Let's Colour

Good morning,

Well, it's time - back to school today ready for the new Autumn term! Where did that six weeks go? I must admit, after dashing around doing all the washing after our little holiday, I did get to spend the day colouring yesterday while it rained, and rained, and rained some more!!

Here's what I made for my DT inspiration for the new challenge at Cardz 4 Guyz. For the next week Julie has chosen the theme of

'LET'S COLOUR'

I did keep this one quite simple, because I wanted the colouring to be the focal point.

I used little 'James Bear on his Laptop' by LOTV and coloured it with my Promarkers. He looks just like me when something goes wrong (no, not all furry, but a little bemused!) Lol.

I hope you can come and play along with us over at the challenge.

Jeans and Denim

Hi there crafty friends,

I am loving my time off school - it gives me loads of time to craft without feeling guilty! I have been playing this morning making a card for the 'Graph'It Markers challenge', although I have to say I used my Promarkers as I don't own any Graph Its. The challenge this week is to colour 'Jeans and Denim' - so here's what I made ...

I automatically thought of a boys card when I thought of denim (I know - a bit stereotypical!) so reached straight for my Polkadoodles CDs which I know have a great selection of boy images to colour. I used pale blue, denim blue, cornflower blue and cool grey 4 to colour both the jeans and shirt (I wanted to keep the monochrome effect to enter another challenge). All other items are from my stash.

I would also like to enter the challenge at 

'That Craft Place' 

which is Monochrome.

Have a great day,

Jan xx

Cherry Blossom in Pink

Well hello everyone,

I really hope you are all finding time to enjoy this gorgeous weather. I only have just over a week left at school before the summer break - I hope the weather holds.

I have a card to show you today showcasing one the gorgeous digi images by the very talented Sherry Baldy.  I was asked to join her team a couple of weeks ago and this is my first post, which can also be found on Sherri's blog HERE.

Here's what I made using one of my all time favourites ...

If you would like to buy this digi, just click HERE.

This is an 8x8" card, covered with papers from my stash. I coloured the little geisha image with my Promarkers and added a little glitter to the kimono. I added lots of extra embellishments, as usual - including a little stamped postcard (by LOTV), pink polkadot organza ribbon, dark pink die-cut border, an ivory blossom die-cut, stamped flowers and a Happy Birthday sentiment to name a few! Lol.

This one was made for my eldest daughter's birthday and she loved it - it is currently sitting in pride of place on my mantelpiece. Hope you like it too.

Have a great day

Just for You

Happy Saturday to you all,

Well, I'm half way through my Easter break from school and loving every minute of it - I have done so much crafting, I think I need to buy some more stash! Well, that's my excuse anyway! Lol.

It's my turn to post today over at the Scrapbook Stamp Society and I have a card using another one of the gorgeous images by Sherry Baldy called 'Belinda Beehive', which you can purchase from their on-line store HERE.  This one was made for a crafty friend as part of a DT sister swap over at SSS ...

The card measures 6x6" and is covered with paper from my stash.  The image is coloured with my Promarkers, with a little added glitter to make her wings sparkle. Added embellishments include a Memory Box corner die, stamped LOTV sentiment, pink organza ribbon, three die-cut flowers with candi centres and a few adhesive gems for a bit of bling. Doesn't she look so cute with her little basket of hearts.

Hope you all have a great weekend,

Hugz, Jan xx

Follow your Dreams

Happy Wednesday,

Morning to you all - it's my turn to post over at the Scrapbook Stamp Society and here's the card I made ...

I used a 6x6" card blank and covered it once again with gorgeous paper from Raspberry Road.  The image has to be one of my favourites - it's called 'Tiny and Supersaurus' by Sherri Baldy and can be found in their on-line store HERE.

I have coloured it with Promarkers, added a little glitter and highlights with a white pen.  I wanted to keep this one fairly simple to showcase the image, so have used minimal embellishments, including a gorgeous Memory Box border die, a stamped sentiment, a couple of hearts and some tiny punched flowers.

Why not pop over to the blog and check out the work of my fab teamies.
