<br />
Well, it's the 5th of the month and time for a challenge at <a href="http://sarahhurley365.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">SarahHurley365.</a> Our lovely Nicole has chosen the theme of Speech Bubbles - So get on your most fabulous thinking cap and get creating!!!!!!<br />
<br />
For my project, I really wanted to do something different so I have made a backpack! I used papers from <a href="http://www.sarahhurleydesigns.co.uk/oldshop/prod_2584761-A-Few-of-My-Favourite-Things-Volume-One-8-x-8-Paper-Collection-by-Sarah-Hurley.html" target="_blank">A Few Of My Favourite Things Volume 1 Paper Pack</a> and the speech bubble badge from <a href="http://www.sarahhurleydesigns.co.uk/oldshop/prod_2456280-Retro-1-Flair-Pin-Badges-Buttons.html" target="_blank">Sarah's Retro Badge Set.</a> I was inspired by my school days when it was the done thing to have loads of badges on your school bag.<br />

"Hello <a href="http://www.creativemakings.co.uk/">Claire N</a> here with February's challenge. It's my first time at hosting this challenge, and I would like you to choose just one shape and roll with it........by this I mean choose just one shape and use it as the main focus of all your embellishments. As it's valentine's this month, this theme is perfect for all your heart themed cards. But equally I think any shape, whether simple or complex will be effective, so have fun !"<br />
<br />
As always, there are some brilliant prizes for the winner of this challenge, plus two runner up prizes, so get your entries in ASAP!! (Although, you have until 28th February to enter!!)<br />

Using Serif, I played around with elements from <a href="http://www.sarahhurleydesigns.co.uk/oldshop/prod_3094169-A-Few-of-My-Favourite-Things-January-Printable-Documented365-Kit.html" target="_blank">January's A Few Of My Favourite Things Printabble Documented 365 Kit</a>, to give my chosen image a border. I printed a sheet of the same colour as the border and punched out some tiny hearts, which have been mounted on 3D foam to give my card dimension. And you know I can't resist a bit of glitter!!!<br />

<br />
I hope you're all enjoying the new and exciting Blog, here with us. It's so nice to have a little cheeryness even though it's a bit grey outside.<br />
<br />
I think sometimes, we all feel as if we need to use fancy shapes to make a card, and our poor basic shapes are a bit neglected (all together now, ahhhhhhh!). So, I though I would try and make something using plain old circles, but with a different perspective. <br />
<br />
I have been a little bit inspired by the wet weather too, and felt compelled to use the <a href="http://www.sarahhurleydesigns.co.uk/oldshop/prod_2456729-Britannia-Craft-CD-Instant-Download-Option.html" target="_blank">umbrella paper from the Brittannia Kit</a> ;)<br />
<br />
I printed a few different patterns and cut different sized circles from each, so I'd have a selection. I then layed them out over the umbrella paper, until I was happy with the layout. Some are stuck down flat, but on others, I used foam pads to give them dimension. A bit of ribbon and a few "Zazzy" Big Bang Theory Fans will know) stickers, and I think you've got quite a pretty little card.<br />

<br />
I'm really excited as this is my first post for the brand new <a href="http://sarahhurley365.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">Sarah Hurley 365 Blog</a><br />
<br />
I've decided to Try Something Different.<br />
<br />
As a crafter, usually cards, I sometimes find that I use the same techniques - but I really wanted to try something I hadn't done before.<br />
<br />
I like the idea of finding other uses for things and experimenting with them. So today, I thought I'd play with some toilet paper!!!!! ;)<br />
<br />
<br />
Head on over to the <a href="http://sarahhurley365.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">Blog</a> to find out how I've made this.<br />
<br />

As Clare mentioned in her previous winners post, we have some exciting news to share with you! The Sarah Hurley Challenge Blog is changing! We have a fresh start for 2014 with lots more features for you and we can't wait to get started. <a href="http://sarahhurley365.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">Click here to see what's new :D</a><br />
<br />
Our first challenge for the new year is Thank You, and here's Jaine to explain all:<br />
<br />
"Since Christmas and the New Year festivities are now over, it seems we all have something to be thankful for. It may be a thank you for the present, thank you for having us or simply a show of thankfulness for having got through Christmas without gaining much weight! (that's not me by the way). So it's right that we show our thanks in this first challenge."<br />
<br />
Thanks Jaine - Here is my Thank You Challenge entry:<br />

I have used papers from <a href="http://www.sarahhurleydesigns.co.uk/oldshop/prod_2990063-The-Most-Wonderful-Time-Digi-Scrapbooking-Craft-Kit.html" target="_blank">The Most Wonderful Time Digi Kit</a> to make my card, and used the Memory Box Circle Burst Die, which was a Christmas gift from my lovely friend Pam.<br />
<br />
We really hope to see lots more of you and your lovely creations this year, so please spread the word!!!!!Jessicahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09101492405689763648noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7641857446437693512.post-46852874926211710612013-12-09T13:52:00.002+00:002013-12-09T13:53:39.866+00:00Hello Bloggers!!!Goodness me, what a busy morning here at JessiCards Towers! It's been non stop cake baking and decorating. 20 mini Christmas cakes marzipanned and 3 more bigger Christmas cakes baked. The house smells glorious!!!<br />
<br />
I've got a couple more cards to show you, which I made using <a href="http://www.sarahhurleydesigns.co.uk/sarahhurleyshop.html" target="_blank">Sarah Hurley's</a> brand new digi collection <a href="http://www.sarahhurleydesigns.co.uk/oldshop/prod_2990063-The-Most-Wonderful-Time-Digi-Scrapbooking-Craft-Kit.html" target="_blank">The Most Wonderful Time</a>.<br />
<br />
For each card, I made my stripey backgrounds using the lines stamp from <a href="http://www.sarahhurleydesigns.co.uk/oldshop/prod_2891505-Doodle-Doll-Halloween-Edition-Witch-Girl-Stamps-by-Sarah-Hurley.html" target="_blank">Sarah's Halloween Doodle Doll Set</a> and heat embossed with different colours. I used the super cute Rudy and Hot Chocolate embellishments as the main images for my cards.<br />

I have created my background by using Sarah's <a href="http://www.sarahhurleydesigns.co.uk/oldshop/prod_2584800-6-x-6-Hexagon-Mask-Stencil-Template.html" target="_blank">6x6 Hexagon Mask</a>. I covered the mask with Versamark and ran it through my Grand Calibur to emboss. I heat embossed with clear embossing powder and then stamped the book print stamp from the <a href="http://www.sarahhurleydesigns.co.uk/oldshop/prod_2539876-Mini-Textures-Stamps.html" target="_blank">Mini Textures Stamp Set</a>, die cut a shape, and sponged some ink over it. I used the book print stamp again on the from of the card but this time in white ink. I printed some embellishments from Sarah's brand new digi kit <a href="http://www.sarahhurleydesigns.co.uk/oldshop/prod_2990063-The-Most-Wonderful-Time-Digi-Scrapbooking-Craft-Kit.html" target="_blank">The Most Wonderful Time</a> to add to my card. </div>

I was still feeling the Halloween vibe as I created my Challenge entry so I have used <a href="http://www.sarahhurleydesigns.co.uk/oldshop/prod_2891505-Doodle-Doll-Halloween-Edition-Witch-Girl-Stamps-by-Sarah-Hurley.html" target="_blank">Sarah's Halloween Edition Doodle Doll Stamp Set.</a> I used the triple stripe stamp to create the checked background, which have been heat embossed. Together with the crackle background using the</div>

<a href="http://www.sarahhurleydesigns.co.uk/oldshop/prod_2539876-Mini-Textures-Stamps.html" target="_blank">Mini Textures Stamp Set</a>. I stamped the Doodle Witch twice and paper pieced her hat and dress. I thought the red and purple combo was good and bright!! I hope Sharon approves.</div>

The lovely Miss Hurley has been a very busy little bee of late, and has lots and lots, oh, and lots of new exciting things up and coming, so keep a look out on her Blog and website.<br />
<br />
We, Hurley Girlies, have had great fun creating some spooky projects for you, and we really hope you join in. We had a huge response to the Autumn Glow Challenge, and we're hoping to beat that number with Halloween.<br />
<br />
I have used the very new <a href="http://www.sarahhurleydesigns.co.uk/oldshop/prod_2858680-31-Spook-Street-Digi-Scrapbooking-Craft-Kit.html" target="_blank">31 Spook Street Digi Kit</a> to make my card. I printed and cut out the little ghosties plus a Boooo! I printed the spider's web onto black card, then drew over it with a glue pen and used glitter to make it lovely and sparkly. I then arranged my drawers (oooh errrr!) around the ghosts!!!<br />
<br />
Hope you like it gang. Don't forget to visit all the Hurley Girlies' Blog for some more inspiration.<br />

Hi All,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Time for a challenge with the lovely (and very busy at the moment!!) <a href="http://sarahhurleychallenges.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">Sarah Hurley.</a> Keep your eyes peeled, not only for our challenges, but also some very new and even more exciting news and products.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's my turn to choose this month's challenge and I decided on Autumn Glow.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love this time of year, still hanging on to the warm sunny days of summer but that lovely feeling as the leaves begin to change and show off their golden tones.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Whatever your Autumnal inspiration is - we want to see your creations!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thank you so much for visiting and joining in our fabulous Challenge. Don't forget to have a look around all of the DT's Blogs for some amazing inspiration.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For my Autumn Glow project, I've used papers from the <a href="http://www.sarahhurleydesigns.co.uk/oldshop/prod_2456410-Farmers-Market-Autumn-Fall-Themed-Digital-Hybrid-Scrapbooking-Craft-Kit.html" target="_blank">Farmers Market</a> and <a href="http://www.sarahhurleydesigns.co.uk/oldshop/prod_2457989-Scrap-Basics-Digital-Paper-Kit-Polkadot-Earthtones.html" target="_blank">Scrap Basics Earth Tone Polka Dots</a> Digital Kits to make my sun-ray background. I've then punched leaves in the same papers to create an Autumn Wreath. I've added die cut shapes and ribbon too.</div>

<br />
Hope you are all well, happy and enjoying the fantastic summer!!! I can't believe we are into August already - how did that happen??!!<br />
<br />

Here are a few words from Claire explaining all:<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #0b5394;">It's Claireliz here bringing you this month's challenge which is:</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
I have to say, I was a little bit nervous of this project, as I don't really use texture pastes and things like that (yet!!), so I played a bit safe and used my card itself as the dimensional part of the challenge.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I printed papers and embellies from the <a href="http://www.sarahhurleydesigns.co.uk/oldshop/prod_2621018-Gatsby-Digi-Scrapbooking-Craft-Kit.html" target="_blank">Gatsby Digi Kit</a> to decorate my card, and to add some texture, I pleated a strip of paper and created a rosette and decorated with a flower and some gems.</div>

Firstly, I bring good news about our lovely Sarah Hurley Design Team - we have a newbie!!!! The very talented <a href="http://manxmade.blogspot.co.uk/2013/07/new-butterflies-with-sarah-hurley.html" target="_blank">Tania</a> has been Guest Designer for a few months, but we just couldn't do without her so she has joined us permanently. <br />
<br />
Well, challenge time is here again in <a href="http://sarahhurleychallenges.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">Sarah Hurley</a> Land. And this month's fabulous theme, chosen by Geraldine, is Pink Sparkles. The results from my fellow teamies are brilliant, so pop over to the <a href="http://sarahhurleychallenges.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">Challenge Blog</a> for a nosey, and maybe enter yourself.<br />
<br />
Here is my Pink Sparkles creation:<br />

Hello Crafters</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Welcome to JessiCards and the <a href="http://www.sparklingblackrose-craftmylife.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">All Crafts Challenge Blog Hop</a> which is celebrating all crafts outside of card making.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If all is going to plan, you will have just been to the lovely <a href="http://curlylockspicsandpieces.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">Claire's Blog,</a> and she has directed you here, to me!! If for any reason you've got lost - head on back to the <a href="http://www.sparklingblackrose-craftmylife.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">start</a>!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is my creation for the Challenge - a decorative plaque. I started by covering some chipboard with paper from Sarah Hurley's <a href="http://www.sarahhurleydesigns.co.uk/oldshop/prod_2523749-All-Sewn-Up-A5-Paper-Pack.html" target="_blank">All Sewn Up Paper Pack,</a> then heat embossed the edges with the crackle stamp from <a href="http://www.sarahhurleydesigns.co.uk/oldshop/prod_2539876-Mini-Textures-Stamps.html" target="_blank">Mini Textures Stamps</a>. I created a frame from chipboard and covered it with gilding flakes, from which I have suspended a star charm. I've used dies to cut the letters and added a star gem too.</div>

<br />
I thought I'd get a quick Blog post in before work and the weekend takes over!! Last time I shared with you Volume 3 of Sarah Hurley's LookBook, which you can find <a href="http://issuu.com/sarah_hurley/docs/sarah_hurley_lookbook_issue_3/1" target="_blank">here.</a> One of my projects for the LookBook was a set of two cards using Sarah's fantastic new <a href="http://www.sarahhurleydesigns.co.uk/oldshop/cat_728511-Gatsby.html" target="_blank">Gatsby Range.</a> <br />

I used one of the gorgeous embellishments as the shape of the card, and using Serif, layered some other images over the top. I cut out the two fabulous ladies and sentiments and decoupaged them on.<br />

The <a href="http://www.sarahhurleydesigns.co.uk/oldshop/cat_728511-Gatsby.html" target="_blank">Gatsby Range</a> is bang on trend at the moment, what with the new film and eveything.

I had great fun experimenting with Sarah's <a href="http://www.sarahhurleydesigns.co.uk/oldshop/prod_2539876-Mini-Textures-Stamps.html" target="_blank">Mini Texture Stamps</a> and <a href="http://www.sarahhurleydesigns.co.uk/oldshop/prod_2524214-Love-Marriage-Clear-Stamp-Set.html" target="_blank">Love and Marriage Stamp Set.</a> I used the text stamp to make my background and inked the edges to give it shade. I cut out 5 octagon shapes and used the crackle stamp and clear glaze. I made a topper using the text stamp again and the top hat from the Love and Marriage Stamp Set.<br />
<br />
There are lots more exciting releases from Sarah in the coming weeks so keep your eyes peeled for those.<br />
<br />
I'm pleased to say that issue 3 of Sarah's online magazine <a href="http://issuu.com/sarah_hurley/docs/sarah_hurley_lookbook_issue_3" target="_blank">LookBook</a> is now available. It's a collection of creations by all the Design Team, using Sarah's fantastic products.<br />

After much anticipation, today is the launch of Sarah Hurley and Phill Martin's joint venture, <a href="http://www.secretrosegarden.co.uk/" target="_blank">The Secret Rose Garden.</a> Here are a few words from them to explain all:<br />
<br />
"Today is the launch of Secret Rose Garden! and we want to thank each and every
one of you for your support and sharing in our excitement and this wonderful
journey we have started!<br /><br />As a thank you, every one who places an order
with us between todays launch and midnight Saturday will be entered into a draw
(picked Sunday) to win the first cards made by each of us using the new range
and signed by us. <br /><br />We hope you love the range, and will be sharing more
samples and inspiration from us and our design team over the coming days and
weeks!"<br /><br />Sarah & Phill xx <br />
<br />
I've had great fun playing with the Secret Rose Garden kit and here are my creations:<br />

<br />
I hope you are all well and enjoying the spring sunshine - it was glorious here this morning - positively tropical!!!<br />
<br />
I am happy to introduce to you a brand new, very lovely, really pretty, super cute digi kit from <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/SarahHurley" target="_blank">Sarah Hurley.</a> The kit is called all Sewn Up, and if you didn't guess from the title, it is a gorgeous collection of papers, digi stamps and embellishments all to do with sewing.<br />
<br />
Here's a quick card I've made using the kit:<br />

<br />
My how time flies - can you believe it's the end of February already!!!! So, as it's the end of the month, it must be time for a new challenge with the lovely <a href="http://sarahhurley.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">Sarah Hurley.</a> She has been a very busy lass of late, with her Create and Craft appearances and lots of lovely new crafty goodies in her <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/SarahHurley" target="_blank">shop.</a><br />
<br />
The response to the previous challenge has been amazing and we really hope you tag along for this one. The only request for this challenge is to recycle something. I really had trouble narrowing this <br />
one down - the possibilities are endless!!! <br />
<br />
Here is my project:<br />

I, eventually, managed to decide on a matchbox and turned it into a Memory Snapshot Box for keeping all those special little trinkets in.<br />
<br />
Thanks for looking.<br />
