F is for... Final Southern Girls Post

Hello!

Hope you have had a great weekend, I've been busy sanding my garden furniture (See how much I live the high life!) as it was getting a bit tatty, but is still sound and not ready to be replaced.  I'm quite pleased with it so far, just got to get some new canvas and make some new seat things and it's done... probably just in time for the sun to disappear :-D

Anyway, in between doing all that , I have been making a few cards, and this is a bit of a sad one as it is my final card for Southern Girls Challenge  :-(.  I've been on the SG team for a while now, but the time was right to step aside and make way for some new team members.  I'm really going to miss all the team, as they have been a great group to work with, and it was a really tough decision to make.

Anyway, the challenge is F is for...

I used Inky Impressions 'Clothespin Fairy',  and I did F is for - Fairy, Fussy Cutting, Fabric, Flowers, Flying Things... and Final

I used papers from the Simple Stories "Summer Fresh"  6x6 pad, and got chopping!

Punches and Dies @ Southern Girls

Hello!

It's been a funny day today... I've had my hair done after work, cut and coloured properly and looking lush (and me, relaxed....) then get back to the car to find a parking warden has given me a ticket... but slapped it OVER the parking ticket from the machine, which was in time, and with my registration number clearly marked on it.  Not sure quite what his/her thought process was whilst adhering the ticket, but suspect it might have been... "ooooh... whoops... oh what the heck!"  I'm going to appeal, but secretly thinking, please refuse so I can force it to go to court, and get the CCTV footage produced as evidence of me quite clearly parking my car, getting out, paying for my ticket, putting it on the window, locking my car then walking away, and an hour later the traffic warden slapping a ticket over the top of it :-D  My mind is clearly in the slighly warped setting today :-D

Anyhoooo.... today's card

This fortnights Southern Girls Challenge is Punches and Dies.... ahhh... very much my sort of thing!   I've used Wishing Well Fairy from Inky Impressions, who are this fortnights sponsors along with Marianne Design

I've used a heap of dies on here - La La Land Craft's Heart Banner, Memory Box Lavish Branch and Magnolia Vintage Tag.  More MME papers (one of these days I'm NOT going to use MME and you'll all fall over in shock!)  Berrisfords ribbon and some lace, pins and some dew drop thingy's I picked up at the weekend.

I was going to heat emboss the tag, but my heat gun is still AWOL (still suspect it has been relocated to the garage when HB was heat shrinking the wiring on the mini, it may never be seen again...), so I decided to use some guilding flakes instead.

I coloured her with my copics and added Glamour Dust to her wings and shoes

I think that's it from me today, thanks for stopping by!

Going Dotty @ Southern Girls

Hello!

Can you believe it, three cards in a week!  Can I make it four?  You'll have to keep checking to see :-D

This fortnights challenge at Southern Girls is 

Going Dotty

I went all simple for a change for my card, and I really struggle not to throw the kitchen sink at it!  I used an old sketch that I found lurking in a file on my PC as a starting point.  If I'm totally honest, I'm itching to add some more bits and bobs, but as they say less is more...

I used one of this fortnights sponsors images this one is called Lollyrot.

I really like the combination of all the dots from the paper and embossing powder with the curvy die cut and the stripes of the cardstock and ribbon.

I wanna be a Southern Girl's Kid...

Hello!

Still mega busy here, all sorts of things going on, but I'll save that for another day :-D  Anyway, it's time for a new challenge over at Southern Girls, and this fortnight the challenge is a project for or about Children

Perfect timing, as it was my niece's 2nd birthday today... she's such a cutie, and has my two boys wrapped round her little finger

I was doing well making this card, and had every intention of adding a bit of glossy accents and sparkle here and there, but then HB decided that we were going round their house yesterday, rather than today and the glues and sparkle wouldn't have dried, so I had to assemble it as it was, and take some photo's quick... that'll teach me to be a last minute Annie!!

I used the adorable Billy is Two from LCI - this image is suitable for a boy or a girl, just change your colour scheme!  Or if you want more girly then there is an option of flowers instead of buttons.   I popped some actual buttons on the card to make up for the lack of glitter!  Luckily I had already stitched all of my panels together with a pale pink machine embroidery thread, before HB started hurrying me along!

The paper is some MME that has been in my stash like forever, and the ribbon is also from LCI, I love my little Making Memories ribbon punch set, it makes a change to running the ribbon behind the image :-D

Southern Girls - Banners and Pendants

Hello!

How are you?  Illness continues here, I've had flu that has turned into a bad chest infection.  After doing battle with the doctors receptionist (who told me that it was highly unlikely that I had a secondary condition, and that I couldn't have an appointment... hmmm!!!) I finally got to see a doctor yesterday who has signed me off work, and given me some heavy duty antibiotics.  Fingers crossed that they do the job as everything hurts from coughing for over a week, my nose is sore as I keep sneezing until I get nosebleeds, and I have no appetite and can't breathe properly.  As you might tell I don't do being ill!!!  And to make matters worse, we are supposed to be going to a black-tie do on Saturday, and I'm gutted as it's rare that we get posh-grown-up-all-dressed-up-time together and I'm poorly and don't know at the moment if I'm going to be well enough to go at all :-(

Right whinges over!!  Onto today's card which is for this fortnights Southern Girls Challenge which is Banners and Pendants. 

I've used Beach Huts from Delicious Doodles, colouring with Copics in a soft colour scheme.  I decided to keep the design of my card parred down and simple to suit this calming image,  I used some MME papers that seemed appropriate for the image and made a banner using some offcuts.  Oooh, and I got to play with a new Memory Box die that I got last month - like this one, think it'll be great for mens/boys cards!

Getting Krafty over at Southern Girls

Oops!  I meant to publish this the other day, typed it and like an idiot forgot to press publish!!  So sorry! 

Sooo... it's been a while huh!?  Glad to report that I'm back on it, mojo restored and raring to go :-D

And what better way to start than with a new Challenge for Southern Girls, which this fortnight is Get Krafty which is sponsored by 7 Dots Studio and Saturated Canary.

I was fortunate enough to use one of the fabulous Saturated Canary images, Princess Reading Beauty, and I teamed them with some MME papers from my stash, matting and layering them on Kraft c/s and stitching with my sewing machine.  I found some blue and Kraft flowers in my stash and a Tim Holtz ticket that seemed appropriate!  I couldn't help but add some lace and velvet ric rac and some pearls and pins as well, some things are never going to change!!

I've coloured my image with copics and added a touch of Glamour Dust to her shoes and headress - well every girl likes a bit of sprarkle!

To finish the card off I decorated the inside to match

Southern Girls Challenge - Oh Baby Baby

Hello!

A very long time with no see, I'm so sorry, life, the universe, and everything, got in the way.  I'm trying to make time for me, and therefore crafting but it ain't easy when I've got so much else going on!  Every time I think I've turned a corner it appears to be another dead end :-D  I'm sure I'll get myself out of the maze soon and normal service can resume!

Anyhooo, enough of my whinging, and onto today's card, which is a for this fortnights challenge over at Southern Girls, and the theme is Baby Baby

I decided to do a White on White card as I just love white cards for Birth Congrats, all fresh and clean, and I found this embossed babies feet cardstock in my stash... it must have been there a good couple of years, so I decided to use it.  Not that you can see it in the photo though!  Ahhh, I have such a nightmare taking pics of white cards!!  You'll just have to take me at my word :-D

I kept it simple-ish, colouring the Cuddle Cloud Baby image from Meljens Designs with copics then matting it onto more white c/s and tying a big organza bow, with a white button tied with oink and white bakers twine.  The sentiment is from the Baby Baby set by LCI (not sure if this is still available as a stamp set!)

I'll try to get a better picture and post it soon!

Thanks for looking, and hopefully I'll be back with more soon

Southern Girls Challenge 41 - Whatcha talkin' 'bout?

Hello!

How's you week going?  Mine is manic, and the internet situation is not helping me keep calm!  After so long waiting for the PC to get fixed not being able to log on is driving me nuts!  Honestly, what did we do when we only had dial up and it didn't work, crashed out, took ages... or even what did we do before the internet... not that long ago really!

Anyway, enough moaning, and onto today's card which is for this fortnights Southern Girls Challenge which is You Got Something You Wanna Say?

Todays card is a return to bright and bold for me as I've used some papers by one of this fortnights sponsors Eiglassing.  Now this may surprise you that I have NEVER used digi papers before, but these bright greens appealed to me :-D

Bugaboo are also one of the sponsors this fortnight and I just love this image - JJ Pregnancy Grow People - the both the image and the sentiment just makes me smile!

Gotta love the fact that she is in heels not the soppy flats everyone tells you that you should wear when you're pregnant!

I kept the design simple after trying out a few ideas... maybe it's the bright papers, or OMG maybe I'm heading towards a less is more stage again!!  Mind you if I am it'll save me a fortune on postage :-D

Southern Girls Challenge - Show Me a Secret

Hello!!

This weeks Southern Girls Challenge is Show Me A Secret and we are sponsored this fortnight by Delicious Doodles and The Paper Shelter, now the challenge is live, but the girls have a few issues with posting the challenge at the moment due to internet connection issues in NZ, but they thought to announce the challenge while they are trying to get on line to do the challenge post proper so you can get cracking with making your cards...

Onto my card... Hmmm, from first impressions the secret is pretty well hidden!! Keep reading and all will be revealed!!

I used Steampunk Fairy from Delicious Doodles, I wanted to colour her simply, but wanted to distress the the card using a variety of techniques.  The cog flourish in the corners was a complete nightmare as I had the bright idea (at the time!) to stamp the image then to carry it over onto the central panel.  It seemed like a good idea to emboss it with bronze embossing powder too - I like the effect but it was also quite stressful getting there!!  I then got busy with my collection of distress inks, blending and spritzing until I was happy and then over stamped with a variety of stamps.

 I wanted to give her wings the look as if they were once all sparkly, but that some of the sparkle has worn off over time.  I did this randomly streaking a glue pen over the wings, shaking over some Hunkydory bronze glitter, shaking off the excess then buffing off anything loose with a cloth.  I've never tried this before but I really like the effect!

 

As always, I coloured my image with Copics, then added gold pen to the wings, her earrings, and the armlet.  I squirted some gold stickles onto a scrap of paper, then painted it onto the gold parts so it catches the light, but isn't too obviously blingy.  I don't think I've explained that well, so hope it makes sense!

OK, so the secret is a panel behind the main image,  I printed this off on the computer then cut it out with a nestie, distressed it and the panel  - by this time my fingers resembled those of either a career criminal or someone with a 100-a-day habit! - and stamped all over with another stamp from my collection, twisting and turning to give a bit of depth.

I decorated the inside in a similar way, but added butterflies which I gilded with gilding flakes, each time I do a distressed card I think they get better, and I can certainly see how it can become addictive!!

  Supplies: Main Image - Steampunk Fairy- Delicious Doodles

Supplimentary stamps - Inkadinkadoo, Stampendous, Indigo Blue, Crafty Individuals, PTI
Mediums: Copics, Distress Inks, Gilding Flakes, Kanban
Other - Glitter, Embossing Powder, Stickles, Ribbon, Flitter Glu, Versamark

Oh, and cos it's me and I like ribbon, the hidden panel is tied up with a big bronze bow!!

That's it from me today, hope you like my cad!

Southern Girls Challenge #37 - Magic and Mystery

Hello!!

This fortnights challenge over at Southern Girls is Magic and Mystery and we are being very generously sponsored by The Paper Shelter and XXX

I used this fabulous image from the Paper Shelter - love this guy blowing up his balloon bubbles :-D.  One of my resolutions this year is to actually use my papers, and these are some that I got last year by Bo Bunny, I think they are Peacock Lane, and I thought the bubbly looking background went well with this image, and of course I just had to add some glossy accents to the bubbles!

Of course I had to use the new Doily Die that I treated myself to the other day - it's by Cheery Lyn designs but I was a bit worried how it would cut as it's quite an intricate design, as it turned out it took a couple of passes rotating the image but went through just fine, phew, always a bit of a worry when you try a new brand on your die cutter!!

Anyway, hope you like my card

Sparkle sparkle at Southern Girls

Hello!!

This fortnights challenge at Southern Girls is to Show us your Sparkle!!  

The challenge is being very generously sponsored by Pink Gem Designs and Delicious Doodles for Australia and New Zealand and Little Claire Designs for international entries

I used the Digi Lambretta image from Little Claire's, which I think is really fab and funky! Now you know I love my glitter and sparkle, so no worries you'd have thought, trouble was I went all blue and red, then worried that my card was too masculine for a bit of bling, but hey it's a bit 70's inspired which I seem to remember I've been told it was a decade of glam rock and therefore I think the blingy scooter is fine :-D

Anyway, here's my card

I promise there is bling on there!!  Darn camera, why do I have trouble in taking pics when there is lots of sparkle!!

There is sparkle on the flag, the footplate and the wheel arch, and glossy accents on the lights :-D  I found the rather fabby ribbon in John Lewis the other day, gems are from my stash, various Bazzill c/s and the blue circle is embossed with a Tim Holtz brick embossing folder

I decided to make a greeting into a little flag and attach it to the scooter with some craft wire, which I think looks pretty cool!!

Scrapbook Sisters - Two Colour Challenge

Hello!!

Disaster Annie here...  honestly I'm a one woman disaster zone this week!  Yesterday I told you about my PC packing up, and now I can add the car to the list.  First up I get a flat tyre.  Luckily we are still waiting to send another one back (yep, we are a 4 car family at the moment - but that is going in the next week or so, so it doesn't count!) Then the thing won't start.  Turns out a mouse had made the engine bay it's home.  And got hungry.  And nibbled.  The mouse is no more as it fried itself (ewww...) but in so doing has knackered the electrics.  Oh joy... all I ever wanted for Christmas was to have the car re-wired... seriously no crafty stuff was on my list, car re-wiring all the way!!  

Humf... hopefully I've been good enough all year and Santa will still get me the odd crafty thing :-D

Never mind, enough moaning already, and onto todays card!

This week at Scrapbook Sisters the challenge is to use only

Two Colours

Hmm... well my card uses Red and Green... and a touch of white... but white isn't a colour right!

Here it is

I used one of the images I won from Saturated Canary (isn't she cool!!) to make a Christmas card for my friends nearly-teenage daughter.

I really like how this image coloured up for a first time colour I think she looks OK, and that she is quite funky but not too much for a young lady (if you know what I mean!).  The papers are ones I found in my drawer by Adornit - and I think they work really well with this image

Southern Girls Challenge - Ribbon Madness

Hello!

Before I get chatting and forget I must apologise for my pictures. I don't know what I have done but I seemed to be completely incapable of taking a decent picture of my card, this is definately one where the pictures do NOT do it justice.  I tried and tried but ended up getting all cross and stressed, but I think you can see what you need to!  This wasn't the only thing that happened when I was making this card, but I'll get to that in a but :-D

Right excuses over... this week it's Lou's team's turn over at Southern Girls and the theme is 

Ribbon Madness

I was lucky enough to be given one of the stunning Tickled Pink images to use who are sponsoring this fortnights challenge along with Joanna Sheen and Stamp Fairy

This image is from the Lil Victorian Christmas range and she's called Lolita Christina and you can get her as a digi or as a stamp from the store... gorgeous!!

To my horror I coloured my image, put her aside to dry and assembled my card... then I decided to pop a touch of glossy accents on her glasses.  It's NEVER done this before but when I looked at the card the following morning somehow she'd got rose tinted specs!  I've used glossy accents on glasses before and it has never picked and bled the colour out like this!!  I was gutted as I really loved the card and had spent hours on it :-(  After a lot of umming and ahhing and wondering what to do I decided to leave it - she looks kinda cool with her shades on!  Did I get away with it?

I couldn't decide if she was wrapping the pressie, opening it, or had been caught having a sneeky peek :-D, so I decided to print out a sentiment on the PC and distress it with some Distress Inks

All the edges of the CS and papers have been distressed with my scissors (I must put a distressing tool on my Christmas list!) and with Victorian Velvet distress inks, and I tied the deep red wired organza into a lovely big bow (sorry I am SO into big bows at the moment!) and added a spacer flower and gem to the middle.  She's hiding behind a TH fence die cut for a bit more of a gothic feel :-D

I really am chuffed with this card - I'm so sorry the pics don't show you what it really looks like!!

Southern Girls Challenge - Bingo!

Hello!

Not my teams week this week over at Southern Girls, but I couldn't resist doing a card :-D  This week is a Bingo Challenge, and you can pick to go up and down, left to right or diagonally - but check the challenge blog for the full details!  I really don't want to be responsible if I don't explain it properly!!

I love the Paper Shelter images who are one of this fortnights sponsors, they are fabulous to colour, but I decided to use Victorian Morticia to make a Christmas Card, going across the middle line of the bingo board - Die Cuts, Gems and Ribbon (and yes I know my papers have glitter on them, but it's on there already, I didn't add it, so I have not counted glitter as one of my items!!)

I used both my MME Lost and Found Christmas pad and the 12x12 papers from the same range to create my card, and I noticed an off cut had a perfect image so I die cut a tag and shaped the paper to fit - I've tucked it away though :-D.  Unusually for me there is very little matting of the paper, but I distressed the edges of the papers with some Antique Linen Distress Ink.

This is quite a busy card, but I think the strong image can take it!

 

There's a gem in the centre of her necklace and on the pin heads, and more in the corners of the card.  I guess you can't help but notice the big ribbon!

Just Elfing around

Hello!  

I had time to make a quick card using one of the images from this fortnights Southern Girls Challenge international sponsor Sassy Design Studio - this little cutie is Emily the Elf.  If you haven't entered the challenge yet, you have a week to go to enter the Inspired by a Song challenge - this one is inspired by Santa Baby

 Iused some MME Jolly Holly papers which I like, although it's more traditional than I would normally buy, maybe it's my age! :-D.

There's glitter all over her tunic, which was a *nightmare* to photograph (!) and she's dressed in traditional elf attire colours :-DAnd check me out, getting down with the blond hair!  I'm trying to be brave as my natural tendancy is to colour hair brunette!

When I was routing through my craft box the other day I found some shrink plastic which I haven't used in ages, so stamped the sentiment on it, and cut and got shrinking - so satisfying!!

Supplies:

Image - Sassy Design Studios; Sentiment - Penny Black; 

MME Jolly Holly 6x6 pad;  Kraft and Green Bazzill;

Olive Sheer Striped Ribbon; Charm, Button and Pearls all from stash

Copics; Glamour Dust; Marianne D die; Spellbinders Labels 4 die
