Pollys

I felt like doing something bright and cheerfull today and these papers by K&Co are so bright and summery, I've used another image from Mo's Digital Pencil , just loving these images.
I was entering this into two challenges, then I realised I used the sketch from last weeks create 4 fun . So its just the one Mo's Digital Challenge who wanted birthdays as the theme, so that was an easy one as I still need to make 2 to finish this months birthdays. Got a stinking cold so I might be missing for a few days, I just need to type up my DT card for tomorrows ics challenge.

Lazy

Yet more snow, must say I'm getting a teny bit fed up with all this white stuff. But at least it makes my back garden look tidy, lol.

Hubby obviously isn't, this is his coffee break snowman, its only about 18" high , talk about the boy never growing up.lol.

I made this card using one of my Lili of the valley stamps, I hear that are releasing some new ones at the end of the month. The are from a Patti Picalicious CD , nesties, copics, ribbon and a thanks brad. This qualifies for five challenges.

Welcome to the first challenge of the century, Dawn has given us another gorgeous sketch, and the usual rules apply, you can twist, flip rotate anything as long as the sketch is visable.

We have a super sponsor this week Softpencil pop over and see the lovely designs they also have some scrumptious calendars.



This week I'm still making my calendars and I've used a new stamp (xmas pressie, thanks Terry) from Penny Black. It's got 3 toads but i've joined them together to make a row
Coloured with copics used a papermania paper pad. HOTP brad and google eyes


Hope you enjoy yourself with this sketch I certainly did. Looking forward to seeing what you do.

Pam

Hi there, I'm mega organised this year, trying to get all my birthday cards done before the day before this year, I have six in Jan and I'm on number four so I'm quite pleased with myself.

This one is for my friend Pam she has one of these dogs but hers is a girl so I've tarted it up a bit. Her granddaughters will love it.

I've used another of Mo's digital pencil designs that I got for Christmas and coloured it with my copics, I'm entering it for Create 4 Fun and used their gorgeous sketch on its side, also Pile it on that wanted us to use a digi stamp and Stamp Something that wanted us to use something new.
Sees ya later

Kelly

Hiya, well I thought we had seen the back of the snow but we had a couple of inches this morning when I finally got out of bed and its 7.30 now and still here, when I walked my dogs it was like a skating rink. Still it was warm and cosy in my bats cave and I managed another card this time for a lovely young lady who will be 17 and itching to get driving, she already has a car a little white fiesta her parents brought of my sister, I'm going to get her a sticker I've seen on quite a few girly cars, its pink and says Powered by Fairy Dust at least it may stop her brother using it,

This card is for the Allsorts challenge they gave us a gorgeous sketch and asked us to use something new or old stash , well this is another digi stamp from Mo Mannings digital pencil that I got for Chritmas. It also goes in to Pile it on challenge that wanted digital stamps. Think I might pop back upstairs and finish a card I started earlier for a friend.

Take care

Eleanor

Happy New Year to all, hope your well and rested after the break, have you put your Christmas stamps away or are you stil playing?

I've had a break from them today and made the young girl round the corner a birthday card she'll be thirteen but acts like a 30 year old, don't they seem to grow up fast these days.

I've used the sketch from Sketch Saturday and Stamp something wanted us to use something new, I was treated to some digi stamps from Mo's so i used one of those.

Hope to be back tomorrow,

Dexter

Hi all, I hope everyone had a great Christmas and is looking forward to the New Year, I decided to make a few calendars instead of New Year cards, that way they last a bit longer.

This one is for the Sketch and Stash challenge who provided us with a lovely sketch, I've changed it a tad and taken the two flowers of the sides, didn't think this card needed anything else.

My gorgeous son and DIL brought me Dexter for Christmas, I've wanted some Motivet stamps for ages they also got me Shy Hilda she's facing the ink tomorrow for another calendar.

Hope to be back tomorrow.

Calendar

Hiya, hope your all nearly ready, I'm no where near yet, but I finish work tomorrow so its all systems go.

Hi, this card is for two challenges, I used the sketch from Truly Scrumptious and they also wanted you to use vellum so I tore a strip for the sentiment to go on. My Time to craft asked for Christmas Foliage so even though holly berries are not pink in real life I thought they would still count.

Ive used a Lili of the valley stamp that I coloured with copics and loads of glitter, My minds eye papers, nesties, a coupe of white brads that i coloured with copics then glittered.

Take care.

I was lucky enough to win a challenge a few weeks ago and my prize was four digi images from Sketching Stamper Digi-Stamps you really must pop across and have a look they are gorgeous, one of mine is this partridge in a pear tree, Ithink it makes a great Christmas card coupled with Dawns sketch. I coloured it with copics mounted it on bazill basics and my minds eye dp , fiskars threading water punch bit of red ribbon, hero arts crystal snowflakes and diamante ribbon slider both of these of my sister, thank you mwahh,

I know, I'm getting a bit predictable, another easel card,but I wanted to see how an A5 one turned out, this is for a freind of mine its her birthday on 20th Dec so i always seem to rush her card as I'm busy with last minute preps, so this year she's got a good one.

This is my fairy godmother stamp from Butterfly Kisses coloured with copics, lots and lots of glitter, K&Co papers, pink bazill,nesties,EK punches,bead cap and gem brad from stash.

Not keen on these dark nights for photo shots, even with my daylight bulb, might ask Santa for a photo box for Christmas or see if hubby can make me one, he's pretty handy.

Evening, hope everyone is well. Its mighty windy here today I dont know about bracing.
This card sort of fell together I chose my paper I wanted to use and the rest just happened not very often that happens I can tell you. The sketch is from Everybody Art and I love it. The recipe is from Lili of the valley- 3 papers , never quite sure if you count your layering, so I did.
2 Stamps- A new one from LOTV and the sentiment was from a Little Claire set, 1 type of embellishment , I chose brads, I dont think the flowers count as I made them using the papers.

Furry Xmas

WOW, what a fatastic day I had yesterday,
I went to the NEC and shopped till I dropped, It was the best I'd been to, in my opinion, the roads wasn't to bad it took three and a half hours with a loo and coffee stop. Set off at six in the morning and got home just after nine at night, had to work today to make up for having yesterday off and still havn't found homes for all my new goodies.
I started this card before I went so I've managed to get it finished tonight.

It's for a challenge I've never done before called Posh Designs Scrapbook Store its challenges are set on a Tuesday and is Bi-weekly, The hostess is the amazing Dawn B from Inspirational Card Sketches so its bound to be great.

This is the sketch I have used with an old stamp I've had for quite a while and carn't remember where its from, I've used a new card blank from craftwork cards,stickles, nesties, cuttlebug embossing folder and a rub on.

Got to get off now some kind sole has just started letting off fireworks, at eleven o clock :( and my dogs are getting spooked.

Hope to be back tomorrow after Mum has treated me to one of her amazing roast dinners, Hubby is off fishing so its a me me me day.
