Crafting When We Can DT - Favourite Hobby/Activity

Good Morning! 

My last week then I'm off from Friday onwards.... wahay!

Over at CWWC we have the new fortnightly challenge. This week the challenge theme is "Favourite Hobby/Activity" and we are sponsored by the awesome Ppinkydolls. I'd never heard of these images before but now I'm hooked! They are soooo super cute! :) 

I've used Octopus Girl which can be found HERE. She is adorable. When I was a little girl I used to have a green and purple swimsuit and I loved to build sandcastles, although I'd go next step and make a fortress, hence where the sentiment has come from for the greeting. I've coloured her usingspectrum noir pens and promarkers. Went for something a lilly different with the colours too. The yellow is glitter card and the purple is like cracked. Simple but yet still super cute :) 

Please do pop by the blog and take a peek!

I absolutely LOVE the girlies from Some Odd Girl! 

They do fit pretty much any occasion and are suitable for any age. 

The boys are very cute too :) 

So, the card itself is for Fay, she has Gok style glasses and loves pale blue. Perfect! 

Full card

 The image has been coloured using Spectrum Noir pens. Fabulous. They blend so well. The "13" was printed and cut out by hand. It's the design to look a little rough around the edges ;)

The layout is from the Papertake Weekly Challenge which I'm entering this card into, Sketch #84.

I didn't think spots, stripes, gingham and stars would go but I'm pretty happy with it. 

Here's a few more photos:

 So hoping Fay will like it! 

Ready for Summer....

... well, WOW! Snow in Feb?! What lovely British weather we have! 

So after getting soaked at the football yesterday (my team actually WON! wahay!) I decided to make a bright card. Summer Kaylee had been pre-coloured, using pro-markers, all I had to do was make the card, so lime green and orange it was! The layout for the card is from the current Some Odd Girl Sketch - found here. 

So, here is what I came up with:

 I do love these images and the sketch, I'm about to use it again on another SOG card I've got to make. The black border is hand-drawn on as well :)

Off to colour some more SOG's.

Valentine's

I don't "do" Valentine's if I'm honest, but I did get asked to make a card for it. 

So here it is:

Full card 

The image is from Some Odd Girl. I do love these images! Perfect for every occasion. The criteria for the card was "Black & Red, a couple on the front, the sentiment and roses". think I've managed to tick every box.

A Little Flapper....

Hello! 

How is everyone enjoying the snow? We are forecast more here in Birmingham tonight. Lovely.

Had a bit of a mind blank today, or maybe it was the fact that I had too many ideas floating round my head?! Either way, I only got 2 cards done. The first one I did was the one this post is about... A Little Flapper.... 

Full Card

Isn't she super cool?! 

She's a Kenny K digi coloured in and cut out. I was in two minds whether to glitter up her feather boe but decided against it. (I'd made enough mess already!) Me being a bright spark by deciding to use feathers....... fail!! I hate feathers with a passion! I hate the feel of them, so out came the rubber gloves! I'm glad I used them tho. Adds a bit more detail. 

The challenges I'm entering my card into are the following:

1. Cute Card Thursday - Diamonds are forever...

~ These are on her head dress, around the oval and the brad on the bow ~

 

2. Charisma Cards - Punch it! Use at least 2 punches

 ~ I have used a cirlce punch for the sentiment, a circle punch for the surrounding circle, a heart punch which is under the ribbon bow and a Martha Stewart border punch ~

3. The Sketchy Challenges - Karen's Sketch

 Here are some pics of the details:

Creative day today

Was having a creative day today. Still got loads of ideas buzzing round too but here are the other cards I made.. 

Card One : Diva! Yes, I did draw the swirl and yes I did stick all the gems on individually! Took ages!!

Card Two : Cali Girl...  This image was actually coloured by my Mom. She got all excited when I showed her that I had put the image onto a card :) bless. Just need to add a sentiment.

Card Three : My Guy Ian... a cute & fun boys card.

Baby Shower Invites

I made 30 of these lil bad bhoys! Image is from Lili of the Valley and I have to say... It's a beauty!! 

A couple of invites

 The lady who ordered them, doesn't know what sex the baby is.. so hence the green & lemon.. they turned out pretty well if I'm honest :) I pleased with them anyways.

Just one card

The image has been coloured using promarkers. The green of the sling and baby grow are different greens but it doesn't show on the picture :)
