Sunday inspirational for Chi Chi Memories

Hello there, we are at the end of the week again, and what a week it has been! I have been busy finishing up card orders and trying (trying being the operative word) to stop the children fighting over anything and everything!


This weeks card is something a little different for me- I had fun making a shaker card, using kawaii winter girl!





I made the shaker using my sizzix nestability circle dies, some foam tape, and some clear plastic i recycled from one of my daughter's birthday presents! 

i filled it with assorted sequins, in stars, reindeer and crcular shapes.... 
it is so fun just to sit and shake about!

vintage style girls birthday card

woweee... I have been so so so hectic, I haven't had a chance to make something on the spur of the moment for ages... I have been very busy with customer orders for cards, and design team work... I snuck this one in when I had a spare couple of hours to play with!

The image I have used for this card  is from SillyShells on Etsy and it is called 'Ballerina Dress'.



the other ingredients of this card are:
promarkers in antique, cocktail and pale pink
Coffee in the arbour paper from maja designs  at Live and Love Crafts,
Claudine Hellmuth Gesso, liquid pearls in opal also from L&L C

dovecraft doily,
bo bunny sentiment and tag
Flowers handmade using MFT flower trio die,
glossy accents
gold stamens
paper from craft creations

i think the leaf flourish is from cheery lynne designs , but until I find the packet again I'm not certain!

also used were tim holtz distress ink in spun sugar and tea stain, and some synthetic lace.

Hi there and happy sunday!

Today is a busy day, sorting out after my daughter's third birthday party.... but I won't bore you with all that domestic stuff (unless you want to come help put my house back together...)

I have for you today a card made using 'Peekaboo 2'  from the Chi Chi Memories store- she is one of this months new releases!


I coloured her up using copics, and hand stamped a background for her using one of my bo bunny sentiment stamps... I fussy cut her and had her peeking from the top of the card-
