Rock and Roll

Hello,

Sorry I haven't posted for a bit... Iv'e been busy working, shopping and trying but not gettting any xmas pressies and trying to start making my xmas cards! I love this time of year but it is soooo crazy isn't it?

Anyway today we have a new challenge over at HERE COME THE BOYS. It's challenge #17 and the title is   ROCK AND ROLL.

The image is a very old stamp that I had to blow away the cobwebs in order to use...ha..ha..ha. It's from and old company called Diamond Stamps and dated 1997, unfortunately not going anymore. It brings back memories and reminds me just how long Iv'e been stamping for (15yrs +) OMG!!! I wonder what's your oldest stamp?

I coloured this image with Promarkers and added a little vintage photo to the edges. Then mounted it up and seated it on a folded circle to create that "Rock and Roll" feeling! 

I kept it quite simple as that's all it needed!

I hope you like



Man in your Life

Hiya,

Well today we have another new challenge over at HERE COME THE BOYS. Thanks to everyone who played last time, we had some brilliant entries again. So on to todays and we have a theme of The Man in Your Life. Here is my DT card.

This was such a fun card to make as my niece and her boyfriend have just brought their first home together...... and he is sooo excited about doing it up and moving in.... so I thought I would make a fun birthday card to make him smile!

I found this great digi image on Mo Mannings blog and had to have it. I used my Promarkers to colour it and made the ladder out of some scraps of card. I just made the sentiment up as I didn't have the right words. I can't believe I made this card in time too as I am normally running late. I just hope my nieces boyfriend likes it now!

Why not hop over to the blog and join in the fun with us DT girls.

I hope you like.

Halloween!

Hello
Goodness me aren't the weeks flying by! and the weather is certainly cooling down!
Anyway on to this weeks new challenge over at HERE COME THE BOYS  #13 Halloween. The design team were asked to create a card/ project using a halloween theme, so I thought I would wonder over to one of my fav Digi sites ( Mo Manning ) and grab myself an appropriate image. This is my card

Isn't he cute! I don't normally make cards for Halloween as we don't really celebrate it except for a glass of witches Brew on the night (Cream Soda with Blackcurrant and Vanilla ice-cream) Mmmm lovely! I don't watch the scary movies either cos i'm a scaredy cat! except the spoof comedy ones He He He!!

I used Cool Grey Promarkers to colour the bandages and Spellbinders circles to frame him. The pumkin is a Cuttlebug die shaded with a little orange ink from the Memento range and some glitter. Hop over to HERE COME THE BOYS and see what the rest of the DT have done, and while your there why not have a go and enter your self. I hope you like

Tug of War

Hello blogland

Well sorry about not blogging much but I have been working alot covering  for others while they go on their Hols....Next week is my turn for a holiday...HOOORAYYYY!

Anyway this week is the start of another new challenge over at HERE COME THE BOYS. 

#10 Shakers / Sliders 

I decided to make a slider card and here it is

Pull the tab from the left to the right and you got a real tug of war!

The image is from Kenny K digi downloads and it is the August Freebie. I copied it twice but flipped one image and then joined them together. I coloured them with Promarkersand cut them out. The slider was made by cutting two thin slots, wrapping two small strips of card through the slots and attaching a long pull tab to the back. Then I used foam pads to attach the panel to the card front.

Finally I popped the image on to the front of the wrapped strips with foam pads.

Hop on over to HERE COME THE BOYS and check out what the rest of the team have created. Don't forget to have a go at the challenge yourself. I hope you like.

Monochrome

Hiyaaaa!

Well I have been busy busy busy! I really am getting my mojo back and enjoying making cards again. This time I have made a card for my DT over at DO IT WITH DIGI'S.
