Sketch saturday

2009-10-25T11:03:00.000-07:00

This is not quite following the sketch as i got a bit distracted at a crucial moment and stuck snowy on the wrong side! but over all quite pleased with this card! Image is PB, coloured with PMs, not sure what the paper is, maybe doodlebug? embossed the white bit the snowflakes embossing folder through the bug and of course lots of stickles. The sentiment is done on the pooter.

Papertake and passion for PMs.

2009-10-25T11:01:00.000-07:00

Not so keen on this card, think it looks a bit unfinished, but i was fed up of faffing around with it! The layout is from Papertake, and the colour scheme is from passion for PMs. think the image is PB, not too sure tho. the paper is DCVW, and the ribbon i found in me stash.

ASOS

2009-10-25T10:58:00.000-07:00

Sentiment was done on the pooter.

ABC DT CALL

2009-09-19T05:02:00.000-07:00

Shiney!

2009-05-03T06:17:00.000-07:00

I made this card for my boyfriend as it was our 5 year anniversary yesterday. The challenge on cute card thurs was shiney, so i used mirror card and a little metal charm that says 'made for you'. The kitten at the back looks green, but he is grey really!

All the papers are papermania, and the word is a whispers stamp.

Colour create

2009-04-13T09:13:00.000-07:00

Friday Sketchers

2009-04-11T05:46:00.000-07:00

This is my take on the friday sketchers layout. I used my fave elzybells stamp, coloured with whispers. a bit of ribbon that i found in a shop and put in my pocket :) . Im not sure what the paper is it was just in my stash. then i cut some flowers from pale pink card and velum using my woodware punches, and leaves, which is also woodware punch. the WISHES is from a stamp by whispers which says birthday wishes but i only used half of it. x

Flowery mouse - friday sketchers

a leafy challenge..

2009-02-21T06:43:00.000-08:00

Last night over on docrafts, the spidery one challenged me to make a card using skeleton leaves, as i had some that i had never used. I used an elzybells image which i watercoloured with pencils. The paper was basic grey two scoops, which fits in with the challenge this week, i chose the colour scheme of pink and green. And then the layout i got from friday sketchers. Did a bit of doodling around the edges, and im very pleased with how this turned out!

Spoonful of sugar

2009-02-16T12:41:00.000-08:00

Doodles - well i hope me doing the beep beep writing counts?! This is the 1st card i made using my new elzybells stamps that arrived last week. I coloured her with watercolour pencils, the paper is BG, the ribbon was off of a box of chocs and a few gems from my stash.

Cute card thurs, and friday sketchers

2009-02-16T12:33:00.000-08:00

This card is for 2 challenges, the 1st being cute card thurs which was music or dance. The image is stamping bella and i was sent it by a friend on docrafts, not too sure who the papers are by, i coloured bella with watercolour pencils, and put a tiny little bit og glitter on the ruffles of her skirt, the ribbon was some that i bought at a craft show and the flowers are prima from the bitty bag. The layout was friday sketchers, which i rotated

Spoonful of sugar challenge

2009-02-07T03:51:00.000-08:00

Well heres my take on the sketch from spoonful of sugar. I quite like this card. I used papermania sweet nothings papers, as i hadnt used them for a while, and i really must use them more as they are lovely. Cherry tilda is coloured with my watercolour pencils. I got the image from incy on docrafts. Flowers are prima from the bitty bag, gems from my stash. And the word was done with my bug in a rug alphabet in my cuttlebug. xx

Friday sketchers and charizma cards

2009-02-07T03:45:00.000-08:00

I used the layout from friday sketchers and the recipe from charizma cards. you had to use 3 papers, 2 flowers and a ribbon. I cant remember who the papers are by as i got them out of my scrap box, and the ribbon was free from a mag last year some time. I coloured tilda with my whispers pens. I got the tilda image from incy over on do crafts. xx

PennyBlack sat challenge

2009-02-07T03:40:00.000-08:00

The challenge this week was love, i actually made this card yesterday, before the challenge was set, so it worked out quite well! This was an order from somebody at work. Im not sure what the name of the stamp is as i got in a swap, but its really cute. I used my nesties to do the circle and swiss dots embossing folder on the black strip, then i used my bug in a rug alphabet for the letters. x

it me in bulgaria walking my mum and dads dogs in a park in bulgaria when we went to see them last year. the little one is lucy or lulu, and the big one is bailey, or the bear as we call her. theyve got another little sausage dog called ziggy, but he was too little to come out for walks at that point. I dont know who to tag for this, so if you want you, you are welcome to it! xx

I really enjoyed the challenge over at cute card thurs this week. You could do anything you wanted, but you had to use something that you got for xmas. I made a valentines card for my boyfriend using the alphabet and the spots and dots embossing folder he got me for my bug. The stamp was free with a magazine this month, cant remember which one tho!

2009-01-11T03:30:00.000-08:00

The challenge for the 1st week on charisma cardz was PINK! I left it quite simple just made a simple pink blank, used a whipper snapper image that i was sent by somebody on Docrafts, used some paper from my stash that ive had for ages, im not even sure who its by. Added a bit of ribbon, a few gems and a flower sticker.

Boys card

2009-01-09T11:00:00.000-08:00

I hardly ever do boys cards, so i thought i would have a go, and i actually really like it! I think its a sugarnellie image. The papers are papermania for him pack, then i punched out a few little stars. I also used a coloured blank which i never do.

Birthday tilda

2009-01-09T10:57:00.000-08:00

I was quite pleased with how this turned out! I used basic gray two scoops papers, which i love, the ribbon was around a box of chocs that i was given for xmas, the text was done on my computer, a couple of prima flowers from the bitty bag, and 2 pearls. In the bottom right corner ive used an ornate swirl that was part of a lakeland set that i won from somebody on Docrafts that didnt use it.

Easter tilda

2009-01-09T10:54:00.000-08:00

Thought id make an easter card as i had never done 1 before and somebody sent me the image in a swap. K&co paper, cirle cut with my nesties, embossing folders used were swiss dots and spots and dots, and the word was done using my tadpole cuttlekids alphabet. I inked around the edges of them, to make them stand out a bit from the base card, but im not really sure that i like the effect. Looks abit messy?!

Coloured with whispers.

Tilda Address book

2008-10-27T13:18:00.001-07:00

Really liked my tilda card i made for the autumn challenge, so i made a notebook the same. Got the notebook for 50p from asda, then took it apart. Good job they were so cheap, cuz i was a bit too forceful with the 1st one, and completely ruined the spirally bit!

Tilda Autumn challenge

2008-10-27T13:14:00.000-07:00

Made this card, for a tilda challenge on docrafts forum. you had to have 3 colours, i cheated a bit on the backing paper, but only used 3 to colour her! 2 buttons, brads or eyelets, and a ribbon. and i made some lil leaves to hang on the ribbon with shrink plastic. used basic grey papers that ive had for ages and never got round to using. Thanks to Pinkles (Lesley) for the image!

2008-10-20T14:55:00.000-07:00

I have designed this card for a layout challenge on the above site. Its a bit out of my comfort zone, wouldnt usually use nostalgic papers or images, but got sent them in a swap on DC website, so I dont even know who the papers are by. Added brads from my stash.

This is my 1st ever Tilda card. I wasnt to keen on her, but im starting to like her. Though that she looked odd cuz she had no mouth.

I used - papermania sweet nothings paper, coloured with watercolour pencils, stickles glitter glue on the wings, and gems from my stash.
