Belated Blues

This card uses the VLV Week 4 sketch for January, some K&Co paper, a couple of dies, a simple stamped sentiment from Verve and some decoration.  The flowers are from my box, the leaves are punch with the MS punch and some Stickles have been added to the centres.  The colours are for this week's colour challenge on Splitcoast (CC360).

Valentines Pouch

3D projects and me usually lead to loads of stuff in the bin and nothing worth showing.  Despite that I decided to do this week's  Jugs challenge and combine it with the High Hopes one.  I have used a cute little monkey image from High Hopes, a template from Milkwood designs and a heart die from Memory Box.  The heart stamp used on the background is this month's freebie from Craft Stamper magazine and it was stamped in 3 shades of Adirondack inks.  The monkey was coloured with Copics markers.   It is nothing fantastic but still an achievement for me!

FOSTV Challenge 5 for 2012

Hi - I think it is FOSTV challenge 5 but the weeks come round so quickly I can easily lose track.  With this Monday's challenge I decided to make it harder and create a guy card.  Stupidly I also chose to try the Belleek Pottery challenge with it which meant using pale colours - I did use a bit of chocolate and kraft to add a masculine feel.

My card uses the sentiment "Boys never grow up their toys just get bigger and more expensive" and because this is a sentiment only challenge and because toys can be all sorts I decided a couple of cogs would work well.  The embossing folder used is from Cuttlebug and the dies used are from Spellbinders.  The sentiment is from Mark's Finest Papers and we would love you all to join in our sentiment only challenge this week.

Hope your week goes well and please pop by Speedy TV and the other players blogs.

Hubby's Birthday but Rubbish Weekend!

It's been another crazy week at work and getting this card made has been quite a challenge - note to me - do it earlier next time!  Having felt and been unwell at work on Friday going out for Birthday meals was off the agenda and then I had to work both yesterday and today so Dave's birthday weekend has been a write-off.  He liked his card though and the Big Bang Theory T-Shirt and DVDs Mum and I got him. 



Fortunately we both have tomorrow off so hopefully we get get some time together and enjoy some shopping.







The card is a simple easel card and the cute image is from Lili of the Valley and it was coloured with Copics..  The sentiment is from Verve.


The buttons on the base that help to hold the card up were bought at a craft fair.

Woody is 5 soon!

A friend at work has two doggy friends whose Birthdays she never forgets and I get to make her cards.  This one is for Woody and uses the sketch SC369.


I am also entering the card for the WT359 Challenge - Looking Back.  The idea was to use at least two of the previous challenges and I think I have done that!
I have included stickers (WT357), beads (WT353), digital papers (WT354), a little piercing (WT326), die cuts (WT325), boys stuff (WT320) and it is for a Birthday (WT309).

The stamp is from Penny Black and it was coloured with Copics.  Thanks for looking.

Birthday Time

Its another Monday so that means another challenge over at Friends of Speedy TV (look for challenge 4 later today).

This week it is Birthday cards so another easy one for everyone to take part in.  I noticed the CAS cards that people were doing this week relating to an SCS challenge so that was the basis of my card which uses the Pussy Willow set.
Do join us this week

Morphed Mojo

I started with a High Hopes image and the Mojo Monday sketch and ended up with this little High Hopes Winter Wonderland.  My interpretation of the sketch is a little loose but wanted to use these dies as they give a nice icy feel.  I have added some Frosted Lace Stickles to the icicles.  As you can see I have been making up for a work overloaded week with some creative time this weekend.  Thanks for stopping by.
