Something a Little Different

Good morning crafty friends.

I'm putting a post up before my Son's friend comes around as I won't have time to do it later!

This card is a little different for me (as you can probably tell lol - oh except for the black card - it's a fave!).  I bought some new window dies and a brick stencil to create this little scene.  The little cat came with the windows die.  I like how it turned out, although I found doing the window and window box a little fiddly.

Here it is...

It was a fun card to do.  The brick stencil is from the Craft Workshop and the Window Dies are from First Edition.  I have used Adirondack Purple Twilight ink pad for the bricks.  My cute image I got from Art by Miran.

Challenges:-

4 Crafty Chicks - Anything Goes

As You Like It - Fur or Feathers (fur for me as I adore cats and I am getting a kitten very soon as my lovely Suki passed away not too long ago aged 24 - miss her so much).

Good afternoon crafty friends.

I'm doing a scheduled post as in a short while I'm off to take my lad for his haircut.


There is another FANTASTIC challenge over at Penny's Paper-Crafty this week and the theme is USE RIBBON OR TWINE.  Please come along and join in the fun.

Here is my card....

This super image is from Dr Digi's House of Stamps.  This will be me in the not too distant future except I hope to have at least two more cats perched on the back of the chair and one snuggling at my feet lol.

I have coloured this in with Promarkes and the papers are Echo Park 6 x 6.  I don't have much of this particular pad left :(

I Want to Ride my Bicycle

Good afternoon everyone.

The summer holidays started here for my lad and it's nothing but rain.  He's been good though.  He's been spending a lot of time on the computer with a friend and on Thursday he has another friend coming here, then he is going to that friend's house on Friday.  They will be stuck inside though as the rain is on for the week.

I have a card to share....

This sweet image is from Time 4 Tea Designs.  I had a little win from there a few weeks ago and got to choose some really lovely digi stamps.

I have coloured her in with Promarkers and the papers are Echo Park.  The cogs I have die-cut, then added gems to the centre.

Good morning everyone,

First off, I must apologise for not commenting recently and will catch up with you all soon.  Been very busy at the School as have been given extra hours.  School is out at the end of this week for 6 weeks so am looking forward to the break.

We have a new challenge over at Penny's Paper-Crafty and the theme this week is CHRISTMAS IN JULY.  This is my first Christmas card made this year! 

Here is my card....

Look!  No designer paper, ribbon or flowers!  I've shocked myself lol.  But I thought this cute image and sentiment from Sunsational Stamps would be perfect for a CAS design.

Good Morning friends.  How are you.  We had the Buxton carnival yesterday and my lad was on the Cub's float doing an RAF theme.  Photos below.  My lad's the one with dark hair and blue shirt & tie.

First off...

This lovely design is from the Art by Miran store.  Decided to treat myself to one as I do love her designs.  She is coloured with pro-markers and I had added glitter details to the roses and hair with gel pens but they have not shown up.  My flowers are Wild Orchid Crafts and the papers are LOTV Petal Fresh.  The bobble trim is from the Works.
