ICS #41

Hiya and its challenge #41 at ICS this week, Dawn has provided us with another great sketch, you can do want you want wth it as usual, this week I've turned it on its side.


We have been sponsered this week by Digistamp Boutique They have the most amazing images to choose from,( i know because they gave us all an image to make our DT cards with and it took me over an hour to decide which one.lol) the winner this week gets a gift coupon for $15.00 dollars , so what are you waiting for.

The image I chose was Becky at Christmas,isn't she just adorable, perfect for a teenage girl I thought, I just resized her in photoshop and printed her off, (if you print your image off the day before you need it, you can use your copics and the ink wont bleed from your printer, or you could heat set it if your in a hurry,) I glittered the baubles and fairy wings, then matted with me nesties. Thanks to everyone that played with us last week. Hope you have fun .

Hugs Debs

Scene

Evening, hope you've had a good Monday, I've managed a card tonight, not the sort of card I usually do, but I think it does you good to try something different, I've had this art kure stamp for about 5 years and hardly used it , Stamp with fun wanted a scene so I thought I might dig it out, I used the gorgeous sketch from Cupcake, Pile it on wanted a Thank you card and Pink elephant wanted brown, yellow, neutral and 1 other my other was deep pink.

I used K&Co papers, bazill basics, prima flowers, walnut ink and a rub on.

Tomorrow we are going to the Humber bridge after work to pick my mil up shes been staying with her daughter in York for a few days.

Pinky

Evening , really getting on well with my Christmas cards now, been quite busy making domino brooches for the hospice to sell, so my challenges have been a bit thin on the ground.

This card covers 4 challenges, havn't managed to combine for ages. I used the wonderful sketch over at Cupcake Crafts, Daring asked for our favorite things some of mine are on this card, Sugar Nellie stamp, glitter and gems, Creative Card Crew wanted snowflakes, Simon Says asked for all that sparkles, bit difficult to see in this photo but the gems and glitter really sparkle. I've also used K&Co papers , cuttlebug embossing, copics and a bit of lace.
MIL tomorrow so I wont be back until Friday, thought I might do a stew and dumplings for her as it feels like winters on its way.
Ohh I nearly forgot I won 9 Pollycraft images in their blog hop, they are brilliant. Will try and find time to play at the weekend.

Sunday Sketch

Evening, I hope you have had a good weekend, why do they go so quick, even when we get an extra hour, I loved my last card so much I thought I'd do it again in another colour.

This time I used Ger's sketch from SS&Stamp, itsa lovely sketch and if you like circular cards it would work for one of those , I'm not that brill at cutting cards so I chickened out and used a Square card and stuck a circle to that. The stamp is Herb from WOJ coloured with copics and glittered, Bazill basics lilac card and the papers was a pressy so not sure where they came from, pearls on a string and three stick on pearlsfinish it off,

Bluesman

Hiya, sorry about this photo I'm not sure what I've done wrong, must have the shakes.lol. but I think you get the jist. I've used my Herb stamp coloured with the copics and then glittered , this paper was given me so not quite sure what make they are, also used bazill bling in blue and a few pearls.

I've used Debbies great sketch over on A spoonfull of sugar, the DT cards are amazing.

Got to run I'm on my coffee break.

Miss Santa

Hiya, another gloomy day here its rained non stop all day, we had some deliveries to do but darn't risk it in this weather, when I was a little girl and it was raining really heavy my Mum used to call it a colouring book day, thats how I feel tonight colouring my image with the rain beating on my window.lol.

This is a sugar nellie stamp coloured with me copics and a bit of glamour dust, papers are papermania, they are supposed to be Christmas but more than half of them have nothing Christmassy on them atall which is great as I can use them all year round. Cut out with my nestie and the snowflakes are cuttlebug dies on glitter card. I used the sketch on Create 4 fun it was a great one to use and i will definately be using it again. The dt sketches are brill.

Evening, hope you've all had a good day, its mighty cold here today think I'm going to have to give in and find my socks, I hate wearing anything on my feet but they are cold today.
It's our Wedding Anniversary on Thursday , we will have been married for thirtytwo years so were off to my favorite Italian for dinner,mmmmm
This is the card I've made my hubby,

I've used the Penny Black sketch this week as it fits my image a treat. I stamped the four litte hedgehogs in a row and coloured them with my copics, used bazill bling card and HOTP papers, embossed the circle with a cuttlebug folder and that was it, quite a quick card the longest bit for me is choosing which DP to use, I always forget what papers I have which is sometimes a good thing as I get a nice surprise when I find something I havn't seen for a while. lol. I really must start using some of my papers instead of just stroking them,lol, Should be back tomorrow all being well, take care.

ICS #39

Hi there another week already, I actually saw a house with Christmas lights up at the weekend, I couldn't believe it

Here is Dawns gorgeous sketch, remember you can flip,twist, mirror it anything really as long as the sketch is there somewhere.

We are generously being sponsored this week by Doodle Palace Store please pop over and see what they have its an amazing site.

I had never used a digi stamp before and I must say I was a bit nervous, I really didn't need to worry, it was so easy, just download the image, and this is the best bit, you choose what size you want the image to be, you can print off as many copies as you want.I printed 2 as I wanted to 3D the cake feet and head.




I chose this adorable dragon with icing all round her mouth.



I coloured her with my copics, glittered the icing on the cake and round the mouth, I used HOTP papers, little gems, the flowers are made with EK and crafts too punch's, mounting with nesties and bazill basics, a couple of charms, brads and bead caps to finish it off.

I must say I am really pleased with it and will certainly be getting some more of these digi's.

I hope you will all join in with the ICS challenge this week and take a look at all the amazing cards the other design team have made also using Doodle Palace digi's.

Take Care.
Hugs Debs

Hi there, hope you've had a good day, I had a nice surprise tonight, my brother lives in Belgium and he phoned for a chat and to tell me that he's going to visit in a few weeks, yippee, I only get to see him about six times a year so I have to make the most of his visits.
I love this stamp from sugar nellie, so cute, I coloured it with copics and glitter matted with nesties, punched with Martha Stewart, and cuttle bug, ribbon from stash, I made my own backing paper using white Bazill bling and stamped Debbi Moore snowflakes randomly with blue brillance, I also used pale blue bazill bling for matting and also for the snowflakes which I also glittered.
I used the great Sketch from Sunday sketch and stamp, also Stampavie wanted a Christmas card.
The DT cards on both of these challenges are totally amazing.
See you tomorrow for the new ICS challenge,

ICS #38

Hi everyone, its another week at ICS hasn't this week flown by,

I am totally amazed at the wonderful entries to last weeks sketch,

Dawn has given us another fantastic sketch this week, we are also being sponsered by

Scapbooks N Stuff they are giving the winner one sheet of every paper from the Elliot Collection from Scrap within reach.

What a great prize wish I could enter.lol

Here is the card I made from the lovely sketch.


I used a set of stamps from the clear range of Inkadinkadoos, cut them out with my nesties and coloured with copics used Bazill basicsand DP from stash, used an EK border punch across the bottom.

When my boys were young we used to go away in our caravan for holidays, they loved it but I wasn't so keen, couldn't get used to condensing everything into a small space, same thing now I spread all my crafting stuff out all over the place.

I hope you'll all join in with us at ICS, I can't wait to see what you come up with.

Nathan

Evening, this card is for a little boy called Nathan, I make all his Granny's cards for her, she has four grandchildren this year.

Ive used the juggler from sugar nellie, one of my fave stamps, coloured with copics, glittered the snowmans body, cut him out, liquid applique and glittered his trim. Matted him onto white glitter card using my nesties. Papers are from stash can't remember there make I also used three little white pom poms as snowballs for a change.Sentiment is a HOTP rub on.

I used a lovely sketch from Our creative corner, and also LOTV asked for a Childs christmas card, both challenges have the most amazing DT cards.

I'm off to my Stitch and Bitch club tomorrow night so I might not get a card done. We all went to night school together about twelve years ago to learn hardanger embroidery when the class finished we carried on meeting up once a fortnight for a catch up, coffee and moan. I'm the youngest there and Babs is the oldest at 71, you'd never beleave she was that age she lives on her own and never stops, like a whirl wind.

Take care,

Autumn

Evening, another nice day, thats two on a trot hope tomorrow makes three. But it is Autuminal next doors leaves are falling all over my garden like a lovely orange carpet.

This card is for Just Magnolia challenge I dont usually do this challenge as I've only got three magnolia stamps and i get a bit fed up using the same stamps every week. But I won a challenge the other week and there was a couple of prints in the prize.

Ive coloured it with my copics, which was a mistake as it bled a bit, I shall use my prismas on the others, used K&Co papers they were still on my desk so me being a lazy muppet used them again, matted with my nesties made some flowers with an EK and cross cut punch , ribbon paper flowers and leaves from stash.

This card also fits the SCSC challenge Debby wanted us to use Autumn colours, I must say Autumn is my favorite season, I love walking my dogs through the fields especially if theres a wind blowing, blows the cobwebs away.

Off to my parents for Sunday lunch tomorrow, mmmmmm my Mum makes the best roast dinner.

Hiya, didn't think I'd have time tonight as my MIL comes for dinner on a Thursday, but she went a bit earlier tonight ( hope it wasn't my cooking) .

I started this card last week it was supposed to be for the Copics challenge but I ran out of time. So its now for Cute card Thursday they wanted charms, well I've got 2, Crafts 4 eternity they gave us a recipe which was a gorgeous sketch, a punch and a bow or knot, and both SCSC and CCC wanted a celebration.

I used a Rachel Anne Miller stamp coloured with copics, used bazill and K&Co paper, nestie, I used a crafts-too and EK punch, flower and heart charms , brads and ribbon from stash.

Its been really nice hear today, sun shining showing up all my dust. I'm so lazy I get Sundays off work and just play, must get my act together and do a bit of housework (don't believe I just said that H word) must at least hoover and dust sometime we've got friends coming tomorrow night for drinks, luckily they've been friends for about 15 years so they know what to expect.lol.

ICS #37

Hi, well I'm excited and nervous at the same time.lol this is my first week on the wonderful Inspirational Card Sketches Design Team. What a friendly group of gals they are, and super talented, I've been stalking their blogs for a couple of weeks.

This is the great sketch Dawn gave us, you can rotate,flip or twist it, as long as its recognisable thats fine.

Here is my take on the sketch. I've used HOTP papers, the stmp is from Card Fairy I cut the ovals on my cricut, coloured the image with my copics and added a bit of glamour dust on the negligee frill. I punched the edges with my EK and stuck mini gems on the scallops. Added a silver ribbon and setiment.

Hope you will all pop over and have a go at Dawns sketch its a really good one I shall certainly be using it again.

Hugs Debs

Evening, I quite like this colour combo not used it before but its grown on me. I've used 3 WOJ stamps coloured with my copics, cut it out with my nesties, used K&Co papers,2 flowers,bead cap, gem brad and orange gems.
Its for 3 challenges I used thesketch from Friday sketchers, Creative Belli wanted halloween coloured bling, and Cupcake wanted us to make a thankyou card.

Christmas Eve

Hiya, hope everyone has had a great weekend, all rested for another week . I've had a couple of hours in my Bats cave and made this Christmas card, well to be fair I'd coloured most of it last night. I've made it for the WOJ challenge, Rachele gave us a gorgeous sketch and the DT cards are amazing. I coloured him with copics, used a bit of liquid applique and glamour dust on his trim,mounted on bazill and craft creations paper, used my nesties, EK and crafts-too punches some black brads and bead caps from my stash.
If you havn't been there yet WOJ are having a blog hop with lots of delicious candy on offer.

Hope to get another hour upstairs before Doc Martin starts, I do love that program, so pleased hes not my doctor. Take care.

Snowman

Hiya, I forgot I had this stamp, well actually I have a set of three of these tag stamps there from Stamps Away and I got them from the NEC a few years ago. I love this holly paper it was in a set from Anna Griffin, I used a crafts-too flower punch and a McGill branch. Some flower gems from Debbi Moore, Jelly tots from craftwork and ribbon from stash. I coloured it with copics, glittered the snowman and the snowflakes.

I used the great sketch from Sunday sketch and stamp, a spoonfull of sugar wanted a Christmas theme, CCC asked for all that sparkles(well my snowman certainly does, not very clear in this photo though ), and finally SS wanted red and green, I've also got a bit of blue for the sky but I'm hoping that will be OK. I quite like the way the flowers have turned out must see if I can get that punch in a bigger size.

Hope to be back tomorrow

Inked up a stamp I brought ages ago and not got round to using yet its a daisy dandylion one. Used dovecraft paper, copics, nesties EK border punch and a bit of ribbon from my stash.

Lilac snowman

Hi, sorry I havn't been about for a few days but my Son and DIL paid for us to go away for the weekend , it was fantastic, but pretty hectic as I had loads to do at work before I could leave.

Thought I'd try this gorgeous sketch from Friday Sketchers , I've used one of my prize images from Karen at ICS, I won one of the challenges a couple of weeks ago, I know I couldn't beleive it either, its a Sugar Nellie stamp and I've coloured it with copics and glittered the snowmen, used Craft creation papers and some paper lace that I've also glittered, I cut down a cuttlebug snowflake and used some brads from my stash, quite like this colour scheme for Christmas.

Might have some news for you tomorrow!!!!!

raindrop

Evening, wow how these weeks are flying by at the moment.

For this card I used the lovely sketch from Sunday Sketch and Stamp, it also fits in with the Anya challenge that gave us pink, white and a colour of your choice, I used orange as I'm trying to experiment with different colour combinations at the moment and this is a bit different to me.

The papers are from MME, Anya stamp coloured with Copics, EK Border punch and Nesties, WOJ sentiment, pearls on her jacket and crystals on the scallop edge.

You can't tell with my rubbish photo but I've 3D the umbrella. I donated loads of my cards to my local saint barnabas hospice for their sale the other day and they raised £40 I was so chuffed. If you have any cards you dont know what to do with Saint Barnabas hospice or charity shops would be over the moon to receive them as they are charity run and need every penny they can get, they do such a marvelous job.

Thought I'd do a Christmas card it always creeps up on me and I'm up all night doing rush jobs that I'm never happy with.lol.
Good luck to everyone that enters the challenge

Evening, I had a little play this after, instead of tidying, I've been dying to ink this stamp up, I ordered it to make my sister her birthday card but unfortunetly it didn't arrive in time. I've used K&Co papers , copics, nesties, prima flower and brad from stash, the otherflower I punched from my EK retro daisy. This sketch is from sketch saturday,and it is also 21cm x 15cm as in the option, Stamp something wanted your fave stamp and something punched , my new stamps are always my fave, Copic Creations wanted your fave colour cominations mine areYG0000, YG00,YG03, YG23 and B0000,B00, B32, B23 although I am very new to copics so it will probably change with each card i make.

Bye for now

Snowflake

Morning, thought I'd quickly post this challenge this morning before I carry on trying to put some order back in my Bats Cave. I found a corner last night and had a little play, but I can't for the life of me find my glitter glue, can remember moving it but not sure where, had to pinch some of hubbies wood glue,rofl,

Did three challenges on this card used the sketch from SS and only just realised it was supposed to be a birthday card for Heidi, sorry Heidi how about an early Christmas card instead, that'll teach me to right everything down and not just the sketch. CI wanted Blue/Brown love this colour combo but not to sure for a Chrissy card. PE gave us a recipe 2 squares, 1 ribbon and something that sparkles.

Used a Sugar Nellie stamp coloured with Copics, MME papers, brown Bazill, nesties, MS snowflake punch and glitter, ribbon and gems from my stash.

Have a fun sunday might be back later, depends how good I am at organising,

Bye for now

Orange

Hiya, hope you all had a good bank holiday, the weather in Skeggy is brill with a bit of wind to keep you cool, we have a bypass round our village now so we dont see or hear any of the holiday traffic, it is fantastic. Didn't get hardly any crafting done, Hubby treated me to some new units for my Bats Cave, they are double kitchen units with no legs which makes them just the right height to sit at. I'm still waiting for my worktop to arrive so everything is in boxes. I have a 3 meter wall and hes put a double unit either end and then a worktop will go across the top and i have a knee hole in the middle, I'll take a photo when its tidy.
This card is for FS its a great sketch and they wanted blue/orange as the colour theme, I knew which papers to use straight away as I've picked them up a few times this month then put them down again, they are from MME used one of my girlz from sugar nellie and cooured her with my copics (just ordered the new pastel ones, hijacking the postman till they arrive) matted with the nesties and used EK flower punches and pearls.
Got to pick my MIL up from the Humber Bridge tonight, going to see my sister tomorrow and then MIL is coming to us on Thursday so I proberbly wont get back her till Friday, unless my worktop comes and then I'll be arranging my stash. Must get back to work now I seem to have waffled on a bit. lol.
