Love U

Happy Wednesday from sunny Spain ( I hope - I'm typing this before I leave lol). The theme this week at Stampotique is Love/Anniversary, and here's my card.
Whatever happens Rootie Toot and Henny Penny will always have Paris lol.
In the background there is Eiffel Tower, stars from the Design Cube, and the die cut stars have been stamped with Fax To Wolfgang.
On the other side we have Stacked Love and the U from Just Be U. Isn't this the cutest bird :-)
I hope you can join in with our challenge and remember there is the chance to win a $30 gift certificate from the Stampotique store.
Hope you like my card, and thanks very much for looking x

Super Hazel!

Hi there, it's Wednesday again so it must be time for another Stampotique challenge. This week it's the fabulous Gez's turn to play hostess, and she has chosen the theme of Sentimental. Here's what she has to say.
Hi Gez here, I am delighted to be your hostess for this challenge.. I love sentiments and sayings, they really say it all to me! They make a piece finished! I'd like you to share some of your favourite words with us this week! They can be a main focal point or an embellishment, it's your choice! Say it with words...
I love making coasters, they're a great size to work with, and they actually get used rather than just put in the box. Ok I don't have a matching set, but that's part of their charm lol.
Super Hazel was inspired by another Stampotique stamp, Janice's Dad. Don't you just love this stamp - damn it that's another for my wish list :-)
The background is a mixture of gesso and TH Distress Paints, and I've used the following stamps.
Now for the rules bit

Box It Up

The lovely Arwen has chosen the theme at Stampotique this week, and she has gone for boxes. Here's what she says 
What could be better than to give a loved one something?
To present a gift effectively, I make nice boxes to do so.
Be it for jewelry, candy, books, etc. - for all you can make great boxes.
But the box itself is a wonderful gift idea.
Show me your boxes!
As "given away" for something or as preserves things?
I'm curious about your boxes.
Sorry Arwen but I kind of missed the point with this one and so here's my box.

I've given pretty Hazel an outing again, along with some of my favourite pooches and foliage.
I've used
Every Girl and Dog
Hazelheart
Give The Dog A Bone
Bushes and
Two Sided Trees
I've been practicing my colouring again lol.
And as everyone knows, every girl needs a dog, and here's Toto, and Every Dog Text 
The thing I like about these boxes is that the fold quite flat to post.
I hope you join in with us and show us your boxes. Remember please no digi images, and have fun x

Celebrate Good Times COME ON

Today we have a super fun challenge for you.  

We are excited at Stampotique that our fans have helped us grow so much and that our stamps,challenges and Facebook page have become such a big hit.  In honour of our excitement, and our 150th challenge, our theme is CELEBRATION.  We want you to create with celebration in mind, whether it's celebrating a birthday, anniversary, wedding, graduation or new baby...let's celebrate!
You know when you have an idea in your head about how you want your card to look, and everything just goes perfectly? - yeah well this was that cards evil twin! After about 3 hours in my craft room I was surrounded by paper, dies, stamps and all I had to show was the base layer, and I wasn't even sure if I liked that. So I walked away, and came back to it the day after.
Once Twinkie and Chessy were in place I felt a bit happier. I've also used the 'happy' from Daniel's Happy Happy Happy banner, and the balloons from Maria's Upward Bound. It's been finished off with a Happy Birthday, and my nephew's birthday card is all sorted. Obviously I'll leave it until the day I post it to put an insert in - no good ever came of being too organised :-)
So please join in with our celebrations, and you could be the lucky winner of a $30 gift certificate. Thanks very much for looking x

PaperArtsy Sunday

There's been lots of inspiration as usual over at PaperArtsy Towers, and the one that I really wanted to try was Linda Cain's triptych. I had to wing it again with the supplies, but here's mine
I must admit I wasn't impressed with the painting, but when I stamped the LP stamps they came to life.
If I had to pick just one LP image, I think it would be teacup lady.
Short and sweet today, SO much to do but I'll be back tonight blog visiting. I hope you like my ladies, and thanks very much for looking x
