Good morning all

Its time for a nice summery challenge to brighten you day at MAWTT this week

We have  photo inspiration and

the theme is 

Nice Bright Summery Colours

I have to confess that my mojo just walked out on me for this challenge I just couldn't come up with anything, so I had a look through my box of digi images that I've printed out but never used and came up with this card - based purely on the thought that this little boy would be bright coloured, and as you can see that's about all there is to this card - one image and bright colours!!

The image is Cupcake Celebration by Kenny K available here

Calling all Brads! - oh I do like this challenge!!

Good morning all

Its another Wednesday which means I'm here with my DT card for Fab'n'Funky Challenges.

It's the turn of our lovely Ciska to host 

and she has come up with a wonderful theme

Calling all Brads!!

Now if you are me there's only one Brad that springs to mind - and you can pop on over to Fab'n'Funky Challenge blog to see him -definitely worth the visit - oh you have given us a treat this week Ciska!!!

The real point of the challenge of course is that you use brads on your project 

- me I like the other Brad 

(ha ha I sound like the gin lady on the Aldi tea advert - sorry to all you non UK ladies who haven't got a clue who the Aldi tea/gin lady is - such a funny advert!!)

Here's a youtube link

 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uCKgCkubGc0

.....anyway I digress 

Here's my Brad card!

The image is Handyman from Kenny K available here

Our Fab sponsor this week is Kenny K who has provided the DT with some 

gorgeous digis to play with and is also providing a fab prize

5 digis to the winner - how great is that!

I knew I had those cute little screw brad and thats why I chose to use this image they're my favourite brads (well except for the other Brad lol) - I thought they were just perfect and also my little tool charms - no there's nothing wrong with your eyes - they're not on the card - I found snowmen, sunflowers, sunglasses, hearts and flowers and dozens of baby bib charms that didn't get used on my grandsons christening invitations (make me an offer anyone!)- but no cute little hammers and wrenches - I know they're there somewhere......grrr

This is what I did....

Its fireworks and bling at Inky Impressions challenge blog today

Hello again

I'm back with my second post of the day.  It's supposed to be my Inky Impressions post but there's no Inky Impressions card from me today!! I started off full of good intentions that I would post this week (its not my week but I really liked the challenge and wanted to do it).

Inky impressions are being sponsored by Kenny K this week  and that was another good reason to join in!  I saw this Kenny K special 4th of July digi and knew it was perfect for my nephews 21st birthday card, that was a few weeks ago so I decided to keep it for this challenge.  I made the box to match and tied it up with red white and blue twine and I had put a little money pouch underneath the easel to give him money for his birthday.  When I gave him the box at his party (he was keeping all of his presents to open when he got home)  - he was really puzzled as to what was in the box - bet he didn't expect a sassy little girl!!

I really pushed the boat out with this one and got the 4th of July papers from Raspberry Road as well (at least I think that's what it was- it was weeks ago and I can only half remember - they're definitely Raspberry road!!)

I had a great idea for my Inky card too - but it never got any further than that - my Grandson Jacob was christened at the weekend and we had a party for 60 people afterwards in our house and I'm afraid my inky card got lost in the preparations!  Here is Jacob his with his Mammy and Daddy - my daughter Alison and son in law Steven. As you can see Jacobs a bit of a bruiser and he's really long- he's only 6 months old but is now into 12-18 months size clothes - he's got legs like tree trunks -his Mammy had legs like those when she was a baby - thankfully they slimmed down when she got bigger!!)

Anyway - back to the card

This is what I did...

Digi - Kenny K 4th of July
Coloured with copics and prismacolour pencils
Papers - raspberry road - 4th July (I think!)
Sentiment (I'm not a troublemaker)- Whimsy stamps
Happy birthday circular sentiment - Lili of the valley
21 - cut on sizzix die - Tim Holtz vintage market
Key charm - Ink Impressions
bling etc from my stash
box made with ultimate pro from crafters companion

I'm entering this card into the following challenges

Kenny k's crafty crew -Patriotic -red white and blue for GB
Celebrate the occasion - 4th July
Incy Wincy - use only the colours of your country (red white and blue) GB
The cutie pie challenge - one for the boys
Tammy's scrappin corner - Celebrations/4th July

Thats all from me for today

Its a no DP challenge at Fab'n'Funky

Hello again

I'm back again today because we have a new challenge over at

fab'n'funky challenges an it's

No Designer Papers

We're being sponsored this week by Joanna Sheen who is offering a prize of a voucher to spend in store

I had a card to make for the son of our best friends who's 25  - so needed a masculine card with a modern twist so decided that this Kenny K image fit the bill

The inside

I decided to keep it very plain and manly! He's definately not a flowers and bows kind of guy.  so simply used a ribbed kraft card that I distresed with inks as the base and kept everything else to a minimum so that the focus of the card is the image. I glossed his specs, guitar and jewellery with glossy accents - I think you can just see it in the photograph.  I enjoyed colouring this fun image, he's definitely got a personality and I'd like to think I captured it!

This is what I did .....
