Patriotic Sassy!

Sassy Studio Design are giving away freebies every Thursday through July, yay!

This was the first freebie and by coincidence the Dare to be Sassy Challenge last Thursday was for Patriotic projects (being 4th July!).

So here's what I did with her

I coloured her with Promarkers and used some Stickles on the little stars on her top and hat. She has been mounted on metallic red card layered on white then metallic blue and just a few added stars!
Well that's all from me this evening - I might just get this entered under the wire!

Hope to see you soon!

Another Lovely Day - Ice Cream Anyone!

It's another lovely day here in the UK, We've had strawberries for Wimbledon now its time for ice cream!
Which leads me nicely onto this weeks challenge at Penny's Paper Crafty. This week's challenge is:

Think Pink!

 

I have used a digi from one of our sponsors, Digi My World for my card

 

 

I coloured the image with Promarkers and used some lovely ice cream paper from Nit Wit Collections. I also printed out two large pink cones to go behind the image.

 

He's a cute little Ice Cream vendor but he only sells pink ice cream, lol!

 

I hope to see you over at Penny's for this challenge and look forward to seeing all the lovely pink projects!

 

Thanks for stopping by and I hope to see you again soon!



Another Sunny Day!

Well we have anothe beautiful sunny day here in the UK and on this lovely sunny Tuesday let me introduce the new  Color challenge that has started over at the Outlawz.

This week I got to choose the colours and twist:

I love pink and yellow together, I do think that nature has a way of showing us some wow factor - we just don't always see it!

For my card I decided to do something a little different and this is what I can up with:

I used a leaf shaped die to cut out the leaves in the three colours the scored them with the leaf markings using an embossing tool. The background paper is from my stash and the sentiment was in a freebie set from one of the mags!

Very simple!

Thanks for stopping by and I hope we wee you over at the Outlawz for this new challenge!

 

See you all soon!

New Release Blog Hop for Scrappers Delight!

Time flies! Here we are again with another blog hop for Scrappers Delight. Janice, our lovely artist, has created some new digi's that will be available in her shop or from the Whimsy store.

For my card I have used this cute little Amelia School Girl

 

 

This would be a wonderful image for a little girl starting school this year - it could be coloured up with the school's colours and I think would be really cute! I coloured her up with Promarkers - the sentiment is my own and the papers are from my stash!

Now on to the Hop!

Penny's

Yes it's a new challenge over at Penny's Paper Crafty and this week's theme is Spots and Stripes!
We are being sponsored by Bugaboo and Stitchbear this week and my card features a digi from Stitchibear!

 

Now isn't she a beautiful fairy? I had a hunt through my stash and came up with the lush striped paper that I have used for the background and found all sorts of off cuts of spotty papers! I cut the flower vine behind the image with a Memory Box die and used a butterfly die (can't remember who's it is!) for the two big spotty butterflies. I punched out the tiny butterflies from pink and blue spotty paper, I added some blue gems to the large butterflies feelers! I used some glitter card to back the glam fairy!

 

 

I used Promarkers to colour the image.

 

Hope you like my fairy and why not join us over at Penny's for this great challenge - I hope to see you there!!

 

Thanks for stopping by and I hope to see you again soon!



What a Doll!

Its Tuesday and that means the Color Challenge at the Outlawz!

This week's inspirational picture was chosen by Ursula and what a lovely theme this week!

 

Now can't you think of lots of lovely girlie cards you could make with those colours!

 

For my card I chose an image by Lacy Sunshine, I so love Heather Valentin's work. I used some pink paper from my stash and some gorgeous wide burgundy ribbon and some pretty ivory lace. The flowers were from the fabulous parcel I received from Jacque when I won her weekly candy a few week's ago! How lucky was I!!!

 

 

I coloured her with Promarkers as ever and that's my li'l ballerina!

 

I hope you will join us over at the Outlawz I look forward to seeing you there!

Thanks for stopping by and I hope to see you again soon! 



There's a New Kid on the Block!

And it is Altered Eclectic!

 

I'm sure by now you all know I'm on the DT of Eclectic Ellapu. Elaine our beloved leader and owner who many of you will know creates the most wonderful altered art, decided to start a challenge purely for altered art and she let me tag along!

 

The new challenge is called..............Altered Eclectics and this is the first challenge! Yay!!

 

The challenges will run monthly and are always Anything Goes - any altered art project is welcome but we do not want cards, ATC's or scrapbook pages as there are plenty of those already. So all you lovely people who enjoy giving a new life to an old object - come and join us!

 

My project for this month is a Shadowbox for a baby! I had an apprentice working in my office who was very good but unfortunately, she decided to have a baby and has left to have her little one! We knew it was a boy and what his name is and I am pleased to say he made his presence known last Friday, 10 days late and a whopping 9lb 14oz - Mum and baby are doing well!

 

 

The shadowbox I got courtesy of our lovely Elaine, I ordered some from a site that has now closed and they seemed to go into meltdown before they processed my order!

The outside is covered with some white duct tape that has been embossed and covered with some pale blue acrylic paint then buffed off. The letters are some I had in my stash along with the teddies, I made them from some lightweight non firing clay and I painted them all with metallic blue acrylic. I line the sections with some of the duct tape covered with lace.

 

 

 

I used some wooden butterflies that have been glittered and varnished. The front is finished with some fine blue satin ribbon, the back has been covered with some blue gingham and some ginham ribbons were added to hang it from.

 

I hope you like my little shadowbox and I would love to see you over at Altered Eclectics for our very first challenge!

 

Thanks for stopping by and I hope to see you again soon!
