Metallic Memories Sketch

This card just had to be done for the Memories challenge over at http://craftycreationschallenges.blogspot.com becouse this little image I have used reminds of the days when my dear old dad was a postman, and also of our very first cat.

The sketch is from http://creativeinspirationschallenge.blogspot.com

and metallic from http://abc-challenge.blogspot.com

I watercoloured the pennyblack image of the posty cat, and mounted this and other layers on silver mirri board, added a gem, and some brads.

I have also done a nice insert for this car as well.

This card had to be done as a good online friend Yvonne had a giggle with me this morning about bags, I see this and thought of that and also my dear old dad.

Gaming Computer Birthday

My dear friend, asked me to do a birthday card for her grandson, who is only into things like his computer and games machines, so I got out my christmas stamp of a computer, stamped and embossed it in black, coloured it in with a black water pencil, cut it out and cut of the santa's hat that was sitting on the corner, found a baseball cap cut that out and stuck it over the bit where the santa's hat would have been, then found a couple of computer wallpapers printed them out and made my backgrounds and insert from them,

I followed the sketch on http://onestopcraftchallenge.blogspot.com/ and the size challenge on http://stampwithfun.blogspot.com/ of 4" x 8"

and the numbers challenge on http://cupcakecraftchallenges.blogspot.com

I was up early this morning about 6.30am, becouse I was so excited as I have won some blog candy, Thank you Jeanette, will do a separate post when it arrives, I was so excited becouse I didnt know I had entered, this is becouse it was a surprise candy for people that left comments or was a follower, I just like Jeanettes cards and blog, so genuinely followed her before any of the blog candy things, I am a very happy bunny this morning (quite apt seeing as my surname is Easter lol)

This card I have made, is for the challenge over at http://daisyanddandelionchallengeblog.blogspot.com its called Razzle Dazzle,

I stamped my lovely Daisy and Dandelion elephant then coloured with sparkle, then mounted it onto a diamond background (out of my stash) added some lovely peel offs to get that extra bit of bling.

Fathers Day Teddy

This card is for Fathers Day, I stamped and embossed the teddy in his chair with his paper in gold, on pale blue card, then after colouring hime with sakura pens, mounted it onto a darker blue and then onto gold mirri board, the two beighe with gold roses are a piece of card I had in my stash, so thought I would use it up, this is my version of the sketch at http://mojomonday.blogspot.com

Charming ..... its a Boy card

My Brother asked me to do a card for his friend, he heard this morning that they had a little boy,
So me being me just had to do one that I could use in a challenge, (yes I am obsessed by challenges - but it makes me do things I am not used to doing and helps get a stock up for my charity stalls and ebay)

I used a DL blank that I had in my stash, some mottled blue backing paper, I dry embossed the play cube (building block) the the Bunny is sitting on using my keepsake board.
The bunny was stamped and embossed and I used sakura pens to colour him, stamped the sentiment added the little teddy charm.
The insert is a matching pale blue.

I am going to enter this for the challenge over at http://stamptacularsundaychallenge.blogspot.com

whic is a non combining challenge, and the theme was to use a charm.

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.

Winged Things and Anything Goes,

Winged things is the challenge over at http://funkyfairyschallengeblog.blogspot.com

and anything goes is the challenge over at http://pennybfriendssaturdaychallenge.blogspot.com

The backing paper comes from funkyfairy - click on the link in my side bar,

The stamp is from Penny Black, I watercoloured him, then clear embossed in clear ink and powder, to give a tile effect, I cant get the sheen to show properly in the photo,

I enjoyed doing this card as I had never done the clear embossing before, and I like the finished item.

Boxed Tractor

My Tractor is off to its new owner today, so I had to make the box for it,

Just thought I would post it on here for you to see,

The colour choice for the box was the choice of the customer, not mine, I dont think its does the tractor justice, but the customer is always right,,,,,,,,,, possibly lol,

At least the money that I have got coming for this will be going towards my local RSPCA,

back l8rs with more bits n pieces,

Hope your all having a super weekend,

Project Tuesday with a Digi Image,

Here is my version of the Project Tuesday over at http://stampsandsmiles.blogspot.com

and I am also entering this for the challenge over at http://modernsugarblvd.blogspot.com

which is to use the digi image they have supplied,

I altered the image and cut of the long scarf, and as you can see from the pictures, I have done bother sides of the bag that I made from the Project Tuesday,
If it doesnt show very well in the photos I used a leather look type card to make the bag, then added matching ribbons to make the handles, Printed the digi image and coloured with sakura pens, (still cant afford to get copics), and then add my peel offs, and a tag, this has been done on both side hence the two photos.

Recycle Or Re Use,

I was totally and I mean TOTALLY out of my comfort zone this afternoon doing this,

Not the recycling bit, as I do that as much as I can, but I mean the glass painting bit,

I have made this odd glass we had, that hubby kept trying to get rid of, into a tea light candle holder, (even tho theres no candle in it when I took the picture as it didnt look right unlit)

I put two rose peel offs on either side of the main part of the glass and two leave peel offs around the base of the stem, then I coloured using souffle and glaze sakura pens,

There was a knack to keeping it level so it would dry without running etc,

I am entering this for the challenge over at http://thepinkelephantchallenge.blogspot.com

I am please with the outcome, and might even do more, as I think they might sell well for the local RSPCA that I support with all of my sales
