NO PLACE LIKE GNOME

Hi Everyone,
Doing some more colouring today hiding from the Easter dynamite !!

Here is a card I have made for the April Progressive Challenge with GERDA STEINER.
The image this month is "GNOME COUPLE". I have coloured them with Spectrum Noir markers and then fussy cut them. The background is by SPYDER and is called ' One Little Toadstool' (unfortunately no longer trading). I printed it out faded so as not to outdo my gnomes. The background papers are from a free kit by MIGGINS Does Scrapville  called "Egg-Stravaganza".

 

I made a label in Photodraw.

Thank you for popping in to see me today :-D

CAT ON A SHELF

Hello All and happy Sunday,
Here I am with my entry for the Progressive Challenge for March with Gerda Steiner.
The image this month is CAT ON A BOOKSHELF.

I have made a window scene  using a garden photo at the back, overlaid with a die cut to look like a fancy window. The curtains, fancy pelmet and wallpaper are made using papers from the IMAGINE THAT Valentine Fundraiser set.
I coloured the kitty and bookshelf using Spectrum Noir markers and raised him with foamies.

CUTE SCHTUFF

Hello Sunday Peeps,

I am doing some more cute schtuff today , building up some card reserves - I know my friend will want some to buy for March :-D

These papers are from Dovecraft and the set is called Couture du Jour.  48 sheets of 8" x 8" with dresses and stuff on them and they have some gorgeous plain papers in there too. I used some of the patterned ones the other day on the bunny card I made HERE.

I used the plainer ones with a Marianne Design CreaTable die...LR0454. The base card is white with a deeper pink back base.
The image is " Spring Bunny Friends " by GERDA STEINER, which is the February image for her  Progressive Challenge.
I coloured them with Spectrum Noir markers and cut them out leaving a teeny white border. They are attached with 3D foamies for a bit of pop. The butterfly is also in that same die set. Then I fussy cut some of the flowers from the same paper set (from the snippets that were left from my card the other day).

Thanks for popping in. 

Have a great day xxxx

A LITTLE BIT OF GREEK WORD PLAY

Hi again Peeps,
I am here with my entry for the GERDA STEINER January Progressive Challenge.
I bought this cute little Panda to play along with. If you play this month, then you get an image to play along next month for FREE.  This one is called " Panda In Love ".

Anyways... my word play is that in GREEK the word pronounced Panda ...... spelt  πάντα means always, forever, so I made my little sentiment card to read  " Σ'αγαπω  Panda "  ( I love you always/forever) because he is a Panda  LoL.

I coloured him with Spectrum Noir markers and cut him out using a stitched rectangle die.

The background papers are from the Freebie kit ' Your Heart is My Target' by LITTLE SCRAPS OF HEAVEN.

So there we are :-)

Thanks for popping in.

A BIT WILD AND WOOLLY

Hello Peeps,
Well - after saying that Spring had arrived last week, it has definitely changed up a bit since last night. ! We had a big thunderstorm and loads of rain and the wind today is definitely wild and woolly. My Dog took one look outside and refused to budge and all the cats are cozying around the house :-)

I am hiding downstairs in my room and making some cards for Challenges I spotted recently.
I snagged a couple of gorgeous download Freebies from FAR FAR HILLS, so I have been using those too :-)

My first card is using the latest image from GERDA STEINER for the Progressive Challenge. It is called  " Bee Strong ".
I coloured him up with Promarkers and then copied the image several times to make a matching backing paper :-) His wings were done with Angel Fibers but it doesn't show up well on photos. Looks really cool close up though :-D
I used my new Basic Shapes Stitched Cutting Frames from Marianne Designs to cut him out.

Naughty or Nice Challenge #37 - Feature a Creature

My second piece uses a real cute elephant from SASAYAKI GLITTER called " Birthday Elly ", and the new Freebie set from FAR FAR HILLS which is called " St Patrick's Day ".

I used all 10 of the designs and punched out quilt shaped pieces and stuck them to card. Then I hand drew some crazy stitching round it. The Elephant was 'paper pieced' with one of the designs and I then shaded and highlighted him using Promarkers.  I changed the flame on his candle for a Shamrock leaf.

The flowers are from my new Multi Flower Die set from MARIANNE DESIGNS.

GETTING SMOOCHY !!

Good morning Peeps and happy crafting Saturday :-D
Now - I definitely don't DO Valentine's Day and all that smaltz but I have joined in the Freebie Challenge over at GERDA STEINER DESIGNS. If you use the image for the month you get a free one to use next month, so I popped over and bought it. So darn cuuuuuute  :-)
This one is called " Hedgehog Smooches " and I have coloured it up using Spectrum Noir markers. I used a Silhouette cut out heart and plain white paper edged with hand drawn cross stitch. I left it pretty simple as I wanted the Hedgepigs to be the focal point :-)

So there we have it :-) Don't expect to see a lot of this slushy stuff from me - Bleh !!   hahahaha

See ya' later xxxx

HOPPY EASTER

Good morning Peeps and HOPPY EASTER,

You are all a month ahead of us here in Greece, as we don't have Easter until the end of April.
I hope you are all having a Hot Cross Bun this morning ??? Have a couple for me coz I love them but can't get them here. I like the really squishy ones - untoasted - and lots of butter please :-D

Anyhow - I digress,  here I am with my creation for the Monthly Progressive Challenge with GERDA STEINER and this month I got ' Carrot Bunny '.
I have made a Journal Page of him with a freebie image I got from Gerda yesterday too......................

I paper pieced the eggs using a gorgeous, Gorgeous free paper set I snagged yesterday from LianaScrap, which is called ' SUNNY MORNING '. I just love yellow, so this one was a must, but she has some wonderful designs over there, so well worth a browse :-D

The bunnies were coloured with Spectrum Noir pens and then cut out and stuck to corrugated paper. Then I added some sentiments and a title :-D

Thank you for stopping by and I hope you don't give yourselves a CHOK-LITT belly ache this weekend !!!!

FITNESS ANYONE ???!!

Good morning Peeps,

Well - there are ' Watchers '  and ' DO-ers ' in anything in life , right ?!! 
I had a bit of fun with the image to be used in GERDA STEINER's Progressive Challenge for February.
I went over to the Shop and bought him and a couple of others, so that I can join this Challenge. I think next month I will get an image to play with for Free.
This little image is called  " Jump Rope Bunny ", and it's the image for February.

I printed out the jumping bunny several times, and I also bought from the Shop  " Nerdy But Nice Bunny" and he is the Fitness Instructor, and sneeking a peek around the corner is another that I bought today.. " Peeking Panda " cuz he's obviously the Watcher not a DO-er hahaha  :-D

I used Spectrum Noir pens and a lead pencil to colour my creation.

I hope you got a giggle at my creation. :-D
