FIRST OF THE DAY

Happy Friday and here I am with my first offering of the day. This one is made using an image from a new designer (well, to me anyway). I saw details of the Shop and Challenge on someone else's Blog and went to have a peep. I ended up buying half a dozen or so digi images :-D
This is " Some Bunny Loves You " by SASAYAKI GLITTER.
I have coloured him with Derwent Academy Watercolour Pencils, and have used my new border die and a freebie backing paper from DECOSSE's DYNAMITE DOODLES.

Also used: scraps of red and white card

 my brand new  Marianne Creatables LR0407  Border Die 

Promarkers for edging

Red Paper Crepe ribbon

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SCRIBBLES

Good morning Peeps,
I have popped in to say a Happy 4th Birthday to SCRIBBLES DESIGNS.

They are having a Blog Hop where you could win prizes for commenting and also giving away a piece of Freebie Cake.
I have used the Cake and  " Dog Wash " on my card and also a backing paper from DECOSSE's DYNAMITE DOODLES.
I coloured the dog with Promarkers and used some duck tape to paper piece his tin bath and added some Stickles on his bath bubbles.
With the cake, I superimposed some fruit cake on the image and added another candle to celebrate 4 years.

  

Right - I have to whizz off now as I have some other creations on the go and I gotta do it when my Mojo is flowing :-D xxx

Thanks for popping in .

FEELING CREATIVE

Hello Peeps,
Here I am with a couple of cards I did today to use images I either got for FREE or that were for Progressive Challenges..... if I don't do it now I will forget !!!

My first one uses the image from Cre8tive Hands.  This one is the Freebie this month for the Progressive Challenge on FaceBook.
I coloured the flowers with Promarkers and used backing papers from a FREE set I got this morning from Far Far Hills which is called " May Grass ".
I fussy cut around the right-hand edges of the flowers to show the paper inside the card.

My second is made using a fabulous FREE digi kit and cutting File I got from LITTLE SCRAPS OF HEAVEN yesterday.

This birdie is sooo cute. I have used the pre-coloured digi image and the backing papers for this one but I shall be putting him through my cutting machine in the future :-D

I followed a sketch for this design, and the circles were made with my beloved make up sponges dipped in inks :-D They work fine so long as to keep one for every colour cuz if you wash the sponges they go hard and crispy and not exactly round !!

I have to go scratch about in the garden now as there are things to do and it really is too nice to be inside :-D

Thank you for dropping in :-D xxxxxxxxxxxx

BRRRR... ARE YOU CHILLY ?

Hello Peeps,
I hope you are all looking forward to the weekend ?
Is it chilly where you are ? Here I am sunny today and it's a warm 18 degrees :-) The almond blossoms are all popping out so I hope we now don't get a cold spell down from the North to nip them all off !!

It's weird doing a chilly card today, but I have coloured up my monthly freebie I got at FROM THE HEART STAMPS. It is called  " Snowman & Cocoa " and he is part of the monthly progressive freebie Challenge. If you use the free image in the Challenge -  you get a new free one the following month for the next Challenge. :-D I must say he looks very cozy in his outfit and with a cup of hot cocoa. Not for me though - he can keep it as I hate that stuff !!!! 

I coloured him up with Promarkers and used a snippet of blue card to make a frame. I went all around it with the wedge end of 3 different colours of blue Promarkers and then dragged the Blender all round in lines to see what effect I got.
The snowflakes were a little giftette from a dear friend. :-D
The background was made using my Crafters' Companian "A Little Bit Nordic " 6 x 6 embossing folder and I lightly ran a blue ink pad over the top to pick out the pattern.

WORDS, WORDS, WORDS...

Hellooooo Peeps - it's nearly the Crafty Weekend !!!  (oh - for those of you unlucky souls who have to work that is !!) the rest of us are just on 'Yay - permanent crafting time'  :-D  LoL  Good job I live too far away for you to hit me !!! :-D

Anyways - I definitely don't DO Valentine's Day and all that schmaltz so I made a little creation that just about sums me up  AND it has cats..... cool eh ???? :-D

The main images are Cats rubber stamps from DE-STEMPELWINKEL which I stamped with Versamark embossing ink onto red card, and then sprinkled with Personal Impressions Black Super Sparkle Powder before heating. It looks glorious close up but of course, it doesn't photograph at all well !!

The kitties come from Plate 31 - Cats... but I bought these two as singles but I can't find them like that now in the shop.

The pretty bit in the middle is a SARNTANGLE - made with a rubber stamp which came from an exclusive set on limited edition last year.  If you didn't get yours then, don't worry because you buy them in singles as DIGIS if you go see Sarn HERE.   I coloured it with Promarkers.

The background is an embossing folder - sorry it has no name or markings on it and then I smeared it with various shades of red ink pads.

The whole thing was mounted onto a red card and then I doodled some hearts and stuff around the edges.

It's funny - when I went to put a title on my Blog, as I typed it I began singing one of the songs from one of my all time favourite films - My Fair Lady...... "Show Me"...

Words! Words! Words! I’m so sick of words! 

I get words all day through;
First from him, now from you! 
Is that all you blighters can do? 

SONGWRITERS

OH, BUT IF THAT WERE TRUE .... :-D

Hi Peeps,
I found this FREEBIE quote page on MEINLILAPARK. It's her new one from last week on her CAT BLOG. and I had to use it  because it made me laugh :-D If only this were true, I would be swanking my way down a catwalk in Fashion Week somewhere  bwaahahahahaha :-D


I used it with my new STAMPENDOUS brand new stamp - "Feline Curious".
I coloured the kitty using Prismacolour pencils and touches of Promarkers, but I smudged the bloomin' stamp whilst blending my pencils with the white spirit !!!. I had gone too far to start again, so there it is !!!
I printed the background twice and then cut out the quote and raised it on foamies. I fussy cut the kitty and put him on foamies too.

I just LUV gingers, so of course, he had to be a ginger :-D  I think he would fit as being in Autumn colours - don't you ??!

Thanks for dropping in. :-) xx

STILL USING MY FREEBIES :-D

Good morning Peeps,
Here I am with another of the FREEBIES I have been snagging recently.
This one is from IMAGINE THAT  - great digis by Kris  - and you know what I am like with Kitties. :-D 
This one is called "CATS IN SUNFLOWERS" and I coloured up to look like a couple of my (many) kitties using Promarkers.

I placed then on a snippet of parchment and added a tiny sentiment. Not much else there as I didn't want to detract for the lovely image. :-)

The Ginger/white one looks just like a kitty I am (permanently) fostering for a friend who had to return to the UK..... His name is Lucky Louis :-D

Colours I used:

Frosted Jade, Oasis, Lime Green, Soft Green, Budding Rose, Dusky Rose, Cool Grey 3 + 4, Hearthstone, Black, Morning Mist, Warm Grey 1, Daffodil Bloom, Pineapple Crush, Tulip Yellow, Canary, Sleigh Bell, April Shower, Cool Aqua, Cornflower.

CHRISTMAS IN JULY.... PART 2

Here is another Chrimbo card  - I used " Snowy Oak Tree " and " Pressie Bear" both from SPYDER.  I'm definitely having a Spyder afternoon today.
I snagged her latest FREEBIE and I'm going to colour up that one next - so it will be back to Summer LoL :-) I'm not telling you what it is.... you'll have to go and snag it for yourself :-D 

I coloured up the tree house and added Stickles for the snow bits. Then I added a sort of snowy flake border (I don't have a punch that does those !!) This was mounted onto a scrapette of snowflake card from my bits box.

The Pressie Bear was also coloured up using Promarkers, and has Stickles for snow. Then I cut him out and mounted him on the card with 3D foamies. The sticker I found in a box and I cut Happy Christmas from a piece of Chrimbo wrap paper. :-D
