Special Moments


Morning Peeps, it's the first Sunday of the month which means the start of our new challenges at We Love Stamping and Stamping Sensations where our themes are Anything Stamped with the option to add stencilling at the first or wings/tails at the second. Winners will received goodies from Lavinia and Uniko, photos of both bundles over at the challenge blogs.

It's AALL and Create for all shares,  I am loving their images since making the change from CB in the Autumn and have to say the quality and range of images is excellent and so inspirational.

My wings for Stamping Sensations comes in the form of the fabulous Woodpecker set called Follow your Own Path along with clocks from the aptly named Clock and Flowers. I have also added a few elements such as the sentiment from other sets, a coordinating envie and some clock hands to finish.


This one features a DL stamp called Gem of a Plant along with the squirrel from Key Botanical's, an Oxide and acetate 'splodged' background and stencilling, the little squirrel cut out and popped onto the word from the same set. Again an envie to match a la Hilary.


This set is called Scripted Botanicals and is just one of four in the set, they are not the cheapest brand, but most sets have several good sizes images so lots for your money and stamp like a dream. I created a partial circle with the Gelli Plate and added some stencilling. 

The sentiment is from one of my own sets, this one called Believe in your Dreams, several have asked where they can but them now. I have been tweaking/re-designing several sets which are to be released by a different company to previously and will be available very soon at the Craft Store or Create and Craft, the name which I believe is going to be used going forward from 25th February.


And one final Butterfly share using one of the Images from A&C's A4 set called Through the Meadow stamped onto a Gelli Place background, heat embossed with details clear EP, two of the sections tamped a second time onto white card and added as spotlights.

Looking forward to seeing you all at the challenges this month.

Wow Brenda .. so many fab makes this morning, where to start? To comment on the lovely points of each in detail would take half a page. I’ll just say my favourite is number 3 as the stamp is so beautiful, and your whole colour scheme and background stunning. Very interested to hear your sentiments are to come out again as I was only thinking yesterday that the style of stamping I’m trying to get into needs motivational words and I’m struggling to find what I want .. I’ll keep an eye out xx

Di nuovo congratulazioni Brenda per il tuo incarico per AALL and Create, molto meritato! Bellissimi samples! Il picchio è perfetto con gli orologi, quelle lancette metalliche e uno dei tuoi caratteristici sfondi ad inchiostro, sempre interessanti. Molto bella anche la card con lo scoiattolo e il fiore arancione sullo sfondo di parole.
La mia preferita di oggi e quella con i fiori colora malva e lo sfondo a cerchi, davvero stupendi i fiori e CONGRATULAZIONI per avere rivisto i tuoi propri sentiments in vista di una nuova uscita in commercio!! Ben fatto!
Le buste "a la Hilary" rendono davvero tanto! :)
L'ultima card è molto elegante e dolce, mi piace molto l'effetto spotlights!
Un grande abbraccio, buona domenica e spero che tu ti possa rilassare un pochino, finalmente!
