Space Man.......

Good afternoon all!

 I have a card to share with you today!

I was planning to post this on the recipients birthday but....

I forgot to post the actual card to the recipient so I had to wait! lol
So Sorry Aryan!

This is a fairly simple card, made using a La Pashe decoupage sheet from

The Best Of La Pashe 2014 CD Rom.

All the time I was making it, I was singing the brilliant

 Babylon Zoo - SpaceMan to myself! I love that song!

The base card is 6"x6". I simply cut & layered the decoupage using

foam pads, then did a bit of matting & layering with silver mirror card.

I found a clock face in my die cut box, which I thought looked a bit

space-like. I cut it in half & tucked it behind the image.

A sprinkling of various sizes of punched stars were dotted around in the 

night sky to finish it off.

The sentiment was from the sheet too!

Thanks for popping in! I hope you like my little card!

Good Morning everyone! 

It's Monday once again & time for this weeks challenge over at

Eureka Stamps, where the theme is

#158 Fall Sports - Football/Soccer/Cheerleader

The cute little image I have used is

Digi 14203 Soccer Boy

(It gets a bit confusing, as we call Soccer football in the UK! Lol)

I used a 6"x6" square base in grass green.

The papers are by Papermania & I've had them forever.

I coloured the image with my promarkers, then cut out 

with an X-cut square die. 

I inked around the edges with a Colour Q 

liquid chalk ink pad, while the image was still in the die.

The sentiment was printed, trimmed & then inked.

The photo corners are from a Sports themed scrapbooking set 

that I found in a bargain bin at a craft show.

 I do love a bargain, don't you?

The die cut trophy is from a blog candy that I won years ago.

The little die cut fishtail was in my scrapbox,. 

Thanks so much for popping in today, I hope you like my card &

The card I've made today is for a Birthday Boy who's 6 today!

Happy Birthday Brandyn!

The cute little boy image is Bradley With Football from 

The Crafty Pad @ Card Making Downloads

I've had the image in my folder to be coloured for ages. He's been flipped to

face the opposite direction, I can't quite remember why!

I coloured him up with a mix of flexmarkers & Prisma Pencils.

He was the layered on to some scraps of card from my stash.

The card base is a 6"x6" kraft blank & the dotty paper is from La Pashe

The sentiment was also in my folder & I liked how it looked

with the image. I die cut it with a square die to give the effect of the label.

I used the trimmings from the base card & DP to add the mat.

I used a green liquid chalk inkpad on the edges of the image etc but

you can't see it very well!

Finally, to embellish, I added a large button with some sparkly dots on & a 

sparkly no.6  toBradley's jumper.

 Inside the card is a layer of the dotty DP with a die cut square to write on.

The DP's are from the CD too!

There are so many papers, which would be perfect for so many things,

Here's a closer look, I cut him out & layered with pinflair gel,

then matted & layered on to an 8x8in card blank.

Good morning all!

My goodness, I can't believe it's Thursday already!

That's what happens when you go gadding off for long weekends abroad! lol

So, it's time to share a card with you all for Just Inklined

Here's what I made

 A First Birthday Card for a baby boy!

The image I have chosen this time is

Baby Drum

Such a cute image, whenever I saw him I new I had to have a play.

I coloured him up with promarkers & flexmarkers then

added a little bit of Antique Linen Distress Ink.

I did think to ink all the panels but I didn't like the look so

I started again! lol

I used the sketch below for my card

Try Stampin on Tuesday

I added a panel which was embossed with a Honeycomb embossing folder

behind the image. The papers I have used are from Southfield Stationers.

The script paper is the Nursery Ryhme Little Boy Blue.

I thought the sheep paper was the perfect partner.

The sentiment was printed out with the image & cut with a

Spellbinders Die. I also added a couple of buttons threaded with twine,
(my favourite embellishments) from my stash.
