Mark 2!

Good Afternoon, my card to share today is one that my daughter asked me to make.  She makes jewelry and has recently been asked by a friend if she would consider doing jewelry making parties for the tweenie age group.  She thought about it and said yes and now she has two parties booked.  This card is for the birthday girl. You can see some of the jewelry Trudy makes here, she hasn't posted recently but has a facebook page and some jewelry for sale on Folksy.

As you have no doubt noticed this is practically a replica of yesterday's card - different colour, different layout.  I have done this for a reason.  It fits two challenges:  My Time To Craft - G is for... in this case Gingham and Girl.  I am also entering my card in the Papertake Weekly Challenge - Eyes Down, Look In.  I have picked the centre line across of the Bingo card - Button, Ribbon, Free - a flower.

Card Recipe:
Papers - Cuddly Buddly
Image -  Cuddly Buddly

Ribbon, Button, flower and Cuttlebugged cs from my stash
Computer generated sentiment.

I hope you like my repeated card and many thanks for stopping by.

Coffee Time

Good Evening.  We have finally had some sun here in the Northern Isles.  My card to share to day is for then My Time To Craft Challenge:  Expressoley For You - This week we want to see work with coffee colours or drinks on please!  I've managed to both,  the image is from Charmed Cards and Crafts - Girls About Town, coloured with Promarkers, the large bp is Cuddly Buddly the smaller bp is Funky Fairys, the cuttlebugged card, gold mirri, flowers and Card Candy are all from my stash and the ribbon from our local craft shop.  I haven't put a sentiment on the card yet cos I am not sure who is going to get it.

I have also followed Sketch113 from Sweet Sketch Wednesday.

I hope you like my card and many thanks for visiting and for any comments you may wish to leave.

Sing Little Birdie

Good Afternoon. I have fallen lucky today because one of the cards I made for my 2 grand-daughters 9th birthdays last week fits two challenges., I couldn't put the cards on my blog before as my daughters tend to drop into my blog from time to time. The image is a Robyn's Fetish one which I bought from Stitchy Bear Digital Stamps, coloured with Promarkers, the paper is from a DCWV 12x12 stack that I have had for ages, the sentiment is computer generated and everything else comes from my stash.

The two challenges are: My Time To Craft - Use a Die Cut - the number 9 was cut with a Cuttlebug Alphabet Die,
Digital Tuesday Challenge - Add Some Texture - the flower and the Cuttlebugged offset card.

Thank you so much for visiting.

Out of my comfort zone

Good Morning,  As I was up and showered and dressed before 7.30 this morning, for the second time this week (unheard of normally, my alarm doesn't even go off until 8.30!) I decided to have a play.  After seeing Frankie's tag for her TIO challenge - Dreaming Haute Couture  I thought I would have a go. I started off by colouring the tag with Silkies -Tuscan Satin, Pearl Satin and a very little amount of Bronze Brocade I bought these early last year and this is the first time I have actually used them. I found out an old set of Art Deco unmounted stamps and overstamped the background with scent bottles and handbags, with DI Tea Dye,  I also stamped 'Dream a little Dream' randomly.  The main image is coloured with Promarkers and mounted onto some brown cs. I've had these stamps for ages and cannot remember the manufacturer. I added the feather and a couple of hatpins.  I finished off with the flower which was white, I swiped it with Versamark and then dusted it with some mica powder to tone in with the card. 

I am also entering my tag into My Time to Craft - Ladies Day

Thanks for visiting and also for the lovely comments you have been leaving

Art Deco Lady

Good Evening, my card to share with you is for a customer who requested the wording for the front of the card which limited me to a certain extent. The image is from Card Creations+ Art Deco cd matted onto black and then matt silver card with matching bp. The flowers are from my stash, the leaves punched.  I have added a few gems to the bp and onto the hat so that I could enter my card into the My Time To Craft Challenge which this week is Jewel.

Thank you for stopping by today and for the comments you leave;  they are really appreciated.
