Christmas Cutie!

We have another challenge starting at Penny's and this week's theme is Children and or Christmas. I got to play with a lovely image from one of our sponsors Crafty Sentiments and this is what I made with it

The papers are from my stash, the sentiment is embossed onto matt gold card and all the layers have been matted onto matt gold card, I coloured the little lady with Copics and added some glittered Flowersoft to her muff and ear muffs

I hope you will come and join us in this cute challenge over at Penny's Paper Crafty - see you there!

Stripes!

This week's Colour Challenge was chosen by Ursula and she picked this amazing inspirational picture

For this week's challenge we would like you to pick three colours from the five shown and make a card, adding the twist of 'Add Stripes'.

For my project I have used an image from our lovely sponsor Bugaboo

I love this beautiful image and I tried my hand at digital colouring and I think it came out quite well! The stripey paper is from my stash and I cut the rainbow stripes from some card I found in my stash!

I hope you will join us this week for this great challenge!

Critters!

The new challenge at Penny's is all the C's - Children, Christmas or Critters!

I went with critters and used this cute digi from our sponsor Bugaboo

The background paper was from my stash, the image has been coloured with my usual mix of alcohol markers and the little paw die cuts are from a Joanna Sheen die!

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you will join us at Penny's Paper Crafty for this cute challenge this week!

Summer?

Well it seems to have left this part of the UK at the moment! But we would still like to see your summer projects at Digi Sketch Challenge. The new challenge is hosted by the lovely Stephanie and she wants to see some 'Summer Fun'!
Our sponsor for the challenge is Scribbles by Sandi and when I saw this image it said Summer to me load and clear!

I don't know about you but watermelon is a symbol of summer - there's nothing better on a hot day than sitting in the sun eating watermelon!

This is the sketch for the challenge

Shoes!

Well the Colour challenge at the Outlawz has a great colour palette this week picked by the lovely Lindsay

When I saw this I thought how luscious and rich these colours are! With that thought in mind I had the perfect digi from our wonderful sponsor Bugaboo and this is what I made

I think this is the perfect image for most women! Everyone seems to love shoes. I picked out two more of the lovely shades of brown and added some sparkle!

Another Christmas Card Done!

Yes I've finished this month's DS4J progressive Christmas card! This month has the cutest Santa drawn by the very clever JenLee

I coloured her with Promarkers and Copics, gave her some sparkle with some Cosmic Shimmer glitter. Isn't she just the cutest Santa! The sentiment is a stamp I have had forever that I inked and stamped the embossed with clear embossing powder, the papers are from my stash (can't remember whose they are!).
Thanks for stopping by and why not join in the DS4J Progressive Challenge yourself!

Pumpkin Boy!

This month's challenge at Gerda Steiner's features the super cute pumpkin boy! I found some super cute Halloween paper in one of my digi files, and used some purple star paper that I have had forever.

For a fun challenge where everyone's a winner why not join in at Gerda's, as long as you post the image each month you will keep getting another cutie to play with!

Eagle Days

Hello and welcome, today we have a new challenge at Penny's Paper Crafty and it's that old favourite again 'Anything Goes'.

We have two lovely sponsors this week - the Paper Shelter and Stamp Art Design.

I got to play with a lovely image from Stamp Art Design - Majestic Eagle Head

As it is such a manly image I made a card for a man from it using the wonderful papers that I won recently fro Docrafts.

I coloured the image with Promarkers. All the papers and buttons are from Docraft.

Please come over and join us at Penny's this week - we'd love to see you!

Fairies....

The new challenge at Digi Sketch has a fabulous theme hosted by Caz - Fairies!

I love fairies, I always think that they express our inner child - didn't we all go looking for the fairies at the bottom of the garden and how many of you still do!!

Our sponsor for this challenge is the wonderful Stitchy Bear Digi Outlet and I got to play with this brilliant digi by Barbara Jensen - Bird of Paradise

This is our sketch for this challenge and I hope you will be able to use it

This is what I came up with

I think she is lovely and a different fairy from the norm!

I do hope you will come over and join in this great challenge and bring your fairies to show us!

Hope to see you there!!

Sunflower Sprite

On the Aurora Wings Challenge Blog you will find this gorgeous sprite as a freebie!

I coloured it up with a mix of Promarkers and Copics and decided to make a shaped easel card to put my sprite on, I think it's really sweet!

Now I'm going to pop over and enter it into the Aurora Wings Challenge to use a Sprite!

Thanks for stopping by!

What Book Inspired You?

That is what we'd like to know this month at Dragonfly Dreams - we'd like you to tell us what book inspired you as a child or even a book you read to a child!


Our wonderful sponsor Stichy Bear Digi Outlet gave us some beautiful digis to work with. I chose Mad Hatter from BB Kakes. As a child I loved Alice in Wonderland  I read and reread that book until I could recite it, I think that's where I got my love of fantasy from. When I saw this image I knew what I wanted to do and it turned out reasonably how I imagined!

I coloured her with my usual mix of alcohol markers then cut her out using an oval cutter. The base card is red pearl, I found a free image site to get a pack of playing cards then printed out the pack and cut them all out, the Queen of Hearts I printed larger as she is quite symbolic in this story, courtesy of spray glue I then arranged my cards around Alice.

I hope you will all come over to Dragonfly Dreams and join us in this fun challenge - I hope to see you there!
