Sweet Stampin' Challenge

Saturday and another new challenge at

Sweet Stampin'

 

This week the theme from Team Abi is

Chevrons Or Stripes

 

Another Halloween card. (Yes I love Halloween) 

I've used this fab digi stamp from Digi Doodle Studios called Witchy Shoes. I've coloured it with my copic markers. The papers are from Doodlebug which I love. I cut the spiders web corners using a Cheery Lynn doe and added them to three of the corners. I printed the sentiment on my PC and added it to the top right. A few sequins to finish it off.

I'd love boots like that!

This week the theme from Team Susan is

Halloween 

I'm joining in with Team Susan this week as I love Halloween. I've used this cute witch digi from Molly Harrison. I coloured her with my copic markers.I masked her off and inked the moon with Squeezed Lemonade and Spiced Marmalade Distree Oxides. I then cut her out. I inked some card with Seedless Preserves and Blueprint Sketch Distress Oxides than spritzed it with water. Left it to dry then attached the coloured image.I then matted it onto some black card. I matted the Doodlebug papers onto some black card too.Once I had fixed the image onto the card I cut out the Happy Halloween in white and matted it onto black then attached in top right corner. I cut the brrmstick from kraft card and added it. A couple of sets of googly eyes to finish off.

 

 They're watching you!.......

My project for this challenge theme is a Halloween House. Be prepared as there are lots of photos. I've had this little wooden house for about 4 years. It's about 12" high. I painted it black and added Halloween papers to the back.The witch digi is Art By Miran "Witch Hazel". The tiny bottles are Tim Holtz and filled with Stickles.The tiny labels I printed from the internet. I made the crystal ball using some jewellery spacers and a glass bead. The little pumpkins were given to me by my lovely friend Susan and they were just perfect.

My Fair Lady

I was asked to make a 50th Birthday card and decided to use this digi image from Sassy Studio Designs. I've coloured her with my copic markers.The card is cut using a Go Kreate die and the white paper is actually embossed although it's not showing very well.It's by Doodlebug.The ribbon,maribou feathers and satin flowers are all from a local haberdashers. The sentiment I printed on the PC and cut out using a Spellbinders Fancy Tag die. The bling round it is made specifically for these dies and you just peel them and stick.







I still feel there's something missing from this card. Not sure what though.Probably the fact it's pretty plain and simple for me..lol

Simply Sassy

Made this card a few weeks back.It's one of the fabby Simply Sassy range from Sugar Nellie.Krista the artist has some fantastic images and they've been made into rubber stamps which are just a dream to colour.It's an odd shaped card as it was originally an 8x8 scalloped but I cut the top and bottom scallops off as I'd originally planned to enter it in a sketch challenge a few weeks ago,but as usual never got it posted in time. The gorgeous papers are Nitwits,but not the digi download ones.These I bought last summer in my yearly pilgrimage to Sugar Nellie's bricks and mortar shop in Elgin

Rockdude

This is a card I was asked to make by my friend Stu for his best friend's birthday. They're both rockdude's and play guitar so I decided to use this Kenny K digi image called Rock Dude.
I wanted the card to look like ripped jeans,so used denim effect paper and ripped a hole in it where I stamped the sentiment. I used my Zutter Distrezz-It-All around all the edges. I love this gadget as it saves time and can do more than one sheet at a time. I used my white highlighter pen to do the faux stitches.Added the little pocket and the music charm. Simples!

I'm also delighted to receive an award from Shazza at a Time To Craft. I've not been blogging for a while but Shazza always visits and comments.If not here on Facebook.So I can't thank her enough.

There are a couple of conditions for the award.

You have been TAGGED and want to participate? Then create a post where you post the 'LOVE BLOG' image. You should also blog the persons link that gave you the award and inform her/him that you accept the award. You can then choose 3 - 5 favourite blogs which you also link in your post, then each blogger will inform you that they have been tagged

The aim of this action is that we bring unknown, good blogs to light,so I would ask you not to blog fellow bloggers that already have 3,000 followers

I'm just going to post a few blogs as I look at so many but just want to highlight these as they always leave comments on my blog,even if I've been gone a while

I've just realised I've forgotten to use my white highlighter pen....doooohhhh. The little buttons I also coloured with my copics to match as they were plain white.

So I'm entering her in Colour Create Challenge 30 - All White (except image),Digital Tuesday - Things With Wings,ABC Challenge - F Is For Flying,Daring Cardmakers - 5 Favourite Things (Copic Markers,Nestabilities,Doodlebug,Glamour Dust,Flowers,Lace,Jewels, WhiteInk Essential Pen) and finally PaperPlay Challenge - Favourite Embellishment (Flowers)

I also met up with some of my lovely bloggy buddies at the SECC on Thursday at the Craft show.We had a fab time and I spent too much...lol.My feet were killing me,but on the good side I heard Fleetwood Mac rehearsing for their concert that night.
So a big thank you to Kath,Lorraine,Gayle,Judy and her sister,Allison,Ann and my friend Janice for making it such a fantastic day.I also bumped into another fellow blogger a few times on the way round too.Laurane also has her own blog.
Here's a picture of the stash I bought.

Miss Anya

This anya image i've had coloured for a wee while,in fact the whole card has been made up apart from the sentiment.I don't know about anyone else but the sentiment is always the bit I hate doing the most.I don't know why,but it's always the last bit to get done and quite a lot of the time I have cards sitting around just waiting on the sentiment to be put on.
This is a miss anya from the dressy set.I think this is a really pretty image.For some reason I picture her talking with a Southern American drawl.Or maybe that's just because I've been reading the True Blood series of books and watching the show.....lol.
Anyway,enough waffling.She's been coloured with copics and I've used the scrummy Doodlebug papers that I'd been hoarding and looking at for a few months.

Took Louis to see the Pixar movie Up yesterday which he loved (so did I),and tomorrow he starts swimming lessons which he's looking forward too.He just wants to be able to wear goggles and go underwater...lol.I've done a bit of crafting but have been busy with my nose stuck in a book reading.I don't read for ages and then I can't get enough of them.I finished the Twilight series a few weeks ago and watched the movie.I know...way behind everyone else.I'm really enjoying the True Blood series of books though and am now on book 3.Dream Theater were fantastic on sunday night (as were Opeth).Looking forward to Black Stone Cherry on Saturday night.I saw them as support to Def Leppard and Whitesnake a few years ago,but this is them headlining this time.I'm getting such a groupie in my old age...lol

Card For Amy

My matey Stu asked me to make a card for his friend's little girls 1st birthday.He chose the Gorjuss girl image himself from my many...lol.I have to thank him for taking the picture too as I posted it off to him without taking any myself....dooohhh.That wasn't the first time either.....lol.
It's based on the Sugar Bowl sketch from a week or so ago,but as usual I didn't get it uploaded on time.Must try to get more organised.(hahaha) I also made a matching box to go with it.

On the subject of Gorjuss girls.I ordered a Gorjuss girl canvas wrap which was to be a present from my mum for my birthday.It arrived today,but it was only a print,not a canvas.I was so looking forward to it too.I've had to email them about it,so will have to wait until I hear from them.Fingers crossed it all gets sorted soon.

**Update on Canvas***

Gorjuss girl canvas arrived safe and well this afternoon.Phewwwww

Doodlebug House

I've always thought these wee houses never really served much purpose,but looked really cute. So when Craftology had them in stock I thought I'd buy one and give it a try. I decided to use some of my Brenda Pinnick kit to decorate it.I was quite pleased with how it turned out, then again I had gorgeous papers to work with. I emailed Brenda a picture of it and was gobsmacked when she emailed me back asking if she could put it on her blog. Would I mind?.................of course not!
So here's my wee house that had a few moments of fame.
