SOME MORE ATCs

Good morning All,
Here are some more ATCs that I have made to send to Janis over at HER PEACEFUL GARDEN for her 60th Birthday celebration.

The first one is for her TEA ATC Challenge.
I have used a little image recycled from the front of an old birthday card.
The backing paper is a FREEBIE I got today from FAR FAR HILLS - Spring Love Papers.
I stamped the little cup image and cut off just one of them. I coloured it with Copics and then coated it with Diamond Glaze to make it shiny.

This one uses the same stamp - also coloured with Copics and this time I used embossing glaze on it. The sentiment tag was made using the text from this sweet little set.

                            

I'm off to make some for her Chicken ATC Challenge now :-D

See you later xx

BEE-UTIFUL :-)

Me again today Peeps,
Continuing my quest to use all 'snagged' freebies, I have put together two recent ones on this little card.  I smiled all the way through making this  - it makes me happy :-) The new papers really make me think of Spring.

I have used the latest Friday Freebie from PATTIE's CREATIONS called " Cute Bee " and a previous image I had from Pattie called  " Sunflower Vase ". I coloured them with Spectrum Noir pens and did 2 images of the sunflowers and fussy cut them. Then I popped them up on foamies to make 3D portions. The Bee also has KindyGlitz on his wings.

The vase image was cut out using a stitched rectangle - part of a set I bought from FIKI's shop - The Crafty Kitty Cat Shop -  and the background is a brand new set of Free digi papers I got this morning from FAR FAR HILLS called ' Watercolours '.

I think the Dies are Stitched Rectangles by Memory Box.

  

Thanks for popping by. It's nearly kitty feeding time here so I am buzzing off now :-)

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.

AND SOME MORE CHRIMBO CARDS :-)

Well Peeps,
I am still toiling away at cards and have got a huge rush on to get the ones posted !! At least going from here TO the UK is so much quicker than coming !! 
Here is a special one for a good friend who loves Guinea Pigs. The image is from MISS RACH.

He was coloured with Spectrum Noir pens and the background papers are from the 'Bright Christmas ' pack from FAR FAR HILLS. I added some Kindyglitz to his hat and a little snowflake embellie.

My second one is a commission card - the lady lives in Brighton and has 2 Yorkies, so it always has something to do with those things :-D

I used my cutting machine to cut out the window, the tree and the lights. I coloured things using Spectrum Noir pens and then added glitz and sparkles to the tree. The lights were finished with diamond glaze.

I am still finding extra things to do and now I feel I am coming down with something yukky - sweats, headache and muzzy head !!!!  :-(

Thanks for dropping in. :-)

HAPPY MONDAY FUN

Hello Monday Peeps,

Here I am finishing off uploading my creations... I ran out of energy yesterday !! LoL

Here is one I have made for the latest QUIRKY CRAFT's Challenge - What's in The Quirky Cupboard ?

I have used two of my images...'Old Hag' and 'Doxie' on the front and the cupboard is a free download from WPClipart. 

Here's what you get when you open the cupboard.

I cut out the door and then printed some matching green for the inside. Then I remounted the door on paper hinges.

Inside is 'HAMILTON' from Creative Bug on The Loose, and I got him as a Freebie to use in the New Beginnings Challenge Celebrations. You can snag him or one of the other digis on offer, to enter too if you go check out the new Challenge site.

The background paper is a digital scrapbook paper I just got from a Set by Far Far Hills called 'SPRING MORNING'

OK - I'm off again for now :-) Thanks for visiting.
