S for Stripes Alphabet challenge & Toddle and Binks

Good morning and I've got that Friday feeling again and I'm so looking forward to the weekend...  My hubby comes back home today after working away for the week, although its been nice to spend sometime with my daughter and do... well girlie things it will be nice to have him in doors home again.... 

Anyway on to our challenge over on 
and this week our letter is.. 

S for Stripes 
you can enter any project as long as some where it has stripes..
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Onto my inspiration for this weeks challenge over on Alphabet I decided to make a tag for a change as haven't make one of these for ages and thought it was about time..

I got out my Tags and Boxes cricut cartridge (another craft item that I don't use as often as I should) and  cut a 4 1/2 " rounded tag in shadow then cut the same tag in my stripy paper  but in normal mode so I ended up with a slightly smaller tag to layer..  

Copic Colours 
Amelie Rabbit 
E79, 77, 74, 71
T-shirt
R85, 83, 81
Sorry I can't remember what colour I used for the eggs
I used Worn lipstick distressing ink for the edges. 


Crafty Bits and Bobs

Range of Copic also from Stamp Galaxy 
Hand punched flowers, ribbon, gems and designer paper from stash

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

I would also like to share some news with you all..  Kay from Toddle and Binks  asked me a while ago if I would like to join her design team, and of course I said "yes".  Kay owns and runs the shop 

Here's a little about the company 

I have always been into crafts in one form or another, but for about the last 3 years the only thing that has got me through my long and boring day, working for a finance company has been dreaming that one day I would have my own craft store.
Well, that day has finally arrived, and I’ve just started trading on-line as Stamp Galaxy offering:-
• A collection of self-cling clear stamp designs, made by my very own stamp slave (Guy)
• Embossing powders, glitters, and other sticky and pearly things
• Cardstock and other bits of stash

I am passionate about my Company, my Customers and their levels of satisfaction. Tell me what you think! I welcome your thoughts, comments and suggestions.
At the moment I am only small, but I’m bursting with dreams and looking forward to putting these into action …
Its a fabulous shop and if you are into your copics as I am, Stamp Galaxy is the cheapest place I have found online to sell them..

Kay also has her very own stamp line called Toddle and Binks rubber stamps and has something for everyone...
