My New Love! Seeing Double!

Hi, Hope your having a lovely day. I have had a day crafting...well a afternoon anyway!

A few days ago i came across this cutie bear on the talented Lisa's blog, She is on the Teddy Bo DT which is a new challenge for these lovely bears. You must have a look here at the images if you have not seen them yet! There has been new images added which are just fab! I have bought a pile of them, couldnt wait...just had to have them!

Onto my card...this is not my usual style of card but thought i would leave the comfort zone..well a bit because couldnt help but slipping in the Lavender along with the kraft paper, browns and cream. I distressed all the edges with brown ink. I followed the sketch from the Mojo Monday blog this week.

The Image, as i mentioned above is from Teddy Bo. I have two of the same image on my card to fit with the Teddy Bo Challenge, which is "Seeing Double", one on the front and the other inside. This image is called "Can you See Me" and used the accessories image to give her a umbrella. I coloured her in with my promarkers, I cut the images out and rubbed them with a shaper tool to make them curve to make them stand out more.  You can see this effect in the pictures The lace has also been distressed a bit with the ink. The flower was one i made myself and sat on a cuttlebug die flower and a twisted piece ribbon. Again distressed with the ink.

On the inside i have just layered the same papers and added the same image for the Teddy Bo challenge.

 Here is the links of the challenges i want to enter with this card.

Hi, At long last i have had time to make a card!! Where does all the time go??

The sketch i followed is from Mojo Monday. My image is from TGF and i coloured her in with Pormarkers. The papers are My Minds Eye. I had got free papers like these with a magazine a while back and used them so bought more 12x12's this week in the sales!  The sentiment was cut from my Cricut Wild Card Cartridge and fits with the challenges running from Papertake Weekly and Cute Card Thursday. I am also playing along with the Corrosive Challenge which is to "Bling It On"! I have used plenty of bling on this card so i am sure that this will count! The flowers i made myself from Scalloped edge srips and a quilling tool! The leaves are cut from my Cricut. I have added glossy accents with glamour dust to the sentiment and leaves just to add a bit of sparkle.

Here is the links to the challenge blogs i am playing along with today;

Buttons and Bows!!

Hi there, This is just a quick post to put this card on that i had started yesterday and never got finished till today. The sketch is from the Mojo Monday challenge blog. I love roundies so chose this over the square one. The DP's are all My Minds Eye "Lush" collection. They were all in a sale at Hobbycraft a few months back so i had to have them! The image of one of my fav gorgeous girls has been coloured by promarkers.  I have also played along with the challenge at Sweet Stampin this week is "Buttons and Bows". These buttons were recycled from my daughter old clothes, i went through all those bags of baby clothes that i just couldnt part with and cut of all the cute buttons then put them all in bin/recycle bin. If only i could clear out the rest of my house like that!

I have also entering the Lets Craft and Create challenge blog as its "Anything Goes"

Hope the snow and cold weather is not causing too much trouble for you all. I managed to go and finish my Christmas shopping today. Its was great because the shops were empty, only seen three other customers in Toys R us, and the shelves were full. I got everything i went for! The supermarkets were not quiet at all. My Sister couldnt get a pint of milk and then people were fighting over the bread! People are just panic buying just in case this goes on and on! Lets hope that not the case!!


I had forgot to leave links back to the challenge blogs that i have entered! I had a sleepless night and decided to post after 2am this morning so my brain was obviously to tired for it! lol! Sorry!

One For The Guys!

Its been a week or so since my last card, well for on here anyway. I had a few orders for friends and family to get done. This happens to be one of them but i used the sketch for the Mojo Monday Challenge. The blue paper has been run through my cuttle bug with the swiss dots folder. The sentiment was cut from my Wild Card Cricut Cartridge and the "80" from the  Plantin Schoolbook. The charm is a tiny little trowel garden tool, you cant go wrong with something like that can you!! I added some silver card candy to finish it off. I am also entering the card into The Corrosive Challenge who are looking for "One for the Guys". I really find masculine cards hard to make so i tend to keep it very simple as you can see!!

Here are links to the two challenges i have entered;

Gone all Green!

 Here is another card that i made for some more challenges. I am on a roll now! Its great to have some time to get some crafting done but we are going away to the caravan on Friday morning and i have got nothing ready at all! Think i better get myself organised! Packing for 5 is not a 5 minute job, thats for sure!

I cut the card base using my Cricut and followed the sketch for Mojo Monday challenge. They gave the choice of circle or square so decided to go for the circle for a change from the usual square cards. The colour choice was to match the Passion for Promarkers challenge which is green. As with the chocolate card i made a few days ago, its not a colour i would pick out to use as the main colour but again i quite like it! The paper is Bo Bunny Island Mist and the patterned  floral paper is from Rico Design.

I am also going to enter the card into Pear Tree designs for the Birthday card challenge. This LOTV stamp is one of my favourites. She is so cute!

Here is the challenges that this card is entered into,
