Fetch A Sketch Challenge 60

It's time for a new Fetch A Sketch challenge and the sketch is:

Dr Digi is the fab sponsor and here is my take on the sketch.  I've used the Cuppa digi stamp (its currently a freebie on the website!) and coloured it with Promarkers.  Papers are from the A to Z mega collection  by Samantha Walker (I bought it on a One Buck Wednesday deal at Jessica Sprague some time ago and its got a lot for the buck!!)

A little bit of doodling here and there and the card is complete - simple but quirky!  Good luck with the Fetch A Sketch challenge, for more details, pop over to the challenge blog!

Funky Hand New Release - Boys Will Be Boys and BLOG HOP!

Are you ready for a new download from Funky Hand?  Following hot on the heels of the Christmas downloads earlier in the month, we now have a boys themed one - Boys Will Be Boys!

But that's not all as Anice has drawn a fab little robot called Bot!  He's available to buy for just £1.49!  Boys Will Be Boys paper pack is only £2.99 and there are loads of papers - some are shown above - plus standard single colours too for layering and matting.

Here is my card that I've made with the papers download:

I've inked the edges, added some recycled string, made the 'brads' (marker pen with a dab of glossy accents over the top!) and handwrote the sentiment.  Oh and used two cocktail sticks too!

And now for the hop!  If you've arrived at me from Lou then you're going in the right direction!  But don't worry if I'm your first stop - as long as you leave us all a comment as you hop through, including one on the Get Funky Blog and you'll be in with a chance to win a copy of the download!

Leave me a comment and then hop over to Sam!  The hop ends at Midnight 1 October GMT, so don't delay - hop today!

Up, Up and Away!

I'm sharing a card I made some time ago but forgot to blog - its a Jellypark stamp called Flying A Plane.  I've coloured it with Promarkers and added glossy accents over the windscreen and goggles!  It's attached to the card with a spring so it wobbles around!

I was struggling for ideas for the backgound until I noticed a strip of offcut from the A to Z Mega paper pack that I'd used on a different project and realised that it was perfect!  A few Sizzix die cut strips of grass which have been inked and the card is complete!

Bobbing For Apples

Here is a cute image which is part of a monthly progressive challenge From The Heart Stamps.  I've coloured it with Promarkers and then watercolour pencils for the sky and grass.

I've added some papers that I found in my stash and then some organza pink ribbon.  I've kept the image as the focal point as I didn't want it overshadowed with fussy papers!

Simply Create Too Challenge 46 - Autumn

There's a new challenge over at Simply Create Too and the theme for the fortnight is:

Fall / Autumn

I've gone for the colours and used a pre-coloured freebie image from an old Papercraft Inspirations magazine plus papers from Dovecraft Sugar and Spice 6x6 paper stack.  The sentiment came with the image and I've added some flowers from my stash along with a brad plus ribbon was a generous donation from my cousin!

Good luck with the challenge - for more inspiration, pop over to Simply Create Too!

Crimbo Crackers Challenge 51 - Embossing

It's time for a new Crimbo Crackers challenge!

The theme challenge this fortnight is:

Embossing

I'm sponsored by Funky Hand and the winner of this challenge will get to choose a download from the store! And there will be a blog hop over at Funky Hand on Monday to launch a new download! Don't forget to come back to my blog as I'll be part of the hop!

As part of the Funky Hand Design Team I get to play with all the products and in my card I've used papers from the Silent Night download - and I've used my Cuttlebug D'Vine Swirls embossing folder on the bottom half of the card.

The loopy ribbon was a freebie that I've had for some time along with the gold organza. And the star is a Christmas tree decoration that I bought a few years ago in the January sales because I knew I'd be able to use it at some point! And it's light enough too - perfect!

Good luck with the challenge!

Bath Tub Bliss

Deirdery can finally relax in the tub knowing that the lock has been mended on the bathroom door. And she is taking full opportunity of the situation by reading the local rag. And she doesn't care if it gets damp!

It would be perfect if she could reach her cup of tea and if the leaky shower head was mended....! Bath Time Dierdery is available to buy from Dr Digi! I've coloured her with Promarkers and added stickles and liquid pearls here and there. I've made her quite large and cut around her to make the card!

Jellypark Challenge - Sentiment Is The Key

New Jellypark challenge! Plus two new release stamps as well (which, with a bit of luck I will blog over the weekend but if you can't wait, head over to the store now to purchase - and only £1.25 each too!) The challenge theme for the fortnight is:

Sentiment Is The Key

So we want to see a big sentiment on your creations! And mine doesn't get much bigger than this:

I've used the Calendar Sentiment set - you get each of the months as shown for a titchy £2.25! You can either use them as a small sentiment, or go big like I have!

I've added some extra die cut stars and I honestly cannot remember what papers I've used! I've added some silver 3-d paint for a more manly effect (some blokes don't appreciate glitter!) and that's about it! Oh, and a bit of faux stitching too.

Good luck with the challenge!

Polkadoodle Challenge 38 - Candy Colours

It's time for a new Polkadoodles challenge and the theme is:

Candy Colours

I've kept it rather clean and simple this week! I've a stack of little envelopes that I need to use up as I bought them in the January sale as they were really really cheap - 4p (although they did come with little Christmas cards that were really naff - I did only buy them for the envelopes!) for 20 or 25 in a pack. So I indulged and bought rather a few.

So, this brings me to these little cuties - I made 3 cards from a sheet of A4 card and printed one of the images from the fab Bonbon Belles straight onto the card and embellished with half pearls, stickles, embroidery thread and a button. Really quick and simple to make!

Good luck with the challenge - we've dropped the 10 limit challenge rule and will be picking the winner each week by random generator!

Housework

Now don't go sympathising with Deirdery Dunderton when she tells you that its a thankless task trying to keep Dunderton Mews spick and span.  She runs the household like its a military operation - even the daffs stand to attention on the occasional side table.

But then again, housework will suck the life out of you.  So don't say she didn't warn you!

Deirdery is available to buy either coloured or uncoloured from Dr Digi and the coffee table can be bought as part of a bundle with Feet Up.

I've used a page from a paint catalogue for the background - it's either B&Q, Crown or Dulux!  I've handwritten the sentiment and handcut the speech bubble from a bit of card.  And both digi's have been coloured with Promarkers.
