SANTA PAWS :-)

 Hello Peeps,

I have been exercising my fingers today with a bit of colouring on a gorgeous Freebie I got from SPYDER, and I've managed to make a little card and only cut myself once LoL

I coloured the kitty with Spectrum Noir markers and used embossing folders for his background and sentiments :-)

I used snippets of papers from previous projects.

There is a lovely SNOWMAN as a FREEBIE from SPYDER this week if you want to pop over and snag it.

I may try colouring him up tomorrow.

Thanks for popping in.

HAVE YOU GOT WIND ??

I was watching the world weather recently and it seems that DORIS has been causing some problems around the UK. Now it looks like they will get more snow !!
It definitely feels like Spring here and I hope that we have done with the cold North winds. :-)

On FaceBook the other day, I saw one of those reminder/celebration thingies on Lyn's Page, showing us that it was 5 years since the release of " HEDGIE'S WINDY DAY "   and I realised that I hadn't got that one , although I must have over half the Shop at SPYDER's CORNER. !!!!   Anyways - I managed to snag him and here is something I did after colouring him up.
I have also used another Freebie..... this time it is a scrapbook kit Add-On from Magnolia, and I have made him a cool, windy background  using one of her papers:-)

The words are part of a poem called MARCH WIND (author unknown) which I thought was just right for this image.

March wind is a jolly fellow; 
He likes to joke and play. 
He turns umbrellas inside out 
And blows men's hats away.

I love Spyder's images and I really ought to get around to colouring them up - Spyder puts pictures of finished creations under the images in the Shop, so I'd like to fill it up with my offerings hahahaha LoL   :-D

Right - so I am off again now to get something else ready to show you and to find some Challenges to enter this one :-)

Thanks for popping in  (again) LoL

CAT LOVERS' BLOG HOP - DAY 2

Hello Peeps and welcome to the Cat Lovers' Blog Hop DAY 2 :-D 

This is leading up to October 29th - National Cat Day     YaY !!! 
There were some fabulous kitty creations yesterday on Day 1 and I will be hopping around to comment a bit later :-)

Here is my contribution for Day 2...

The kitties are from SPYDER and were coloured with Promarkers or Prismacolour pencils and the Poem is by John Keats - "To a Cat".

The stamping was done with one of those cube stamps with different designs on each side from StampCraft and I have had it for years :-) I used the fish bones and the pawprints.

I hope you will come along to HER PEACEFUL GARDEN and have a look at the Hop and maybe even play along if you LUV cats too :-D xxxxx

The blog hop starts today and runs until Friday, October 30. Janis has lined up some fabulous prizes, so you will want to head over to her blog for all the details! Guidelines and FAQ can be found here.

Cat Lovers' Blog Hop - DAY 2

SHEESH - WHAT A NIGHTMARE !!!

Hi Peeps,
I am struggling to get things done quickly as we have been having power outages here due to mega electrical storms  and RAIN !!!! .......... our first since February ! :-) Apparently, this is supposed to continue until Friday !!! :-(

Here is my piece for ONE STITCH AT A TIME  this Fortnight  CHALLENGE #246, and our Theme is Anything Goes with LEAVES. I got to work with a sweet little image called "Dog in a Tiger Costume" by SENTIMENTAL SUSAN over at STITCHYBEAR STAMPS.

I printed him out 6 times because I wanted to decoupage him and then I coloured him with Promarkers and have made a tag. My background paper is called 'AUTUMN LEAVES' which is from SPYDER's CORNER (or it WAS - I have had this for years now and am not sure it's still in her Shop) 

I edged with Vintage Photo Distress Ink and used a leaf die from Marianne Creatables.

The Sponsor for this Fortnight's  Challenge is StitchyBear Digi Outlet and here is the  September image and papers prize pack. 

OK - so you have 2 weeks to come along and play and I hope you will pop over to have a looksee at what my Teamies have made for your delight :-)

Rushing off now...... byeeee xxxx

CHRISTMAS IN JULY.... PART 2

Here is another Chrimbo card  - I used " Snowy Oak Tree " and " Pressie Bear" both from SPYDER.  I'm definitely having a Spyder afternoon today.
I snagged her latest FREEBIE and I'm going to colour up that one next - so it will be back to Summer LoL :-) I'm not telling you what it is.... you'll have to go and snag it for yourself :-D 

I coloured up the tree house and added Stickles for the snow bits. Then I added a sort of snowy flake border (I don't have a punch that does those !!) This was mounted onto a scrapette of snowflake card from my bits box.

The Pressie Bear was also coloured up using Promarkers, and has Stickles for snow. Then I cut him out and mounted him on the card with 3D foamies. The sticker I found in a box and I cut Happy Christmas from a piece of Chrimbo wrap paper. :-D

Thank you for dropping in :-D

CHRISTMAS IN JULY ???..... BLEH !

Good morning Peeps - the weekend is just around the corner :-D
It's bloomin' hot again out there today so I am playing down in my craft room, with my poor little sweaty puppy flaked out beside me !!! :-)

I was seeing a lot of Christmas in July challenges, so I decided to get some of my Chrimbo cards ready !

Here is my first - I used "Merry Christmas Polar Bear " from SPYDER. I flipped him and printed twice to make a card for my friend to send from UK to Oz.
As you can see - the Ozzie bear has a bit of a tan and a slightly sunburnt skin cuz they will be having Summer at Christmas time.

I coloured the Polars with Promarker pens and added a little watercolour beach behind the Ozzie one. The UK one has Stickles on his snowflakes. I fussy cut a teeny map of Oz and UK and mounted them with foamies, along with a senti. :-D

Thanks for stopping by - I am colouring up some more Chrimbo schtuff :-D

PURR-FECT CHRISTMAS

Good Morning,

I have been playing with my colours again on a couple of fabulous images I got FREE from SPYDER's CORNER.
I have used Purrfect Christmas Pudding Pussy and Christmas Reindeer for my piece.
I coloured them with Promarkers.
Both of these images were Freebies and you can snag a Reindeer for yourself as this weeks Freebie HERE.
Whilst I was putting it together I got a silly funny idea so there are two versions of the card - one with the silliness and one without :-D

I was going to enter it for the Quirky Charades Challenge (song/film or book) but I missed the darn deadline !!! :-(
I was going for Song: Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer and Film: Spartacus  hahahaha LoL

All the images were coloured and then cut out and mounted with foam pads.  I have also used an embossing folder I got free with a magazine for the top piece.
Pud Puss is no longer a Freebie but hopefully will be in SPYDER's shop soon.

Thank you for stopping by.

FALLING LEAVES

Good morning Peeps,
Just a quick one as I am off out.
I had masses of trouble yesterday with power cuts. Every time I got the computer re-started, the power went again. We had a big thunder storm and rain so that's what took it out :-( There's nothing worse than getting 99% finished with a digital image and then the power cuts off and PSE9 doesn't save your work !!! :-( :-(
Anyhoo - here is a little something I made up with  cute  Ricky Raccoon from SPYDER. I made a little Fall wall hanging.
I coloured him digitally using very snall strokes to resemble hair. It made his eyes a bit bigger - the black bits - but I checked with Spyder that it was ok before I published here :-D I thin printed him and cut him out. He was mounted with foamies for added pop.
The leaves were a sheet of freebies over at MY CRAFTS and are designed by ANNI ARTS - THE PRINTABLE CRAFT SHOP. I cut them out and then stuck them on with silicone for a bit of depth. The background papers are snippets from Sizzix papers. I made a paper frill for the bottom and Voila !!

Thank you for visiting. :-D

RUDOLPH DAY - OCTOBER

I'm back again today with my 2 creations for the October RUDOLPH DAY hosted by Sarn over at STAMPING FOR PLEASURE. Now I must admit that I haven't played every month and if I had I would have far more Chrimbo cards made by now - which is the whole idea.

So anyways, my first one features "MERRY CHRISTMAS OWL" who was a freebie a couple weeks ago from SPYDER. I have coloured him with Promarkers and mounted him on red card. I thought he looked a bit like a Robin - so I made a bit of a boo boo when I coloured him up  !! LoL  :-D  The musical notes paper is a re-cycled cracker and the fir treees are the left-over bits from peel-offs.

My 2nd entry (I actually remembered this time that I have to submit 2 LoL) is made using a free digi that I got just today. He is called  "Henry With Mistletoe" and is from PINK GEM DESIGNS.

First I 'paper pieced' his scarf and then I printed him out 6 times and fussy cut his pieces to make him 3D. I coloured each piece as I went. Now I have to show you this..... my clean cutting mat cuz last time I went over Sarn gave me a complete roasting for the state of my mat and threatened to come out here with a bottle of Jif  !!!  This is to show her that I cleaned it up in sheer panic hahahaha LoL

So here he is all stuck together and I set him on an embossed plain red background. This embossing folder was given to me by a friend and I don't know who made it. I used my die cutters to make a flower and leaves and then added a little stiff foil Merry Christmas.

I am pleased with myself that I actually got to play AND did it early this time around. :-D

Thanks for stopping by. xx
