UK Scrappers Weekly Challenge August Week 4

This week's challenge was set by the Paper Addicts. Quite a simple challenge. We were asked to do something new for 10 points, something old for 10 points and some circles for the final 10 points.

I have used a photo of Zoe in her new school uniform. The papers are old ones that I had in my odds and ends cut off box. There are lost of circles.

Kenny K's Krafty Girlz challenge # 7 Donna's Sketch

I just love these Kenny K digi images - they are cute but kind of sexy too!!!

I have used Devilish Donna (how apt) and coloured her using my Promarker pens and used Art Glitter crystal glitter for her wings to give her some sparkle. I have then followed the sketch and converted it for an easel card and used foiled papers from the Rockstar paper stack by DCWV. These are black and cerise pink but haven't shown up to well in the photo. I have also used Pebbles Inc ribbons. I have flocked around the edge of the circle and added some gems. The sentiment has been mounted onto a Prima flower and then a velvet Bazzill flower.

And close up...

Cute Card Thursday - Challenge 126

This week we were given a sketch by Fran. The challenge can be found here.

I have used the new Wags n Whiskers Hannah stamp. I love this little dumpy fairy. I have coloured her using Promarkers and then gone round the outline using a Sakura glitter pen. The papers are from a My Minds Eye paper stack and I have used Martha Stewart's buterfly punch for the border. The flowers are various Prima ones that I have put Stickles on the edges for a bit of glittery bling. The sentiment is printed on the computer.

I am also entering this for the Wags n Whiskers challenge number 29 here. The challenge was to use 3 of something. I have used 3 layers of flowers and rows of 3 gems.

Pro-markers Challenge Week 65 - Theme

This week's challenge is Winter Blue. I have made an easel card and used my new Wags n Whiskers stamp called Angelica. She is coloured using my lovely trusty Promarkers and the blue papers are various ones from a My Minds Eye paper stack.

UK Scrappers Weekly Challenge August Week 3

This week's challenge was set by Scrap Happens and we had to use pink or blue for 5 points, use 3 of something for 5 points, the layout had to be about a celebration for 10 points and the final 10 points was to use bunting on the page.

We recently went to dinner at some friends and the kids went off upstairs and came back down and announced that they were getting married. Zoe was the groom (dressed as Stephanie from Lazy Town, Eva was the bride and little Jay was the best man - obviously dressed as Superman! This was my celebration theme, I have used a pink background, there are 3 flowers on the bottom of the layout and the bunting is in the top corner.

I am also entering this for A Trip Down Memory Lane's Sketch Inspiration no 13 challenge too that can be found here

I made the Tiddlyinks Top 3

Yay I was named as one of Tiddlyinks Top 3 this week for my window card below. How cool! The card did take me hours to make.

Check out the fab challenges on the challenge blog here and the fantastic digi images here. The images are lovely to colour and so, so cute!!!

Tiddlyinks Challenge No 16 - Windows

For this week's challenge we had to create a project with a window. I have lots of aperture cards but they weren't quite the right shape or size, so I set about making one of my own using Nesties.

I have used Cup of Love Lily Bean digi image which I played around with in Photoshop Elements.

Basically I made her a bit bigger and then copied her. On one of the images I deleted the cup and on the other I deleted Lily - to end up with just a Lily and just a cup. The idea was that the cup would be on the inside of the card and be visible through the window and then Lily would be on the outside of the card. When the card is closed she still looks like she is holding the cup up. It took lots of fiddling to get the sizes right and to make sure the cup was on the right angle to be seen through the window.

I have then coloured her using Promarkers and added some glitter using Sakura glitter pens and used various odds and ends of paper, ribbon and pins to make the card.

The card closed - see she is holding up the cup:

A close up with the card slightly open. The cup is visible through the window and Lily has nothing in her hands.

The inside of the card - just the cup.
And just another picture - in case you didn't get the idea!
I have probably spent 4 or 5 hours on this card. Not that it looks like to be get everything just right and lined up was very time consuming.
