CRAFTLANDIA MONTHLY CHALLENGE

 Hi Peeps - long time, no speak eh ?  I'm doing OK and my chemo numb fingers are getting much better :-D

I have played around with a journal page, using up an old diary,  to enter the latest CRAFTLANDIA MONTHLY CHALLENGE #7 where the theme is The SEA and the Sponsor is GECKO GALZ.

I have used " UNDER THE SEA " backing paper by SPYDER, " SEAHORSE " from the "SEA LIFE 12 piece Set" by me at IKEsART, a SeaShell Border by MY SCRAP CHICK, a saucy lady from GECKO GALZ - TATTOO SUMMER Craft Kit and two images from GECKO GALZ - NAUTICAL 1 & 2 decoupage pages.

I've got something else I'm working on too so I will be back again later :-D

Thank you for popping in.

xoxo

HOPPY EASTER CARD

Good morning Peeps,
I hope you are all having a fabbo crafting weekend.
I have just whipped up a little Easter card to send to my Grandsons as Easter in the UK is next weekend isn't it ? It's not until the end of April here in Greece because we go by a different calendar. :-)

I have used a cutting file called  'Easter Bunnies' from MY SCRAP CHICK.
***  Don't worry if you don't have a cutting machine because the files come with PDF sheets so you can cut them by hand. I didn't bother getting my machine rigged up with all the different coloured card this morning, so I cut the pieces by hand using colours from my Snippets box :-)

There's a massive DOLLAR SALE ( with no minimum purchase) on at the moment over at MY SCRAP CHICK, so why not whizz over and take a peek :-D

For my card I have followed SKETCH #404 from Sketch Saturday .

Thanks for dropping by. I will be back later with another JOURNAL page I am doing but just waiting for it to dry :-D xxxx

BIRTHDAY CARDS

Good morning Peeps and Happy Friday,

I am here to post my creation for the SCRIBBLES DESIGNS CHALLENGE - Birthday Bonanza.
I had a couple of cards to make and having snagged a FREEBIE slice of cake from Scribbles, I wanted to use that straight away.

I used:

'Carla Diet Queen Diva', Freebie 'Cake Slice' and 'Mr Wool Smiley' all from SCRIBBLES DESIGNS and coloured with Promarkers.

I paper pieced Carla's dress with a matching backing paper to my main paper. These are from a collection called 'Cupcakes' but I don't who the maker is as I got these from a friend.

I cut out the Cake and mounted it on foamies for extra pop, and made a sentiment tag.

My 2nd card is a GSD cut card using a cutting File from MY SCRAP CHICK called ALL ABOARD TRAIN TRIO. You get a Treat Box, a Card and a Scrapbook Layout in this set.

I cut the pieces from scraps of different coloured card on my CraftRobo and layered parts of him up with foamies for extra 3D effect. I also cut a Happy Birthday sentiment from the Silhouette Store.

Thank you for dropping in and I hope you are looking forward to the weekend. :-D

ART JOURNAL EVERY DAY CHALLENGE

Happy Saturday,
I am popping in to post my journal page for the ART JOURNAL EVERY DAY CHALLENGE  over on the SMEARED & SMUDGED FACEBOOK EVENT PAGE.

Click on image to enlarge :-)

I haven't actually put it in a Journal as yet since this is a 7" x 9" page and I don't have a journal that size..... yet !! The one I started a couple of weeks ago is a 5x7".

I have used a background paper which was a freebie from LITTLE SCRAPS OF HEAVEN and came in the Spring Penguin set. I overlaid part of that with a paper from the Zombie Killer Set by SMEARED INK called 'Cracked' and I made that paper transparent so I could use it as an overlay. Behind them is 'Cemetary Arch'. The Girl image is called Anita, and the bunnies at the back - Occasions Grumpies Bunny, Boney Bunny, Skull Bunny, are all from SMEARED INK. The 'Fluffy Bunny' decoupage character at the front is from a SVG cutting file by MY SCRAP CHICK.

I coloured bits up with Spectrum Noir pens and my new Tombow Dual Brush pens, but I wasn't keen on how they didn't blend well for her skin on this paper :-(

Well - that's it for just now... I have some other stuff coming up over the next couple of days.

Thank you for dropping by.

STUFF I HAVE BEEN MAKING

Hello Peeps,
I have been busy this end making loads of things but I forgot to Blog them, so here's a few pikkies :-)

Here's an ATC I made for the December Swap over on KRISTY'S BLOOMING JOURNEY FB Page... I forgot to take a photo before I sent them off but Kristy did it for me :-)

NOV + DEC ATC Swap at MY CRAFTS FORUM

Themes - Flags and Christmas Carol 

My ATC for the "New Moon" themes swap over at SMEARED & SMUDGED FB Group 

A card commission for a friend - Her Son IL is an online war games buff - it's one of those triple mountain card thingies. 

A card to accompany a present for a friend of mine overseas. 

I shall be entering this one over at SNIPPET's PLAYGROUND. I cut the lattice with my new die cut from Couture Creations - 'Tied Together' from their Momento Collection. The background is a small piece of rainbow card I found in my snippets box. The main image is called 'LUCE' from Vera Lane "Les Chats" Stamps. There are 4 cats in this crazy collection and I couldn't resist them :-D  I coloured it with Spectrum Noir pens, BT2, BT3, BT4, CG3, CG4, and mounted it with foam pads. The Love Tag is from a freebie set I got from MY SCRAP CHICK - Valentine Tag Printables.

Thank you for dropping in and having a look :-D
