It's Happy Birthday Time at Craftalicious

Good morning Peeps,

Yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy it's Friday and it couldn't have come soon enough this week. We are soooooo busy at work that I am working lunches and doing extra hours and am totally exhausted! Didn't help that it took me 7 hours to clean my Daughter's room whilst she was away for a week, you just wouldn't believe how messy and untidy she is, in fact there isn't a word invented yet to describe it!

Today over at Craftalicious the theme has been chosen by the lovely Carly and she has chosen "Happy Birthday". As usual it can be anything you like, a card, scrapbook page or gift. We are being sponsored by Karen's Doodles who is offering 3 images of your choice as the prize and Karen has some brilliant and fun images so if you haven't given them a go, please hop over to check them out.

It's Make A Shaped Card At Karen's Doodles

Post No. 2 Peeps,

Over at Karen's Doodles this week the challenge is to make a shaped card and I thought what better than to make another Christmas Card to get ahead of the game again, lol.  I chose to use one of the WS Designs templates and added a nestie in the middle just to make it different and those of you who know me, will know that I like to be different.

I have chosen good old Bigsby Swinging Lights, I just love Bigsby.  You can get him from HERE.  Please pop over and check out the other Doodle Princesses creations HERE and remember to enter you must use a Karen's Dooles image.

Molly Harrison at Crafts and Me

Happy Saturday Peeps,

Apologies to my first 3 followers this morning. I was awaiting the launch date and it changed so I just put my photo on ready and scheduled the date as the 10th and didn't add any text so was quite surprised this morning to see some comments on my Molly Harrison card, as I had completely forgot I had it scheduled  it and also was surprised that I hadn't done any text.  So much for being organised, lol.

Anyway, enough babbling, here is one of the Gorgeous new releases over at Crafts and Me of the Molly Harrison stamps. Very detailed but I am sure you will all think she's worth it. Check out the other Molly Harrison and Hannah Lynn stamps exclusive to Teresa at Crafts and Me and I do believe they are flying out the door, so don't leave it too long. If you look at the post before this one you will see one of the Hannah Lynn stamps, not to be missed.......

I have coloured the image using copics and used Tim Holtz distress inks for the background.  The Design Papers are basic grey.  I have added a swirly black rub on and gorgeous flowers from wild orchid crafts which have been distresswed with walnut stain ink and stickles glitter glue added.  The leaves are from one of the Marianne Dies, the poinsetta, which is embossed.

I have entered this card into the following challenges:-

Last but not least my DT card using the brand new and exclusive Hannah Lynn Stamps...... woo hoo...

Please pop over to the Crafts and Me Challenge Blog to see the otheer Design Team creations using the new releases and also the Crafts and Me Shop where you will be able to purchase these new yummy stamps.  If they are not listed then please keep popping back, I know Teresa is doing her hardest to try and list them all.

For this weeks challenge at Crafts and Me, the lovely Teresa has chosen the wonderful striking theme of Pink, Black and White.  Awesome!

The above Hannah Lynn stamp is a deeply etched red rubber stamp with thick lines, really fab, I know you won't be disappointed.  I have coloured her using copics on cryogen cardstock. OMG, this cardstock is just brilliant and will probably never be captured in the photo but it is slightly irridescent so has that beautiful shine to it.

Clean and Simple at Karen's Doodles

Me again Peeps, nearly done for the day,

Over at Karen's Doodles the Doodle Princesses have been tasked with the theme of "Clean and Simple".  A hard task for me, I'm busy, busy, busy, lots of sparkle, glitz and flowers. To top that, I chose this really fun Soccer Boy image, lol.  I really enjoyed bringing him to life and we all need boy/men cards in our box don't we, so this is one for the box!

I have coloured him with copics and added some diamond glaze to the frog in his pocket to make him glisten and pop out, but I know you can't see this in the picture so you will just have to believe me.

GD Sketch for Pixie Cottage

Good Morning Peeps,

I was thrilled recently when Michelle from The Pixie Cottage contacted me and asked me to be a Guest Designer for the month of July.  Of course I said yes, I just love their sketches and their stamps.  If you haven't visited before then please pop over to The Pixie Cottage Blog here, and Michelles Online Store for all Pixie Cottage Stamps and More HERE.  Below is the sketch that I followed with an added Aperture somewhere on your card.  I chose to add a circular aperture right in the middle of my card:-

The Stamp I used is of course a Pixie Cottage Stamp, Gorgeous isn't it.  I have lots of sparkle which unfortunately you can't see very well.  I used Swaroski Crystals so this card really has a Twinkle, Twinkle effect.  I have also used my sewing machine again, lol.

The above picture is the inside of the card where you can see quite clearly the cutout aperture, which I did with my nesties.  Not an easy task though as I had quite of few layers to get through and my new cutting spacer plate hadn't arrived in time.
