr Blogger is behaving himself today and has posted nicely for me whilst I get in some rays:)

Unfortunately it's time for me to pass the lovely Pink Torch over to a new gal today and set her off and running.  

A mahoosive thanks to Mandi who passed her Pink Torch Torch to me.  

Before I tell you about my replacement though I'd like to thank Amber and Pam for having me this month and of course allowing me to play with the fab Amber Ink images.  I've had a ball running with that Pink Torch and will look forward to seeing what my lovely replacement creates too.  
I guess your really itching to know now aren't you?  Well I've kept it a secret long enough so I suppose the time is right now:)

I'm delighted to hand the Pink Torch over to 

Nancy

For those of you who don't know Nancy, she and I are teamies over on Karen's Doodles and she creates the most gorgeous cards, with a smashing eye for colour and use of embellies.  I think she'll have an absolute ball running along this month.

Don't forget to visit the other girls who created alongside me this month.  Katie, Cathy, Jane and Michelle.  Each and every one of their creations have been brilliant and it's been an absolute pleasure to be on the team with them.

   

My time is up.................

Morning girls
I've throughly enjoyed carrying the torch for Amberink this month.  I've had a blast with the cutest little Mermaids you ever did see.  Did you notice I totally fell in love with them?

All good things come to an end though and it's time to say cheerio, ta ra and goodbye to Amber and her super images for now.  So I'll leave you with a little recap of what I created this past month.

In a day or two it will be time for me to pass the pink torch to a super talented girlie but I'm keeping it a secret  till then.  All that remains is for me to say a mahoosive thank you to Mandi for passing the torch to me and of course to Amber for allowing me to create with her super images. Thanks so much girls I've had a ball:)

Thanks for popping in today

The last one

Morning girls
What's the deal with Mr Blogger today?  I've been an age trying to get signed in:)  No dashboard showing, just error messages.  Thankfully all seems well now.
Anyway, today I've my last torchbearers card for Amber Ink to show you.

First off, excuse the dark pic. The weather here is absolutely atrocious today, wind, rain and a dark sky then the next minute a wee bit of sun pops out for all of two seconds lol.  I'm sure you get the picture!!!
Once again I've used the Baby Mermaids set.  I loaded up my graphics programme and merged two of these little cuties onto a rock, so three images in total.  I just adore the little one with the mirror, look at her little tongue sticking out!!  Cute as a button eh.
Coloured with copics, papers are also by Amber Ink, sentiment was a freebie I grabbed from somewhere, sorry I didn't label it so if it's yours please contact me so I can give you a link back:)  Buttons, flowers and brads are all from my stash.
So, there you have it, I'll do a little recap in a few days and then it'll be time for me to pass that pink torch along to ............................. you'll just need to wait and see, it's a secret!

challenges:

Magical Mondays - sketch

Top Tip Tuesday - flower frenzy

Crafty Sentiments - buttons

Allsorts - use at least three different stamps

another little mermaid

 Hi girls
Well we're back to the rain here in Glasgow.  It's been a horrid muggy day so I got on with another card for Amber Ink.  I can't believe my month as a torchbearer is almost over:(  I've had so much fun creating with these little cuties.

This is another one from the Baby Mermaid Friendship collection.  Isn't she a little sweetheart?  I thought since she's a little 'un I'd make a Mother's Day card with her, hence, the flowery papers and embellishments.  I've coloured as usual with copics, DP's are Dovecrafts all the other little bits and pieces are from my stash.

challenges:

Wee Memories - Crafts  - use whatever you like on your project

Card Making Mamas - for a loved one

Paper Cutz - Mother's Day

Stamp Something - use a digi

Pixie Dust Studio - under the sea

Make a splash

Morning girls
T'is little me with my third project for Amber Ink.  I'm having so much fun with these images:) It's refreshing to play with something different isn't it?  They've really boosted me mojo which has been almost non existent for the past couple of weeks.

So, this little cutie is part of the Baby Mermaids friendship set and the gorgeous matching papers are called Goldfish Blue  I wish you could really see the vivid colours on the paper, bright, bold and printed beautifully too:)  I've coloured with my usual copic markers, punched out a couple of flowers to which I added buttons  then didn't like but since they were already sewn onto the card I was stuck with them so I added some glitter!!  Where there's a will there's a way right?  I finished off with a ribbon and a little brad.

challenges:

Sunday Sketch & Stamp - sketch

Top Tip Tuesday - anything goes

Craft Your Passion - anything goes
Divas By Design - anything goes
Papertake Weekly - anything goes
Miami Doodles - let's get girlie

just a little fishy

Evening girls
It's been another lovely day here, just wish it brought me mojo along with it:(  I've hardly looked at my blog or any other one for that matter never mind make a card for days now!!!  I've no inspiration whatsoever so if you've any going spare share it out will ya? 
I decided this afternoon that I'd need to get going on something so checked out the Less Is More challenge and hey presto this little fish came swimming right at me:)




As you know I'm one of the April Torchbearers for Amber Ink and these two little fellas worked perfectly along with a freebie sentiment from Paulette and better still allowed me to play along with Chrissie and Mandi on their 'off centre' challenge too.  Imagine losing yer mojo with fab new things to play with!!!!!
There's not alot to tell with this one really.  I joined the three images in my photo editing programme and printed it straight onto a 5 x 5  square card then coloured the little fishes with copics.

challenges:

Less is More - off centre

Top Tip Tuesday - make it square

Simon Says - anything goes
