I used Crafty Individuals stamps for this tag. I do like this lady's swim suit, just right for most English summer days! She is stamped in DI Rusty Hinge on a background of Faded Jeans, Wild Honey and Vintage photo. The post mark is also stamped in Rusty Hinge and is covered with an acetate bubble.
A time to celebrate. My scrapbook page was designed in CA using "American Holidays" digikit. The lovely lady is from The Graphics Fairy. This challenge over at Rainbow Lady's challenge blog is being sponsored by the wonderful Crafty Individuals so for your chance to win some of their lovely goodies head over to the blog and let us have your entry.
My mixed bouquet is a stamp from Chocolate Baroque which I coloured using Promarkers and glittered in places. The mat was cut with Martha Stewart punch. My background paper is from the CD Pattern Sourcebook Nature. I edged the card with ribbon threaded through an Anna Griffin punch and a strip of lace. 
My tag this week is inspired by all those women, mostly unknown, who try to follow their dream despite the odds. The stamp is "Place The Face" by Hampton Art stamps. The faces were coloured with Promarkers then masked and over stamped with a writing stamp by Marion Emberson, using a Colour Box chalk inkpad - Blossom Pastels. The grey from this set was used to distress the edges of the tag. The pieces of film strip and the pearl are Tim Holtz and the words from Making Memories.
For this week's challenge I have used Hobby Art stamps, coloured with Promarkers, to create my background scene. The princess playing out front is a digi from Marisha who is kindly sponsoring the challenge this week.
Tassels, precious things, so I decided on a bookmark so someone could keep it. My CD is Joanna Sheen's Ivory Cats for the card and the bookmark. The cat is from the shaped card section but I cut it out and used it flat on a card base and slightly decoupaged the top layer so as to form a pocket to hold the bookmark.
Been having a play in CA again, this time I wanted a pretty feminine page for my Great Grandma. She was my Mum's Grandma and died aged 96 when I was 5 but I remember her as a very sweet kind old lady and this is my only photograph of her. The kit is from Monika Designs and can be found on Windflower scraps. The kit is called "In Times Past".
The Mathematician in me, I used to teach Maths, could not resist the wonderful number Pi. A fascinating number and the game goes on to find the next decimal place. A computer chugs away somewhere in the world doing the calculation and Pi which is a non repeating decimal which never ends has millions of digits. I added a few to my tag. I love that in Maths it is called an irrational, transcendental number. Enough, my tag I kept black and white. I cut Pi and its symbol in Craft robo, Zentangled them and embossed the edges in black. The background is printed and stamped. Had to print Pi! and stamped my calculating machine and head. The stamps are from Avant-Garde #1 from A Stamp in the Hand Co. I added some stamped circles and distressed with Black Soot. Hope you can feel my enthusiasm for Pi. Thanks for looking, any comments you leave are greatly appreciated.

Bought a new kit from Pam Lefors called Cinnamon Latte and could not resist a play. This is Piggy, proper name Dani, our 16 year old pussy cat. looking very regal I think.
My tag is made from ice white pearl card. The stamp is Something Old- Something New from Stamps Happen. I embossed top and bottom with TH music folder and added two rows of sheer white ribbon dotted with silver. I used stickles in the appropriate colour, gold, pearl and blue on the stamp. Finally I added a rose made in the Crafty Notions mould with white air dry clay and glittered lightly.
Helen at A Crafty Kind of Truffle passed this award onto me today. Chuffed to be thought a good blogger.
The blame, sorry inspiration for this one rests with my friend Janet. After seeing her entry I went to my digis to check whether or not I had the freebie she flagged up and found this one. I could not resist even though it is more "do we fit the shoe" than "If the shoe fits".
Decide to play with airplanes this week. I stamped and clear embossed the world from Creative Expressions Travel stamp set onto silk art card. I swirled this on a mixture of DIs mainly Crushed Olive, Spiced Marmalade and Tumbled Glass. I had previously made the world stamp in UTEE in the melt pot and I used a piece to cover part of the background scene. I stamped the two planes, stamps from Artemio and Habico, in DI onto the background. My jigsaw pieces are crackled and the planes stamped on top with Stazon, then distressed with spiced marmalade. The "explore" is from K & Co and has been in my stash for years.
Pam's latest challenge is to use her digi kit called Slightly Romantic. Seemed a good chance to us a rare photo of John and I, he is usually behind the lens. This was taken in Cornwall last year. I made my own digi kit in Craft Artist with Pam's papers and embellishments and designed the page there.
