Wild Rose Studio...New Spring releases

Well, lovely Crafty peeps...

Have we got news for you...Yes, we have!

Most of you must know I have been a DT member for Wild Rose Studio since it was started a few years ago now and this weekend not only saw the release of the gorgeous new spring stamps BUT also the launch at Stitches of the first WRS catalogue...

26 pages of glossy gorgeousness. Stamps, papers, and lots of card ideas!

Over the next few weeks I will be showing you some of my cards along with some images of the new stamps and hopefully some of the catalogue pages...

I'm sure you will all be getting your sticky, glittery, inky hands on one of these as soon as they are delivered to your local craft shop.

Here is one of my cards in the catalogue...Annabelle with Lambs.

Coloured with Promarkers in Spring Greens and LemonYellows...

All the papers are from various WRS paper packs...
and nothing says spring quite like Gingham!

I used Lace doillies, a daisy punch, pearls, and ribbon.

 Touches of glitter here and there....

 A fab spotty yellow button tied with lemon ribbon...

 Some challenges...

Crafty Ribbons...Button up

Papertake weekly...Buttons and Bling
Cutie Pie...Pretty pastels
Creative Card Crew...Birthday

Hope you like my card!

TTFN...
much love from SallyB

Love is in the air...

Good Evening all...

Have you made your Valentine cards yet?

I've been colouring lots of new WRS images from the Love and up coming Spring stamp and paper collection and will be making them up into cards to show you very soon.

From last years collection...

Here's cute Wild Rose Studio Louis Bear with a big red heart to give you!

 All the papers are new Wild Rose Studio.

I bought these Kraft cards a while ago but haven't used them as much as I would like...but colouring bears in lovely tones of brown look really good with them.

My cinnamon Promarker has been well used.

Wooden button, tag and twine are also a must with Kraft card!

Valentine Bear Hug...

Evening all...

I'm back with another card using stamps and Papers from the New Love and marriage collection from Wild Rose Studio.

 How about a Big Bear hug in the rain?

 The image is coloured with Promarkers and then layered on Red card.

 I made a banner and used a HUGS sentiment Rub on Lettering, then layered this across a heart die cut.

I got this Umbrella Charm in a big box of charms and ribbons sent to me by my WRS DT pal Kate as part of our christmas secret santa.

I used two ribbons...a satin blush pink tied in a bow and a sparkly heart white organza for across the back.

 This Rose was coloured in with Promarkers to match the paper.

Martha Stewart Doily punch for the lace edge.

Some challenges...

Papertake weekly...Tie up some loose ends (use a Bow)

Craft Us Crazy...Valentine/Love/use Red

Tuesday Throwdown...Furry Friends

Pile It On...Have a heart

Just Married Bears...

Hello all...

I guess we are all pretty much 'snowed under' by the weather this weekend.

I drove to school yesterday in a beginnings of the flurry...had a hot chocolate in the staffroom and then watched as it literally turned into a blizzard.

School Closed and I came back home very slowly.

It has ended a very emotional week for me as one of my friends passed away quite suddenly, aged only 39, last Saturday night.

She had health issues from birth but she was the happiest, funniest, cheekiest, and most lovely, caring person I have ever known.

She is the lovely smiley lady I have cut in half on the far left...on one of our weekend food nights!

Our Nights out and In will never be the same without her!

RIP Darling Verity

Blue for a boy...

Hello again.

Happy New Year to you all!

Hope everyone had a fabulous time over the last ten days...

I have been very relaxed...the door was firmly shut on the craft room...so much so that it was a bit like the Exorcist when I went back in this week. 

(So cold I could see my breath, NO head spinning)!

I de-camped on to the kitchen table to turn all the christmas cards in to tags and will show you a piccie of those later 

BUT...

Today I'm showing a new baby card...

 Using very cute Bella the elephant stamp (but coloured in for a baby boy) from Wild Rose Studio.

 Layered up with light turquoise blue card to match the lovely dotty WRS background paper.

Felt and paper flowers, buttons and leaves all in various shades of blue.

 Ribbon, Twine and an acrylic precious tag.

Some challenges...

Crafty Ribbons...New beginnings 

Charisma Cardz...Monochrome

I love promarkers...Monochrome
Lets Craft and Create...Buttons

I'm hoping that my little elephants grey skin and tiny pink flower for mum will be Ok for the monochrome theme.

Well that's my first post for 2013.

Hope you will continue to follow me and my crafting adventures.

Lots of new Wild Rose Studio projects to come....

Thanks for your comments...I LOVE them!!!

Bella in the snow

Good Morning!

Happy Christmas Eve, which we all know is our favourite day!

Pyjama day for us, last minute wrapping and I'm going to do some baking and Muppet Christmas Carol is on tv!

 Yay!!

 So here is my last post before the Big day...Bella the elephant in the snow.

These Wild Rose Studio panels have been brilliant this year!

I mounted the panel onto Red card.

I stamped and embossed lots of mini stars onto plain dark blue paper for my background.

 Silver card, silver brads and some silver tinsel along with some glitter give the shine and sparkle.

Thin red sparkly ribbon just along the centre.

 Close up of my embossed stars and tinsel...

 Just a couple of challenges...

Winter Wonderland...Wish upon a star

My time to craft...Animals in the snow

Hope you all have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Will look forward to catching up with you all soon..

Snow White...

Good Evening folks...

How are the Christmas preparations coming along? 

I think I am just about on top of the present shopping...however the card making...mmmm!
 

The papertake weekly challenge this week is Snow White. 

Cupcake craft challenge is Merry Christmas.
Crafty Boots Challenge...is Christmas.

 I used this lovely Wild Rose Studio panel of Annabelle decorating her tree in the snow...The background paper is also WRS from Annabelles christmas paper pack and has delicate white snowflakes on it.

I used my snowflake punch is two different ways...

first to punch some white snowflakes. I then added white sequins, clear mini gems and glitter then I dotted them around the image...

 

 Then I used the punch around the edge of the snow paper before layering onto bottle green card.

White lace tied with gingham ribbon and a red rose sewn in...

The days are being filled up now with lots of Christmas festivities...

We've just had a lovely weekend away in Oxford with old college friends, mostly eating and drinking but we went ice skating on Sunday which was very funny!

 My youngest sang with the school choir at the Carol Service on Monday night.The paths up to the church were lit with tealights and the church looked so lovely.

School Christmas Production tomorrow night and more visiting friends this weekend. 

Christmas dinner at school next Tuesday and Christmas party all day on Thursday!

I hope you come back and visit me soon...lots more cards and chat to share!
