Splashing Around Baggie

There's another new release at Crafty Sentiment Designs, and my project today features one of them, called 'Splashing Around'.  I've made a little baggie Simoand decorated it with a tag using the image. The handles are lace and there's a little closure which I've made using a mini magnet.

Project Recipe:

• Image - Splashing by Crafty Sentiment Designs
• Colouring - Alcohol Markers
• Make and Create Victorian Roses paper pad
• Spellbinders Labels 18
• Glossy Accents
• Pink Brad
• Lace
• Ryman's Hole Punch
• Magnet for closure

Splashing Around

This is the same image that I used on my clock a couple of days ago, but this time she's on a CAS card.   In contrast to yesterday's CAS layout, I've used a stitched speech die and 'hello' script die for the panel at the top.

Card Recipe:

• Image - Splashing Around from Crafty Sentiment Designs
• Colouring - Alcohol Markers
• Maja Design Paper Pad
• Mama Elephant Hello Script Die
• Stitched Speech Bubbles

I've been inspired by:

• Simon's Wednesday Challenge - CAS

• Wild Orchid Craft Flowers
• WOC & Mulberry Flowers
• 15mm Ribbon
• Flat Backed Pearls
• Glossy Accents
• Card-io Majestix mini stamps

Patsy - I Love You

I'm quite excited today because my lovely As You Like It teamie, Suzette, who also happens to be one of the artists and owners of Crafty Sentiment Designs, has some new images out today, and I've been lucky enough to have been allowed to play with some of them ahead of the release.  Not only that, she's demonstrating her new images on TV today. so if you're near a TV or have access to the tinterweb take a peek at Hochanda TV at 10am, 1pm or 5pm today!  I'm hoping one of my cards might even be on TV!!

I'll post some samples over the next few days, but today's card uses a stamp and sentiment set called Dreams, featuring a little girl (Patsy) and her puppy (Gizmo).

Mia

The theme today at As You Like It Challenge is to use your favourite sketch.  I've got a couple of layouts that I return to regularly, but the sketch I've used most often, even months after I found it, is the one I've used today.  I love it because it is actually really simple, although it gives lots of layers.

Here's my card:

And here's the sketch.  It's a bit old and I got it from Creative Craft Challenges in February 2013.

Just to prove it's my favourite sketch, here are a few other cards I've made using this sketch in the past:

I think it's safe to say I've used the sketch a couple of times!  :0)
