Jellypark Challenge - Geeks and Nerds!

With a bit of luck this will be the last post of today!  And its for the new Jellypark challenge which launched today and the theme is:

Geeks and Nerds!

Such a fab theme!  I've used the fab Superboy digi from the store (only £1.25!) and coloured him with Promarkers and added foam pads to his reverse so he stands proud a little.

The backing paper is actually wallpaper that I snaffled a sample from B&Q some time ago.  Jacob enjoys trips to B&Q with me as we always have a look through the wallpaper samples to see if there is anything I can use!  And the best bit - it is free!

I've stamped the sentiment myself with my little Studio G alphabet stamps and I'm rather pleased with how it turned out as usually my letters are spaced too far apart but this time it worked fine!

Good luck with the Jellypark challenge!  The two new releases are available in the store to buy for only £1.25 each and with a bit of luck (read that as if I get some time and remember - bad combination!) I'll be blogging them over the weekend!  However, Samuel has another karting race on Sunday so I can strike off that day to get anything done other than get wet (it usually rains!)

365 Day Cards:  Day 136 - Words of Wisdom

A Spot of Washing Up

All is well.  Dave is rather proud of his brand new shiny and squeaky clean kitchen.  It is not quite to his taste, however Dave does not look a gift horse in the mouth especially when it is a free kitchen.  He has been enjoying a lucky streak on the bingo down at the Legion on a Friday night and this is one of his winnings.
 

Flip Flop Fred who calls the numbers (down at the Legion on a Friday bingo night) said he knows a mate who knows this bloke's uncle's sister's boyfriend who works at B&Q.  And he got it cheap. So that was the prize a week last Friday.

And Dave is happy he can wash his dishes until they sparkle and shine when ever he likes.  All is well.

To purchase your very own Dishcloth Dave head on over to Dr Digi's House of Stamps.  Dishcloth Dave is unfortunately not free (like the kitchen) but for a nominal fee of £1 he can be your Dishcloth Diva.

Dishcloth Dave has been coloured with Promarkers plus a bit of stickle sparkle and liquid pearls.  The kitchen is right out of a B&Q catalogue (Jacob and I spent a lovely 10 mins or so checking out all the kitchen displays in B&Q some time ago so it wouldn't look suspicious taking some brochures.....!) and I found the retro poster by doing a google search.

I'd like to enter the following challenges:

Lacy Sunshine:  Anything Goes
My Time To Craft:  Old Newspaper, Magazine or Book (old B&Q catalogue!)

Dude Time Doodles Challenge 14 - Colour Inspiration

Welcome to the third Wednesday in the month and to the Dude Time Doodles photo inspiration challenge!

Don't forget to follow the inspiration board below - colours or theme or however it inspires you - and to make your card for a dude! We also want to see some humour but keep it clean!!

I've gone for Hero Henry (has to be one of my favourite designs!) who has been coloured with Promarkers and I've added a little sparkle to his wide smile! The backing paper was an inspired glance towards the wallpaper department whilst mooching around B&Q over one of the recent Bank Holidays. As you can take samples, I did just that and came away with enough to replicate this card 7 more times!


Henry has been added with foam pads so he stands a little proud of his background. And the sentiment is from Raindrop Echo Designs - I've glittered the edges and layered it onto some shiny red card from my stash. Added black card candy to the corners, inked the edges and the card is complete!

Good luck with the challenge! For more details visit the challenge blog!
