I love you

This card is for my Hubby's cousin to give to her Fiancée.

I'm not overly happy with it and I think I could done alot better with the colouring but I've not been in the right head space to be creative so it's my own fault.

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges :

Sketch n stash - great sketch - old papers, new twine

Pollycraft - distressing - distress ink used on edges of all papers

Cards for men - anything goes

Dream Valley - distressing

Crafty Emmas Store - 2 different DP

Bugaboo - distressing

The image(LIli of the Valley) is coloured with copics.  The DP's are from my scrap drawer, I think they may be from a magazine.  The twine is laced through the image and came from aldi.  I have used walnut distress ink on the edges of all the papers.

Oh how I love Teddy Bo digi stamps

Hi there, Welcome to my blog.  I finally get to share something with you today.  Its taken quite a bit of work but I'm pleased with the result.

My neice turns 21 in a weeks time and she has asked for baking goodies as her present.  I thought I would add a special little something.  I have altered a brownie mix box and turned it into a recipe box.  We used to bake alot with her when she was little so it's going to be filled with recipes from her childhood.

I would like to enter my altered recipe box to the following challenges :

Teddy Bo - alter something

Stamp Something - use a digi stamp

Craft us crazy - anything goes

Dream Valley - surprise - Teddy Bea and Jolly the g Jiraffe are hiding inside the lid of the box

Papertake - anything goes
Night shift stamping - anything goes
Sundays with Chrissy - KISS card

This is how the box started out.  Very yummy chocolate brownie mix I sometimes get from Costco.

Here is the front of the box with items from this mornings baking session.

Here you can see Teddy Bea and G Jariffe peeping at you when you open the lid. They are coloured with copic's.

The lettering and the fancy label are cut on my cricut.  Bea is coloured with copic's.

Here's a close-up of the sneaky pair hiding in the box.

Where it looks like I have used kraft cardstock I have actually used insides of the boxes coke comes in.

Both the "kraft" cardstock and the PP have got vintage photo distress ink around the edges.  I also drew stitches in brown metallic pen around each PP.

I hope you like my altered box and for those of you kind enough to leave me comments, I send you a big cyber hug,

Kenny K's Krafty Girls Challenge #3

This past week has seen me colour in quite a few Kenny K images, and I have fallen in love with.

When I saw the challenge this week I wasn't sure I could make a pocket card but decided to give it a go.

I am entering this card into the following challenges :

Kenny K's - pocket cards

Stamptacular - pocket cards

Allsorts - free n easy
Dream Valley Challenge - a surprise

I have used Teen Idol.  I have really had my moneys worth with this guy.  He is coloured with copic's then fussy cut out and mounted on foam pads onto an oval that is edged with forest moss distress ink.

The green paper was "grunged" up by stamping parts of the lili of the valley grunge postcard in the forest moss distress ink.

I die cut a Penny Duncan shaplie then folded it in half and stuck onto the inner pocket so you can easily pull that section out.

I have stuck a triangle on the back so that it can stand up.

You will have to believe me when I say that this card looks much better IRL.

Thanks for dropping on by,
