Happy 18th Grandson

I usually like to post something on my blog everyday but I have been busy on DT work which I will be able to share with you all soon.

For today I have a card for an 18 year old boy off his Grandma.  

I would like to enter my card into the Papertake weekly challenge.  They have a great sketch going on, you should go and look.

The image was off a very good friend of mine so I need to go and ask her whose image it i so I can give credit.  I have coloured him with my copic's and I added some white gel pen to his shoes and I coloured the number one on his rosette in blue glitter pen.

The papers are from my stash and the sentiment is computer generated.

I'm very tired so off to bed soon,

Whoops a Daisy!

You know when you're little you say when I grow up I want to be .....  Well, when I grow old I want to be like my hubby's Gran.  She's a tough old bird, who won't let anything get her down, even falling down.  She's currently spending time some time in a local nursing home getting over a few falls, so I thought I would make her a card to let her know we are thinking of her.

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

Stamp with fun - sketch used

Critter challenge - anything goes

Cupcake crafts  - bears

Sentimental sundays - step out of your comfort zone (I'm a copic's girl and this is only my second go with my new prismacolor pencils)

Teddy Bo - things with wings (Bo has lost his butterflies thru a hole in his net)

Little Miss Muffet - things with wings - see above

Anything goes - anything goes

Sweet stampin - anything goes

Night shift stamping - brads (gem brad in centre of flower)

This cute guy is called Flutterby net Bo and I've coloured him with my prismacolor pencils.  This is only the second image I've coloured with them.  I have used red glitter pen for the escaping flutterbys.

The red spotty paper has been spots of glitter for extra sparkle. The black flocked paper across the centre is a bit of left over wallpaper. The flower is done with my magnolia doo hickey die, I added an american crafts gem brad to the centre.  The swirls are Marianne and are cut in black glitter paper.

The sentiment is computer generated and was something always said to me when I fell as a child.

Top tip - time for the kids

Stamptacular - just sayin

Happy 18th Birthday Tom

My cousin turns 18 on Friday and so I have a few cards to make for him off various members of the family.  This is my first of 2 cards I want to share with you today.   I would like to enter this card into the following challenges :

Sweet stop sketches - really good sketch (I removed the flowers and moved the text to the top)
2 sisters - gingham or plaid
Allsorts - keep it simple
Cuddly buddly - big number or letter
Creative inspirations - lets celebrate
Anything goes - anything goes
Digital tuesday - people images
Top tip - for the kids
Here come the boys - bingo- 2 squares, cute image, twine

The image is by Mo's digital pencil and was coloured with copic's.  It was a tricky image to colour with lots of shading but I'm pleased with how it's turned out.  The gingham paper is off a friend and the twine off another friend (yes, I do have great friends)  All papers have been given the paper distresser treatment.
Thanks for dropping on by today and I want you all to know just how much I appreciate your kind comments.
Hugs

Teddy Bo - Things with wings

Yesterday I used my brand new prismacolor pencil's for the first time.  I followed the great tutorial by Nicole that she did for Teddy Bo's top tip tutorial.  Today I made her into a card.

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

Teddy Bo - things with wings

Little Miss Muffet - things with wings

Tuesday Morning Sketches - sketch used

Anything goes - anything goes

Papertake weekly - creatures

Stamp with fun - anything goes

The crafty pad - bling it up

One stop crafts - girly

Crafty emmas store - 4 different embellis - glitter, charm, ribbon, gems

As I said above the Teddy Bo image is coloured with prisma's.  I have added glamour dust to her wings and the star on her wand.  The gems were clear but I coloured them with brown copic.  The PP is from my stash drawer and this is the last lot of it.  The charm is from a bracelet I got from Primark.  The ribbon is done on my bow easy and is a treble bow.

Big hugs

Why I love Teddy Bo

When I was on Facebook earlier I noticed on Teddy's Bo bit that my Dad dresses like Teddy Bo or vice versa, as Dad's a little older than Teddy Bo. 

 Strange?? 

Well there was a card featuring Teddy Bo - Dad's upside down.  In this image Teddy Bo is dressed in hat, tank top, shorts and boots.  Now check out this photo of my Dad 

You can't see it but there's a tank top under his jacket. 

 Now you know why I can't not love Teddy Bo!!

Sorry Dad couldn't resist not telling everyone,

Hugs
