Itty Bitty stamps and Gelli!

I've been joining it at Unity Show and Tell, Itty Bitty a day challenge. You don't need to have lots of Unity Itty Bitty stamps, you can make lots of versions with the ones you have. I managed to buy a couple on ebay, and this is the first one. I cut out the cupcakes and mounted them in squares, I used pink and red alternating colour scheme, I don't normally put those two together. Cakes coloured with Promarkers and Trias. Die cut with Spellbinders Nestabilities. I added Stickles to the frosting and cherry.

I have entered the following challenges:

The second Itty Bitty is called Bubble Tree, I wanted to make it bright and bubblegum coloured. I had a card blank that I had inked with Distress markers that it looked good on. Promarkers and Trias used to colour the image, and it was die cut with Spellbinders deckled rectangles. Ribbon from Crafty Ribbons.

Finally, I spent my Craft Barn voucher on a Gelli Plate, and I had some Unity stamps arrive, I bought them in January, the first ones never got here and I only recently reported it to Unity who very kindly replaced my order and sent a free Itty Bitty! Very Happy Post!
I have a lot to do now, The Alpha Challenge, I only have tomorrow left to enter, a new Quirky Challenge project to make and stuff to do to the blog post, like add linky and guest designers photos, links and descriptions, vote for winners, one last Itty Bitty entry, and after all of that I might get to play with my new stash!

WOYWW #213

It is WOYWW and that means it is the day you can share your desk with over 100 other people and go round and have a nosy at their desks, or some of them anyway! So if you want to join in hop over to The Stamping Ground and see what it is all about!
 Desk, tidier this time, and flip flop cards in progress for a stall I am having at a fete on Sunday in Devizes which is seaside themed. I moved the trimmer to the desk.
 The trimmer spot is full of stuff that was on the desk. The WR Memory keepers enveloper has been using and it is so easy to make an envelope, I used most of a 12" x 12" sheet to make a pretty small envelope to fit the flip flop cards, so goodness knows what size you need to make a big one!
 View from the other end.I got a heap of stamp sets out that might suit the flip flop cards. I want to cut out some funky foam tops for some of them and the eBosser won't do it, I can't make the sandwich right, I probably need a spare set of plates to try it but I will try something else first but in the meantime I will have to get the Big Shot out to do it.


 Baskets and containers I am getting ready for the fete, oh and the bin. I have been so busy doing notices and pricing stuff, and I keep finding more stuff to sell, and having to look up prices. I want to make cards too, but with so much to get ready it is taking second place! I really want to clear out stash I don't think I will ever use and those things I have managed to duplicate, and I am not sure if the fete will be the right place but I can try.

 My first strawberry, I have waited for a long time for this to go red, so I had to take a photo or three, and it is a whopper, or was, I ate it!

I have to go out so will write more later and add the links etc. Just wanted to grab a spot!
