#73 New to You

Oh my goodness what a busy weekend!

It seemed like I had a houseful of children with the amount of cleaning involved, but it was actually just two.  My youngest and his tomboy best friend!  Boy can they make noise and mess like the best!  Saying that, it was great to hear the screams of laughter coming from them.

This week we were sponsored by the lovely Scrappers Delights…I really enjoy playing around with their cute images. 

The theme was new to you so I literally used anything that was new to me in the last month. 

So that included Draco part of the lovely digi duo I had chosen to play around with.  Along with the papers, ribbon, metallic card and buttons! So this card is literally NEW!

I made two versions of this one…the one above a little tongue in cheek saying that Beauty is in the eye of the beholder… he is a cute dragon but he looks kinda sad so I thought aha we will go the tongue in cheek route.  But then a little voice behind me said what an awesome card, wouldn’t mind it for my birthday! So I made up version number two exactly the same with a different sentiment.

  

So here he is with love …..

Next a close up of the wee chappie he is soo cute! And yes I know I have said that before lol.  

  

Another close up of the buttons I included … i stacked two buttons and then added a green bling gem.

So there you have it a cute version with two different options of sentiment!

Enjoy

Last challenge of the year! Anything goes with Scrappers Delights

Hi there!

Are we  ready for Christmas?  I jolly well hope you are either finished or near enough as shopping is crazy!  I really hate queues and crowds so i will let you into a little secret.....i never even went out of my front door!  Yes for the first time ever i did all of my shopping online and i was amazed that i didn't have to send back even one item! 

 So, OK its going to be hectic over Christmas but what fun to have family with you during that time...i just love having my boys visit and spend time with their younger brother..

 I thought i would leave you for the last challenge of 2015 with my favorite digi from Scrappers Delights.

This week at Scrappers Delights

we have an Anything goes challenge with a twist of Anything goes! Yes you read it right lol literally anything goes.

So i really like this digi as she is so versatile.  Great for a Christmas or wintry card.

I made a card blank out of some gorgeous green card that had holly on the bottom and snowy blurred edges.

I used two types of ribbon.  My red mesh that i love to use and a Christmas ribbon showing holly and snowflakes.

I finally got around to using some foiled sentiments that a friend sent my way.

Her hair is my favorite hair combo of E 33,35,37 and 39

and my favorite red combo of R 35, 37, and 39.

I had much fun embellishing with liquid applique on her dress, muff and hat band.  That stuff really bubbles when you add a little heat! I love it!

I finished the card off by adding a poinsettia and some berries.

I wish you all a lovely Christmas and much fun during your New year celebrations!!

Bye for now

Scrappers Delights - and Non traditional Christmas colours!

Hi there!

Are we almost ready for Christmas?  I jolly well hope you are either finished or near enough as shopping is crazy!  I really hate queues and crowds.

This week at Scrappers Delights

we have an Anything goes challenge with a twist of non traditional Christmas colours.

So me being me i decided to hide the image...

I made a gatefold card and matted all sides with a coloured snowflake card.  I then added a die cut of a snowman and background which i had previously glittered.

Now inside is where i added my picture of Victorian digi 2 which is easy to colour. 

 I used B 000, 00,01,02 for the dress and hat.  The jacket was lighter in B 0000, 000, 00.  Skin combo is E 00, 01,11,21 with R 20 for her cheeks. Her hair was a slightly different combo this time by using a YR combo.

I used really fine glitter that was recommended to me by a few friends to give it a Christmas look.  I then finished off the inside with some lovely cream and blue flowers and a Christmas sentiment stamp, that i really like.

I hope you like my inside out card lol....and look forward to seeing your lovely creations.

Scrappers Delights - Anything goes with a twist of paper piecing

Morning!
What a lovely couple of autumnal days full of sunshine! A chill in the air just how i like it, and unusual for November.  This week i have the paper piecing challenge from Scrappers Delights
for you  Well as a twist anyway as you know it is always Anything goes.

So pop over to the store and have a looksee as you may find the perfect digi for your project!

 My digi image this week for the paper piecing is Emo Honey 1  and she is kinda cute and easy to colour.

You can follow this link to the Scrappers Delights blog for the challenge!  It runs for two weeks so you have plenty of time to come along and join in!

Ok so my DT make for you this week is this card its a 6x6 a size i tend to work with.

I am one of these Crafters that at the moment i colour may image first and then match in my papers and elements after...i have tried it the other way by choosing a colour scheme etc and then colouring but i really dont like doing it that way for some reason...weird huh?

So this week i paper pieced her jacket and skirt in a brown paper as i am not a lover of fussy patterns when paper piecing as i find it distract me and i am never happy with it.

I coloured her hair with a Yr 21, 23, 24, 27 combo and added two BV and B combos into the streaks one is more purple based colour the the other more bluer.

The hearts are R 20, 21, 22 and the skin is a combo of E 00,01,11,21.  The bear was almost all of my E 30's.

I used twine and a cute red strawberry embellishment to pick up the red hearts in her hair and the papers picked up other elements from the digi colour. The papers as always i skim through my paper stash for the colours i am happy with for matting and layering. My first attempt at paper piecing as i really try to avoid  and i don't think it turned out too bad.

I intend to enter into the following challenges:

Scrappers Delight - Anything goes with a twist of HALLOWEEN!

Halloween is on its way and Charlie cant wait to put up the decorations my lovely friend Lucy sent during the summerween swap in the summer.  bless him he has been champing at the bit since they arrived lol.

Now today i have a  lovely Halloween digi for you from the lovely Scrappers Delights.

  She is called Halloween Anna Mae 1 and she is kinda cute.

You can follow this link to the Scrappers Delights blog for the challenge!  It runs for two weeks so you have plenty of time to come along and join in!

I did have an issue with my orange copic....i was happily colouring the pumpkin and suddenly a gurt drop splodged onto the page!  I cleared it up as best as i can but hey she is done and i think she looks grand!

I loved colouring her hair, well i always do lol.  I used YR 21, 23, 24, and 27.  I kept the card simple and straight forward with no fancy die cutting. I just rounded the edges of the corners and mounted her onto orange and then black and orange spotted card from a Recollections Halloween pad.

I added the windmill Halloween flourish and the BOO banner and finished her off with a bit of boo ribbon and some black stick on pearls. 

Now i know what you are going to think...hey you didn't finish colouring her the crass and stones are not done?  But i am ahead of you as i didn't want to colour that bit as i had given her a green cape and didn't want more green blending into it and taking away the effect that i actually liked.

Her cape is T 0, 2, 4 and 6 on the outside and the inner is a lovely green YG 02,06,08.

Dress is YG 00, 02, 04.

Any how i hope you like my inspiration this week for Scrappers Delights this week and i look forward to any comments! xx

Now onto my little bit of DT inspiration....i have to admit when i made it i was really unwell with a bug and i didn't feel it was up to scratch but i have been assured that it is and i am really hoping that you will like what i have made.

I started with a box...yes just a plain old box that i decided to doctor.  I covered in a pale pink paper all over including the bottom and then distressed with Tea Dye and Gathered Twig.

I then rand a lace and bead ribbon around the lid.  On the bottom half of the box i added white metal corners partially to make it look nicer and a little for added strength.

I then added a cluster of flowers and a couple of fir cones to two of the corners.

I then die cut out my image that i had coloured earlier and stuck her to the boxes lid and again around the edge of the die cut i added some matching flowers and a couple of metal snowflake charms.

I hope you like what i made and that maybe it gives you a few ideas of your own?

Many Thanks.

Scrappers Delights freebie

Hi there!

Did you all get the freebie from Scrappers Delights called funky Ashley? Yay i did!!  And she is so cute!!

And don't forget if your a Facebook member there is 30% of your orders!

Here she is cute huh?

And here is my version of Funky Ashley.....

It did not matter what i did with the balloons they just seem a little washed out even though they are a little glittery.  Funky Ashley is a cute digi and i LOVE the spiky hair so i thought i would try a different hair colour combo for a change.  I used V 20, 22, 25 and BV 08 and 17....kinda cool right?

I then teamed her up with a green combo for her clothing....thought it would make a change to have contrasting colours that almost clash....and it was good going outside my comfort Zone.

Colour combos are as follows:

Hair V 20, 22, 25 BV 08 and 17

Hairband YG 21, 23, 25 with gold dots

Skin E 000, 00, 01, 11 R 20 cheeks

So i had this rather cute William Pear...problem was i liked all of the Fruit babies lol.  and you can find him here too as a Fruity baby bundle set 2!

I loved making this card and i think i chose just the right colour for his pear.

I started with an 8x8 card blank which seems to be my favorite size of late, don't get me wrong i like 6x6 but it just too small.  I covered the whole card with an 8x8 piece of glittered card from First /editions Daydream collection.  I then matted and layered a panel across the middle of the card using green glitter card, gold card and a piece of beige card...i also used that combination for matting William Pear. I also slipped in half a pale green square doily behind The digi to cover the left corner of the card.

I added three blingy buttons on bottom right corner, some green ribbon across the center and three bejewelled butterflies along with a sentiment distressed in Shabby shutter to the front for my embellishing.

In case you want to know the colours i used:

Copics

Skin E 000, 01, 02

T shirt B 000, 01, 02

Hair E 33, 35, 37

Pear YG 21, 23, 25, 17
