Christening...

Good Evening! 

Not often do I play along with other blog challenges but beens as I'm ahead of myself with orders, I  thought I'd combine a few challenges to make this super cute christening card.

the image is from Di's Digi's and I LOVE it! It's so super cute. I've coloured the bears in with spectrum noirs. I've printed the greeting off the pc and cut the image out as to make it a bit more dimensional. I've added the gems for extra details. Of course I had to use twine, but no button for a change. I've also used a hint of pink too. 

I'm entering this card into the following challenges: 

1 - Crafty Creations - White plus One 

2 - Freshly Made Sketches #175

3 - In The Pink - Cute

My Time To Craft DT - All New Things

Happy New Year To You All! 

I hope you all had a lovely christmas and celebrated in the New Year. 

We have a brand new challenge on over at MTTC this week, the theme is 

"All Things New" 

this could be new stash, new house, new baby...

I went with New Home and used a Pink Petticoat image

Kept the design pretty simple and white with a hint of colour, red! Sorry the picture is so dark. Was having a bit of trouble photographing it. The background is embossed using a chevron embossing folder. The image has been coloured using promarkers. No buttons or twine either! Shocking! 

Have fun with the challenge..

My Time To Craft DT - Charmed

Morning! 

A whole weekend off from work this weekend... eeeek! 

That only calls for one thing, lots of crafting! YAY! 

We have a new challenge over at MTTC this week, which is 

"Charmed" 

So use a charm on your card. I must admit, I struggle with these as I never know how to use a charm (as funny as it sounds) 

I wanted to keep the card quite clean and not knowing what the colour scheme was, I wanted to keep it neutral so went with all white. You can't really go wrong with all white can you. No buttons from me on this card but I did sneak the twine in. The flowers in the top right corner are die cuts along with the swirls. The image is from Tiddly Inks. The white cardstock is backed onto silver shimmer card too.

Have fun using your charms! 

My Time To Craft DT - Music or Movie Influenced

Morning Peeps! 

Back to normal after all the festivites. I must admit, ours was nice and chilled out. No running around and stressing out. So with that, it's back into blogland with a new challenge over at My Time To Craft.

This weeks theme is 

"Music or Movie Influenced" 

I've had this digi from Kenny K for ages and never made a card using her, until now! 

Full Card

Got to love a bit of Marilyn Monroe and I think it fits this perfectly. She has been coloured with Spectrum Noirs. I was going to put her on a filmset background but opted for the white with a splash of red, true Marilyn style. The sentiment reads " Dreaming about being an actress is more exciting than being one" I wonder how many can relate to that? Added a few pearls n flowers to finish off the card.

Here's a few more pictures:

Think I'm going to brave the elements and walk up to the craft shop. 

My Time To Craft DT - White on White Christmas Card

Hello everyone! Hope You are all well.

Time for another challenge over at My Time To Craft. This week the theme is...

"White on White Christmas Card"

This means that the card is all white apart from the image. 

For my card, I've used dies to cut out a winter scene. I also embossed the card around the scene in a snowflake embossing folder. And of course, no christmas card is complete without a snowflake! 

Here's my card:

Full Card

I have used a glitter pen on the winter scene to show the sparkling snow and I added some "stars" to the blue so it looks more like a starry night. The sentiment is printed from the pc. A few white pearls have been added to finish off the card. I think my Mom has pinched it to give to her friend this christmas! 

Winter Scene

Greeting and Snowflake

Please come by the blog and play along....

White on White with a splash of Green...

Good Evening everyone.. 

It's gone very cold here all of a sudden and awfully foggy too. A good time to keep warm by crafting! Although, you can't currently see my desk! Ooops...

Anyhows, onto the post. 

Today I've made a couple of cards using White on White with a Splash of Green.. I've done an A5 version and a 5x7" version. Will pop a pic in the post of both. So I'm going to enter the Love to Create challenge which is... yep.. you guessed it... White on White with a Splash of Green. 

Without any further ramblings, here is my card...

Full Card

 Usually, I emboss the top layer with a snowflake embossing folder, but I thought I'd leave it blank. I'm undecided whether I perfer it embossed or not. The winter scene is a die cut which has been layered up with a cvouple of punched snowflakes. Added a few pearls and bit of ribbon and done. It's a pretty quick card to make but effective. 

Here's a closer pic of the winter scene,

Winter Scene & Greeting

Now here's the 5x7 version. I only used one layer of the winter scene on this one as I didn't want to cover up the backing paper. 

5x7 Version

Still have two christmas cards left to do with no idea what to put on them! 

Red Poppies and/or Flowers

I used the and/or of Red Flowers.  

I do have poppies but the image I wanted is for Mommyo's Birthday card and I had already coloured these in for the card. The challenge I'm entering this into is Creative Inspirations.

Full Card

Clean and Simple for this as I wanted the image to be quite predominant. I have embossed the background using two different folders. The image is a digi stamp by Just Inklined.

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! 

Winners don't quit!

So, the first card is this...

I must say tho, I do love White on White cards. I seem to be doing a lot of them lately! 

Funnily enough, I actually won the digi image in another challenge blog so the sentiment fits perfectly ;) I was going to colour her in grey but thought her hair would look too funny.. I'm happy with the pink tho.

The challenges I'm entering into are as follows:

1. Charisma Cardz - Diva's!

2. Allsorts - Here come the girls

3. Sketch Saturday - Sketch #261

4. Kenny K's Krafty Krew - White on White

Now for a few more pics:

Off to make a few cards for orders. 

Anyone for Anya? - Photo Challenge

This week's challenge at Anyone for Anya? is a photo challenge...

Now, you'd think "all those colours, which one do I use as the main colour?" 

Well, I've done my card mainly white (the background of the pic) and used the colours on the image and around the image.

I think I've got my camera set up to "poster" but the stars are more bright than in the picture.

That's me done. 

Embossing!

Lazy Day Kaylee here today on a clean n crisp card. 

The challenge I am entering my card into is the My Time To Craft challenge of "Embossing". 

I have used embossing folders rather than use heat embossing. I decided on a clean and crisp card with a hint of colour. Luckily, I had enough purple ribbon! 

Here is Kaylee...

Full Card

I have used 2 different folders and added pearls for a bit more detail too.

Anyone For Anya - photo inspiration...

Good Morning! 

It's actually sunny here for once! I will need my shades on! 

I was up and raring to go this morning. The image, I cut out and layered up last night and I already had an idea how I wanted to do the card. It was just a case of making it. 

The Anyone For Anya challenge is a photo inspiration plus a DT call. I'm entering in to both... EEEEEKKKKK!!!! 

Onto my card.

 I opted to use yellow & white with a hint of blue. The image I have used is "Cupcake Anya"

 That's not the greatest picture... A few close ups to follow and another pic of the card.
