Crafty Sentiments Challenge

Morning all.

It's time for a new challenge at Crafty Sentiments Designs

This week our theme is

Fun in The Sun

Now, I live in Scotland.. we don't see the sun very often so I wasn't sure what to do with this challenge... and I actually picked out some paper with umbrellas to use with Teddy Jack (well, I thought it was funny) but then my lovely friend Sandra and I ended up in a craft shop in Glasgow where they had these fab beach papers for 25p! A bargain! So Teddy Jack went to the beach, in the sun.

Love to Create Challenge

Morning all.

Hope you had a good weekend and that wherever you are the sun came out!

It's time for a new challenge at Love to Create

This week our theme is

Paper Piecing

Our sponsors this week are The Stamping Chef and Di's Digi Downloads.  Tamara over at TSC was kind enough to give us some images to play with and I chose Lost Fairy for mine.

So I printed off the image and then I printed her again on the DP but I decided I didn't like her. Cass told me she'd look better once I'd coloured her so at the Cabin on Thursday I coloured her hair but still wasn't sure. So Cass suggested I use gold gilding flakes on her wings... was even less sure once I'd done that. On Friday I looked at her again and coloured her in and cut her out but still not overly sure. Then I had a brainwave.. (you can almost see the light bulb coming on can't you) and decide to make a tag using some Inkylicious stamps and DI's... and do you know what...... I really like her now!

Sweet Stampin' Challenge

Morning all, it's Saturday and that means it's time for a new challenge at Sweet Stampin'. 

This week our theme is

Something Sweet

Our sponsor this week is our very own Natali and Iva Nova Chest and our monthly sponsor is The Ribbon Girl who are offering a £10 voucher to the monthly winner.

When I was at the Crafty Cabin a couple of weeks ago and I was looking for something else I came across this sentiment and decided it would be perfect for the challenge and I was inspired by our lovely Wedgie! 

I stamped the cookie stamp all over the card blank and then used a scalloped piece of card as a mat which I stamped the LotV recipe stamp all over.

Wishy Washi

Morning all.

Today should have been the annual end of term fun day for the kids at school but unfortunately due to an adverse weather forecast it's had to be postponed. Even though I'm not able to help this year I'm still a bit gutted by this! Flamin' typical though. Beautiful all last week and when there's something arranged it threatens to chuck it down.

So onto today's card. This is the birthday card I made for my lovely friend Cathy which I've got to be honest was kinda thrown together... not in a bad way you understand. 

I decided to use this fab image from Saturated Canary - Washi Tape Kind of Girl and coloured her with my pens. Then I decided to team her with some gingham paper (one of Cathy's faves) and then I decided to add some Kraft and I'd always had the idea of using the button embossing folder for this image. Once I'd stuck it all together I decided I'd actually use some Washi Tape for the tape on her fingers (and in her hair).... then, just as I thought I was finished I decided to use the LOTV stitches stamp to add some stitching round the edge - this is not a technique I'd recommend cos I was terrified I'd make pigs ear of the whole thing!

After I'd done all that I posted it to Cathy..... then I remembered I hadn't photographed it so I had to get Cathy to do that and email it to me!!

That Craft Place Challenge

Morning all.

It's time for a new challenge at That Craft Place

This time our theme is

Independence Day
so you could go red white and blue, with an American theme... something to do with Will Smith perhaps

And here is my card. As soon as I saw Krista at Saturated Canary bring out this Bikini and Burgers image I knew it would be perfect for this challenge. 

The sentiment in case you can't read it says....

I eat burgers and french fries too. I wear flip flops and coconut sunscreen. I have messy hair. I run and I rock a bikini. I have flaws and a beautiful smile. I like barbeques and loud music too. I love the sun on my skin. I am not perfect but I am a real girl.
