Forever Friends Sketch

I said earlier that I had made two of these tags, well here is the second one,
I did it to follow the sketch over on http://foreverfriendschallengeblog.blogspot.com
I thought of just doing it as a tag, but then decided to make it into a notelet card,
The difference between this one and the first one I did, are that I added ribbon on this one and two lovely little charms.

Stars and Stipes WOJ meets Sketch and Stash,

Like the title says Stars and stripes Whiff of Joy challenge, meets Sketch and Stashes sketch challenge, you can see the challenges here http://sketchandstashchallenge.blogspot.com and http://wojmondaychallenge.blogspot.com

I made a 5.5" square card, from cream cardstock from my stash, got my new papers the stars is from funky fairys please see link on side bar, and the stripes are from a magazine giveaway,

used dark green card to mount the watercoloured Whiff Of Joy stamp on, that I embossed with clear after stamping in black, I also stamped again onto a scrap bit of the stripes paper and cut out the trousers,

The sketch was a great one, I really enjoyed doing this, I have even done the inside to match,

Hope you all like it

Cutie Sunday meets Colourcreate

This card is Cutie Sunday sketch meets with Colourcreates colours for this weeks challenges,

you can see and enter them here - http://colourcreatechallenge.blogspot.com/ and http://cutie-sunday.blogspot.com/

I stamped and embossed my little letter forever friend bear three times in gold, then coloured him in Brown, Green and Orange, they are mounted onto a brown centre strip which is also mounted onto mottled green backing paper, all on a pale orange card, I have added 3 gems to follow the sketch, and it didnt look finished so I added some peel off corners on each of the three little bears,

The insert is a pale patterned paper with two of the little bears stamped on it, left un coloured,

I think this would make a lovely notlet card even for a MAN to use.

Sweet Daisy May

Here is my final card for today,

I used a Daisy May Digi Stamp, coloured her with watercolours, and added gems to her bucket and hand, then followed the sketch over at the sweet shop,

This card I really enjoyed doing this evening,

as the colour is my favourite,

and I adore this Sarah Kay image,

I coloured her with water colours,

and then did my take on the sketch over at http://sasthefreshbatch.blogspot.com/

I have also done a matching lilac plain insert for this card.

Back tomorrow with some more cards or crafty creations for you,

Birthday Cake, Cup Cakes, and Balloons.

What a wonderful day it is here, loved creating this card in my kitchen (yes thats where my crafting stuff is) with the back door open,

I have made this card using the digi image required for the challenge over at http://bee-crafty.blogspot.com

and have followed the sketch challenge from http://charismacardz.blogspot.com

I handstamped the two little cupcakes with my free gift set of stamps from the do crafts creativity magazine this month, added a few little peel offs, and also did the insert to match.

Black, White, Pink and Polka Dots,

Just had to nip one more in today,

so I made this card for the challenge over at http://colourcreatechallenge.blogspot.com/

I did a gatefold A5 card, found some lovely pink polkadot paper out of my stash for the fronts,

then made a lovely topper out of die cuts that I got from Sassy Designs shop, (see link on side bar),

The inside I used a Funky Fairys paper (see link on side bar), and pink ribbon butterflys to match the one on the hat,

Hand Cut decoupage planes

Good Morning, Its a beautiful day, nice and sunny,

I have made this hand cut decoupage card this morning, its of two planes, that I hand cut out and decoupaged up, then embossed the front of the card and cut down the embossing,

found two papers from my stash, and cut them to go on the card,

I also added a skeleton leaf, not sure why it just felt right,

I am entering this in the decorative cuts challenge over at http://onestopcraftchallenge.blogspot.com/

Die Cut Challeng at spoonful of sugar,

This card was a real challenge for me, so I am pleased how its turned out, as its the first time I have used die cuts, as in the focal part of a card,
I had this lovely die cut teddy from susies die cuts, (see link at side bar), so coloured it with water colours, added eyes, nose and mouth, water coloured the paws, then used a die cut banner for him to hold, when I was going to stamp the verse on the banner, I dropped the ink, and decided I wasnt sure what I was going to use the card for, so the banner turned into a tray with flowers on it,
I have entered this for the challenge at http://aspoonfullofsugarchallenge.blogspot.com/

new beginnings challenge at stamptacular

Here I have done a bright and bold new job card,
this fell just right for the specactular challenge, on their new blog at
http://stamptacularsundaychallenge.blogspot.com/

I stamped, embossed and coloured the two images of the tool box and paint pot onto blue card,
mounted it along with the sayings onto mirror board,
then mounted them onto a lighter blue background,
I thought this would be a great card for a friend of mine who is starting a new job as a handyman,

challenge entry for sketch and stash,

Here is my entry for the challenge at http://sketchandstashchallenge.blogspot.com/

The stamp was my stash that I hadnt used before,

the paper was one that I also found in my to be used stash, (bits not quite big enough for a whole card on their own)

I used my brand new h20's for colouring the embossed stamp in,

Another stamped challenge card by lilacanglia

After having a lovely day, I have also stamped this card for a challenge on

http://cardpositioningsystems.blogspot.com/

I am getting addicted to stamping now, in case y'all hadnt noticed,

I used to be so worried and frightened of stamping, but seeing some challenges on blogspot, and other sites like stamptv.comand Michael Strong stamping yahoo group, etc,
I thought I would try it out, and now you can all see the results,

My advice is dont be frightened or worried, just try it, if not sure try on scrap first, then practice,

the first page of each heart is edged with flower soft,

Hope you enjoy looking at them as much as I did making them,

After Hurting My back on Friday, i made these crafty items,

Hello Everyone,

After hurting my back on Friday, getting down my christmas decorations without waiting for hubby, i couldnt do much but sit, so made the above items that you can see photos of,

the two cards are both monochrome unicorns,

then as a few of you know i am teaching myself how to crochet of the internet,

so i crocheted a preemie beenie hat/cap and matching pair of socks, this time i followed a pattern instead of a video, the same for the little mob hap pin cushion,

then i sat and knitted a 1:12th scale dolls house child beanie hat/cap and matching mittens as well,

after finishing knitting i tried to do a lovely bookmark in the shape of a angel, again from a pattern, and i chose the purple to do it in, as its my favourite colour,

huggies to all,

will post more again soon, hopefully without this bad back,

Angie,

this morning all 3 of my boys went to school fit and well, so i had time to create,

the 4 photos above are what i made this morning,

a 3d unicorn gatefold card,

3d envelope card,

3d butterfly scroll card,

and a monochrome fairy card,

off to do some more knitting now,

before my 3 monsters get home,

Saturday has been good again for my crafting, as you can see by the photos above,

i have made some more cards, the tweety card i made from scratch from a tiny picture i had, i then made backing paper, and also made the small image i had into a decoupage, and turned it into this A4 size card,

the lowest piccy is also a A4 size card, this is oriental themed, along with the other oriental themed card which is A5 size, the other two lace edged cameos are 3d and A6 in size,

hope you like them,
