Just Had To Share!

Hi all!

I can't help it, 

I tried not to but it's just too good!

Forever friends are having a 48hr giveaway

You could win these!

Pop on over & join in!

Good Luck all but I hope it's me!

Happy Birthday Steph!

Good morning Bloggers,

Happy Saturday to you all!

I hope the weather is a bit nicer where you are as it's 

persisting down with rain here!

I have a card to share with you today!

I had so much fun making this one!

The image is Birthday Nikki from Ladybug Crafts Ink!

She was a prize I won in a challenge ages ago.

This is the first time I have inked her up!

I'm so glad I did! She's just adorable!

She made me think of the old Altered Images song Happy Birthday

The papers are from a 12x12inch book which I got in Lidl ages ago!

Not somewhere I immediately think of for my craft supplies but 

I'm always pleasantly surprised when I find these crafty bits.

I used the sketch from Sunday Sketch & Stamp

for the layout. Great sketch!

The bunting banner is from Whimsy Stamps, another prize!

I'm such a lucky girl!

Did you see the tiny wee poodle beside the hatbox?

I coloured everything with a combination of

 Flexmarkers & Promarkers, then distressed the edges & 

inked with a little inkpad,

I made the circle sentiment in my graphics programme!

Silly me got the age wrong!  lol 

The recipient assures me she is in fact only 21!

I also added ribbon from my stash which I tied with a double bow

The inside of the card leaving plenty of space to be signed.

A side view, just because!

I'm going to use a phrase a friend did when talking about one of her creations,

I totally fell in love with this card!!!

Thanks for stopping by & have a fab day!

I'm off to check out the challenges on Feline Playful!

Good Morning Lovely Bloggers!

It's the second Wednesday of the month & that means it's time for the 

Freebie/ Guest Designer Challenge

at Dude Time Doodles!

Whoop whoop!

Here's how it works:

Boni, the owner of Dude Time Doodles AKA Bonibleaux Designs

puts up a freebie image on the challenge blog,

 You are invited to snag the freebie & make something

amusing & amazing for a Dude using said freebie!

Then link up your creation on the challenge blog

You have just one week to do this. 

The winner will Guest Design with the Dude & Dudettes 

for the whole of next month

Sound interesting??? Wanna Play???

Get your self over to Dude Time Doodles & snag that freebie!

Here's what I made!

It's a little "Good Luck In Your New Job card!"

I kept it fairly simple as I didn't want the joke to get lost!

Do you get it??? Tee hee...

Once I got the idea in my head I couldn't stop singing the Tina Turner song 

"I don't want two loos you" lol

The freebie image is called Johnny On The Spot.

I added it twice to a piece of card then printed off three sets 

to allow me to layer it up. I shaded the image with a Flexmarker 

 to add some shadowing although it's difficult to see in the photo.

I cut out & layered  using Pinflair glue for a bit of dimension.

The card base is A6 made from half a sheet of A4 card.

 I printed the sentiment straight onto the card.

The font is Andy

The DP I have used is Papermania & the sentiment ticket was made 

especially for meby Deborah Moore from The Crafty Pad Designs. 

I inked all of the elements using Colourbox Q inkpads in yellow& pink

I decorated the inside of the card for a bit of interest. 

I added a strip of DP which I punched with a 

Martha Stewart Lace Doily Border Punch.

Thanks for stopping by, I hope you can join in the challenge!

Let's Hear It For The Boys!

Good Morning Bloggers!

Today see's the start of this weeks brand new challenge at 

The Crafty Pad

This weeks theme chosen by little old me is

#174 Let's Hear It For The Boys

With Father's Day fast approaching here in the UK, we'd like to see
your creations to celebrate either

Father's Day Or A Special Man In Your Life!

Easy Peasy huh??? We'll see you over there!!!

My card is a Father's Day Card.

The Image & Papers are both from The Crafty Pad Designs

I Love My Daddy - Daughter UNcoloured Image & Sentimet

One For The Boys Digital Backing Papers.

The base card is A5, made by scoring & folding an A4 sheet of cardstock.

I played about with the layout, adding lots of layers. 

The image was coloured with  a combination of

Promarkers & Flexmarkers. I only recently began using 

Flexmarkers & I'm liking them a lot!

Think I have to get me some more! lol

The sentiment, is one of the two that come with the image.

(The other is a Happy Birthday sentiment.)

I cut it out with an inverted scallop nestie then matted onto a 

scalloped circle of cardstock.

I popped it on some foam pads for dimension then

added a ribbon bow & a little saw charm.

to finish off embellishing my card I added some silver Card Candi.
