Friends!!!

First time in months that I have created a card using something other than a person or animal (inanimate object, I think it is known as) I followed the sketch over at Basic Grey Challenges, the image is digi from Whoopsie Daisy, coloured with my copics, DP is BG Porcelain, brads are BG, flowers are Wild Orchid, ribbon from my stash. I am also entering this in If the Shoe Fits Scrap It - Photo Inspiration Challenge - I used pinks, greens, creams from the photo.

Girls They Wanna Have Fun!!!

Yesterday, after being frozen at soccer (my Neeky was player of the day and got $5 - she more excited about the $5 than the player of the day part...and I didn't have the heart to tell her that at her age everyone gets to be player of the day once) and frozen at netball (got the time wrong and the Wahs missed her first half) I settled down to create. I used the Papertake WEeekly sketch and a image from Sassy Cheryl's which I coloured with my copics, DP is BG "Bittersweet", flowers are Wild Orchid, punches are Martha Stewart, ribbon is SU and sentiment is one I've had awhile. I am also entering this in the Sassy Cheryl's Challenge - punches.

Thanks...For Your Help!!!

Was making this card last night, when Sookie (my beloved foldy baby) decided to assist me...card finished and put aside she plonked her rather substantial buttocks dead centre and sprawled over the rest...of course, being as cute as she is I couldn't make her move and thus my little flowers are now irrepairably flattened!
I followed the sketch over at IC Sketches, and used a Karens Doodles image which I coloured with my copics. DP is MME "Ooh La La", I used my new Martha Stewart punch around the square and made the flowers myself (assisted by Sookie in flattening them for me). I am also entering this in the following:
Karens Doodles - stitching (I false stitched around the edges of the card, because I don't sew...DH does that for me and asking him to sew a card wouldn't have gone down too well)
The Shabby Tea Room - Polka Dots or Tea Party (you could see heaps of Polka Dots until I tried out my new punch - I didn't realise the square would get that big, and it left me with only a little bit of Polka Dot)
Digital Tuesday - Cute People (can't get much cuter than a Princess on a horse)

Have a great day everyone, its still raining here so card making is on my agenda.

Simply Simple!!!

I'm having one of those days where I know what I want to do...I just can't be bothered doing it, so kept this card ultra simple (basically followed the sketch and added nothing extra).
I followed the sketch at Tuesday Morning Sketches, used a Meljens image, coloured with my copics. DP is Kaiser "Plush Empress", flowers, brady things and charm are from my stash (which would be decreasing nicely if I stopped shopping). I am also entering the following challenges:
Creative Cottage - Blooming Charming (I have flowers and a charm on my card)
Creative Card Crew - Pink and Green (Yup, I have pink and green on my card)

Now, I am going to huddle by the fire and watch a movie as its freezing here.

Christmas in May!!!

Ok, I said it, that word that brings chills to the wallet - Christmas, Narny and I decided we needed to start making christmas cards now so that by Christmas we would have a selection of nice cards and not a selection of rushed cards. This card uses the Stamp with Fun sketch challenge, image is from Chrissy Armstrong coloured with my copics, paper is Kaiser "Christmas Carnival", flowers, pearls and buttons are from my stash and punch is MS, text is created by me. I am also entering this card in the following Challenges:
Sundays with Chrissy - Layers (Under Santa to the right I have 6 layers of different papers and cardstock)
One Stitch at a Time - Furry friends (who can resist that little birdie)
Pile It On - Out of the Box (I never cut things out of my DP, so its "Out of My Comfort Box" to cut out that tree in the left corner and use it on a card)

Ok, have to go start my baked potatoes to go with my roast dinner mmmmmm I love winter just for the food (although I do have a very umm unusual diet...I am a little fussy).

Going Dotty!!!

I'm having a bit of a bad card day, had an idea in mind when I started, but finished product differs greatly!!!

Pain, Pain Go Away!!!

Took Neeky to her soccer practice tonight (against my will, as I hate the cold), and I should've trusted my instincts, thats right, after practice they had a kids V's parents game (managed to get out of that one), then they had a girls V's boys game and Neeky dragged me onto the field. Now, for those of you who don't know me well, I am very accident prone and am not very sporty - you know the kid picked last ... yup, thats me. So onto the field I dragged, managed to actually kick the ball a couple of times...and one poor dads shins another time...and I am very good at air kicks:), then ... yup, I fell over, and as seems to be the current trend with me attending school sporting events, I landed on a poor soccer child (it's ok, she survived, even handed me my glasses and car keys that went flying). So I now have a pain in my shoulder, which doesn't feel too bad because it is dulled from the pain in my knee and wrist from work yesterday when I fell UP the stairs!!!

Scrumdiddlyumptious!!!

One of my greatest passions in life is food...almost always the sweet kind, so I enjoyed myself creating this mouth watering card...only problem...can't eat it!!!
I followed the sketch over at Truely Scrumptious, using Kaiser "Wish Upon" DP, the image is a KLM digi and coloured with my copics, I cut it out and raised it on dots, added some prima bling, flowers from my stash and lightly distressed the DP. I am also entering this card in the following challenges:

Pixie Dust - cut it out (did it)
Pile It On - Inspirational Photo (so I used soft pink, green and a darker green from the photo)
City Crafter - Colour Challenge I used soft pink, green)

Just had a blast creating the above card (who knew horses could be so much fun). I followed the Sketch over at The Townscrapper, DP is Kaiser "Old World", image is a Crissy Armstrong digi from Whimsy stamps coloured with my copics, brads are BG, I distressed them to match the look of everything else, buttons are from my stash and text and those leather thingies I made myself. I am also entering this in the following challenges:

My Foldy...My Helper!!!

I was rearranging my craft room the other night (yes...again, Trace and Viv) and Sookie decided to help me out as she felt it was bedtime and I wasn't heading in that direction. I had taken the bottom two drawers out to sort my stuff and next thing my chubby foldy squeezed her body through the gap, she thought it was a great hiding place and had a blast...my only concern was her getting out of the smallest hole (where her head is in the above photo) Sookie thought because her head fit the rest of her would too...and it did.......after alot of writhing, tugging and squeezing on her part!!!

Hanging Out!!!

Neeky told me, I didn't do my colours very well "and it doesn't match" (her words), Image is Sassy Cheryl (for the Sassy Cheryl Challenge) coloured with copics, DP is BG "Colour Me Silly", flower, ribbon and bling from my stash. This is for the following challenges:

The hardest part was deciding which white to use - yellowish white, creamy white, bright white, sparkly white, flat white...Image is Sassy Cheryl, card is covered with ribbon, then I cuttlebugged some pearl card stock, added pearl ribbon strips and embellishments, and pearly looking flowers to finish - this was so much fun. I am also entering my card in the Just Us Girls Challenge - sketch.
