<br />Another 2 for 1 this afternoon. The theme for Stamptacular Sunday Challenge was "Diva-tacular" and I thought this gorjuss girl just fits the bill. The layout is from this weeks Papertake Weekly challenge.
<br />
<br />I have followed a tutorial for colouring in with promarkers to colour the image as I felt my last few attampts were a little rusty.

<br />One card, two challenges.
<br />The theme on Digital Tuesday was "Going Buggy" hence the ladybird and the Sketch is from Card Patterns.

<br />Just took these this evening as a Hot Air Balloon took off from Endcliffe Park. A little bit low for my liking.

<br />Two for the price of one here. The theme for Moving Along witht the Times was "Birdys" and the layout is from this weeks Sketch Saturday challenge. Quite a simple card to make, and a break away from yellow.

<br />I think yellow must be my new favourite colour.
<br />I have made this notebook to complete two blog challenges - <a href="http://totallypapercrafts.blogspot.com/">Totally Papercrafts</a> and <a href="http://www.papertakeweekly.blogspot.com/">Papertake Weekly</a>. The theme on Totally Papercrafts was "Back to School" and seeing as I go back to school next week I decided to make this notebook for myself. The theme on Papertake Weekly was "Dies to Die For". I don't have much in the way of dies, but found these nestabilities that worked nicely with my "sunny yellow" theme.

The lovely bright colours made a change to the very grey and dismal day outside.
<br />
<br />The image was a freebie digital stamp from <a href="http://cuddlybuddly.com/freebies/">Cuddly Buddly Crafts</a>. I coloured her in using promarkers in shades of lime and yellow to match the papers.
<br />
<br />I am entering this into the blog challenges on <a href="http://digitaltuesdaychallenge.blogspot.com/">Digital Tuesday</a> where the theme was "Cute and Girly", and for <a href="http://aspoonfullofsugarchallenge.blogspot.com/">A Spoonful of Sugar</a> where the theme was "Happy Birthday".

<br />I can't believe that I have made my first christmas card and it is only the end of August.
<br />I have made this card to fulfill two blog challenges: <a href="http://sketchsaturday.blogspot.com/">Sketch Saturday</a> and<a href="http://totallypapercrafts.blogspot.com/p://"> Totally Papercrafts</a>.
<br />
<br />The papers came from my little (or rather big) box of Christmassy bits and pieces and the stamp, coloured in with promarkers, came in the latest DoCrafts goody bag.

<br />I have chosen this for this weeks <a href="http://movingalongwiththetimes.blogspot.com/">"Moving Along With the Times"</a> challenge because I remember being really pleased with the technique and the finished product.
<br />
<br /> The candle is made using a Papermania stamp on tissue paper which is then "melted" into the candle using a heat gun. I then added sticky ribbons and gems. On the back I have written the name of the bride and groom and the date of the wedding. The card is made using the same stamp and then layered on to pink roses paper.

I then added a gold ribbon and tag.

<br />I paid my first visit to Digital Tuesday this afternoon and decided to have a go at this weeks challenge, "On the Farm". I have used a cow clip art for my main image and the cow print background is also a digital image found courtesy of google.

<br />Just finished this "gorjuss" cross stitch this afternoon. I love anything to do with gorjuss girls and am really pleased with this. I now need to find a space on Maddie's wall for it.

<br />Well, I appear to have been on a bit of a roll today. This morning I made this noticeboard using a bit of mdf I found in the shed. I padded it with quilt wadding, attahced the fabric and ribbons, securing in place with a few buttons. I got the idea from Simply Homemade magazine. I am really pleased with it - just need to find somewhere to put it now.

<br />It has been such a long time since I completed a card for a challenge blog so I am really pleased that I managed to do this one. The challenge was to include a "funny sentiment". I did a bit of research to find a quote that would fit with one of the Tilda stamps that I own and finally found a lovely one; "Little girls, like butterflies, need no excuse." This was written by Robert A Heinlein, who I believe is actually a science fiction writer. This quote seemed to fit well with Tilda and her butterfly wings.

But Igot there in the end. I then decided to have a black and white theme for the card.

Wow! Well it has been a rather difficult 6 months with lots of changes, but things finally seem to be settling down. I have moved house and am now living with my daughter and my parents; not ideal but needs must. I have given up my job and am no longer working as a teacher, although I do hope to return to teaching sooner rather than later. As the last 6 months have involved so many changes I haven't had a great deal of time for any crafting, but now that things are settling down a bit I hope to try and do a bit more. I have loads of projects to do, so watch this space...hopefully.Emmahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15878677658347598457noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7890149700572011693.post-15153589382958952010-02-18T20:15:00.003+00:002010-02-18T20:20:08.083+00:00Card PatternsHere is my final post for tonight.
