Humour - Sweet Stampin'

Morning all,

Time for a new challenge over at Sweet Stampin', and this week we're having a bit of a giggle with our humour theme!

For some reason when I think humour, I always think Bugaboo, so I dug out one of thir digis to have a play with.

Just one paper design in the background seemed more than sufficient, and after colouring with Promarkers, all it needed was some glossy Accents on both the glasses she is wearing, and the ones containing the wine.

I decorated the inside to match too.

Do you have any funny stamps? Maybe a sentiment or two that make you chuckle? dig them out and come play with us this week, as you can never have enough laughs in your life!

Have a fantabulous day!

humour - Sweet Stampin'

Morning all,

It's time for a new challenge at Sweet Stampin', and this week our theme is humour. we can all do with a laugh now and then, so I'm really looking forward to seeing the entries this week!

I decided to provide you with not one, but two smiles, so here is card one of two...

The sentiment certainly made me chuckle, and I thought the clothes peg was the perfect accompaniment. Of course, there's always the chance that people won't "get it", but I rather thought it was amusing, lol.

The chappy in this next card, a bugaboo digi, looks exactly like someone I work with, so this card will be reserved for his next birthday!

And that's it from me...

Hope you all have a fantabulous (bank holiday) weekend.

Flights of Fancy - The Crafting Cafe DT

Morning all!

I have a somewhat cheeky card for you this morning for this month's challenge over at The Crafting Cafe. The theme is Flights of Fancy, which I think could have many interpretations.

My husband, who is approaching the ripe old age *cough* of 42, is often teased by our youngsters about how terribly old he is. It is a running joke in our household that dad is in fact 65 million years old (he used to have a pet dinosaur, you know...) and hubby plays along with good cheer, regaling them with stories from over the millennia. If he is to be believed he is responsible for many things, both good (he invented the first language, because the grunts of the Neanderthals were getting too confusing) and bad (he's lost count of the amount of earthquakes he's caused after eating sprouts and beans!).

So when I saw the images provided for us by our fab sponsor Doctor Digi's House of stamps, there was one in particular that stood out, because it fit so perfectly with out little running family joke.

This was the result:

So yes, a little cheeky really, but I know hubby will appreciate the joke, and the kids think it's hilarious! It's not his birthday for another 2 months, but I really like being ahead, lol.

Hope you'll find the time to play along with us this month. There's still a week left!

Hope to do some further catching up with you all tomorrow, until then, have a fantabulous time.

Humour - Sweet Stampin' DT

Good morning my dears!

It's Saturday, which means a new challenge over at Sweet Stampin', and it's Team Fi week, which means I get to share my DT project with you all.

And this week, the theme is Humour, which proved to be oddly difficult for a lot of us over at SS Towers! But we all got there in the end. Even me, who couldn't find a single humorous stamp in her entire collection, but found a way around it by combining a regular one with a funny sentiment... Like so:

The image is of course from Stamping Bella, Uptown girl Caitlyn is having a cupcake party. I stamped her on a square of white card, which I matted with pink pearlescent card. I did the same with the sentiment (which was a magazine freebie this Christmas). There's a lot of Stickles on the image too (Stardust and a blue one I can't remember, lol) and of course she was coloured in with Promarkers.

Although if you ask me, it's only funny because it's true! lol. Seriously, it is. I keep making cupcakes for school bun fairs and such, and then eat most of them myself, lol! In fact, I have here a picture of the batch I made for Valentine's day!

Chocolate strawberry swirl cupcakes with chocolate fudge icing (which is, if I may say so myself, to die for!) and some hearts cut out of icing.
I don't really do baking, but I must say, I do a delicious cupcake! :-)

Anyways, enough about that, it's time for you all to go check out what the rest of the Sweeties have come up with (let's face it, after all the hard work they put in trying to come up with something funny, the least you can do is go take a looksee!) and then you can join in with us yourselves to have a chance at winning the weekly Crafts U Love prize, or the monthly Cuddly Buddly one!

Have fun!
