Lost Your Mojo?

Hello, 

Hope you are all well. 

I have the dreaded lurgy that's been going round.. lucky me...

Anyways, we have a brand new challenge over at My Time To Craft 

 - Link is HERE

This fortnights challenge is " Halloween or Cats "

I went with both. So here's what I've got..

 Absolutely love this image from Simply B stamps. 

She is super cute for a witch. 

The papers are a download from Etsy. I really wanted worded backing paper and these are perfect! 

The witch has been coloured using Spectrum Noir Pens. 

Hope to see you all playing along at the blog. 

See you!

Good Morning

Hope you're ready for a new challenge over at My Time To Craft

 - Link is HERE

This fortnights challenge is "Under The Sea"

Now, I automatically thought of the Little Mermaid but then remembered I've had some images for ages that I've never used. Perfect for this challenge! 😊


The background is printed bubble paper which has a layer of acetate over it. There is a frame all around the card too to add some depth. I've added the kraft card over the top of the frame to look like sand.
All the sea creatures are cut out and coloured using spectrum noir pens.
The images are by Drawn By Krista - Link is HERE
And they are called Baby Sea Creatures.

Hope you enjoy the challenge
Remember to follow the rule

Heres's the sketch :

Here's what I've come up with..

Love this little superhero dude! 

He is from The Greeting Farm and He is part of the digi image "Amazing Duo" - Link is HERE

He has been coloured using Spectrum Noir pens. I can't give you the colours as I've lost the paper I wrote them down on 😵 

The backing paper is a digital download off Etsy. The stars are die cuts. 

The banner with the sentiment is cut out on the Portrait. 

I hope you enjoy the sketch!

Bright and Colourful 

For this challenge we are sponsored by Oddball Art Co. - Link is HERE 

I got the use the super awesome image Tiny Kawaii Baby Dragon - Link is HERE 

I've added no sentiment to this card purely because it will probably be my Auntie's birthday card. 

She loves Dragons! 

 Anyways, here is what I made....

Image is coloured using spectrum noir pens. I went with non traditional colours, I mean how many times do you see teal and orange toadstools?! 

The orange paper is from a paper pad with the purple paper a digital download. 

Added a ribbon, bow. twine and a button and some gems.

This fortnight's challenge is 

 

Sequins and/or Buttons

Here’s what I’ve come up with :)

I have used an image by Kenny K called Retro Selfie - Link is HERE

I've coloured the image using Spectrum Noir Pens.

I decided to use sequins on this project beens I use buttons a LOT! I also decided to do a shaker card which I haven't made in ages. It was really fun! 

The shaker surround, I cut out to look like a poloroid photo. Pretty cool eh?!
I’ve added extra detail to the card as well by adding a die cut "hello" and a navy bow.

Here's a few more pics....

 

Remember to follow the rules and enjoy the challenge.
We look forward to seeing your creations.

This fortnights challenge is 

"One For The Girls" 

We have a super awesome sponsor for this challenge,  Doodle Digistamps - Link is HERE

I've been lucky enough to use the image Bea and Tea - Link is HERE  

Rather than using the images on one card, I decided to make two! 

Here's what I've come up with....

 I went with a CAS look for these cards as I love the images, I wanted them to stand out more. 

I think I've achieved that! 

Both girls have been coloured in using Spectrum Noir Pens. 

I am going to post the colours used as sometimes trying to the find the right combinations is hard! 

The Sentiments are both printed onto the cardstock as well. 

I've added the die-cut borders to the tops and stickles and pearls for extra details. 

Here's a better look at the cards with the pen combos underneath...

Skin : FS3, FS1, FS2 | Hair : GB7, EB3, OR2, OR1 

Hat & Dress Blue : TB9, TB8, TB4 | Bow & Dress White : BGR3, BGR2, BGR1.

 Skin : FS3, FS1, FS2 | Hair : EB2, EB1, TN1

Glasses & Pants : DR7, DR6, DR5 | Top : IB3, IB2, IB1.

 There we have it... Two cute little CAS cards. 

We hope you enjoy the challenge... PLEASE REMEMBER TO FOLLOW THE RULES! 

Enjoy...

I wish to enter these in to the following challenge:

1) Addicted to Stamps  - Not a square card

 Hello! 

It's been a while since I've played along with any challenges but thought I'd enter a few. 

You know when you have that card to make for a difficult teenager that's never off their phone... 

Well, there's a perfect image for this!

It's by Lili of the Valley and is called Jasmine Phone - Link is HERE

The papers I've used are a download from Etsy from HuckleberryHearts - Link is HERE

Wanted to make the card girly as well as bright and bold. All three papers are out of the download paper pack. I love how they complement each other. 

The image I've coloured using Spectrum Noir Pens. The paperclips are from IKEA. I love them! I love how they add more detail to the card. The three roses are made out of foam. And I've also added spiral staimen. These I've been looking for for like forever! I finally found them!! YAY! 

I will be selling these from my Etsy shop once I've listed them if anyone is interested. 

Here's a few close ups of the details and a shot that shows layers....

 Thanks for popping by. 

I hope you like my creation :) 

I'm entering the following challenges with my creation: 

1) Lili of the Valley FB - Feature A Female

 Good Morning!

Another Saturday and time for another challenge over at My Time To Craft - Link is HERE
This fortnight's challenge is 

No DP's! ( No Designer Papers)

Here’s what I’ve come up with :)

I have used an image by Make It Crafty called Roxi and it’s been coloured in using Promakers and Spectrum Noir pens. I've also used Spectrum Noir refills to make my background. 

I didn't want to add embossing and wondered if it would work. I got a tiny amount on the end of the pipet and just splattered it over the card. It's subtle but I like it.
I’ve added extra detail to the card by using a wooden saying "Happy" and a purple bow.

 

Remember to follow the rules and enjoy the challenge.
We look forward to seeing your creations.

:)

Hello Sassy Fans! 

Hope you looking forward to another challenge over at the DTBST blog - Link is HERE 

This week we want you to add a sentiment to your project. 

I went with Cleopatra Portrait :) 

She has been coloured in using Spectrum Noir pens and I've cut out certain layers to 3D her.

The sentiment is part of the set with the image. 

Added black and gold ribbon for a bit of detail. 

Here's a couple more pics of the image: 

Hope you enjoy the challenge! 

Good Morning! 

A super quick post from me today, I have lots to do! 

A new challenge over at Creative Fingers today - Link is HERE

and 

Elvenstar Art - Link is HERE 

 

I got to use the awesome image Sky by Elvenstar Art - Link is HERE

 

  

I went with quite a gothic looking card for this image which is stunning yet simple at the time. 

The backing paper is out of two different paper pads from Poundland! 

They are lovely! 

Added some silver washi tape with the card candi too. Adds a bit of definition :) 

Have fun with the "anything goes" challenge :) 

jo ;)

Good Morning! 

Can't you tell it's bank holiday.... yep it's raining!! 

 

We have a brand new challenge over at Crafting When We Can today - Link is HERE 

The challenge  for this fortnight is 

"Add Flowers" 

And we are sponsored by Julia Spiri - Link is HERE 

I was able to use the image Birds & Hair - Link is HERE

I am trying something different with this card. I had to cut a frame down for a lego frame that I've made and the excess just so happens to for an A5 card. So I thought I'd put it to some use :) 

I have left the image light with the hints of purple and green and added the flowers and gems along the edge. 

I like the finished product. I think it's quite qwirky :) 

Enjoy the challenge.. remember to add those flowers! :) 

Good Morning! 

Super quick post today.

The challenge  for this fortnight is 

"Birthday" 

I got to use this amazing image which is called Willow - Link is HERE

I did start off with the image being greys, then added a red. I think the red pops. 

I also wanted a CAS layout to show off the image. 

I think the red hair really shouts at you. I've used black glitter card for the background too. 

And look, not a button or piece of twine in sight! ;) 

Thanks for popping by! 

Enjoy the challenge :)

Good Morning! 

I've a couple of cards to show you today for the Sassy Studio Sponsorship. 

First up is an image I coloured ages ago! I loved her as soon as I seen her. 

And I thought the sentiment was perfect :) 

This is for sponsor of blog A Beautiful Mess - Link is HERE

The papers are a digital download from Etsy, the sentiment is printed from the pc and Catwomen has been coloured using Spectrum Noir pens. She has also been completely cut out. Had to get a bit of glitter and ribbon in there ;) 

Next up is a super fun card for Crafting with Friends - Link is HERE

I used Mad Hatter Buttercream Babe, again, I'd had her coloured up for ages. 

I went with a little bit of an outside the lines idea with this. 

I like it tho! LOL 

She's been coloured up using promarkers in mad hatter ish colours. 

The papers matched perfectly I think, then I am biased as I love this card! 

The little wooden wording sets the whole lot off I think :) :) 

Thanks for popping by, we hope you'll enjoy the challenges and inspiration from the DT

Good Morning! 

It's Saturday and I'm off to work.... booooo! 

But before I leave, here's my post for the new Challenge over at My Time To Craft - Link is HERE 

This week we want to see "Flowers" 

This should be your main image :) 

I'm showing you something different today as it's not a card. 

This is a box I made for Mothers Day for a friend at work to give to her daughter from the boys. 

The image is a "sunflower" digi image from Make It Crafty - Link is HERE 

You'll see in the next lot of pics that the sunflowers have been layered. I cut and coloured the specific bits that I wanted to layer and cut them out. I think there's 5 or 6 layers. 

The whole image and quote is in a 23cm by 23cm white IKEA frame.

Lots of big pictures! I had to get the detail in to show you :) 

Thanks for popping by! 

Enjoy the challenge :) 

Morning! 

Super quick post from me today. 

We have a brand new challenge over at Crafting When We Can today - Link is HERE 

The challenge  for this fortnight is 

"use Washi tape" 

Awesome! One of my favourite things to use on cards. 

this challenge we are sponsored by the awesome Star Stampz - Link is HERE 

I got to use Spring Rain - Link is HERE 

I went with something quite bold and bright with this. I was watching Coraline at the time when I coloured her up so took inspiration from the colours. 

She's been coloured using spectrum Noir pens. I even coloured the white space to look a little cloudy too lol. 

The sentiment is printed from the pc. It's here that I've added a bit of washi tape and on to the yellow spotty paper. Both yellow spots and blue clouds are a digital download. 

As I said super quick post from me. 

Hope to see you over at the blog :) 

Enjoy!
