Anyone for Tea!

Yes its teatime at the Colour Challenge over at the Outlawz!

Judith chose our wonderful picture of those scrummy macaroons from Betty's Teashop, if you don't know it google it, a truly wonderful place!

Now what a very tasty challenge this is! I could just devour those macaroons with a lovely cup of tea!

We have a fabulous sponsor this month

I got to use one of their lovely digis for this card

I found this wonderful teapot template on the net and shame on me I forgot to bookmark where I found it, I cut the teapot card from some sugar pink card then used some lovely green paper for the body of the pot. Some sparkly peach glitter card to mount the digi on - a cute gem for the knob of the lid and a little bow and there it is! I think I may have that template as an SVG file too and as I've just bought a portrait I might have to hunt for it!

Come on over to the Outlawz and join us in this great challenge - watch out for some more fun challenges in October, not only do we have another fab sponsor but we will be having a paaarrrtttyyy!!!

See you there with your cup of tea!

Make me Laugh!!!!

That's what I'd like you to do over at Digi Sketch challenge. This challenge is hosted by yours truly and as we have Bugaboo as our sponsor what other theme could I have had!

This is the sketch for this challenge

and this is what I came up with

Now anyone that has been in a relationship a long time will appreciate this stamp!!

I hope to see you over at Digi Sketch Challenge to join us in this fun challenge!

Pumpkins ...............

Hello everyone, a quick post from me today, having been ill for a while I'm trying to play catch up and this is one I definitely needed to get finished and posted!

I love these images from Gerda Steiner that you can get each month for playing in her challenge, how cute is this little one

Such a happy image and I thought would be great to send to a friend just to say hello!

So why not go over to Gerda's and join in the fun!

A Scottie Christmas

Hello crafty people and today I want to share my card for Penny's Paper Crafty.

Our theme this week is Spots and Stripes and we have two fabulous sponsors - Stampart Design and Fred She Said.

I got to play with a lovely image from Fred She Said

This digi is the coloured version, you get  both coloured and outline with this beauty so you can't go wrong!

We'd love to see you over at Penny's for this latest challenge!

Christmas Owls!

Happy Sunday people!

I've had a crafty day today (having a change from preserving!) and I've been catching up on all the projects that have been building on my desk!

This is this month's Christmas Progressive from DS4J, how cute is this!

I had some lovely matt gold square cards and thought that was perfect for the base, the paper is from Kaisercraft, die cut is a Signature die and I can't remember where I got the sentiment from! So why not join in over at DS4J and get a head start on those Christmas cards!

Snow Friends!

We have a new challenge at Penny's and this week we have the wonderful Kathryne from Stamp Art Design sponsoring the challenge - she jumped in at very short notice after another sponsor let us down - what a star!!

I am using one of the new releases from Stamp Art Design called Snow Friends

Our theme this week is to use embossing I did emboss the glittery card behind the snowman but the glitter seems to have masked it! I did also emboss the sentiment, phew!!
I used some gorgeous glitter for the pom pom and coloured the image with Copics.

Thanks for popping by and I do hope you will join us at Penny's Paper Crafty this week for the new challenge!
Don't forget you could win some sweet, sweet images from our lovely sponsor!

You've Been Framed!

Yep,his weeks that's what this week's twist is over at the Outlawz Colour Challenge. Lindsay picked the inspirational picture and twist this week and what fun is this

What gorgeous colours and such a fabulous twist!

I have used an image from our lovely sponsor, Fred She Said and this is what I made

This is one of my favourite digis from Fred She Said, I printed it out 4 times and coloured with Promarkers then cut it out and layered up to form the daisy, I cut the frame with a die from my collection then added a pretty teal bow with some bling!

We'd love to see your creations over at the Colour Challenge so why not come over and join in the fun - hope to see you you there!

Get Well Soon!

Good morning, how are you lovely people this morning? The weather here in the north of England is getting cooler and lots of coughs and colds are about!

The new challenge at Digi Sketch is hosted by the lovely Kelly and she obviously has lots of those coughs and colds about as she would like to see your Get Well cards!

We are sponsored this week by MelJen Designs and I got to play with this cutie

Poor little thing, he looks so poorly!

We also have a great sketch for you again this week so go on over to Digi Sketch Challenge and check it out - see you there!

A Stitch in Time!

Penny's new challenge would like to see your stitching, real or faux! We have Bugaboo as one of our sponsors this week and I got to use one of their great images

What a cute image! Coloured with Copics and Promarkers, the sentiment is hand written and heat embossed onto some brown card. I added some faux stitching to the image. I hope you will all come over and join us in this fun challenge at Penny's Paper Crafty!

Through the Eyes of a Tiger...............

We have a new exciting challenge starting at the Outlawz Colour Challenge and the inspirational picture was chosen by Penny this week

Isn't that a fabulous picture! You get to pick you other colours from the picture and add a twist!
This is what I came up with

I used the fabulous hibiscus digi from our sponsor this month - Fred She Said - coloured with Promarkers, the lush paper is from my stash and the tiger stripes are from my stash, coloured to match, apart from that I added some black lace to complete the exotic look!

Please come over and join us for this great challenge and see what the rest of the team have created!

Dragonfly Dreams!

The new challenge at Dragonfly Dreams has started and this month we would like to see your celebrations with jewels or pearls! We all have lots of celebrations, weddings, anniversaries, birthdays and lots more besides so if they've got bling on them we want to see them!
This month we have the lovely Digistamp4joy sponsoring us and we got a couple of their digis to play with

This one is called 'I Do' and is my favourite wedding image - I actually won it when it was first released and have used it so many times! For my background I have used some raspberry pearl card for the base and cut the pretty overlay on my Silhouette Portrait, I just got it and am having real fun playing! I then sprayed with adhesive and covered in glitter, shame it doesn't show too well it looks very pretty! The sentiment is stamped and heat embossed and the image is coloured with alcohol markers, I literally used all the brands I have on this one! Flowers are WOC.

This image is called Wedding Bouquet but could be used for various occasions, this card has been made for a 25th anniversary, again I played with the Portrait and cut the silver openwork heart then cut my image out using a heart shaped die, coloured with alcohol markers as above. The sentiment is hand written then heat embossed and also layered onto the lovely shiny silver that doesn't photograph at all well!

We'd love for you to join us for this challenge son come on over and show us your celebration cards!
Don't forget you can win a $10 GC too!

Light as a Feather!

The new challenge has started at Penny's and its that old favourite again - Anything Goes!!

We'd love to see you over at Penny's Paper Crafty  this week to join us in this new challenge and you stand a chance of winning some fabulous Lacy Sunshine digis!

I coloured the image with Promarkers and layered it up with some papers from my stash. The butterflies were cut from some green metallic paper with some gems added.

It's a Girl Thing!

We have a fabulous sponsor for the new challenge at Digi Sketch - All Dressed Up and they are perfect images for the theme of ' It's a Girl Thing'. We have a great sketch for you too!

I got to play with one of the fabulous images from All Dressed Up and this is what I came up with

I used the sketch and decided she had to be pink! I used some sugar pink pearl card as my base and used some lush papers from my stash, I added a little bling to finish off!

Well I hope you will come over and join us for this great new challenge - hope to see you over at Digi Sketch Challenge
