Let The Planning Begin !!

I am going to be so well organised and hopefully not forget anyones Birthdays, Anniversaries etc ! ;-)

I just bought this fab Filofax, to be honest I did want a Websters Pages Planner  but they aren't available just yet, I will have to wait a couple more weeks but I love the light teal one especially, so I will get one of those too :-) In the meantime I was desperate to use my fab new Planning Ahead Stamp Set and the super cute little inch Hybrid Ink pads from the last Plan On It Release 



My plan for today is to plan !!! YAY :-)

and this is the gorgeous planner on my wish list, a girl can't plan too much can she !!! :-)







Hope you all have a great week :-)
Happy Crafting

Simon Says Anything Goes

wed-newchallenge-header

Hi all and welcome to another week on the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge

This week the challenge is

ANYTHING GOES

We are showcasing  Spectrum Noir Products this week and they very kindly provided the Design Team with some of the new Aqua Markers to use and we have to say, we all really loved using them. If you have any  Spectrum Noir Products we would love to see them used but it isn't necessary for the challenge, you can still join in without them. 

  As always Simon Says Stamp will be giving away $50 voucher to shop at the fabulous Simon Says Stamp Store

I made 2 cards this week, for this first one I used Simon's March Card Kit  and used the pens for a direct to stamp technique.


I coloured the flowers with the Spectrum Noir Aqua markers  I used the Floral and Essential sets. 


For my next one I used a Mama Elephant Up and Away stamp and coordinating die set. For this one I watercoloured the images, lovely colours aren't they, these pens really are fabulous, lovely brush and fine detail nibs, excellent quality :-) 


I even finished the inside on this one ;-)

Wild Rose Studio 'Emmeline Corner'

Happy Tuesday ! :-) yesterday was a beautiful day, sunny and warm, I even got my shorts on and had an hour on a sun lounger, but it's gone back to dreary, raining and miserable today. A perfect day to stay in and craft ! there is always a silver lining ;-)

This week on the Papertake Weekly the challenge is 

'A Cut Above'
This could include die cutting, fussy cutting or punches. Or you may have your own interpretation

I used this gorgeous new Emmeline Corner Die from the Wild Rose Studio



I coloured some Tim Holtz Watercolor Cardstock and coloured with some of the new Spectrum Noir Aqua Markers, LOVE THEM !!  the whole design is pretty simple, but I love how this turned out :-)


Our very own Dawny is sponsoring this challenge and will be giving a £10 voucher to spend in the LOTV shop :-)
