Growing Up is optional

Hello -
I am sharing you a card I made for the Father in Laws birthday last weekend. I loved this sentiment and thought this image called Duncan Disorderly was perfect to go with it.

 

Curious how the "creative process" works (Not really sure I can call what I do something so professional...!!) I wonder if you build a card or pick an image around an idea or something in your craft stash or if like me you as I just colour and see what happens!!

I used dies, Striped paper and the stamped sentiment from My Favourite things. I coloured the image with copics and the letters are Thickers from American Crafts.

I hope you like Duncan and I will be back next Sunday with more fab Dr Digi images,

Dad's birthday

Morning -
I made this card for My Dad who's birthday it was yesterday. He has just got a new car so thought this image would be funny - especially as it has our little dog Bertie in the front basket!! The image is called Fatman and Bobbin from Dr Digi.

  

I used Doodlebug paper and a stamp greeting from lawn fawn. I die cut the image with a my favourite things die and added star letters. 

Right I am actually at work today so im not at all bitter for you all having a nice relaxing Sunday. 

Have a good day,

Time to meet Captain Gneng.

Morning -
I don't know about you but 2018 flew by for me - I can't believe we are nearly in March already and to think it will be 2020 soon. When I was a kid I imagined in 2020 we would all be living in space and flying around on hoverboards like something from Back to the Future!! But reality is we prob won't have encoutered an Aliens like our Captain Gneng 

Right - I better get on... got to get some miles in before some more DIY! No wonder the days are flying by !!

See you soon,

Birthday Bot celebrates

Morning - for todays Dr Digi card I have used an image called Birthday Bot. The picture is not so great as I took it late last night and I still don't have a craft room and probably won't have for some time yet!
It's the Husbands birthday next weekend and he says he doesn't need anything or want anything as we have spent lots of money lately with all the renovations but is it acceptable to not buy a single gift??? Let me know your thoughts as I still think I should get something!!
Right all for now,
Have a lovely day, Liz (:(|)x

Birthday Monsters

Today is the start of a new challenge at I love Promarkers and our theme is Birthdays -Easy right!! So no excuses not to get your entries in!! We are sponsored by Bugaboo and I've used this fab image called Birthday Monsters 

 

All the patterned papers are from Doodlebug Hip Hip Hooray collection.  The image was cut out with a Lawn fawn circle die which I trimed down to the stitched detail so I could mat it onto the orange die cut. I cut the tag by hand and punched a hole to feed the ribbon through which I tied with some twine. I used glaze and cosmic shimmer on the balloons and added some googly eyes to the monsters, The greeting is a clear sticker from Kaisercraft and the other letters are from Doodlebug. I used a little silver and white pen to add details and finally a few little stars scattered around.

I used these promarkers and flexmarkers to colour the image - 

Aquamarine, Oasis & Frosted Jade.

True Blue, Royal Blue, Egyptian Blue & Sky Blue 

Canary, Gold & Mandarin

Lime Zest, Lime Twist, Lime Green & Pear Green 

Hope you like this colourful card

Koalaty Pun!!

Morning - How cool is this Dude?? So cool - it's his name! This is Keith the Cool Koala 
And you know how much I love a pun... so I hope you agree this is a "Koalaty" card... you get it??

I die cut the edge of the card with a Puffy cloud die from Lawn Fawn and covered the corner of the base card with green spotty paper from My Favourite Things - Just delightful Citrus paper. I cut a balloon shape from the same paper.
I used 3d foam to attach Keith and the balloon and used a thin black marker pen to make it look like he was holding the balloon.
I used Doodlebug Love letters sticker to spell out "Koalaty" and the other words are from Harolds ABC alphabet stamps which I stamped with black ink
I used a little bit of white  and black pen to add some little details.

I used these promarkers and flexmarkers to colour the image -
Keith's fur - Cool Grey 1, 2, 3, 4 & 5 with a little Black

Festival weekend.

Afternoon All -
I had a technical clitch this morning with my camera - hence the reason for an afternoon post rather then this morning.

So this weekend has been our local Festival on the field at the end of our road (A little too handy to pop in for unhealthy lunch of Crepes and Doughnuts!!) Its also been lovely and warm so the Power of Deirdrey last weekend def helped!
With the festival in mind I've made a birthday card using Strongo the Magnificent. We didn't quite have circus side shows but we did have A Dog Show, Morris Dancers and a Scarecrow Competition!! We went to the live band last night and along with  a fair bit of wine and dancing - We all had a brilliant night.

All the papers are from Carta Bella Circus Party collection and the greeting from Pebbles. I used a My Favourite things die cut to create the frame and added a few matte sprinkles from Doodlebug, along with some gold pen for details like buttons.

I used these promarkers and flexmarkers -
Skin - Usual
Suit - Poppy, Ruby & Burgundy with Aquamarine shading.
Belt, Boots and hair - Warm greys.

Hope it was worth the wait!!
