Postcard Travels with Roland Poland - Week 8 Cuba

Mrs Xong, wife of  Roland Poland's benefactor, has decided that they all need some sunshine for half term holidays.  Cuba it is!

As always, Roland Poland throws himself fully into the holiday spirit.  He writes to his half-brother Malcolm,

Hi Malcolm,
Out on he town last night.  10 Cuba Libres and dancing with Miss Chihuahua.  Now I'm sober and realise she is just a "MOWLER" - oh the shame (again!) AND I've got a bad headache.

Here is the page I made for him in his Travel Book

The postcard was made using a brayer and stamps from Stampscapes, Stamps Happen and an image in the public domain.  The travel book page was made using stamps from Clarity and Stampin' Up.

Thank you for visiting us and for the kind comments you leave.  We do enjoy visiting you and seeing how your travels are going.

CD Sunday Challenge - Wine Buff

My stamp is by Stamps Happen and this has been stamped directly onto the backing paper and coloured with promarkers.  The backing paper is from Joanna Sheen's Secret Garden CD and is a nice linen texture.  The wine glass topper ( a freebie from someone called Rose)  has been decoupaged and mounted on foam pads.  The vine leaf is from a Cuttlebug die and has been run through a spotty embossing folder.

I hope you like my card.  I had great difficulty finding anything in my stash that was appropriate and has taken me two days to find this!

Thank you for stopping by and do feel free to leave a comment - I appreciate them all.

Rainbow Lady's Challenge #147 - Lilac Wine

I chose this stamp, by StampsHappen as it has a great sentiment. The image has been coloured with Promarkers and glittered with coloured Stickles for a bit of sparkle. It is simply mounted onto an embossed panel and then onto a piece of textured lilac card.

Thank you for stopping by and leave a comment if you like. They are all appreciated.

DragonsDream TIO#65 - Face the Music

My lovely stamp this week was a Christmas present from my crafty friend Jen and I have been waiting for an opportunity to use it. Thank you Frankie!

The stamp is by Stamps Happen and has been coloured with various distress inks and a water brush. I have had a very pleasant afternoon colouring in.

DragonsDream TIO#42 - Acetate and Alcohol

Where to start on this one ... ah yes - alcohol.

My stamp is called Finger Food by Stamps Happen. I bought this stamp on first sight as it made me laugh out loud. I love the fact that the lady is like one of Beryl Cook's larger ladies and that she is trying to be delicate and ladylike whilst scoffing all the cocktail olives and yet failing miserably.

The background is made with alcohol inks and the stamp has been embossed in white on acetate and fixed over the top. To finish off I have added an acetate heart and a few confetti foil glasses as a border. The sentiment is one that my lady should take to heart but usually ignores! The purple tinsel ribbon continues the party theme.
