Happy Halloween with Aud Sentiments

Hi everyone, it's time for a new challenge over at Aud Sentiments.

Our theme for this challenge is Halloween so we'd like you to use a halloween sentiment. We're being sponsored by Stamp Fairy who've kindly given us this image to work with and are offering a prize of a $10 gift certificate for their store...

I've coloured the image using Copics. The backing papers are freebies from Bearly Mine, they're fab. 

 The sentiment is computer generated. Now it's your turn, we'd love to see what you create and don't forget it must have a halloween sentiment.

Happy 50th Birthday

Hi everyone, I'm here to share a card I've made for a friend's 50th Birthday at the weekend. He's a decorator so I thought this stamp was appropriate, it's a Daisy and Dandelion one...

I used a sketch from the Sketch Saturday Challenge but didn't have chance to post it in time so I can't enter that...never mind. The background is made up of squares of red, white and blue card, arranged on a square of black card. I've coloured the image with copics and cut him out with a circular Spellbinder. I've matted this on a scalloped circle Spellbinder using black card. I've finished off with peeloffs from my stash.

CSAYL - Tag, you're it!

Hi everyone,

I'm thrilled to be a guest designer this week with Christmas Stampin' All Year Long. 

The challenge is to make either a tag or a card with a tag on it, and, of course, it must be a Christmas project. Here's mine...

 I've cut out a tag shape with an ancient sissix die - it came with my big shot (I have the old green version!). The stamp is Forever Friends, coloured with copics. I've edged the white tag with glamour dust, then matted it in dark green and then silver. I've added twine and a Boofle Christmas bow to finish off...

Now it's your turn, you could win the chance to be a guest designer for the first week in November.

Thanks for looking, see you again soon..

Fall is in the air...

Hi everyone, I'm here to share my DT card for the latest challenge at Dutch Dare Card Challenges. The theme is 'Fall is in the air' and we're being sponsored by the fabulous Bugaboo. This image is called 'Turtles Fall'.

The backing paper is from a 6x6 pack I've had for years by Papermania (Earth Tones). I've cut the leaves using a Sizzix extended cutting die (Fall leaves w/acorns). The sentiment - Have a turtley awesome day - is computer generated. I hope you'll play along this week. Hop over to the challenge and see what my talented team mates have made for your inspiration....

WOYWW 174

Hi, it's Wednesday again already and time to snoop round the desks for WOYWW. 

If you don't know what I'm talking about follow the link...you'll love it.

I'm having a 'chill' day today, recovering from a migraine so I'm working on a couple of cards as and when I feel up to it...

I can't show you close up detail of my hubby's anniversary card yet but I'll show you some of the 'bits' which I've used...

I've used the stamp, which I've coloured with my copics, and the scraps of blue are the backing papers. I also got the wonderful news that my niece had a baby boy yesterday evening so I've got my stamps out to make a card. Can't wait for a cuddle....

Now I have a couple of things to show you relating to last week's post. The wedding image I was working on...still haven't finished the card...

and I've stamped and coloured most of the Christmas Boofle stamps which I bought when I was out with my best buddy Sue last week. Just need to make them into cards...

Right, time to go for a snoop now. Happy crafting and I'll see you all very soon.

Cream Quackers Anniversary

Hi everyone, I'm back to share a card I've made for another anniversary in the family. I decided to make another decoupage card, although this time it was die cut, which made it so much easier. It's from the Cream Quackers collection...

The backing paper is from the Papermania Capsule Collection, as is the little bow. The flourish is Cheery Lynn using mirri board and the sentiment is a JustRite one, cut out with a Spellbinder die. Here's another piccie so you can see the dimension a bit better...
