A Spoon full of Sugar - Challenge 10

This weeks theme over at A spoon full of sugar is Animal Magic, you have to use an Animal somewhere on your design. I thought this Hanglar image was perfect and I gave her a grey cat because that's what colour my cat is. She was coloured with Prisma pencils, the papers are Kay Miller. Sentiments are Autumn leaves, I added buttons, Prima flowers and some childrens beads. Ooh and a bit of embroidery thread. Ooh ooh I also did a bit of stitching with the same thread.

Tilda ATC Challenge - Beads

This weeks theme over at the Tilda ATC Challenge blog is beads. I had a good time with this one, I got to sew lots of seed beads onto the lilacs, 52 in total. Tilda was coloured with Prisma pencils. The sentiment is part of an Autumn leaves set.

FRIDAY SKETCHERS 12

This weeks Friday Sketchers 12 is a nice simple layout, which I thought was a good one for a male card, as I have my nephews Birthday coming up and boys don't really like fussy. I have used the downloadable version of AJ from Dinky Dots, I just printed him out on different coloured card then paper pieced him. ( Thanks Sonia ) I have used Shabby Princess papers, Bazzill card stock, ric rac and ribbon and a couple of football brads. Ooh and my new barcode stamps from Autumn leaves - Which I must say are fabulous value for money - You get 30 stamps in this set with some cracking useful sentiments many which you can inter-link.

Whiff of Joy Guest Designer Call

I've been blog hopping again and this time I came across a challenge with a difference, it is to be a Guest designer for Whiff of Joy. You can click on my link HERE and check out Katharinas blog. Whiff of Joy is a new Company with a very cute stamp called Charlotte and her friend called charlie. She will also be selling a new range of stamps by the amazing Elizabeth Bell. So, I thought I would have a go,( any excuse to make another card )Anyway, I stamped Sweet and Sassy by Elizabeth Bell with Stazon, coloured her with Prisma pencils, she has been layered onto Bazzill card stock and 2 different Basic Grey papers. I have used a Make it Crafts, Ribbon slider and Ribbon. Done a couple of embroidery corners added a few gems then topped it off with a touch of stickles.

My Time to Craft - Challenge 23 - Artfully Asian

I've been blog hopping again, I found another challenge site, whoopee, they so give me an excuse to be creative. This challenge blog is called My Time to Craft. This weeks theme is Artfully Asian, ( well it's almost last weeks now, because it closes tonight at 10pm ). Phew, just about made it. Because I don't have much time, I've done an atc. The image is from a scrapbook sheet called Tags Galore - It's by a company called Designs Galore, I bought this sheet of paper 2 years ago when in Australia, visiting my sis. The Blossom stamp is from Paper Insirations. a couple of eyelets a bit of Ribbon and some gems. All stamped and layered on Bazzill. A real quickie. I won't leave it so late next time.

Friday Sketchers - 11

This weeks Friday Sketchers was a nice simple layout. Been playing catch up, so I've only just managed to do mine. The background paper is from a free downloadable set by the lovely Vicki, the zip is an element which is also part of the same set. I've done Tilda sat on the Summer background - Part chalked and the rest Prisma pencils. With some shabby chic flowers, I was going to glaze the flowers but couldn't be bothered waiting for them to dry, so I got out the old sticky back plastic and stuck them face down before cutting out. Same effect much quicker. Some sizzix leaves, the stamped sentiment is from Autumn leaves and gems from my sis.

Lulu and AJ Anniversary card

This is my first attempt with the very excellent Lulu and AJ. I can't wait for the stamp versions of these images as I want to get busy paper piecing them. They are from a new company called Dinky Dots. They are only available as downloads at the moment, but will be available as stamps shortly. I coloured them in with Prisma pencils, layered them on Kay Miller downloadable papers and added a bit of bling. I think I'll probably use this one for some christmas cards as well, I can imagine a nice bit of mistletoe hanging above them. If you would like to check out more designs of these images why not pop over to Alison's blog.

Tilda Challenge - Our Animal Friends

I've been fairly busy this week and I'm playing catch up , so my atc is a little later than usual, but I can't miss the Tilda atc challenges, they're the highlight of my week. I love making these little cuties. I have decoupaged the sheep and cut out a rectangle from the countryside background. Everything has been coloured this week with chalks. I haven't used them for quite a while and I thought they deserved an outing. The heart stamp is a new one that I bought, they are a set of useful small background stamps by a company called paper salon. I then added a sentiment and a few flat back pearl gems.
