COMMISSIONS 2

Continuing with the huge commission - these are the other cards she ordered from me :-)

This one uses a GSD cutting file from Silhouette on the front and papers from my stash.

The Baby is from the DOLLAR GRAPHICS DEPOT -  Cute Diva Babies: Girl. She was printed 4 times and then fussy cut and popped up on foamies :-)

You can get excellent pre-coloured images there which are just perfect when you are in a rush !!! :-D 

I made these using assorted dies for the flowers and leaves plus embellishments and papers from my stash. I used up the last of my shop bought small Doilies too :-(   The Antique lace came from my Brother :-)

SEND SOME PAWPRINTS

Hi Peeps,
I can only pop in for one creation today as Wednesday is one of my busy days... I have Greek lessons in the morning and by the time I come back it's nearly time to go house/cat sit, so here is my offering.
I saw a great Theme over at  LESS IS MORE, using a colour wheel. The idea is to pick 3 adjacent colours for your creation.
I used the bottom right. I chose 3 Spectrum Noir markers and used the chubby end and a ruler to draw across some card for my background. The 'thanks' part is using a Silhouette cutting file.
The kitty is my FREEBIE over at SUYP this month and I coloured him in colours directly opposite my background colours to compliment them.

SENDING PAWPRINTS is all about making Thank You Cards for Vets and Animal Shelters. Here is their Mission Statement .....

Sending Paw Prints supports our furry friends by collecting blank pet themed thank you handmade cards and donating them to animal shelters and rescue groups for them to write heartfelt thank you messages to donors, foster parents and volunteers.

SCRIBBLES DESIGNS CHALLENGE #33 - GOOD LUCK.... MIDWAY REMINDER

Hi Peeps,
Here I am with my 2nd DT piece for the Midway Reminder of our current Challenge at SCRIBBLES DESIGNS CHALLENGES #33 - GOOD LUCK.

For many, September is a time of new beginnings.   Many families have children headed back to grade school.  Others have grown children en route to college or university.  Then there are those who may be starting their first full time job or just moving into their very first apartment.  These are all great reasons for wishing someone good luck.  You may have another reason to share words of good fortune with another.  Whatever the occasion, this month we want to see projects wishing someone you know good luck.  Everyone could use wishes for a little good fortune now and then!

My card uses Papers and digis from the PUPPY POWER MINI MISH MASH COLLECTION. available from SCRIBBLES DESIGNS.
I coloured the kennel and Dog with Bone using Promarkers. I decided I wanted him to be a Spotty Dog LoL
The papers are layered up and I drew some faux stitching.
The Good Luck was cut using a Silhouette cut-out. The New Home bone was drawn by hand and stamped with my mini Studio G alphabet stamps.

So - you have until 15th October 2015 to play along with us, but I will be back again with a new creation to show you at the Midway Reminder posting :-D

Thanks for stopping in and I hope you will come along and play with us. There are plenty of FREEBIES from Sandy to use, if you browse through SCRIBBLES DESIGNS.

MY FIRST PIECE ON SCRIBBLES DESIGN TEAM :-)

Hi Peeps,

Here I am with my first creation for SCRIBBLES DESIGN TEAM... YaY !!!

Our Challenge #33 this month has the theme of "GOOD LUCK".
For many, September is a time of new beginnings.   Many families have children headed back to grade school.  Others have grown children en route to college or university.  Then there are those who may be starting their first full time job or just moving into their very first apartment.  These are all great reasons for wishing someone good luck.  You may have another reason to share words of good fortune with another.  Whatever the occasion, this month we want to see projects wishing someone you know good luck.  Everyone could use wishes for a little good fortune now and then!

My card is made using MR WOOL 3 and ZIPPER QUOTE, both from SCRIBBLES DESIGNS. 
I think if anyone is going for an interview then that piece of advice is very important, n'est-ce pas ???!!!

For my background - I cut a Good Luck stencil using a Silhouette svg file and then used two different colours of green Cats Eye inks to daub through the stencil.
I  printed Mr Wool  4 times  and coloured him with Promarkers and . Then I fussy cut him and added foamies to make him 3D. 

 I put the Zipper sentiment on the Inside :-)

So - you have until 15th October to play along with us, but I will be back again with a new creation to show you at the Midway Reminder posting :-D

FROM THE HEART

Here I am with my piece for the Stamp of the Month Challenge at FROM THE HEART STAMPS.
This month we got "Pumpkin Patch" and I have coloured her up with Spectrum Noir markers. I had awful trouble colouring the face on this one - I don't know why. Maybe it's because the little mouth and nose are very small and I couldn't work out where my cheeks should go !!! LoL

I used a SILHOUETTE Svg pattern to cut a Shutter card and all the papers are FREEBIES  from MEINLILAPARK. Then edged everything with green and black Archival ink.

I think she looks jolly cute and can't wait to see what we get for next month :-)

I used:

Spectrum Noir Markers; OR1, OR2, OR3, EB4, EB6, FS5, FS7, FS9, LG3, LG5, DG3, CR5

Papers by Meinlilapark - Pumpkin Pattern Paper, Spider 6 Paper 24, Funny Spider Graphic

A LITTLE CREEPY CUTIE :-)

Me again,
Now, I must admit that sometimes I am struck by some cutie creepy images.... not very often  cuz I like the gory creepy as you well know - but I rather fancied this lil' lady by JULIA SPIRI... a new digis artist I have been seeing quite a bit about recently.
I treated myself and got " GOTHIC WITCH " :-)

I coloured her up with Spectrum Noir pens and added white highlights and her pearls with a Nail Art white pen.

I used my STAMPIN' UP 'Spider Web' embossing folder with a bit of black ink smurged over it to make her a background, and my 'ARCH' from IKEsART, which has been done with black faux marble. To finish I used a (new) Silhouette cutting file to make a little spider web swirly corner. 

Right - I am off to enter her now in JULIA's fist Challenge on her Blog which is HERE. :-)

Thank you for popping in :-D xxx

HAVING A PLAY DAY

Hello Peeps,
well - it's a bit wet and windy today so I am staying indoors and having a play day in my studio :-D
Here's a little St Patrick's card I made using a Freebie I got from DEARIE DOLLS.... St Patty's Day Doggie. I coloured him with Spectrum Noir pens to look a bit like my little houndoe (who happens to be asleep in his basket beside me). After colouring I cut him out and raised him on foamies.
The background paper is from Doodle Pantry - St Paddy Digi Papers and the cut outs/swirls are ones I bought this morning from SILHOUETTE.
The lace is scraps from my stash.
I stamped Lucky on the little shamrock banner with my baby letter stamps (from China).

Thank you for stopping by :-) xx

SCOTTIE BIRTHDAY

Hello Peeps and Happy Sunday,
I am here with a card for a Scottish friend on mine and I always try to find something appropriate to him. This time, I used some information about his name as my background and I found a fabulous little Scottie Dog cutting file - 
SCOTTIE GIFT BAG by MEGAN HARDY available at the Silhouette Store.

I only used one part of the collection - the Dog bit -  and made him a bit bigger, then cut him with my Craft Robo.
I cut one in black and one in white and stuck them on top of each other but slightly off-set. Don't ask me why... I just did !!! 
I made his little coat with some clan tartan, which I hope is the right one for my friend !!
I finished with a sprinkling of hearts which were left over from a previous cutting session :-)

Thanks for stopping by..... I'm off to play with some stamping now :-)

BAPTISM COMMISSIONS

Good Morning Peeps,
I had a bit of a creative flurry at the weekend and have a couple of bits to show you.
The first is a pair of Baptism cards that I was asked to do for a Greek friend.
I took my inspiration from a beautiful card I saw made by Karen Dillon although she doesn't seem to have posted since March 2011 :-(

I used an assortment of embossing folders and dies for the backgrounds and the ornate cross is a cutting file I purchased in the SILHOUETTE Store.  It is designed by SAMATHA WALKER and you can buy it HERE.

The ribbon and charms were from my stash.

Cuttlebug 'Polka Dots' embossing folder

Papermania 'Silent Night' embossing folder

Sizzix Frame die

Thanks for dropping by and I will be back with some more schtuff later :-D xx
