phewwwwwwwwww the last one

Hi girls

Happy, happy Christmas Eve to you all

Well I can honestly say if it's not sorted now then it won't be.  

I have thrown the towel in, called it a day, had enough etc etc.   Tonight I'm going to sit with me feet up and enjoy a wine or three in front of the telly:)

Before that though I've the card I made for our daughter to show you

I fell in love with this image as soon as I saw it and couldn't wait to get the copics out and colour her up!!

ingredients:

image - Redonkulas Designs

papers - First Edition

sentiment - pc generated

charm - Inky Impressions

Crystal Snowflake - Memory Box

So, that's my last Christmas card of the year to show you.  Thanks goodness for that too as I'm sick looking at them now.  It'll be  nice to make something else for a change once all the festivities are over:)

Have a wonderful Christmas girls, hopefully Santa will fill your stockings with some fab new crafting goodies:).  Let's all eat, drink and be merry and forget our troubles for a day or two:)

Hi girls

It's a bright sunny one here as promised by the forecast.  A few more days of this would be great eh?

I've spent the morning out in the garden colouring up this cutie from Teddy Bo and putting the card together:)

I bought two of these before I went off on me jollies but didn't get a chance to colour them up.  I'm hooked, I c an see a few more of these falling into me basket very soon.

Coloured with copics and loads of glitter, well it is a crimbo card and they need to sparkle.  Papers are from Memory Box and sentiment is from Sparkle n Sprinkle.

Right, back to the sunshine for me.  Enjoy your day girls:)

sooooooooooo distressing

Morning girls
Happy Monday to you:) I'm not really distressed I was just giving you a little clue about this weeks challenge over on Karen's Doodles.
Well I am a wee bit distressed if I'm honest and disappointed too. I know you all buy the images so why aren't you entering the challenges? Don't you want to win at least three of these gorgeous digi's? Come on girls, play along, you can combine it with other challenges too so long as you use one of Karen's cuties:)
Anyway, enough bleating from me let's get onto the challenge which is

DISTRESSING (as if you haven't guessed)

This is one of my all time favourites of Karen's images. It's called Tango and can be purchased in the store. I've coloured with my copics, it took me ages lol as I kept adding another little bit of shading here and there but I'm happy enough with it now. These yummy papers are from Memory Box available from Crafty Emma's store. I tell you it was very difficult to distress these, I mean VERY DIFFICULT!!!!! I ran my scissors along the edges and then added some blue and green pigment ink. I then cut some circles with my cricut and gave them the same treatment, damped them a little then squashed them to bits before opening them out again and adding a little brad to the centre. I completed the card by adding three little turquoise dew drops to the top corner.
So, whose up for the challenge? If you'd like some more inspiration then pop over to my lovely teamies blogs, you'll not be disappointed I promise:) AND this week the kids are playing along too. Please take a trip over to the kids challenge blog to see their fab cards

Happy Monday girls
Are you all refreshed after the weekend and ready for some serious crafting?
Do you remember me telling you last week that I'd made the wrong card for our challenge on Karen's Doodles? I'd got the theme all wrong and did this card instead of one for our Pretty in Pink challenge. At least I've been ready to go for this challenge which is

CRISS CROSS CARDS

I decided to put mine onto an easel card too. Just a moment of madness but I do like how it turned out.
The image is Santa's House which can be bought from Karen's web store here. I've coloured as usual with copics and huge amounts of stickles. Christmas ain't Christmas without some glitter is it?
Here's another pic with the tag part pulled up

The papers are 'Memory Box' which I bought from me blogging buddy Crafty Emma's store. The poinsettia flowers I've had in me stash since last Christmas, the sentiment was computer generated and the brads and eyelets are from me stash too.
So, there you have it girls. I do hope you'll play along and don't forget to check out the other DT girlies cards too:)

Hi girls
Are you all set for the weekend? I'm hoping to have another one like last week with some more wall to wall sunshine:) Isn't it amazing how a wee bit of sun lifts the mood, so fingers crossed.
Anyway as it's Friday it's time for another challenge over on Totally Papercrafts. Our theme this week was chosen by the lovely Mel and is..........

summer fun

we're sponsored by

You can interpret the theme any way you like.
Summery colours, summertime images, anything goes so long as it's a nice summery creation.

So, here's my effort. These gorgeous papers are from memory box, spearmint range. Aren't they lush? The postie brought them for me on Wednesday from Crafty Emma's web store so of course I had to have a wee play with them right away. Well you do don't you? The sweet little image, which I've coloured with copics, is from Karen's Doodles. The ribbon and eyelets are from my stash. So there you have it.
Don't forget to play along now girls, myself and the others on the DT are already looking forward to some wonderful creations very soon:)
