Vroom, Vroom!

I've had a busy day today with cards. My friend came over this afternoon and we got some cards made for the communion tokens. I think the lady who asked if I'd make them will be surprised when she sees how many I've got ready. I still need to make some to hold 4 tokens as we've just made the single token ones so far. I would have made some tonight but I really needed to make a birthday card for my big brother. Even at my age I think of Jim and Hugh as my big brothers as they are 12 & 9 years older than me. Jim is the eldest and his birthday is on Friday so I need to post his card today!

I used :-

Image :- Hero Arts.

Sentiment & Card Candi :- Craftwork Cards.

DP :- DCWV - Linen Closet.

Buttons  and string.

Isn't this paper gorgeous and just perfect for a male card. I think the image is perfect for a male card too, especially for my brother. He's a time served motor engineer and latterly had his own business for over 30 years. Hope he likes it! I had to add the buttons after I managed to get ink on the image when I stamped the "Happy Birthday." What a clumsy idiot I am!

I'm entering the following challenges :-

Cupcake :- Sketch.
Craft Your Days Away :- Birthday.
A Spoon Full of Sugar :- Birthday.
Pile it On :- Blue, blue, blue - use 3 shades of blue.

I have to work today as my colleague is going to a funeral so it looks like I'm going to be at the last minute with my DT card for Totally Gorjuss - again!!

Thanks for looking, hope you like?

LOTV 104

Hi everyone, gorgeous day here so I'm just off out to walk the dogs again. Just a quick post to show an ultra quick card I made this afternoon.

I'm off to walk the boys now. Catch up with you all later.

Pink and Girly!

Hi everyone. After my exciting time at the Girls Want to Have Fun with Kath, Debbi and Anne on Saturday I haven't achieved anything else this week. Luckily my friend came over today and I made this card. My younger daughter's birthday is on Monday so maybe she'll get this card. I love this image, these PB hedgies are so cute aren't they. And I bought this gorgeous glittery paper at the Papeterie on Saturday. It's a lovely pad, half is glittered and the other half is double-sided, yummy.

A Spoon Full of Sugar :-Flower power.

Well I think that's me for now. Tomorrow I have a day off and there's a few things I'm hoping to do. For a start I need to sort out 3 parcels of candy for the winners of my birthday candy and get them posted.

Thanks for looking and I'm off to catch up with my DT commenting and visiting my favourite blogs.

Christmas in May.

Hi everyone, looks like I'm still not very good at posting even with 2 days off in the same week. At least I have something to show you as well as a DT card. I've been quite good this week. Usually I'm trying to make my DT card and get it posted on the DT blog by Thursday. This week it was all done and dusted on Monday. Net got such a shock she nearly fainted. She said she was only kidding!!

So yesterday I decided to make a Christmas card when my friend came over to craft and I even made another one later. We both used the same stamp which is one of her favourite Penny Black ones.

Here's the first one I made.

I used :-

Image :- Penny Black.

Colouring :- Promarkers.

Sentiment and card candy :- Craftwork Cards.

Embossing olders :- Cuttlebug Swiss Dots and Sizzix Tim Holtz Snow Flurries.

Jewels from stash and Glamour Dust.

And this is the second one, also very simple.

I used :-
Image, colouring, card candy, sentiment and Glamour Dust as before.

Snowflake :- Martha Stewart.

These are the challenges for the first card :-
Creative Inspirations Wednesday Challenge :- Embossing.
One Stitch at a Time :- Embossing.
Cupcake :- C for Christmas.

I'd like to enter the following challenges with the second card:-
A Spoon Full of Sugar :- White plus one colour.
Cards for Men :- Circles.

Hope you like! I've not really achieved much today. Can't even blame the weather as it's not been so nice today. We have had some sun but much hazier than it has been and quite a cold wind. At least it's still dry. We're promised rain today but so far it hasn't come. I'm off to take the dogs for yet another walk before I have tea and go to my friend's to make cards. A few of us go and we always have a lovely chat too. It's nice to be able to socialise as well as make cards.

Soon be the weekend!

Totally Gorjuss 45 Christmas in August.

Good morning everyone. If you're reading this on Saturday morning Mr Blogger has kindly published this post for me. I am off to an all day crop to celebrate my local craft shop being open for a year. Can't believe this year has passed so quickly!

But as the title suggests over at Totally Gorjuss our challenge this week is Christmas in August. So dust off your Christmas stamps and DP and take the chance to make a start to your Christmas cards.

This week we are being sponsored by Cupid Stamps.

Enjoy your weekend, especially if you have an extra day because of the Bank Holiday. Needless to say we don't have a day off up here in Aberdeenshire but I'm looking forward to next Monday as we have a local holiday then.

Edited to add :- guess who messed up the scheduled post?

Here Comes Summer!

Only one day of the weekend left now and I hope you have all had a nice one. I had a lovely time yesterday at a demo at Simply Create at Alford. The one and only Kath was demoing Hero Arts stamps and Distress Inks. I'm full of enthusiasm now and hope I can catch up with DT work and have a play. But I digress!!

This week at Just Cute Bears our challenge is Here comes Summer. Now you might be thinking "what Summer?" Well if it's not too good where you are you might just have to use your imagination!

I think this cute Penny Black bear just says "Summer." Look at him, doesn't he look as if he's enjoying himself? Lying in the sunshine in his hammock with a lovely cold drink lol!

I used :-

Image :- Penny Black - kickin'

DP :- Wild Rose Studio.

Roses :- Wild Orchid Crafts sprayed with Glimmer Mist.

MS punch.

Jewels, Sakura clear glitter gel pen and clear gel pen, ribbon from stash.

I'm going to enter some challenges with this card :-

Totally Papercrafts :- Animal Magic.

Papertake Weekly :- Sketch plus lemon and lilac.

A Spoon Full of Sugar :- Floral.

I hope I've got this right now! That's the trouble with scheduling a post, you're never sure you've done everything properly until it's actually posted.

This is a nice easy challenge so I hope a lot of you want to take part. As usual you're welcome to combine it with as many other challenges as you like.

Enjoy what's left of the weekend.

Easter Eggs!

Hi everyone. I made this card last night but I thought it would be nice to take a photo in daylight. It's great that I could take a photo before I went to work. The days are certainly getting longer now.

I'm going to enter a few challenges with this card :-

A Spoon Full of Sugar :- Easter.
House Mouse :- Sketch.
Susie's Sassy challenge :- Easter.
Charisma Cardz :- Something for the kids.
Stampin for the weekend :- Easter.
Magical Crafts :- Easter.
Daring Cardmakers :- Use a bird.

Image :- House Mouse.

Colouring :- Promarkers.

DP :- DCWV nana's nursery.

Sentiment :- computer generated.

Jewels and nesties.

I might be pushing it with the Daring Cardmakers challenge which is to use a bird. There are birds in two of the pieces of DP.

I'm quite tired now as I've been at work all day and that involves standing most of the time between 8.30 and 5.30. So I'll just post this and I realised in bed last night that I'd forgotten to do my Tesco order so I need to do that too.

Totally Gorjuss 19 Mum.

Good morning everyone, and if Mr Blogger has been behaving this will be posted on Saturday morning. This week at Totally Gorjuss our theme is "Mum." As usual we are sponsored so there is a nice prize for you. This week it is some sparkly stuff from Meyer Imports.

This week I have coloured this beautiful Tilda with Promarkers. I think this might be the first time I haven't used a Gorjuss Girl for the Totally Gorjuss challenge lol! She's one of my favourite new Tildas and I think I might use her quite often. I've used Tulip Yellow and Baby pink promarker to fit the Passion for Promarkers challenge and I've also added some faux stitching. The gorgeous papers are from K & Co. These are some of my favourite papers, they are lovely colours and lots of them are glittered too. I used Distress Inks in Tattered Rose and Mustard Seed on all my edges, glittered Tildas dress and added these lovely pink pearls from Prima to fit the Spoon Full of Sugar challenge. I embossed some of my yellow paper with the Swiss Dots Cuttlebug folder and this fits the Sophisticat challenge. Since the theme of the TG challenge this week is "Mum" it will also fit the Paperplay challenge. Oops nearly forgot to say that I followed the great sketch that Dawny P did for Papertake Weekly.


Hope you like! I'd really like to hear what you think. It really helps to know what other people think. So many of you entered our challenge last week that I was really struggling to get around all your blogs. If I didn't manage to leave a comment on your blog I'm really sorry and I'll try to do better next week. Not sure if I'll manage though as I have a family funeral next Thursday and it is over 3 hours drive away from us so I'll lose a whole day. Aunt Kate was the last of my late Father -in-law's sisters and the last of the family. She would have been 89 on Sunday coming so she's had a long, long life.

Anyway all that remains to say is have a nice weekend everyone and I'll be back tomorrow with my DT card for Just Cute Bears. I suppose I might manage back later to show you what I've done at the crop....if I manage to achieve much!!

Hearts and flowers!

At last after faffing about all day I've managed to finish a card and get it posted. It's only a very quick card though. Just Magnolia have a nice simple sketch this week which I really enjoyed using. This is one of my favourite Tilda images and I coloured her with Promarkers as usual. I also coloured the card candy from Craftwork Cards to match and edged the image before matting it on the same card as the base card. The DP I used is from paper adventures, the flowers and flat-backed pearls are from Prima and the ribbon and heart shaped jewels are from my stash.

I'v added another picture to show that the jewels are heart shaped - I need hearts and flowers for one of the challenges I'm entering!

I hope to enter the following challenges as well as Just Magnolia:-

Passion for Promarkers :- Pastel green and blossom.

A Spoon Full of Sugar :- Freestyle - what you like.

Crafty Creations :- Celebrations.

Creative Inspirations Wednesday Challenge :- Feminine.

Allsorts :- Hearts and flowers.

Cute Card Thursday :- Blooming Gorgeous.

I think I'll go and enter these challenges and get back to my DT card for Totally Gorjuss. I just need to get it finished so that I can post it on the DT blog and sort out a scheduled post for Saturday morning as I am going to a candle party tomorrow and I won't have time to do anything between getting home from work and going out.

Soon be the weekend girls only one more day to go lol!

Baby Girl Card.

I think I may be jinxed. I've left this a bit late as usual and when I finished I took a couple of photos and put them on the laptop and then uploaded them to blogger and decided which of the two looked best. Neither was actually that good but it is evening! Then I realised that I hadn't added the 5 jewels I meant to put under the ribbon. So I've deleted the first photos and tried again.

Not sure if I'm too late for the Mojo Monday challenge or not but I liked the sketch and I need a baby card. This is handy because the Cupcake challenge is a baby card and the Cute Card Thursday challenge is New. The Sohisticat challenge is fancy borders and I have done a heart border and the Spoon Full of Sugar challenge is hearts. The ABC challenge is L for layering. Lastly the Papertake Weekly challenge is new beginnings. I think I am probably too late for some of these challenges but the card will do for a friend who has a new grand daughter.

I used some lovely DP from Craft Creations, which unfortunately does not photograph very well! The cute little image is from Stampendous and I coloured it with Promarkers. The lovely scalloped card is from Craftwork Cards and I cut the border with a Martha Stewart punch.

I'd best shoot off now and do my ironing as I suppose I need to go to work tomorrow. Hope you all had a lovely weekend. It seems to have passed very quickly. I don't suppose tomorrow at work will pass very quickly. I'm really keen to get in among my new stash but I've been too busy this weekend. I've had a look at the 2010 Hero Arts catalogue that I treated myself to. That may have been a mistake as I can see more stamps I would like lol!!

Take care in this snowy weather and keep safe and warm. Hope you can find time to tell me what you think of my efforts.

Baby's 1st Christmas.

Hi everyone, it seems like ages since I posted....but it was just Friday! I made this card today for Oliver for his first Christmas. This is such a cute image from Janet at Pink Gem Designs. She has some gorgeous designs for Christmas and of course other occasions too. I am hoping to enter it in a couple of challenges:-

A Spoon Full of Sugar :- Baby's 1st Christmas.
Charisma Cardz :- Sketch.
Whimsy Challenge :- Christmas.
Pollycraft :- Anything Christmas.

Materials used:- Promarkers, Martha Stewart punch for snowflake. Finished with Card Candy from Craftwork Cards coloured with Promarker to match the image. Stickles added to image for a bit of sparkle. The DP is the gorgeous MME Colourful Christmas. I like it so much that I have bought some more!

Hope you like.

Today is Poppy's second birthday and Oliver is two weeks old already. We saw them at the weekend which was lovely. Grampa built a small part of Poppy's new outdoor play park LOL!! Some people might buy their little one a swing or a chute or whatever. My son-in-law has gone for the works. I think it might take Grampa quite a while to build the swing, chute, pirate boat etc, etc. The garage was full of long pieces of wood, pieces of metal, packets of screws and so on. I think it might have been better if he had had some help but son-in-law was at work. And to crown it all the weather was really nasty yesterday. Funny how Friday and today were both beautiful days but Saturday and Sunday were wet and miserable - typical.

Now I am off to play with some new goodies. I "had" to go into Stampaholics in Perth on Saturday and then I "had" to buy some new goodies. To crown it all when I got home last night there were two parcels waiting for me. One from Elaine at Quixotic Paperie and one from Craftwork Cards. So I have lots of nice new stash to play with.

Hope to see you tomorrow with a new card.

Halloween!!!

Yes I know I promised that I was finished posting for today but this is just a little fun card I made this evening. I really have to post a better photo in the morning...but can I please assure you that the colours are black, orange, purple and white. No matter what I try the purple is determined to look blue!

I've used the sketch from Aly's Sunday Challenge. Aly is a very talented stamper and she is only 10 years old. Pop over to her blog and you will see her amazing work.
The challenge over at Pile it on is to use Aly's sketch so I can enter it too.
There are some Halloween challenges around so I am entering them too. They are:-
Simon Says Stamp Challenge.
Allsorts challenge.
A Spoon Full of Sugar challenge
The Pink Elephant challenge. Halloween using the colours black, orange purple and white.

The DP is MME and I've coloured this lovely Tilda with Pumpkin with Promarkers. Nesties were used to cut the shapes and the flowers were cut using a Martha Stewart punch. I finished off with ribbon, jewels and brads from my stash.

I am off to iron now as it is Sunday night again already and I work all day tomorrow - yuk. I have had two Saturdays and Mondays off in a row so now I need to work two Mondays before I have the Monday off after the craft show in Glasgow. Hope the time passes quickly - think I will take the Sunday paper with me.

Not sure what use a Halloween card is to me but I can't resist a challenge lol!

Another Christmas Card.

Well after wasting the entire morning, well not an entire waste. I went to Tesco briefly since my son is going to be staying for a couple of days this week again. I also went to the vet's and got worming tablets for the dogs - treat for them in a few minutes lol !! And of course I had to do the washing and get it outside.

Isn't this a great sketch from Truly Scrumptious and I even managed to do some doodling on it. I coloured the lovely winter Anya from the Greetings Farm with Promarkers. Isn't she lovely? I used some gorgeous Christmas DP from Bo Bunny - I love this paper. I decoupaged Anya's muff, earmuffs, pompoms of scarf, hem of coat and top of her boots and stickled them all too. I added some strips of ribbon and topped them with some buttons from my stash. Nearly forgot to mention that I had doodled round the image for the Truly Scrumptious challenge.

I hope you like this card and I have a few challenges to enter with it.

Truly Scrumptious:- Sketch and doodling.

A Spoon Full of Sugar:- Christmas.

Pile it on:- 3d.

Creative Card Crew:- Sparkle.

Charisma Cardz:- Decoupage.

Simon Says Stamp Challenge:- Red and green.

Anyone for Anya:- You're Anya.

I'm off to make tea now and sort out my washing to iron later (or maybe tomorrow!). See you all later if I can get time to check out some blogs.

Autumn Breeze.

I'm a bit surprised at how quickly this card came together. I spent ages looking at the Basic Grey Indian Summer papers because I wanted to do a couple of Fall/Autumn challenges but somehow I couldn't find the effect I wanted! Then I settled on some MME bloom and grow papers. Not sure if they are right for autumn but they fit with what I had in mind lol! I edged the papers in frayed burlap and antique linen Ditress Inks and also added faux stitching. I used Promarkers to colour this sweet image from the Whiff of Joy Fall set. As embellishments I added a flower, a leaf and a button. The leaf was cut out using a Martha Stewart punch.



I am planning to enter a few challenges with this card:-

Crafty Cardmakers:- Sketch
Whimsy:- Autumn (Fall) colours.
A Spoon Full of Sugar:- Autumn.
http://lalalandcrafts.blogspot.com/:- 3 different embellishments - a flower, a leaf and a button.
Simon Says Challenge:- 3 embellishments, 2 papers and 1 image.
Stamp Something:- Favourite colours or papers - favourite papers - MME bloom and grow.

It's a beautiful morning here in Aberdeenshire. The kind of morning that makes you glad to have dogs to walk and washing to hang out lol! I seem to have a small problem uploading images this morning so I am going to leave this just now and come back to it later.

Everything seems fine now so I have uploaded my photo and now I need to go off and enter the challenges before I forget!! My daughter has been brushing one very hairy chocolate Labrador and now she (the dog) is lying down tired -poor thing - because she had a daft turn and started running about as only a Lab can. You know how they do it back legs in front of the front legs they are going so fast.

Hope you are all having this gorgeous sunny weather today, for September it is really fantastic. And what am I going to do now - well carry on crafting of course cos tomorrow is a full day at work and then I am out in the evening for a couple of hours at the Guild. I might manage another post later if I can get another card done before the light goes.

Enjoy your Sunday.

Second Post today.

Me again! I used this great sketch from A Spoon Full of Sugar to make this card. The lovely fairy is from Sugar Nellies, isn't she cute? I coloured her with my Promarkers and inked round the square with sandstone Promarker. I added star shaped jewels to her dress and hair. The stars on her wand and belt are stickled and I covered her wings with a Sakura stardust gel pen. I added some gel pen to her dress and belt too. Not too much bling I hope lol!! I made the flowers from scraps of the three papers with 3 sizes of EK Success punches. Then I inked round the petals with a Promarker and added a brad to each. Nearly forgot the DP is the lovely wild asparagus from MME.Hope you like her! I was quite surprised to make two cards yesterday evening. It's wonderful how sometimes it all comes together and you can make a card in no time and other times you spend ages trying to find the right image and papers and all the extra little bits you want to add!

Challenges for this card:-

Passion for Promarkers:- Sandstone and blue pearl.
A Spoon Full of Sugar:- Sketch.
Creative Card Crew:- Fairy nice day.
Paper Blooms:- Bling.
Stamp Something:- Favourite embellishments - flowers.

I'm off to post this now and maybe get an update on blogs and challenges. What I really ought to do is finish my ironing and phone my Auntie to see how her birthday went. She's fantastic for 93. I hope if I have to get really old that I'm like her. I don't think she crochets now but she still knits and does Sudoku and crosswords and gets out a lot and lives by herself. Not to mention if you phone her you can be on the phone for about an hour.

Have a nice evening and I'm off to enter some challenges!

Wet Thursday!

This was a quick card I made a couple of days ago to show my friend who wants to make some cards for a sale of work. The idea is originally Clare's (Littlebear), thanks Clare. She made a lovely card the other day by inking her stamps and stamping on her card. She also scored round each side with her score-bug and added cut out leaves. If you look at Clare's blog you will see that her card is much nicer than mine. I used my Ultimate (Crafter's Companion) to emboss lines top and bottom and inked my image and sentiment stamps with brush markers. I'm not usually so minimalist but I know that people will not pay a reasonable amount for a nice card at a sale of work. But they will pay more for rubbish from a shop. Need to watch I don't fall of my soapbox lol!! I was in a shop recently with a friend who was looking for a child's birthday card and I couldn't believe how much it was for the simplest card. Guess I haven't looked at cards in shops for a long time.The next card is what I have been making today on a miserable wet day. I don't think the rain has ever stopped. I'm not sure my dogs have dried out since their walk and it will soon be time to go out again. I used the lovely sketch from Sketch Saturday and rotated it to fit the image better. I masked this lovely Tilda in Cherry Dress so that she could sit on a bench. I haven't done much masking so I was quite pleased with how she turned out! I watercoloured her. I've rounded all the edges except the base card. The flowers have been cut out using my new EK Success flower punches and popped on with sticky pads for a bit of dimension. I glittered them plus the cherries on Tilda's dress and the ornaments in her hair with a Sakura glitter gel pen. Pity you can't see the glitter but it is not a bright enough day for good photos. I sewed round all the edges with my mini sewing machine. I am getting used to doing this now - not good at it just used to doing it!! I inked all the edges with Antique Linen Distress Ink. Ribbon, brads and sparkly jewels are from my stash.



Challenges I am entering:-
Sketch Saturday:- The great sketch.
Just Magnolia:- Image and ribbons and bows.
La La Land challenge:- Bling.
A Spoon Full of Sugar:- Distressing.

Hope you like, think I will think about my next challenge now before I make tea and walk the dogs. I think it will be a very short walk as it is still raining. My old dog won't complain and I don't think the other one will either! I'm off out tonight to make cards with friends. Yesterday afternoon I was making cards with some other friends. Hard work but someone's got to do it.

See you soon,

Kat xx
