Good Morning Guys, 

Have you heard the news?

Bee Crafty have just launched a new range!

How great are these? I am sure you will be just as excited about them, as all of us at Bee Crafty are!

Clare introduced you to Vera yesterday, so today I am going to introduce you to Shirley. 

The card blank is an 8X8 Card matted with cream, yellow and pink card, finished with a flowery backing paper.  The swirls are made with funky foam, wrapped around a pencil and I used my heat gun to heat it up, once it had a good few seconds all around, I removed it and tripped it down to fit the card.

Shirley was coloured in with Promarker Pens and Graph It Marker Pens, I added glossy accents to her glasses to give it a bit of texture.

 The sentiment is from the wordage and I think this goes really well with it.

 The items I used:

 Card Stock

Wordage Stamp

Shirley

Fabric Flowers

Foam Swirls 

Alcohol Marker Pens

Corner Die

 So what do you think? 

They are so sweet and I can not wait to see what you create with them.

I am entering this into the following challenges:

Brown Sugar Crafts - #95 Anything Goes - 30/05
Craftitude - #65 Thats Die-licious - 30/05
Jelly Park Challenge - Bold and Bright - 01/06

Good Morning Everyone, 

How are we all? 

I have been super busy at the moment decorating (well buying all the bits and doing a lot of shopping not so much of the decorating) me and my hubby always like to take on a lot, and we decided it would be fun to redecorate our whole house from top to bottom - I think the only room that isn't getting touched is the kitchen and even that might get a fresh lick of paint over it. All this as well as my DT commitments, family commitments, college commitments and my hubby doing over 50 hours in over time whilst he is on call, along side is normal 40 hour week. - You can say things have become a bit manic in my household. 

Anyway enough about that! 

Today is the start of a new challenge over at Fab n Funky and this week it is the Fab Team, and Pat has picked a really great theme of 

"PRETTY HAIR"

Our challenge has been sponsored by the talented Lacy Sunshine stamps, and the design team were lucky enough to be able to pick an image each. 

I started by picking my design "Fressia Flower Pot Pretties"

As this was a digital image I took it into my Cameo software and then downloaded a fantastic design from Birds Cards I decided on "Swirly Frame 7"

I resized this to fit the image, printed the image and then cut the design out. 

I coloured the image in using Promarker pens and Graph it pens (but I forgot to write down which ones - sorry)

I inked the background with a "teal" momento back- though when you spray it with water it goes a lovely blue colour

I added a ribbon, some gems, some glitter to my hair, and liquid pearls around the image, to finish it I added a sentiment that I stamped and embossed using Silver embossing powder, I cut this out with a nestability, and that was that done. 

The Card -

The challenges I am going to enter this into are:

Paper Make Up Stamps - Digi Makeover - Anything Goes #139- 12/05

That is it for me for today, 

Thanks for stopping in.

Good Morning 

How are we all today, 

It has been a week of celebrations in our family, my grandad and I celebrate our birthdays one after the other, his was Tuesday and mine was Wednesday.

I always find it hard to make Male cards, but I do find them a little easier with the help of the Lili of the Valley Stamps. 

I stamped this image and coloured him in using my promarker pens. 

The card is a standard A4 card blank folded in half to create an A5 Card. 

I used different papers and mat and layered these. 

To finish the card I added a sentiment that I stamped, a handmade little flag, and card candi. 

Good Morning Everyone,

Today is the start of another challenge over at:

ScrapbookerPhD

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The card is a 8x8 card blank matted with a very dark navy blue card, white card and blue snowflake backing paper, the next layer is again the dark navy blue card that has been embossed, the image is from Lili of the Valley, and has been coloured with promarker pens, and highlighted with stickles glitter glue and white liquid pearls, this has then been matted onto the dark navy blue card and then again on the white card. The snowflakes have were cut using the "joys of the season" cricut cartridge and have been cut in different sizes, the tree is from the same cartridge and has been covered in Frantage. To finish the card I added white liquid pearls to the center of the joining circles, gems to the center of the snowflakes and six white pieces of card candi has been added.

Good Morning Everyone, 

Well isn't it beautiful today, we have lovely clear blue skies, and the sun is certainly shining down on us.

The card I made is for my husbands aunt for her birthday at the end of Feb. 

I decided to use my grand Spellbinders Label 1 - I didn't use the largest size this time around, so I think it is sizes 4,3, and 2. the last being the smallest.

I used some Crafters Companion Pearl Card in a yellow, that in certain lights gives a slight green look to it as well. The white card is from The Papermill.

The image is from Lili of the Valley.  I left the bunny white, coloured his little inner ears and nose and left him as he was, I used my promarkers to colour the flowers, leaves and water in the jug.

I used some polka dot sheer ribbon for the accent across the middles, I stamped my sentiment on the Crafters Companion card and cut it out using a spellbinder dies.

I finished the card with six pieces of card candi.

The challenges I am going to enter this into are:-

613 Avenue Craft - Anything Goes - 16/03

Good Afternoon Everyone, 

Can you believe that it is February already?

Today is the start of the challenges back over at Eclectic Ellapu and today's challenge is 

TEXTURE

Today's card is a card I made for my lovely mum who celebrated her birthday on Tuesday. 

I decided to do an 8x8 card and go with a blue theme for the colour scheme. 

I matted and layered my 8x8 with different backing papers, card stock and embossed the top layer with a butterfly embossing folder I used one of the new crafters companion a4 embossing folder "Butterflies"

The image I have used is from the new launch over at Lili of the Valley and it is James - Butterflies. 

I love James he is such a cutie, and looks like a bear I got of my grandparents when I was a child, he was yellow in colour so I decided to call him "Yellow" I still have him safely packaged away so he doesn't get damaged I am thinking he is about 22 years old. 

I used nestablilties for the frame around him. 

Here is the card

 Close up of the topper

Close up of James 

James - 3190, 3170, 3130, 3110

Butterflies, 7260, 7250, 7240

Promarker 

Flowers - Soft Pink, Rose Pink, Pastel  Pink

Grass - Emerald, Lush Green, Forest Green, Grass

Flex marker - Edge James - Soft Aqua.

I then used my chalks to chalk more grass and sky around him, but was looking for a more softer feel then alcohol markers

To finish the card I added Ribbon, a sentiment  and card candi.

The challenges I would like to enter this into are:

Cards Galore Encore Challenge Blog - # 2 Add Gem, Glitter or Candi - 1/03

Good Morning Everyone, 

Today I am showing you a card I have made for the Through The Craft Room Door Challenge. I have been lucky enough to be selected to be a Guest Design Team Member for this weeks Challenge. 

This week's challenge is sponsored by Rick St Dennis and I was giving Joanie The Flower Child Digi Stamp to use for my card.

I must admit I groaned when it come through I really didn't know what I was going to be doing with her, so I just went and had a play. 

Picked my papers and then coloured her in using the colours to match the papers. 

I have used Grand Nestabilities Label 23 for the card design and a oval xcut medium size to cut around the image, I cut the butterfly from my cricut machine, and used the same colours that I used for my top for the butterfly, this gave the butterfly lovely texture. I used a Cuttlebug Embossing Folder on the top layer called Bloom Dots.

I hope you like and I do hope you will pop over to Through The Craft Room Door Challenge and join us for this weeks challenge - Always Anything Goes.
