Well thats me done for the day, am off to bed now hoping to squeeze some crafting in tomorrow around the chores! TFL

Sketch Saturday #109

Todays card is for the Sketch Saturday challenge this week. I have used Papermania For Him papers, coredinations cs, papermania peeloffs and card candy. The image is another of TGF Roll Call and this little fella is called Dylan and I have coloured him using copics and a touch of stardust. TFL hope you are all enjoying lovely weather where you are, its been very hot here again today. x

Crafty Sentiments #22 & Sketch Saturday #108

This card covers 2 challenges and because Crafty Sentiments changed their challenge rules to allow any stamps to be used and also because they are giving away a free digi image here I was able to take part again in their great challenges.

Crafty Sentiments #22 Black, Pink & White ~ papers are Dovecraft A Hint Of Pink and some pink cs, the image is their freebie 'Sammy Snail' and I have used a pink flower from my party bag stash that I won and 2 little ribbon flowers from my stash.

Sketch Saturday #108 ~ Card made following this weeks sketch, as soon as I saw it this morning I knew I had to use it with the image I had chosen for the CS challenge!

TFL off to do some more crafting!

CCT #114 and Sketch Saturday #105

Ok now this card looks really simple and for the most part it was fairly simple to put together but I really struggled with the little flowers I tried lots of different things before I remembered I had these and then that was it finished. I coloured the image (which is a papermania botanicals) with copics and used the feather blending technique for the first time. You can find a brilliant tutorial here by Sammi over at the Mad For Markers blog. This card is for 2 challenges.

Sketch Saturday #105

Cute Card Thursday #114 - No Designer Papers - cs is coredinations and the ribbon and flowers are all from my stash. TFL

2 great challenges combined for this card

Crafty Sentiments #18 Pink, Purple + 1 neutral (struggled with the colours a bit here)

Sketch Saturday #104

Image is a Tilda which was sent to me and the papers are a digi kit called Love NOtes by Digi Designs by Nicole

Copic Colour Challenge #64 & Sketch Saturday #103

Combined 2 great challenges for this card and I'm really pleased with how it turned out as last night couldnt quite get it but this morning it worked so thats a relief!

Copic Colour Challenge #64 Goo, BG23 & BV02 had all of them! and added a few of my others too!

Sketch Saturday #103 papers are a mixture from my scrap drawers, cs is coredinations, big flowers are Prima e-line and the little ones I got at a craft stall and I coloured them with BV02 to match the image which is 'a gift for mum' part of the Sugar and Spice collection from Charmed Cards & Crafts.

I'm off to work now, TFL see you all soon. xx

5 challenges in 1 card

Well I am so behind on my challenges this week that in the end this card has managed to fit in with 5 YES 5 different challenges! Dotties World asked for stitching (and a charmed download of course) I used Mikey at the beach, Cute Card Thursday was Boyz to Men, Crafty Sentiments was to include buttons, Stamp Something was Birthday something and the sketch I followed is this weeks sketch from Sketch Saturday. Papers are from a digi kit by Sweet Blossom Designs called Numb3rs and the buttons are from my stash. TFL I'm off to try and leave some comments on some of your blogs.

Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge & Sketch Saturday

but only just! I have followed the sketch from Sketch Saturday and used the theme of friends from Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge for this card which is a bit different for me and as such I'm not sure I like it or not. Anyway the papers (which I love) are MME Wild Asparagus, the sentiment in the middle is a rub on I have had since I began and the friends forever sentiment is a cuttlebug die which was teamed with an embossing folder that I just had to have! first time I've used this sentiment there are 5 all together on the die. Hope you like it I'm off to bed! TFL

Sketch Saturday #100 & SCSC #80 Distressing

Made this card this afternoon to cover 2 challenges, the sketch over at Sketch Saturday and Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge which this week is distressing. I have embossed and sanded my coredinations cs and inked the edges of the glitter card from the DCWV Glitter Stack and the image, the image is from the Dressy Anya collection coloured with copics and a tiny bit of sakura stardust, the other elements are Papermania and from the capsule collection - Heather (except the yellow brad) The buttons are actually polka dotted on the other side but that didnt really work so flipped them instead. TFL now back to crafting!lol

1 card 3 challenges

Right I'm starting the week with a combined card. PaperTake Weekly requested Lilac & Lemon, I followed the sketch from Sketch Saturday and the theme over at Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge was Spring has Sprung. Image was sent to me by Sammi and I have coloured her using copics and a splash of stardust, paper is from a scrapbook kit I got in the £1 shop a couple of years ago, cs is coredinations and I've punched the border using the xcut border system and some tonic studios punches then added 3 of the tiny butterfly punch outs on the corner of the image. I have also stamped and embossed with silver pearl powder some butterflies which are from the new Papermania Botanicals build a range (Havent done the big one yet!). TFL

Sketch Saturday #94

Only just making it this week for the sketch over at Sketch Saturday, paper is papermania For Him flowers and brad from my stash and the image is a freebie from this months stamps with Papercraft Inspirations, coloured with copics, ribbon is also papermania. TFL

Copic Colour Challenge & Sketch Saturday #93

Another combo card tonight this time its for the Copic Colour Challenge and I didnt actually have any of the colours they were looking for so I used my closest which were BG01 & 05, B95 and Y17. I followed the sketch from Sketch Saturday and the image is a stamp I won a while back by Dare 2 Stamp, the paper is Raspberry Road Cowgirl Cool Addon, I added some glamour dust to the cut out in the corner but it doesnt really show in the pic and the sentiment is some metallic confettii that I found whilst sorting out my craft room (which is a slow progress!) but I love finding things I had forgotten I had!lol TFL Sorry bout the wonky picture.

another 4 in 1 card!

Well my crafting time has been somewhat limited recently unfortunately so this card has covered 4 challenges! Sketch from Sketch Saturday, Stamp Something theme of Spring Something - cute image from Polloycraft Designs, Cute Card Thursday - Ribbon-tastic - little ribbon roses (new stash!) and Copic Colour Challenge - YG03 (I used YG23) Y17 (I had this one!) and C-7 (I used C-1) Papers are digi kit called Festival by Shabby Princess. TFL Hope to manage to get round and do some visiting and commenting over the next couple of days as I have 3 days off work! Yipeeeeee! lol

Anya Ink - Monochromatic & Sketch Saturday #90

I have combined the 'monochromatic' challenge over at Anya Ink with the sketch over at Sketch Saturday and this is what I came up with. I went for greys and used Anya Rain coloured with copics and sakura glaze pens with a touch of sakura stardust, matted her onto some silver mirricard which I embossed with raindrops texture plate by fiskars. The papers are from A Hint Of Pink(!) by Kate Knight - Dovecraft, the sentiment I did on the computer and the flowers were some I got today a little bunch of white ones for £1 in the works which I then coloured grey with copics and then added a leaf punch and some faux stitching. Right time to try and get another card made. TFL

Dotties World - Be My Valentine & Sketch Saturday #89

So here is a Valentine card for the challenge over at Dotties World, I have used the oh so cute Dottie dressed up as a little devil from the halloween collection and I have used the sketch from Sketch Saturday. All the other pieces of my card are using bits and pieces from my scraps drawers and I embossed the black cs with a Big Shot embossing plate of paisley pattern. Now its done I'm not so sure about the black hearts (quickcutz die) but I tried them in red and I tried 1 of each colour and they didnt work but when I first did this I thought it worked and now I dont know! lol never mind! TFL

Stamp Something - Funny Something & Sketch Saturday #87

The challenge over at Stamp Something was to make something funny - well I adore this image of Scruff in the bath which was a freebie from Dotties World and I thought that the sentiment just worked perfectly and is from the Girls About Town collection available at Charmed Cards & Crafts and then I used the sketch from Sketch Saturday and turned it round 90 degrees. The paper is part of a digi kit that I have had lying around in the drawer for ages and it is made by Digi Designs By Nicole. I embossed the cs with swiss dots and then added some clear epoxy stickers to the corners and then a few randomly placed ones to continue with the bubbles. TFL

4 challenges in 1 card

I used a Mikey image available from Charmed Cards & Crafts coloured with copics, papers are K-Ology Addison, some silver mirricard peeloffs and stones (coloured with copics) for this card which is actually for the following 4 challenges:-

Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge #66 - Musical

Sketch Saturday #86

Spoon Full Of Sugar #87 - Lots of Layering - think I got about 6 or 7 different layers on.

Copic Colour Challenge #48 - G21, B45, R85 - I actually only had B45 but I also used B95, YG63, 67. R00, 11, 35, E35, 37 BG23 and YR16

Sorry about the quality of the pic but too much shiny card and artifical light not the best combo!TFL xx

MTTC - Blue & Brown and Sketch Saturday # 85

I have again managed to combine 2 challenges this time they are My Time To Craft - Blue & Brown and Sketch Saturday #85. I really like blue and brown as a colour combo and I have managed to use some more of my scraps and oddments with this card. The paper is from a digi kit by Raspberry Road but I cant remember the name of it at the moment but I recall printing of several sheets from the kit and not knowing which ones I was going to use at the time andthis piece obviously didnt make it so got put in the draw for another time (I do that a lot! lol) The cs is old pieces that have been sat around too. Ribbon, gems button and bloom are all from my stash, I coloured the bloom with copic to match the card and added sakura stardust to the wooden button so that it matched the flower in th e image which is from the Daisy & Dandelion range coloured with copics and sakuras, sentiment is also from the same range. TFL

Anya Ink : Black & White + 1 and Sketch Saturday #84

As I'm a bit behind with my challenges this week I have doubled up again on this one. Its for the Anya Ink challenge which is black & white + 1 which I have done as pink and it is based on the sketch over at Sketch Saturday. The Miss Anya stamped image is one that I received as part of some blog candy and its the last one, I really must get this set! she is coloured with copics and a touch of sakura stardust for her boots, papers are Dovecraft A Hint of Pink and the wooden flowers are from my local craft shop. I'm actually not too sure about this card but Ria loves it!lol

Another Christmas Card

This one is actually based on a Sketch Saturday sketch that I didnt get chance to fulfill at the time but liked the sketch anyway - definately one to use again aswell. Image is Miss Anya coloured with copics and some stickles added, paper is PaperMania, snowflakes are Anitas and Ribbon is a freebie from a magazine ages ago. TFL, lets see if I can get another one done! lol
