Allsorts challenge #16

Hello everyone,

Hope you are all fine and dandy and enjoying your day no matter where you are or what you are doing.

I'm going to start my post this evening with a bit of a whinge. I have had so much trouble lately not only loading pages but leaving comments on peoples blogs so I do apologise if people are not receiving them. I'm always leaving comments but once I hit the button to send them it freezes. I really do hope I can fix this problem and soon it's driving me crazy.

Anyways, I have done complaining this is a card that I finished yesterday but was unable to post it because the kiddies were hogging the computer. gggrrrrr.

This is my entry for the challenge over at Allsorts. This week you AREN'T ALLOWED to use rubber, so I have used one of my digi images done by Dustin Pike. I have coloured him with my wonderful water coloured pencils, popped him onto some stitched star paper by Kaszazz. The card stock is from my stash and the Happy Birthday die cut, is done with my new cuttlebug using a sizzix die cut.

Anyways, off to cook some dinner.

Thanks for stopping by

Secret Crafter Challenge #47

Hello everyone,

Well it has been a while since I have had the time to get to the craft table but I have been able to get into my chair this morning and do a card, let's hope it is the first of many today. This card is for the challenge over at The Secret Crafter. The challenge this time is "Flights of Fancy". (So sorry the picture is not all that great)

I have chosen to use this gorgeous little image by Pollycraft (Part of the sherbet collection) coloured her with, you guessed it, my water coloured pencils and aqua brush. The patterned paper is by Cloud9 Designs titled Fairy Princess Wands. The plain card stock is from my stash and the white card is a bazzill SB. I added a bit of stickles to her wings to add a bit of sparkle.

Well I'm off to visit my in-laws and I hope to be back later today with another card.

Thanks for stopping by

Sketch Saturday

Hello everybody,

I haven't dropped off the planet just a busy little bee with no craft time boohoo :(

I did manage to get one card done over the weekend and this one is for the great sketch over at Sketch Saturday.

They have a fab sketch this week to follow and this is what I came up with.

My image, Tilda of course, is coloured with my water coloured pencils, Flowers by Prima, Rhinestones by Kaiser craft, The background is done with my NEW cuttle bug using a pendant template by Spellbinders. All the card stock and letters are from my stash (leftovers from other projects).

So I'm off, my wonderful hubby brought me a new set of draws for my papers and I have to go fill them and then mmmmaaaaayyyybbbee another card or two.

Take care

Secret Crafter Challenge #44

Hello how is everyone today?

I have finally gotten around to doing a challenge and this one is for the fantastic challenge over at The Secret Crafter. The challenge this week is Cute as a Bug.

So I have created this little card using my Tilda stamp and coloured her with my water coloured pencils and my aqua brush. The black and white paper is by The glitter stack (It does have a beautiful silver sparkle through out the whole of the pattern the camera just didn't pick it up). The lady bugs and card stock are from my stash.

Now I'm off to play with Scout before she destroys anything else in the house....lol.

Take care

Guess what we got! (take two, newer photo)

I would like to introduce you to our new family member.

Her name is Scout and she is about 5 months old. She is a cross between a Red Heeler and a Pointer. Isn't she a cutie!

We got her from a fantastic organisation called S.A.F.E. . Saving Animals From Euthanasia. These people do a wonderful job in saving these babies and if you have a place in your heart for a pet please pop by their site.

We surprised the kids earlier today (I'm mummy of the year, YEH me!)

She absolutely adores the kids and I think that they think she is the ants pants too. At the moment she is trying her hardest to jump in the bath with the twins. Oh my, what have I gotten us into!

Anyways, I'm just letting you all in on the secret and I'm hoping to be back tomorrow with a few cards. I have to go save the twins.....lol

Bye for now

Oh So busy!

Hi everybodies, So sorry I haven't dropped by and left any comments lately, I have been very very busy with my new job, the kiddies and working on a little surprise for my kids ( I will let you all in on the secret Sunday). I will, hopefully, get around to popping by and doing some cards soon. Come next week I will only be working Thursdays and Fridays, so you know what that means.............Craft table here I come! Take care everyone Maree x

HELP ME!

Hi everyone, I'm having so much trouble leaving comments and viewing peoples posts. Is anyone else having these worries or is it just me and my computer, It's driving me NUTTY! (or should I say NUTTIER!....lol) Hope someone can help. Maree x

This is the last for today, I have had such a great day at finishing all the cards that I have started and being time challenged I haven't been able to finish until today, it's a shame I have to work tomorrow :( .

This is for another challenge this time over at Paper Take where you can pick your own colour combo. Sorry the photo is a little dark still using Possum's camera.

I have picked a maroon card (from my stash) and a very dark blue/green from the Bazzill range called Bahama. I have coloured the awesome Tilda in water coloured pencils added a bit of Kaiser craft pearl chalks, pale blue, to get rid of the stark white background and added a Prima flower with a Kaiser craft Rhinestone to give it some Bling.

Thanks again for stopping by.

Creative Card Crew #20 Polka Dots

Told ya I would be back and I hoping I will get one more card done today before tea needs cooking.

This one is for the challenge over at The Creative Card Crew where the theme is Polka dots.

I have used another one of my Tilda stamps, I have an obsession with her, coloured here my water coloured pencils and my Tom Bow pens. The dotty paper is from The Glitter stack, yep it has glitter in it, the pink card is a Bazzill card called 'Bubble Gum'. The little brass flower charm is by Francheville, the ribbon by Dashes, Dots and Checks.

O.K so I'm off again maybe back later with another finished card. Thanks for stopping by.

A Spoon full of sugar # 61 Swirls

Well Howdy Ladies, (oh and men)

Hope we are all fine and dandy and the sun is shining brightly where ever you may be.

Well it has been an extremely busy week I'm really enjoying my new job. Don't worry Heidi I have kept away from those mouth watering cakes, it's just the pizza's that are jumping out at me saying "eat me, eat me".......lol.

Anyways, this is my entry for the super challenge over at A Spoon Full of Sugar. The theme this week is Swirls.

I have used some more new paper, this one is by Alison Ellis titled 'Her Birthday Swirls' it has the most beautiful glittered swirls on it, and I just love pink and lime together. I have also used a lime and pink ribbon that is made by Creation Station (can't believe how well this matches the paper).

My sweet little Tilda is coloured with my fav. water coloured pencils with some stickles on her wings to add a little sparkle.

The sentiment is from my stash as well as the card stock. The rhinestones are by Kaiser craft.

Well I'm off to finish another card for another challenge, see you (type you) in a bit.
