Ah...little Rosie...

Good evening folks...and a wee quickie from me...I am back to work tomorrow so must get organised for tomorrows lunch.

When I saw this image the other day on Coops's blog, I thought it was soooo adorable so here it is..Rosie from Digistamp Boutique. I coloured her with copics, the papers are MME - On the Sunny side, I layered the papers onto bazzill card and doodled around the edges. The flowers, buttons and scallop border are all cut using MFT die-namics dies.

Paper Sundaes DT card

Well hello again all you Sundae bloggers. I hope the snow isn't too bad wherever you are. We had it really bad but it seems to be disappearing now thank goodness!! The challenge this week over at Paper sundaes is "anything but a square"...that's right.





We are being sponsored the by the wonderful Meljens Designs....who have lots and lots of beautiful images online. Well I was a bit iffy about this as normally the cards I make are square or rectangle however this is what I came up with. I cut the circle using a sizzix die and then layered the papers and card onto that, the papers are from Bo Bunny Midnight Frost collection. The image is Caroling snowmen from Meljens which have been coloured with copics, I added some snowflakes and glitter.

3 cards in 1 post....

Well what is this snow like...I spent nearly all day yesterday clearing snow...today I felt like I had been in the ring with Mike Tyson...I am all sore and achy!! Anyway I had kind of started these yesterday but finished them today. The first card I thought would be fun to do....I have no idea where I got the sentiment stamp, the papers are Colourful Christmas from MME, I added some snowflakes and glitter.....easy peasy. I have entered this card in the following challenges.

The second card I have made using Midnight Frost papers from Bo Bunny...they are really beautiful IRL. The image is from CC Designs which I coloured with copics and to give Emma's apron a see through look, I stamped it again onto vellum and layered it under the ribbon. I punched some snowflakes with the Martha Stewart snowflake punches and added some glitter. This card has been entered in the following challenges.

Papertake Weekly - sketch
ABC christmas Challenge - Y - Yuletide
Cute Card Thursday - The blues

Oh...this took me a few attempts at colouring this image as I wasn't happy with it. Originally I wanted to do blue and pink but it didn't look right, then I tried blue and red and that didn't look right either so I finally settled for this....I am much happier with this one. The image is Siku and Shiya from Mo Manning which I coloured with copics, I added white glitter on the furry parts of their jackets. The papers are Basic Grey Figgy which I thought looked good with the image. I am waiting on the Eskimo Kisses papers coming along with some other stuff but due to the weather not sure when they will come so decided just to go with these ones. I punched some snowflakes and added glitter. I have entered the following challenges.

Paper sundaes DT card

Welcome to another Sunday and my scheduled post...hopefully I have sussed the time differences and this card goes live at the right time. I was totally confused by the time changing both here and the US/Canada...I didn't know the time changed in the US/Canada. The theme over at Paper Sundaes this week is "Pick Your Sundae Toppings" so take two toppings from the following...blue, embossing, ribbon or punches, now I couldn't decide which toppings to use cos I am greedy so I decided since it's Sundae I used all four as a wee treat!! Our sponsor this week is Belles & Whistles who are giving away a super duper prize to one lucky winner. For my card this week I have used the beautiful "Bear Hugs" stamp from Belles & Whistles and coloured her with promarkers...didn't need many colours for this one.. I added some glitter to the bear's paws, ribbon and headband. I used Echo Park Wintertime papers and I finished the card with a message and snowflake..I added a little gem and glitter to the snowflake.

Papers - Echo Park wintertime
Cardstock - Bazzill Navy
Medium - Promarkers
Ribbon - Stampin' Up Grossgrain white

Best Mates..

Well folks...would you believe we have had sleet here today!! What a shock to the system that was I tell you....anyway I was having withdrawal symptons as I never made a card yesterday as I was busy getting stuck into the housework...I did that much my back was in agony...it felt better after a glass of wine..or two! I made this card earlier and just added the finishing touches and I am off to make the tea...since I am off I thought I would make sicilian pasta...jazzed up version of pasta bolognese...so yummy and haven't made it for a while and hubby will think he is in the wrong house when he comes home from work as I normally buy stuff already made and I just need to fire in the oven..I don't do home cooking very often only because I work and I don't want to stand all day in the kitchen...not my idea of fun...would rather have fun making cards but anyway I am cooking shortly!! For my card today I have used a random sheet of paper that was in my stash from Belle boulevard and the stamp is from Mo Manning and I think it's called Psss - the lovely Linds sent me that a couple of months back..isn't she a sweetie and I love it!! I coloured the image with promarkers and then did some additional shading with waterpencils and added glitter...will be buying more promarkers at the Hobbycrafts show...2 sleeps to go...woo hoo!! I have entered the following challenges.

It's James again...

Well that's me on holiday so the plan is lots of cards and to catch up on housework(boring). I will be visiting the Hobbycraft Show next week so can't wait for that!! Thought I would start with another crimbo card as I have lots to make...so you may see a few this week but I will try to vary the image!! I have used Bo Bunny papers - winter Joy which are just fab. The image is James from LOTV which I coloured this time with Promarkers, I then added some white course glitter to James's hat, I added some stickles to the falling snowflakes and the added some die cut snowflakes which I also coloured to match...finished with some gems. Hope you like it...

I love this little bear so much!!

Well I have been on a roll over the past few days with these LOTV stamps...aren't they just great....I hope they have a stand at the SECC at the end of the month!! Now..the stitching...I thought I would have a go again and real stitching but it's a hit or miss...I started off not bad but then I thought I was driving a car and I speeded up and started to go a bit all over the place...that's why I don't drive...lol!! I even stitched the circle...look how squint it is...but I think it adds to the vintage look I was aiming for...hmm. The papers are from Fancy Pants and James is of course from LOTV which has been coloured with copics and I finished with some glitter and 3 snowflake buttons...as I don't have a snowflake punch or die small enough...next on my buy list!!

It's Autumn...

Hello my fellow Sundae bloggers and my scheduled post..yes ..again!! The challenge this week over at Paper Sundaes is " A change of Season". The sponsor this week is Paper Jewels who will get lucky...well why not take part. For my card I have used this CC Designs stamp as I thought this one fitted well with our challenge...it's very much autumn here in Scotland!! Over at Allsorts the challenge is a song title - so I thought perfect - It's turning to autumn and all the leaves are falling to the ground and this song popped right into my head when I had made this card...The Last leaf..now all you young bloggettes probably won't know that song..I hardly remember it cos I'm not that old either but it reminds of the kind of mod days in the 80's!! oh and it was sung by the Cascades...I coloured the image with copics and layered it onto a die cut circle, I inked the edges of the circ le for a bit of a distressed look...kind of rubbish at that and the papers are from Bella Boulevard which again fitted well.

Papertake Weekly - best challenge(I have chosen sketch #39)

Hang in there!!

Well it's another lovely day so I've been out in the garden but I did have time to squeeze this card in too...all was going well until I went to take the picture. Now I remember Holly asking me if she could use my camera to which I said no cos she can take photos on her phone but low and behold my camera ain't working..something to do with the formatting so she has had her hands on it when I have been at work...so I had to nick Michaels camera to take this picture and then delete all evidence of me using it and being in his room and touching his stuff!! The image is from High hopes and coloured with copics, and the papers are Kaisercraft which I thought went well with the image. So I have entered this in the following challenges:

Ahoy

Weel I couldn't make up my mind whether to sit outside in the sunshine or to do some cards....well I have done a bit of both...outside for a wee while and then inside to do a bit to this. The papers I have had in my stash for ages and the image I downloaded from Pollycraft and coloured with copics. I stamped the image and then distressed all around the edges with brown ink to give it an old look and then added some highlights which I wish I hadn't now cos I think it looked better before. I have entered this card in the following challenges:

When I saw this stamp I had to have it...it just reminded me of my brother when he was a little boy..playing on his tarzan swing!! It's quite plain but I tried to make it look like a real rope swing....and I think I might give this card to my brother's little boy cos it looks a bit like him too!!
