Butterfly!

This week at the Outlawz we have the most gorgeous colours that were chosen by Ursula and the twist is anything but square!

What a beautiful garden and what fabulous colours!

So you think Anything but Square, that's easy, it can be oblong, round oval simples! But...... I had this amazing digi from Anji's Antics I wanted to use as she is our sponsor this month and such a gifted artist! The image I wanted to use was a freebie on her blog (there's a freebie most days) and I fell in love with it, the butterfly baby. So I thought I'd like to make a butterfly card for my butterfly baby and set off in search of a template. I did find what I was looking for and me bad, I forget where I found it but it was free on someones blog and I'm sooooo sorry I can't give the designer her due!

Now isn't that just the cutest baby! I love the template, it was a bit fiddly to cut but well worth the effort. I added some yellow glitter around the edge of the yellow butterfly and some pretty green gems.

I hope you like my little baby and do check out Anji's - I love her blog she has some really great stuff on it! If you miss a freebie that you really want you can go to her shop and buy it, so I do hope you'll check her out and I really hope you will join us on the Color Challenge this week with these scrummy colours - I can't wait to see what you come up with so see you there!
Thanks for stopping by and I hope to see you again soon!

Trick or Treat!

It's October and that means Halloween. Now in the UK we have Bonfire Night but Halloween is getting a big following now so I need to get some cards ready for the occasion!

Gerda Steiner has a wonderful freebie to use for her latest challenge and I think it will become a Halloween must have!

Now that has to be the cutest Halloween image ever! I coloured it up using Promarkers, the words have been treated with some gloss. I cut around the cat and added the moon behind it then just mounted onto a black card - so simple but so effective! I do hope you'll all join in this fun challenge at Gerda's - it really is a win win situation - you get the image free and if you win you get some more of her cute digis - what are you waiting for!

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

Party!!

Today at Penny's the new challenge is anything but square - that's nice and easy!
Our sponsors this week are the lovely Kathryne at Stamp Art Design and Kenny K.
I got to play with a Kenny K image and I love it!

I decided to make an oval easel card from gold mirri card. I cut the glasses out using an old Sizzix die then I coloured them and used some glossy accent to make them shine!
I coloured the cute image with Promarkers and cut her out. I added some turquoise shiny letters for the sentiment and thats it!

I actually made this for a friends birthday which is tomorrow - so I hope she likes it!

I hope we see all your non square projects over at Penny's Paper Crafty this week, I'm looking forward to seeing what you come up with!

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

Autumn Leaves!

Are you ready for the big sweep? Yep it's that time of year when you spend every minute sweeping leaves of the path! I do love the colours of autumn but not the mess, lol!!

Tuesday means the Color Challenge at the Outlawz and this week it is my turn to host the challenge, here's my picture and twist

 now aren't they just the colours of autumn!

This month we have a new sponsor and it is Anji's Antics. Anji draws some amazing images and is also very generous having freebies on her blog every day. She drew us some fab images to play with and this is one of them - perfect for autumn!

I coloured the image with Promarkers and used a pearlised red as my base card layered up with some orange card run through an embossing folder. The leaves are punched out using various autumnal colours and the sentiment is my own and mounted onto some cuts of raffia (straw).

I hope we will see you over at the Outlawz this week to join in this challenge, I'd love to see you there!

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

Autumn!

This week the Pink team are hosting the challenge at Eclectic Ellapu and the theme chosen by Elaine was:

Celebrate Autumn (Fall)

I don't know about you but I love Autumn, I love to go for walks when the leaves are falling and you get that great colour and crunch beneath your feet. Autumn to me is always the forerunner to Christmas and the celebrations to come.

For my card I have used a cute image from QKR Stampede

Isn't he just adorable, I coloured him with a mixture of Promarkers, Flexmarkers and Spectrum Noir markers. I've mounted him on a mix of mulberry papers and added a little raffia bundle and a leaf gem.

I hope you're all playing the treasure hunt each day and gathering those little treasures you can't win it if you're not in it! So much treasure to find, woohoo!

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

Friends!

Hello, the new challenge has started at Penny's Paper Crafty and this week is everyone's favourite

Anything Goes!

We have two great sponsors this week Penny Blossom Stamps and Bugaboo.

For my car I have used a Bugaboo image

Such a great image to send to a friend! I coloured the iamge using Promarkers and added some paper from Nit Wits for the base layer and some nice mulberry papers that I have torn for the matting, the image has been torn and matted. I used some letters that are a perfect match for the sentiment 'friends' down the right hand side and the lovely wooden flourish is one that came from the candy I won at Jacques Joie de Livre!

I also added a heart made from some pink bling!

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you will join us at Penny's this week - see you there!

The Sun Has Got His Hat On!

Tuesday's here again and it's the Color Challenge at the Outlawz. Today's inspirational picture and twist was chosen by Roxann:

It's also a new month and new month means new sponsor and this month we have the wonderful Anji's Antics, she is such a clever artist!

Many years ago when my baby boy was at nursery they were learning that little song, The sun has got his hat on, hip hip hip hooray! He practised it and practised it (drove me mad!). It was pouring with rain and He was all dressed up in his sou'wester and wellies ready to go out with me, then I had to do something before we left and I looked round and there he was in the garden with a gold umbrella marching up and down singing at the top of his voice, the sun has got his hat on! I cherish that memory it was so sweet and when I saw this image it brought it straight back to me!

Isn't that just adorable! I coloured the image with Promarkers and teamed it up with some turquoise paper on a red base card. The flowers were coloured to match and the sentiment is computer generated!

Hope you'll come over and join us at the Outlawz for this lovely colour pallette, you have to see what the DT have come up with! See you there!

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