The Stamping Chef New Release - Batter Up

Yep OK it sounds like something to do with a chip shop, but its not. Its the name of the fab new release from Tamara at

and this gorgeous girl is called 

'Batter Up'

I coloured her with pro markers and decided to try a different combination for skin tone to what I usually do, and I like it, a lot. The papers are from my stash, the sentiment is a rubber stamp I inked with 2 different memento dew drop inks. I kept the embellies simple with some red & blue buttons and coloured some pearl flat backs using pro markers. The 'Go Girl' is some little foam alphas I picked up for a few pence at a craft shop clearance ages ago.

I hope you like my sporty girl, and don't forget you can grab her with 20% off this weekend only.

Big IS Beautiful

Good Morning Blogland

Whoopsie Me!! I forgot to schedule my post for today but here it is, in the nik of time I think

Today is Friday (even thought my brain forgot and we've not even had the bank holiday yet but I'm still confused what day it is lol) so that means NEW RELEASE day at TSC

Now a few weeks ago I asked the fabulous Tamara (TSC Owner/Creator/Artist/ Amazing Person/ Etc Etc) is she ever thought of drawing a larger lady who was still sexy like her other ladies. Being a large lady myself I have found most of the bigger gal digis are comical and made to get laughs, not portraying us as sexy mummas.

Well Tamara certainly got this spot on, I love her. She is called

Round=A Shape 2

and you can get here with 20% off over the weekend

I knew that I wanted to make something for me to keep using her so I pulled out an A5 book I had been storing for future use. I covered the front cover in all different designs of washi tape, god I love that stuff, and added a title 'Colour My World' with liquid pearls, the more colour the better 

I coloured the image with pro markers and roughly tore round the edges which I then chalked in different colours

As the book has blank pages I decided it would be my stamp reference book, its nearly full of images of all the stamps I have already :)

Why don't you pop along and grab Round=A Shape 2 this weekend and get her at a bargain price

Rollin' On By

Good Morning! 

Today see's something rather special,
ROLLER DERBY!!

Kitty Paw v's Bonnie 

(The Stamping Chef v's Simply B Stamps)

Both Tamara & Betty have done amazing images for the Roller Derby and each one comes with its own challenge
I used

 Kitty Paw Ventura

from

The Stamping Chef…..

The challenge for those using KittyPaw Ventura is a recipe challenge

1 Ribbon
2 Buttons
3 Papers

I coloured Kitty with pro markers and added glossy accents to her lips and the wheels on her roller boots. I decided she needed to be bold & bright so went with orange, lime and cerise colourways & love how she turned out. I printed the sentiment from my laptop, it took me ages to think of something to go on this card. 

If you want to play along you can find KittyPaw at The Stamping Chef and Bonnie at Simply B Stamps. The winners will get an amazing prize so go get your images and play

BUT

will you be Team TSC or Team SBS

the choice is yours

The hearts were cut using Sizzix Thinlit Scallop Heart dies and I added heart shaped flat backs. The sentiment is from the filmstrip stamp set from Whimsy Stamps.

BINGO!

Hello Bloggers

It's time for another challenge at 

Creative Creations Challenges

and this time it's a great one

BINGO

Our sponsor for this challenge is

and the winner will get a $5 gift certificate to spend instore

If you havent done a Bingo challenge before its quite simple, you have to include 3 elements from the chart above that are in a straight line. Tat can be horizontal, vertical or diagonal but cannot be zigzag.

Here is my make using

Pearls, Image & Sentiment

This was my first ever A4 card and I made it for my daughters 20th birthday. It was intimidating for a start as the image and space to fill was so much bigger than my usual 6x6 card but once I got stuck in I really enjoyed making it.

The image is from KennyK and is called Madison Attitude, I love KennyK images, you can always find one to suit any occasion/person. I coloured her with pro markers, the papers are from my stash, the pink one printed with writing is from DCWV Text Prints Paper Stack. I used the Crafts Too Graceful Flourish die & another die I can't for the life of me remember what it's called, sorry. I embossed a piece of purple card with a grid pattern using my hougie board and added a border I made using a Martha Stewart punch. The sentiment I made on the computer and added flat back pearls to finish the whole thing off.

My daughter loved it, the image is so her as clothes shopping is her favourite pass time.

I hope you will join us in the Bingo challenge and all of us DT look forward to seeing your creations.
