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

Paper Piecing

I love paper piecing - and now I've discovered paper piecing with digi paper on a digi image I love it even more.

This one however, has not been done that way and I printed the image over a scrap of this black polka dot paper.

Hobbycutz Challenge

Morning all.

It's time for a new challenge at Hobbycutz

This week our theme is

All Tied Up

Our sponsor this week is Kenny K who kindly gave the DT some images to play with.

I've used Bow for my card and I've cropped her! I love that you can change digi images like this, it's so much fun. As I come to write my blog post I realise that there's something missing from my card... the theme is all tied up  so perhaps I should have put some ribbon on the card BUT.. she's wearing a ribbon and I've tried to make the Hobbycutz flowers look like a bow. Don't say anything though I don't think anyone will notice ;)

This is our last challenge until 12th January so you've got some time to enter!

Rockin' (but not around the Christmas Tree)

Afternoon from a very wet and windy Glasgow. Now I was supposed to be having some peace and quiet this afternoon with all the boys going through to Edinburgh for the Hibs v Aberdeen game but sadly Scott didn't feel up to it so Andy went by himself and the boys stayed here! To be honest, if the weather is as rubbish through there as it is here I'm glad Scott didn't go.

So I went to the SECC on Thursday for the craft show and went back again today (but only very briefly as I had the boys) - and I was really inspired when I came home on Thursday but was out Thursday night so wasn't able to do very much.  Last night was Crafty Night and I got to the Cabin and was completely lacking in any inspiration :( 

This is a card my friend asked me to make for her kids to give to their Dad.  It's quite hard making a card for other kids' parents - I know what Andy and the boys like but it's harder knowing what other folk like!

Anyway, this is what I came up with. I used the Kenny K Anime Rocker stamp and teamed it with the Dienamics tshirt and I found a wee guitar in some stash I bought at the SECC in March.

Cheers, Dude

And with a sigh of relief I wave the children off to breakfast club this morning....

Actually the holiday was fine and we've all survived. 

We woke up yesterday morning to snow and it continued to snow throughout the morning. As Craig was going to the school Valentine disco last night we had to go and get him a hair cut so we got all wrapped up and walked down to the barbers. Popped into a friends on the way back for half an hour and by the time we came out it had started raining. And it hasn't stopped since! So no snow left.

Today's card is a card I made for a friend's special birthday which was last week... I was actually going to put his age on it but it didn't seem to fit somehow and nothing seemed to be working. So I left it on the my craft mat for a couple of hours and went back to it and had the idea of using the circular date stamp from LOTV so it doesn't actually *say* his age ;)

Wet and Windy Wednesday

Morning all.

Not a terribly great photo this morning - think it was probably too bright when I took the photo... yeah, I know too bright eh!?

This is almost the same card as I made before but I was asked to do another one with purple hair and to get Black Veil Brides somewhere on it... 

I did have a few ideas but then I got the flu so the card became a little simpler than I had anticipated. 

One of the gifts that Santa brought me for Christmas was the Dienamics Masculine TShirt Die and Sentiment set so it was perfect to get BVB on, which I printed off on the computer and then lined up to cut the t shirt out with. On reflection perhaps the female t shirt would have been better but never mind. One to add to the list (as long as I can buy it by itself as I'm not so sure I'd ever use the female sentiments!)

Anyway, the birthday girl liked it so that's all that matters :)

You Rock!

Morning. 

Another busy day ahead trying to get organised before the boys stop next week and I don't get any time to get anything done!

Still got a few presents to buy and yes, I still have Christmas cards to make.... I really really should start.

However, it's not a Christmas card I have for you today. It's a birthday card I was asked to do for an Auntie... a rock chick Auntie.  And apparently I got it right, the Auntie in question has boots like these, has had purple hair and her husband plays the guitar....

Nurse, Pass The Smelling Salts

Busy busy busy today. I'm off up to school shortly. Scott's class has been participating in football sessions and parents are invited up today for an interactive workshop.... Mmmm. Me? Interactive? I think not ;) I used to do everything in my power to get out of PE at school and here I am, voluntarily, going up to school to do something to do with exericse. Lost my mind, clearly.

Then after that I'm off to the Crafty Cabin for a daytime crafting jaunt because tonight we're going to George Square to see the Christmas Lights get switched on! I may collapse in a heap by the time I get home.

So on to today's card. This is one I was asked to make by my friend for her friend's birthday. My brief was that the friend liked shopping! What better image than this Kenny K girl :)
