Hostess Monday Project for Digital Delights by Looby Loo


Good Monday morning all

I have a new project today as its my turn to host our Monday inspiration
for Digital Delights by Looby Loo.
I decided I would make something a little different from a card for a change, but something that would perhaps be useful, and set about looking through all the fab digis that we have to choose from at Digital Delights for some inspiration.  I came across a  little book toting turtle called - what else but - 
Scholar Myrtle available here
 I thought that this image would make a fab bookmark and then went on to find Digital Delights even had a fab little bookmark and sentiment set as well available here

 

Bookmark sentiment setScholar Myrtle

This is what I did......
I used the bookmark template to get the size and dimensions of the bookmark to fit the image
Printed off one of the cute sentiments to use as well. 
I Coloured Myrtle with copics,  keeping the colours fairly muted, 
Gave it some shading with prismacolor pencils  
And cut out the image 
I then cut out the layers of the bookmark,
Cut a small tag with the sentiment
layered the whole thing up finishing off with a hole punched in the top to thread some fine ribbons through.

 I thought it looked a little bit unfinished at this stage so cut a few star die cuts in matching card with a Nellie Snellen star die set and layered them up too.  I felt as if I could have used a few more embellies but  if it was a proper practical hard working book mark it simply wouldn't last with too many embellies or anything fancy like gems or charms so I decided enough was enough!

I enjoyed the challenge that I set myself  to make something different and practical and didn't know either of these  digis existed until I took myself on a tour of Digital Delights - and I look around almost every week, so who knows what you might come across if you just take the time to have a good look around!

Have a great week

My Little decoupaged garden


Morning all

Well I just about caught up with myself eventually - just!  So I;m here and on time with my MAWTT DT card for this week 
And the challenge is 

Decoupage

You can do any type of decoupaging you like  - just make sure we can see it
 (or give us a clue where it is decoupaged!!)

I decoupaged an image that I stamped out

The image is" My Little Garden" from the Paper shelter available here 



I decide to focus on the image for this card with just a ribbon and ribbon rose to embellish
I also kept the decoupage to just the pot of flowers - I had started off with an idea of decoupaged watering can, bees flowers - everywhere - then i reminded myself that less is more and I'm sure this card is the better for it!  I also used only black prismacolor pencil to give it a worn/vintage look.  I really wish I had photographed it before and after the pencil was applied because it really did bring this card to life - a tutorial for another day perhaps. 

  A close up of the decoupaged plant pot

Our Sponsor this week is 
 - offering this fab prize

 

To be in with a chance - you have to be in it (to win it!)

This is what I did ....

Good morning blog friends

Hope its nice and bright and sunny where you are.  Its a lovely morning here- nice and bright and very still - I haven't poked my nose out of the door yet so its probably freezing but its just nice that we don't have rain, snow or ice!  

Another nice thing about today is its my birthday and as I worked Tuesday instead of my normal Thursday I even get the day off.  Only thing is at the moment I'm sitting here with my cards and presents that my family left for me and up until now I haven't opened them - somehow it feels a bit sad to open them all by myself - think I'll wait until they all come home tonight lol.

Anyway today is not all about me - its also challenge day over at Delightful Challenges and we have  a day about someone else instead its 
All about the boys!
Our challeng this week is

Black and White Army! - just for you Shell!

Good morning blogfriends

Well I got to the end of this exciting week and now I have to settle back down to create something out of it all!  I decided to use this cute little footballer from The Paper Shelter 
- called Soccer Star - available here  for my DT card at My Time to Craft this week. 
 It is also a card for my footie mad nephew who turned 18 on Thursday.  He is an absolutely  mad Newcastle United fan so when I saw this image it just seemed perfect for his card - he appreciates anything black and white and not much else!

Also as our Crafty Mamma at MTTC has similar tastes 
-this ones for you too Shell hehe.
(I have to do something to get round you saying as I cheated for this DT card!!!)

The challenge over at

this week is 

Embossing

I have to admit that I'm not a big fan of dry embossing - I only have four folders and two of those are Christmas ones!  But I do some wet embossing from time to time.  I had a tidy up and move around of my craft stuff a few weeks ago and now I have no idea where my heat gun is
 - should have left it alone - I know where I used to keep it!

So as I didn't really have anything to emboss with that would suit this card -I have to confess to doing a bit of a cheat - I used card that is already embossed - it is a Tim Holtz card with a heavy weave efmbossed on it - and it was the perfect colour for this card



This is what I did....

Image - Soccer Star from The Paper Shelter
Cooured with copics and prismacolor pencils
Papers - MME Meadowlark
Dies - circles Spellbinders
       - fishtail flag stax from Dienamics
       - 18 - Tim Holtz wanted alphabet from sizzix
Ribbon and gems from my stash

Challenges I'm entering with this card

Craftuscrazy - anything goes
Dutchdare challenge - for the boys 
Crafts and me - dies or punches
Simon says - Anything goes
Clearly inspired - black and white with a pop of colour


Have a fab weekend

Threes a charm at Digital Delights this week

Good morning all

Today I have a cute card for the challenge over at 


This weeks challenge is 

Three's a charm
(use 3 of something)

I used 3 ladybirds on this card

Oh I'm so confused! - still not sure what day it is- again! - my working week has been changed around yet again this week and it really makes a huge difference.  I'm definitely a set in my ways girl!  I was making this weeks card right until the deadline - I had a great idea for this card that I decided wouldn't work - mainly because I hadn't looked at the digis properly - there are 4 dogs in this digi set and I was going to use 3 dogs on this card - but when I looked again - it would have been a mega size card or minature dogs  for that to work lol  - then my mojo just went out of the window!! -I eventually got it together sort of - though my husband said it looked like a card meant for a dog to him - so as I don't send my dog cards to often - I'm really not sure about it!!

I think I'll just plead insanity on this one and start again tomorrow!!
On the bright side - I loved colouring him - just so cute and I gave him a ruff shaggy sort of coat that I think turned out well - I used tiny strokes in four shades then shaded again with prismacolor  pencils and white gel pen and I was really pleased with the way the grass turned out too!  
He looked to me as if he was looking at something - so that's why he got the ladybirds.

This weeks challenge is being sponsored by


and the fab prize is a $10 voucher to spend in store

This is what I did

Here's some good advice...pack light!

Hello lovely blog friends

A special hello to all my new friends over at The Paper Shelter who have called on me these last few days - thank you for the warm welcome!

Today is challenge day again at Fab'n'Funky challenges where our lovely Sue is hostess for the week
Sue has chosen the theme of 

Pastel Colours

An easy one I think - there are so many Easter cards and Mothers day cards floating around blogland at the minute I'm sure you can find  a lovely pastel one to enter into our challenge this week.

This card was a bit of a revelation to be honest, apart from deciding that I was going to make it as a birthday card for my lovely daughter I didn't have a clue what I was going to do with it!
It sort of evolved lol - I did the very dangerous thing of colouring it before choosing my papers and then when I started to put it together I sort of didn't know when to stop - its very well embellished with all kinds of stuff from my stash  - its even got a whole sheet of pearl swirls on it - I hope she appreciates it - its the craft world equivalent of giving someone your last Rolo - and then some!!



We are sponsored this week by the fabulous Saturated Canary


 and the DT were lucky enough to each get a gorgeous image to play with.  I chose that pretty little girl with her suitcases -ready to go off on her summer hollies I think.  Very appropriate for Alison - she's coming to Florida with us on holiday this year and she really can't wait!!  Her whole little family (that's her husband Steven and baby Jacob) are all coming along and because they didn't get a holiday in the sun last year (because Jacob was too tiny), the excitements like they've never been on holiday at all - ever!!

I had a bit of a departure from my usual colouring and shading technique where I use mainly grey or black to shade my image when I've finished colouring  -it gives a bit of a toned down vintage look to the colours.  With this image I think I wanted to keep it a bit brighter - but shock horror - the point had fallen off my grey pencil and i cant find my pencil sharpener.  I decided to shade in colours of the same tones as I had use - I rather liked the effect - might have to try it again!! Don't know whats wrong with my photos these days - think I might have to make some changes! -the colours don't look very true on this photo - the flower is the same green paper as on the card - but it looks a different shade to me and that gorgeous butterfly looks too dark and not so gorgeous .... hmm!
Heres what I did....

Blooming Love!

Good morning all

I'm here today with my inspiration card for Whimsy Stamps.  I've used not one but two of the cute January release digis from Stampart Design by Kathryne
 together with a bonus sentiment that comes with it.

The main image is called Katie available here
The pink flowers are cut from Pretty Petals 2 available here
and the sentiment comes as a bonus with the Pretty Petals 2 stamp 


The flowers in the bottom corner are cut from the pretty Petals 2 digi - I coloured them then cut them out and mounted them on 3D foam before arranging them on the die cut leaves as an embellishment to match the flower on the image.  I really like these little flowers and I think they could be used to make all sorts of flower embellishments as there is an assortment of shapes and sizes of flower.  The centre of each flower is coloured and then I added diamond stickles which really makes these flowers stand out.   The design paper I used is first edition spring drop - the colours in it are green, pink, peach and aqua and I used those colours for my image - the aqua doesn't show up to well on the photo which makes the colours look a bit random - its better in real life  honest!

This is what I did....

Colour my world

Hi all

You're probably wondering what's going on - here I am my 5th day in a row!!
 When I first started blogging I had an ambition to post a card at least 4 times a week and although I haven't always hit that target - I feel as if I have come pretty close. 
 I get a great feeling of satisfaction each time I post a card 
- it's like - ok job done!

I have a really cute little girl today from Digital Delights, Wendy (aka Louby Lou) asked for some samples to be made with this cute set of stamps and I really couldn't resist

The set is called colour my world and is available here


I decide to make an easel card so I could fit all the elements of the set on the card - the sentiment, Chelsea the little girl and the pencils and paints.  I decided just to go for total colour overload here - after all this image was an invitation and how often do you get the chance!  It is  also available already coloured (here) and there are some cute sentiments too

Heres what I did.....

Image and sentiment - colour my world set from Digital delights by Louby Lou
Coloured with copics and prismacolor pencils
Papers - K and co

Are you ready for a romantic moment?!

Good morning all

I'm back today with a new inspiration card for Whimsy stamps.  This one is from the gorgeous Fairy dust images and is called Romantic Moment available here


Isn't it just a gorgeous fairy image - I just loved it the minute I saw it and was dying to colour it up. I was originally going to colour it in pale pastel colours and went looking for papers to do that but when I saw this paper i decided to go with the pale green and red colour scheme and I really like how it turned out.  I went a bit overboard with the stickles - well you can with a fairy - and although the sparkle of the glitter on the wings is reflecting the light so that you cant see the wings too well - they are coloured in a graduated blue,green,pink and lilac design.

This is what I did.....

Image - Romantic Moment from Fairy dust Images at Whimsy Stamps
Coloured with - copics and prismacolor pencils
Paper -MME - lost and found blush
Sentiment LOTV grungy everyday messages
Distress ink - Faded corduroy
Stickles - Diamond
Dies -Memory box - Debutante frame and Honeyblossom frame from Oyster stamps - I cut some extra branches to fill the bottom of the frame as well.  also ivy tendrill die - all cut with pearl card

It's men only at MTTC today

Good morning all

Well it certainly is a good morning here in the frozen north!  The sun is shining and theres even a touch of spring in the air - don't suppose it'll last but its nice to have some decent weather for a change.  

Its also challenge day at MTTC  - so another reason to be cheerful!

This week challenge is 

Men only
(only cards for men)

I decided to use this cute image called Birthday Ted from Dis Digi downloads -I bought it before Christmas intending to use it for a little boys birthday card but somehow it didn't get used.  Its one of those versatile stamps that I think you could use for a birthday card for almost anyone so I decided to use it to make a 30th Birthday card for my son in law.  His birthdays at the end of March, I need to be prepared for this day as not only is it his birthday but also my daughters birthday and their wedding anniversary all on the same day - not a day for last minute cards lol

Anyway here's the card I made for him



 I decided to take it into the conservatory to photograph as it was such a bright sunny day - its on my glass dining table so there's lots of light - just in case you're trying to work out what on earth you can see in this picture - its a glass table and chairs under it!!

This is what I did...
Image - birthday Ted from Dis digi downloads
Coloured with copics and prisma pencils

Papers - kitschy kitchen from Melissa Frances (aqua) and everyday essentials from paper mania(beige)
Card cut with spellbinders grand nestis circles and scallops
Star dies - Mariannes

Sentiment  - LOTV

I know lots of people don't like making cards for men - so this could be just the challenge for you - get challengeing yourself - that why its called a challenge lol

Challenges i'm entering with this card

Card making mammas - birthday
a gem of a challenge - die cuts and punches
Charizma cards - Anything goes
Milk Coffee challenge - Make it cute

What have you got inside!

Good morning all

Well there's a question and one we'd like to see the answer to
at Fab'n Funky challenges this week 
our challenge this week is 

What's inside?
(decorate inside your card)

I do always decorate inside of my cards to match the outside - though I don't often show the inside on my blog.  But here I am showing my inside off today!!
Just as well its not my real insides - I dread to think what it looks like in there yuk!

We are sponsored this week by the fab

 
who are offering a fab prize of $10 to spend in their shop

We were lucky enough to get some cute images to play with 
I chose this cute little girl called

Mimi Stars 4 - available here



The layout of this card came about by accident really - I was making a scalloped edge to go down the side edge with a ribbon but when I put the scallop together I thought it sort of looked like a pelmet and as this little girl looks like she's on the stage I decided to mount it on 3d foam along the top of the card and leave it at that!  I decorate the inside to match using the same layout.  I've also been getting a bit attached to my stickles of late so gave them a bit of an outing on this card too!

This is what I did...

Image - Mimi Stars 4 from stamp fairy
Coloured with copics
Paper Lili of the Valley - petal fresh
