I Have Some News!

Good Evening,

 

A very sore one for me!

I've been to the dentist today and had a tooth taken out, so spent the afternoon sleeping it off.

 

However I'm here now to share some exciting news with you.

 

I applied to join the DT over at Songbird Challenges a while ago.

I was thrilled to receive an email to say I had made it onto the team and of course I accepted

 

My first post @ Songbird will be Tuesday 29th October.

 

 

 

Sunday Sketch & Stamp # 179

 

Good Morning,

 

Hope you're all having a lovely weekend.

I've had a very productive one!

I'm very lucky, as my treatment is due to start next week, my Sister, Niece & Daughter helped me clean my house from top to bottom so that I do not have to bother if I do not feel up to it. They did everything, all the woodwork, windows & all the nooks and cranny's that don't usually get done, they even decluttered a bit, what I don't see doesn't hurt!!!! I kept my eyes shut. 

 

Over at Sunday Sketch & Stamp we have a new challenge starting today with a super sketch from the lovely Sam for us to play with:

 

 

and here's what I came up with:

 



 

Image - Boobie Love from Saturated Canary

Colouring medium - Copics & chalks

Paper - a free download from scrapsmart & is absolutely ideal for Breast Care Awareness cards

Flowers - a mixture of die cuts & punched

Leaves - MB Phlox die

Sentiment - Computer generated

 

 

Hop on over to the main challenge blog for more details & inspiration from my talented teamies.

 

Have a great day!

Spooktastic times @ MAWTT

 

Good Morning,

 

There's a great new challenge starting today over at Moving Along With the Times

Hazel is our hostess this week and she has chosen us the theme

 



'Spooktastic Times...'

 

So we would like to see all your Halloween Theme creations, not too scary please!!!!!

 

 

I have used a digi 'Ursulas Witch' that I got from the Digi Garden, however the store has sadly closed. The image was coloured with Copic's & chalks before being cut out. I copied the spider from her hat which I enlarged, coloured, glittered & cut out to use as embellies.

The sentiment was cut out on the silhouette, the top layer was cut out in white and coloured with markers to match the image. The backing papers are a free download  from Bearly Mine & have been mounted onto silver mirri then black card. Ursula has been added to the card using folded card that flattens for easy posting.

 

Hop on over to the main challenge blog for more spooky inspiration.

 

 

Enjoy your day!

Sunday Sketch & Stamp #177

Good Morning,

Friday Sketch Challenge #53 reminder

 

 

Good Morning,

 

Friday already, where do the week's go?

The challenge running over @ Friday Sketch Challenge has 1 week left to run, we have had lots of fab entries this week, must be the fab sketch inspiring everyone!

 

Here is a card I made using the sketch:

Colouring medium - Copics & chalks, oh and glamour dust

Papers - printed from same CD as image

Border - Spellbinder die

Flowers & leaves - MB dies

 

Have a great weekend!

MAWTT is Back!!!!

 

 

Good Morning,

 

 

A very happy one for me because MAWTT is back with our first challenge after our summer break.

To get us going Hazel has chosen everybody's favourite theme:  

 

'Anything Goes'

 



 

For my card I have used a digi stamp from Wee Stamps called Heidi. Isn't she just the sweetest, looking so cosy with those furry hand warmer! I coloured her in with Copics & chalks and of course I added some glamour dust. The papers are from a pad I have had for a while now from HOTP, I have actually been brave & started using them at last instead of looking at them and packing them away again!. The snowflake is cut out using spellbinder dies, glittered with glamour dust, layered together and a gem added to the centre. The snowflake border is cut out with a MB die. I also cut it out in a pearly white paper and used the stars in the background of the image.

 

 This week's challenge is sponsored by

 

http://www.sirstampalot.co.uk/rubber-stamps.php

The prize is a super K and Company Kit

 

and don't forget we choose our top 3!

 

Hop on over to the main challenge blog where you will find lots of inspiration as both teams are taking part this week. 6 new DT members have joined us during the summer break so why not have a nosey round there blogs too.

 

Can't wait to see all your wonderful entries!

 

 

Patchwork Patti

Good Afternoon,

 

Well I've been out for a fish & chip lunch with my Mum & Sister today. I've decided to make the most of being off work now I'm feeling a bit better, plus it gives me a bit of a routine. Staying at home all the while means there's nothing to get ready for so it's lunchtime before I'm up and dressed.

 

 

 Today I have a card to share with you that I made yesterday for the DT call over @ Songbird Challenges. The papers are a bit more daring than my usual stay safe polka dots, checks or embossed papers and to be quite honest I'm not sure about it!

 

 The papers are a digi print & were a free download from The Shabby Princess. They are beautiful designs but so different to what I usually use.

 

 

The image is Patchwork Patti from Sheri Baldy which I have coloured with markers and chalks, isn't she just so cute

 

 

The flowers are a mixture of brought (all the cream ones) & handmade (the blue ones are torn & rolled) and I must say, ones I make regularly as they are easy to do and I think they are effective.

I've embellished with some papermania heart shaped pearly gems, a MB corner die which I also used to add detail to the flowers with some of the curly bits & some seam binding.

 

 Just 2 more sleeps before MAWTT's challenge returns after their summer hols!!!
