Morning all, hope your all well? Today's creation is one i made using Crafters Companion Majestic Butterly stamp set, not sure of the name of the embossing folder, but was a Crafters Companion one too! I love these stamps, the way you stamp the different layers to get different effects and colour ways.
As always, would appreciate your comments.
Take care and have a nice day!

Set of 3 boards...

 At Ally Pally earlier this year, i met Sam Poole and she was lovely, i bought some stamps, as well as tons of other goodies (surprise surprise!) and finally got round to using them, they are gorgeous! love these stamps by her.
This is a set of 3 boards i made, using the steampunk set of stamps from her, i spritzed the backgrounds and the papers  used to make the flowers and butterflies and just grunged away! i must admit, was pretty pleased how they came out! 
Hope you like them too?

Another creation using Daisy, i cant think how i had her stashed away! shame of it!
Anyway, the papers are papermania ones the black and white set, remembered this time (big smiley face!) coloured using speccies and the sentiment is a whimsy sentiment stamp, been colouring a few of these lately... so im sure there will be more ;-)

Oh my word ~ I'd totally forgotten about this little beauty! in the bottom of a drawer! eeek! slap my wrists ~ i know ~ shame of it!
Anyway, here she is coloured with my speccies and some papers that i had laying about ~sorry but i cant think for the life of me where i got them, i know i downloaded them, and they are gorgeous. The sentiment is Stampin' Up! (Oval All)

...another play...

yes, this is another post for this month! your not seeing things, ive been crafting!
Here's another little stamped image ~ found all my little characters that i'd forgotten i had! wow have i got some stamps! ooops!
This one im sure is a tilda stamp, have no idea what she is called tho (embarrased look!) coloured with promarkers tho, and using some papers i printed off from somewhere so long ago!
As i had a bit of a clean up/clear out i came across all sorts that id printed off, stamped.... so thought id better start to use this stuff, rather than it sit there....gathering dust!

My first Bombshell

My gorgeous new Bomshell stamps arrived couple days ago and how chuffed was i?
These stamps are just so gorgeous! I think this might have to be my fav ~ but then its so hard to choose as they are all really gorgeous.
I had this book~designed the paper for the front and covered it, stamped it (missed few bits! so had to improvise with gems and the roses!) The main image i crackled and stamped over, then coloured it and glazed, added some flowers to her shawl and that's about it. Was pretty pleased how it came out tho!
 Closer shot of the image...
Hope to see you again soon

Altered book

Ok so i've been M.I.A but i have been really busy working in the background for Crafters Companion, but i have been crafting here and there when i get a chance!
This was a little something that took me a while to do, its a birthday book, which my mum has her eye on! 
It started off life as a plain bit of chipboard, which i then grunged up, glittered, glued and stamped on. The background i was particularly pleased with as i did the wood effect with paint and pleased how it came out.
This is the inside, page for every month with a page to write on....
 ... and the back, not as pretty as the front i might add, but i was still pleased with it!

I must also admit, that these were samples that i was meant to send off for the  launch and missed the posting date for them! yes i know im a wally!!! Couldnt resist showing you them tho, as they really do what they say on the CD... Adorable!
