Look who's 1

Morning girls

I can't believe it's been a week since we'd our last challenge on Totally Papercrafts but alas yes, tis Friday and time for a nice shiney new challenge.  Since we'd the girls last week we thought we'd give the boys a turn.

So this week our challenge is

ONE FOR THE BOYS

I confess this card was made a few weeks ago when I needed a first birthday card.  Just as well too as me mojo hasn't exactly been playing along lately:(

Jings, I can't even remember the name of the papers lol.  I think they're Pink Paislee.  Image is from Karen's Doodles, Thank You Boy set.  I added the sentiment before I printed the image which I've coloured with copic markers.  The inspiration for this actually came from little Matthew himself.  His Dad had printed out an a4 sheet with Happy 1st Mother's Day on it and taken a pic of him holding it in front of himself just like this. So I thought this was just perfect for his birthday.

challenges:
My Time To Craft - citrus colours
KB Cute Monday - use a digi

Craft Us Crazy - anything goes
Charisma Cardz - sunshine colours

 It's time for a new challenge on Karen's Doodles and this week it's.........

USE MORE THAN ONE IMAGE

I've used two of Karen's older images this week.  Ice Cream and Maggie and Me Then

What's nicer than two little girls playing in the sunshine eh?  

I've coloured as usual with copics, papers are from Pink Paislee, sentiment is Sparkle n Sprinkle and all the other bits and bobs are from me stash.

 Morning girls

It's time for a new challenge from me and me teamies over at Totally Papercrafts but before I get to that I've a bit of brilliant news to share with you all

Guess what???  

We are thrilled to be listed on the Wikio Ranking at No 9 !! 

woooooooooooohoooooooooooooo!!!!!

................................and it's of down to all of you for joining us on the challenges.  

So, come on girlies, let's see if we can get up a number or two by next month:)

Sue aka Scoopy's Stuff has made a smashing sketch for you this week girls. 

and it's time for our monthly sponsorship from Melissa

 As usual we got some fab images to play with

You'll need to excuse the rubbish pic but it's been so windy here this week I just couldn't get a decent pic.  You'd never believe how many times this blew all over me garden lol.  So wheelie bin showing, a bit out of focus ect but it'll have to do now.

Aren't those little birds sitting on their roof cute?  This image screamed DL card at me for some reason, so, for a change that's what I did.  Papers are Pink Paislee, image is coloured with copics and some stickles.  Ribbon and brads are from me stash.

I do hope you'll play along again this week, it's lovely seeing how you interpret our challenges and don't forget to go visit my lovely teamies too:)

had a wee play

Hello girls
I've had a little time to play with one of my sugar nellies this week, I bought them just after the release but haven't really had the chance to get any of them on a card yet.  Talking sugar nellies, have you seen the next release yet?  They're all fabulous, espcially the new born baby, can't wait to get me hands on him.

So, this is my effort. I coloured with copic markers and shaded a little more with my prisma pencils. Papers are Pink Paislee, I just love the slightly shabby look of these.  Flowers, beads and ribbon are all from me stash.
Have a great weekend girls, what ever you get up to
challenges:

Incy Wincy - 2 colouring mediums  Digital Tuesday - use a die cut Bearly Mine -ribbons and pearls

Gimme a kiss

Morning girls

Friday is once again upon us and that means it's challenge time on Totally Papercrafts.  First of all can I say a HUGE thank you to everyone who played along last week with our Birthday Card challenge.  We'd well over 200 entries whoop whoop!!!!

It's the lovely Sue who's hosting this week and she'd like you you to add a heart to your creation.  So with Valentine's Day just around the corner you shouldn't find it too difficult:)

We've also got a fab-U-lous sponsor this week

and the lucky winner will get to choose two stamps

I decided to kill two birds with one stone as it's hubby's birthday on Valentine's Day.  I added his name in little hearts lol.  He'll wonder what on earth I'm playing at with this one :)

 

This smashing image is Va va va Voom from Karen's Doodles which I've coloured with copics.  As soon as I saw it I knew I'd use it for Billy's birthday as it's not too lovely dovey lol  The papers are Pink Paislee, I've kept the them quite plain seeing as it's a male card.  Same with the embellishments, none, lol just those little hearts but I think it works.
So, please play along, it's great to see how you interpret our challenges and of course, we love to come visit too.

Thanks to everyone who played along last week with our Glitter It Up challenge on Karen's Doodles.  It's so difficult to choose our winner as all the entries are fabUUUUlous, I wish you could all get a prize:)
This week our hostess with the mostest Chris would like so see

MONOCHROMATIC CARDS

I love doing these, I know, a glutton for punishment me but I really do like the end result when using everything in the same colour tones.

So, here's mine, I've used Dance Fever Lady 1 which I've coloured with copics and then paper pieced these fab Pink Paislee papers for her outfit.  She's doing a happy dance as Christmas is over and done with lol
I think we all are:)  The big flower I received in a RAK a while back and it matched perfectly but  I couldn't for the life of me find a mathcing brad so that got the copic treatment too.  The smashing sentiment is a freebie from the very generous Paulette over on TLC, love how she's did the 'B':)
I do hope you'll find the time to play along again this week girls, it really is great to see how you use Karen's fabulous images and don't forget to visit my lovely teamies for some more inspiration:)
