Penny Black Saturday Challenge 19 "ATC"

This week over on the Penny Black Saturday Challenge Blog the challenge is to make an ATC featuring at least one Penny Black stamp. I have used an image that I received in the post today from fellow GoGo Girl Jenny. I have coloured it with ProMarkers using the following colours...

Berry Red (Letterbox)
Ice Grey 1 (Letterbox sign)
Moss (Scarf)
Sandstone/Cinnamon/Cocoa (Hedgehog)
Cinnamon/Berry Red (Robin)
Pastel Blue (Shadow)

A Whiff of Joy Blog Challenge 4 "Autumn Colours"

This week over on the Whiff of Joy Challenge Blog the theme is "Autumn Colours". I have used one of the newest release stamps and coloured her with my ProMarkers using the following colours...
Ivory/Blush (Skin)
Pastel Yellow/Mustard/Gold (Hair)
Cornflower (Jeans)
Apricot/Moss (Top)
Ruby (Hair bows)
Moss/Ruby (Umbrella)
Pastel Blue (Shadows)

I have used October Afternoon papers from the "Daydreams" and "Detour" ranges and Core-dinations cardstock. The sentiment was done using core-dinations cardstock cut into strips and put through my ATB tape writer. Once the letters are embossed rub a piece of sandpaper over the top to reveal the lighter core... For the colour choices I just looked out of my lounge window and the colours I can see are blue (sky) green/orange & red (leaves)...I love Autumn, it is easily my favourite season....so much beauty and we always seem to have clearer blue skies than we do in the summer....just without the heat.

We had to cancel our plans to visit the Sacrewell Lodge Farm to pick a pumpkin as my cold has gotten a lost worse, and my head feels like it might explode....so instead I am having a cozy day crafting in my PJ's.

A Spoon Full of Sugar Challenge 21 "Lim's Sketch"

This week over on A Spoon Full of Sugar Challenge Blog a sketch has been provided by Lim. For my card I have used a hAnglar & stAnglar image coloured with ProMarkers using the following colours...

Pastel Yellow/Mustard/Gold (Hair)
Cornflower (Dungarees)
Moss (T-Shirt & Shoes)
Ice Grey 1 (Socks)
Cinnamon (Basket)
Maroon/Sandstone (Bottle)
Turquoise/Sandstone (Blankets)
The papers are October Afternoon "Daydreams" and Scenic Route "Sumner". The circles were cut with my nestabilities and I have added Doodlebug glitter brads and some bling. I have finished the card off with a sentiment by Printworks.

Georgia and I were just getting ready to head to school when my mobile rang, it was my friend (one of the parents of Georgia's friend) who is a Governor at the school...and now the Schools Office Manager...to say that the school is closed today as they have no water and don't know when it will be back on. Georgia thinks it is great as she gets the day off school...but it screws up my working day and now I have to contact my client and rearrange. Not so easy when you have half term in the month meaning there is already a week when you are not working....oh well...all good fun, and now we can go to HobbyCraft.

Tomorrow we are planning a visit to Sacrewell Farm out near Peterborough....Pumpkin picking. I thought it would be a fab photo opportunity and fun at the same time.

Sneaky Peeks......Christmas Magnolia's

HERE is a sneaky look at the new Christmas Magnolia's. This dutch website has them on pre-order.....I am waiting until they are available direct from Magnolia, but it is great to see the new stamps....there are so many, and some/loads of the theme are fab. Magnolia DT member, Andrea has been showing designs with them on her blog, and they are fab.....come on Magnolia release them already, or how will I ever get all my Christmas cards made in time.

So go over and check out the challenge and see what the DT have come up with.....they are all so fab, and also co cute.

I have not been crafting as much this week as I am feeling under the weather. I have been having headaches everyday for almost a week, so the Doctor has suggested that I keep a diary of when, where it hurts and now much pain reflief I have to take....I will go back in a couple of weeks and he will see if there is a pattern....I had a slight headache earlier, but went out for some fresh air and it is almost gone...I am hoping to get back into the swing of things tonight.

Cute Card Thursday Challenge 30 "Buttons & Bows"

This week over on the Cute Card Thursday Challenge Blog the theme is "Buttons & Bows". Feeling totally inspired by Marlene's gorgeous Christmas Tree....I so wanted to copy, but couldn't find a tree stamp that worked....so finally gave up. For my card I have used one of my new High Hopes stamps, with a sentiment by Kelly Panacci. The papers are from the new DCWV Xmas Paper Stack and I have used some of the new core-dinations cardstock that I got yesterday. With added buttons from my stash and American Craft ribbons tied into bows....and of course some added bling.

Ok, so I better get back to crafting.....plenty of time to surf later.....or Sunday maybe. Have a great weekend everyone.

A Spoon Full of Sugar Challenge 20 "Pink & Green"

Here is a card I made for this weeks challenge over on A Spoon Full of Sugar Challenge Blog. Thge image is byElisabeth Bell for Sugar Nellie, and I have coloured her using ProMarkers, colours as follows...
Ivory/Blush (Skin)
Cinnamon/Umber (Hair)
Magenta (Hat)
Turquoise (Trousers & Hair Ties)
Blossom (Top & Flowers)
Lime Green (Grass & Foilage)

The papers I have used are from the Simplicity range by Fancy Pants and I have used a couple of Prima flowers, with a Doodlebug glitter brad and spacer in the centre. The sentiment is one by PrintWorks that I got from Stamp Addicts, and the flourish in the corner is from the same pack. I used a Stampin' Up punch to make the tab and finally added some Stickles and Sakura clear glitter gel pen for sparkle.

Well my stash is packed and I am about to head upstairs to pack my clothes, and then at lunchtime I am heading off to Chesham to the Hotel for a weekend of self indulgence.....well crafting and eating...CHILD FREE.....yay what luxury.

A Couple of Cards...

I finally finished off this card last night. It had been sitting on my craft table for a couple of days. I just couldn't decide how to do the sentiment.....it is hard to stamp onto brown cardstock. In the end I decided to use my ATB tape writer and a tag. I love the combination of colours as it reminds me of raspberry truffle....yum yum. All the cardstock (inc the CI cardstock with holes by Samantha Walker) and the felt heart were from my September ScrapaGoGo kit, I added the Prima Flowers, gems and the tag and tape writer sentiment. The image is one of the hAnglar & stAnglar Winter Club Kit...and is so cute, although I think I prefer the little boy version with his backward facing cap.....so cute.

This was a quick and easy card I made for a Car Crazy Football loving male....All I have used on this card are papers from the Forever Friends "For Him" paper pad, with an added sentiment is a stamp by PrintWorks that I got at Ally Pally from Stamp Addicts....I really must drive over there and get some of the other packs....they were fab.

Last night I started to pack my stash for the weekend...cannot wait. Just have to finish work at 3pm today and I am done for the week....really looking forward to tomorrow, a whole weekend of crafting, nice food and NO Kids/Hubbys.....BLISS

Also I have just seen that over on the hAnglar & stAnglar blog, they are showing 11 of my most recent cards. It is not the first time I have had cards on their blog...but this is the most they have featured at any one time....I do LOVE those stamps.

I also wanted to thank everyone that emailed me about the hAnglars that I was selling, they are now sold....I think I could have sold them a few times over....the correct ones are now on order, and now I have them to look forward to.

Tilda & Friends ATC Challenge "Open theme"

This week over on the Tilda & Friends ATC Challenge Blog we have an Open Theme...with a prize. As some of you may know DT member Shary is also on the Alota Stamps DT...and she has a wonderful prize up for grabs this week....we also have a little twist. This week Shary is arranging a swap of the ATC's. So if you want to participate all you need to do is make an ATC and send it to Shary (the address is on the Blog) and she will send you an ATC made by someone else. So if you have never swapped before, you can now....there is also a chance that you will receive an ATC from a DT member as some of us are also taking part....mine is up for grabs if anyone is interested. Ok, so I have used another hAnglar & stAnglar image, coloured with ProMarkers using the following colours...
Ivory/Blush (Skin)
Black (Hat)
Cocoa (Hair)
Blue Pearl (Trousers)
Rose Pink/Lavendar (Top)
Umber (Shoes)

I have added the wording using my ATB Tape Writer (I trimmed the tape down before I stuck it on so that it took up less space. The papers are from one of the Forever Friends paper pads by Paper Mania, and finally I added some pink bling.

Pop over, take a look, and come and join in the fun.

Papertake Weekly Challenge "No Stamping"

This week over on Papertake Weekly Challenge Blog, we have been given the choice of creating a card for a 1st...Birthday/Christmas...OR....a card with NO stamping. So I opted for the no stamping, and here is my card. I have used the Forever Friends "Christmas Snow", I took one of the sheets with a character on and cut it to make the focal image of the card. I have then used other sheets to mat and layer. The flowers and snowflake are both by Prima, and since this photo I have added more Stickles to the snowflakes for extra sparkle.

I really should be packing for the weekend...but have put it off until tomorrow....LOL

Another hAnglar & stAnglar card

On Sunday morning I was all caught up with the challenges on the challenge blogs that I like to follow, so decided to just sit and colour and use up some scraps from my ScrapaGoGo DT Kits...and this is what I made. All items with the exception of the ribbon (which was American Craft) and the stamped imaged (a hAnglar & stAnglar) are from the September GoGo Create Kit. The image is coloured with ProMarkers using the following colours...
Ivory/Blush (Skin)
Apricot (Hat & Ruffle)
Carmine (Tunic)
Moss (Trousers)
Pastel Blue (Shoes & Shadow)
Forest Green/Grass (Leaves of plant)
Ruby (Flowers of Plant)
Terracotta (Plant Pot)

Had a little accident when I popped out last night.....I fell out of the front door and badly twisted my ankle....those that know me/have followed by blog for a while will know that I fell down the stairs on Christmas morning last year and damaged the ligaments in my right foot...and now almost a year on and it is still weaker and I have gone over on it on more than one occasion this year. Anyway, I am hobbling a little but still mobile...just. It needs to be better for the weekend as I am off Scrapping for the weekend with the ladies of the MKScrappers Crop.....yay, a whole weekend being fed in the hotel and crafting all day/evening.

I got another parcel from Sweden with more hAnglar & stAnglars in.....sadly they are not the ones that I wanted (as I already have them), and at the moment I am not sure if it a misunderstanding between myself and the lady that orders them for me (if so I will have 2 sets of the Spring/Summer Klubb Kit for sale) or whether it is a mistake made by hAnglar.....I am just waiting to hear back. So if you are interested drop me an email and I will give you details.

A little seasonal look....

As Halloween is fast approaching, I have given my Blog a little seasonal motive.....just until the end of October....or sooner if I get bored with it.

High Hopes Challenge #2

This week over on the High Hopes Rubber Stamps Blog the challenge was to use Blue/Green/Brown and any neutrals. For my card I have used an image given to me by a friend. I have coloured it using ProMarkers and I believe the colours were (forgive me...I coloured it weeks ago...
Ivory/Blush (Skin)
Apricot/Gold (Hair)
Grass (Grass & Leaves)
Lime Green (Hat)
Apple (Top)
Sky Blue (Jeans)
Gold/Pastel Yellow (Flowers)

The papers are both my My Mind's Eye and were part of my September ScrapaGoGo kit. The metal "Friends" sentiment was given to me, but for the life of me I cannot remember by who. The sentiment stamp is by PrintWorks, ribbon by SU, and flowers by Prima. I have added Sakura clear glitter gel pen to her hair and Stickles to the Prima flower.

Thanks to the High Hopes DT for the challenge and as always for their inspiration.

Stampin' Up and hAnglar & stAnglar

I went to my first Stampin' Up party on Thursday since the new catalogue came out and started to make a couple of items. I made the basics of the card above, although I cocked up and had to remove part of it due to a grammar mistake...I put First Happy Birthday, instead of Happy First Birthday...what a doughnut.... Anyway originally I used the light blue cardstock and jumbo roller with the circles/dots on with a Versamark inkpad....but had to swap it for a scrap of Bazzill I had in a darker blue. Anyway the base of the card if the cream (not sure of the SU colour) the dark brown is Choc Chip and I am not sure of the lighter brown...so I am pretty useless really. Over the weekend I added the hAnglar & stAnglar "Boy on the Bike" from the Winter Club Kit coloured with ProMarkers using the following colours...
Ivory/Blush (Skin)
Pastel Yellow/Gold (Hair)
Cornflower (Jeans & Neckerchief)
Blue Pearl/Sandstone (Top)
Blue Pearl (Cap)
Cocoa (Shoes)
Cinnamon/Ice Grey 1,2 & 3 (Bicycle)
I use my Nestabiities to cut the oval, and added a kite stamp by Magnolia cololoured using ProMarkers and the same colours as the main image, with added embroidery thread to make the strings of the kite. The sentiment was done using DoodleBug stamps and Stampendous stamps, and finally to finish it off a few buttons from my stash.

This next card was made using the offcut of the background paper I made at the party....the scrap of the part I cocked up on the previous card. Again I added a hAnglar & stAnglar image and coloured with my ProMarkers...colours as follows...
Ivory/Blush (Skin)
Pastel Yellow/Gold (Hair)
Sandstone (Banner)
Pastel Blue (Shadow)
Finished off with a pice of SU Choc Chip Taffeta...such a simple little card and at 3 x 3 inches...my DD loved it.

Cute Card Thursday Challenge 30 "Christmas Animals"

This week over on the Cute Card Thursday the challenge is to make a Christmas Animal card. As luck would have it I bought on last weekend at Ally Pally. The stamp is by Creative Expressions and I have coloured it with my ProMarkers using the following colours...
Ice Grey 1 (Fur)
Blush (Nose)
Gold (Star)
Ruby/Gold/Lime Green (Lights)

I have used more of the K&Co "Peppermint Twist" papers, this time choosing more of the green/red colours as opposed to the pinker ones last time. I have added American Craft ribbon, Prima flowers and a few gems, finished off with a sentiment by Kelly Panacci " We Believe in Santa". When I coloured him, I tried to use uneven strokes with the pen to make his fur look more dimensional.

Went to a Stampin' Up party last night and got to see the new catalogue. Sadly SU didn't let the demonstrators order from the new catalogue befoe Oct, so we couldn't see many of the new sets....I think they only allowed them to see 4 of the new sets. I ordered the cleaning mat, the "Crazy for Cupcakes" set and the new "Tab stamps" that match their tab punch (which I already had)...been wanting the stamp cleaning pad for a while, so looking forward to it arriving.

A Spoon Full of Sugar Challenge 19 "Sketch by Camilla"

I have also added Prima flowers and snowflake, and I have added some Stickles to the snowflake and flower centre for extra Christmas sparkle...topped off with gems dotted around and a sentiment by Kelly Panacci.

I am really pleased with the finished results, and I love the LO of the card...so huge thanks for Camilla for the sketch. Georgia told me both my cards from last night were "fantabulous"....how cute is she...

Ismaki Challenge 33 by Beatrix

This week over on the Ismaki Blog the sketch has been provided by the lovely Beatrix. She also gave us the option of using leaves, and for the first time ever, I have managed to add the option.

For my card I have used October Afternoon "Country Fayre" papers, from October 2007 ScrapaGoGo Kit....and lush the kit was, not difficult with these gorgeous papers. I have used one of my new hAnglar & stAnglar Winter Club Kit stamps and coloured her with ProMarkers as follows...

The ribbon is by American Craft and the flowers are by Prima....cannot believe I actually used FIVE without hyper-ventilating...LOL, under the top flower stack I have added a Maya Road charm that says "love". Finally I have finished it off with a sentiment by Printworks that I got at Ally Pally from Stamp Addicts, punched out with a circle punch and chalked with a little Sakura glitter gel pen as a finishing touch.

Check out the Ismaki Blog, there are cards from some very talented International card makers.

Tilda & Friends ATC Challenge "It's a Wrap"

This week over on the Tilda & Friends ATC Challenge Blog, we are challenging you to wrap something around your ATC. So for mine I have used some SU choc chip taffeta ribbon (yum...sounds good enough to eat). The rest of the items I have used are October Afternoon "Country Fayre" papers that were in Oct 2007 ScrapaGoGo kit...they are still lush one year on.....I believe they were the first line by October Afternoon, and I have loved all the ranges that have come since. Anyway, back to the ATC. I have used 2 of the new Winter Club Kit hAnglar & stAnglar stamps...and I think they fit the theme as they are both "wrapped" up warm in mittens, scarfs and hats.....hehehehe. I have coloured both the images with my ProMarkers using the following colours....
Ivory/Blush (skin)
BOY
Cocoa/Apricot (Hair)
Olive Green/Sandstone (Hat/Scarf & Gloves)
Moss/Sandstone (Jumper)
Petrol Blue (Trousers)
Umber (Boots)

GIRL
Cocoa/Apricot (Hair)
Apricot (Hat/Gloves & Boots)
Maroon (Trousers)
Sandstone/Maroon (Jumper)
Pastel Green (Scarf)

To finish it off and add to the "wrapped" theme, I am making a little envelope for it to live in.

So why not come over and join us. Last week we proved that you don't have to make ATC's to swap, you can turn them into something else....and remember you are allowed to use "friends" now, so Hanglars, Spiral Whispers, Sugar Nellies, Cuddly Buddlys....basicly any stamp with a cute round face that matches Tilda.
