Just Inklined to Hop–Lavender and Lace

Today is blog hop day and our super talented Design Team have some amazing projects to show you.

To make the hop more fun, there are 2 hidden spot prizes along the way, chosen from those that leave comments on the blogs.

This months theme is "lavender and Lace" hosted by Gaynor  which is where the blog hop starts.

You should have landed on my blog from Tammy 

I’ve used Little Church in the Snow for my card and you can buy it from Just Inklined

I know I stretched the boundaries with the lavender part as mine is on the purple side but hey lavender comes in lots of shades from deep to light yes?

Image coloured with Copic markers and a little bit of snow writer for the rooftop and scenery.

Next up is Lori who always amazes me with her beautiful creations.

Foldi Lamp giveaway–Daylight Company

There are times in a crafters life that you need to pack up a work station and just take it with you which can be done so that no matter where you are going you can whip out the craft and never be bored. I have always done this on my travels but I have often hit a stumbling block in the way of good lighting. It never seams to be in the right place in hotel rooms.

Daylight company have that covered for us

Not only is this lamp a God send but it is slick and stylish too.

Foldi Lamp

Miles in Winter

Another clean and simple card for me using this gorgeous little chap.

Miles in Winter from Mo’s Digital Pencil 

Coloured with Copic markers and Chalk pencils

He’s such a darling isn’t he?

Later this week I have something special to give away, I just need to do the write up for it but believe me you’ll need it, it’s amazing.

Plain Sailing

I’ve really struggled to make a card this last week or so, you get times like that don’t you? life gets so busy and on top of the hustle and bustle of life we nearly have Christmas upon us.

I was lucky enough to get the cold that has been doing it’s round and I still have the hacking cough to prove it, you know the type, the one that waits until you have warmed up in bed then starts until you are so hot and bothered from coughing that you fling the blankets off only to freeze your nads off later. Hey Ho.

So I needed something to ease me back into colouring and this ticked all of the boxes.

Galleon from Just Inklined it is a pencil lined digital stamp and the beauty of this is that the shading in the stamp helps immensely when colouring, it makes it so easy to colour.

I coloured this one with Copic markers as I only have a limited palette in Graph’It although I will add more to my range because I love them.

I used chalk pencils to create the sky.

Clean and simple style with a little bit of designer paper and a button and hemp cord.

Gift Idea for Children–Place Setting

I had to find something for our Grandson Jack as his place setting and it had to be fun and something that he could relate to.

I found this Gift Bag template and thought “ that should do it very nicely thank you”.

I know I only needed one for Jack but as his Mam runs an area for slimming would and has gifts to give to team leaders the rest will come in very handy for her.

Super fun and easy to make on the Silhouette Portrait and I found the template on the silhouette site, it was one of Lori Whitlock’s templates.

Filled with a few treats and a mini transformer car for when Jack has finished his dinner makes it perfect to get him to tuck into his dinner just to get the prize and the end of it.

Natures Beauty

We had to pop into Durham yesterday and decided to come home the back roads, we often do this road purely as it is scenic, I often wish we had stopped to take pictures but for anyone in the knowing of the Finchale Abby road they will also know that it isn’t for the faint hearted, often barely wide enough for one vehicle let alone having to be side by side with another coming in the opposite direction.

Yesterday was no different, there is a layby to pull in but it was full of cars, mostly ramblers and walkers so I had to make do with my phone camera through the windscreen but….. I think it shows some of Natures Beauty before the leaves are no more.

I think Autumn is such a beautiful season don't you?
