No Squares at DV

Good Morning,

Dream Valley

has a new challenge starting today, the theme is:

No squares 

with a fabby sponsor from whom there is a £10 voucher up for grabs

I chose to do a scalloped circle easel card which I cut on the cameo along with the mats and layers 

the papers are printed from the Dreamees CD. I shrunk the papers down to paper piece the dresses on the image, colouring the rest with markers, sparkle pen (over drinks) and glamour dust (on numbers) neither of which show in the picture, my photography is bad!

Hop on over to the main challenge blog to see more supa dupa samples and to welcome our new teamie Doreen

This weeks theme is 

'Your Favourite Colour Combo'

I don't really have a favourite colour combo but am liking yellow & grey together at the moment

I used markers, chalks, glossy accents & glitter to colour in this image from Stamping Bella.

The papers are from My Minds Eye-In Bloom a fave of mine at the mo. 

The sentiment was computer generated and the number was cut on the silhouette.

Hop on over to see what the talented DT's fave colour combo is here

My Sister & Me

Good Evening Lovely Peeps,

Well I survived my first day on my new ward today, lots to take in, head spinning so came home for a bit of crafty time to chill. May even have a baileys!

But first I thought I would share a CAS card I made last week using Uptown Sushi Girls Stamping Bella. The image was coloured with markers and a touch of chalk. The 2 brown shopping bags were paper pieced with brown parcel paper.

The wording was computer generated using a quote I see on a blog some time ago. Unfortunately I cannot remember which one so am unable to give credit to that person. If anyone can help with this please let me know and I will add the link.

Have a good evening everyone, I'm off for a tipple now!

So Sweet @ MAWTT

Good Morning crafters,

I nearly missed the 9 o'clock deadline as I decided not to schedule this post. Not only is the week flying by but I need to be getting myself up in the mornings as I am going back to work on Monday. I have now been off for 9 months so have no routine in my life. Work are letting me go back on a graded return so hopefully it won't be too much of a shock!

Sarah is hosting the new challenge over at

Moving Along With The Times

this week Team A with a super theme

So Sweet

So we want to see anything Food Related or an image that you think is really sweet.

I have used a Stamping Bella image Claudia has some Candy & sentiment. Coloured with Markers, chalks and glitter with viva pearls dotted around the image. The papers were free with a magazine several years ago. The number was computer generated and cut out with a tag die.

This week this super prize is on offer to the lucky winner

Hop on over to the main challenge blog, there's lots of fab ideas from the talented DT

Moody Blue @ MAWTT

Good morning my crafty friends,

Hope you are all well and enjoying the start of spring.

There's a new challenge starting over at

MOVING ALONG WITH  THE TIMES

The lovely Debs is hosting the challenge this week and has chosen

MOODY BLUES

and has given us this mood board to get those creative juices flowing

 So we would like to see your blue coloured creations.

I do not find colour themed challenges easy. But at the end of the day it's supposed to be a challenge, and if we found every theme easy it wouldn't be a challenge, would it?

I started by getting all the blue papers out of my scrap box and decided which ones I was going to use. I chose a 'Stamping Bella Uptown Girl' image called 'Victoria and Juliette's Night Out', I do like this image, so many possibilities. This time I decided to paper piece the dresses & the rest of the image was coloured with markers & a little chalk. I used glossy accents on the glasses & blue frantage powder round the image. All layers have been mounted onto a pearly black card which was also used to die cut the border (spellbinder) leaves (MB). The flowers have been die cut/punched (crafts too, friskars punch) out of a vellum and  a mixture of pearls & gems have been added to the centres.

I hope you will join in the challenge this week.

Sunday Sketch & Stamp #173

Good Morning everyone,

I've been absent for a while now due to having been in hospital, my last few posts have been scheduled which appear to have gone live as per my instructions to Mr Blogger!
I received good news this week when I went to see the doctor for my results. The surgery was successful & I just need some preventative treatment but not sure what that will be at this moment.
I can't wait to get back to blogging and visiting all you lovely people, however at the moment I am up & down the hospital & doctors most days which sounds silly but takes up most of my time.
 

Any way down to business! 

There's a new challenge starting over at Sunday Sketch & Stamp.

This week I have designed the sketch which is nice and simple.

I can't wait to see what you create using it.

 



 

Here is what I created:

 



 

Image - Stamping Bella 'Victoria and Juliette's Night Out'

Colouring medium - markers, chalks & glitter

Papers - Shabby Princess

Flowers - Double layer of die cut & punched flowers with viva pearl centres

Leaves - MB Die

Sentiment - Computer generated

 

Enjoy your Sunday!
