Visit to Crafty Shell

Well hello there,

I have finally pulled myself away from chocolate, Baileys and True Movies and went to visit the dodgy scouser (Shell) in Scouseland! As usual she forced me to craft!

Anyway I actually decided to make a male card which is something I rarely choose to do and have pledged to try to make a Christmas card and a male card every month next year.

I used a Kenny K image, his digi stamps are great but unfortunately I dont have many of them.



I coloured the image with promarkers and papers from stash (cant remember whose they are), buttons from stash and ticket from Birmingham NEC in November.

I have entered this card in the following challenges:

Kenny K Challenge - distressing
Create4Fun - sketch

I hope you like tonights offering.

Thanks for looking.

Sarah Hurley DT Card

Hello everyone,

I hope it is cold enough for you! This week it was my turn to set the Sarah Hurley challenge and I attempted my own sketch.



The optional extra is to add a charm.

I used the Sarah Hurley vintage papers from the Christmas CD and her martini glass from her Christmas stamp set.



I added 3d gloss to the "liquid" but you can't see it very well in the photo.

Pop on over to the Sarah Hurley challenge blog and join in the fun.

Thanks for looking.

Sarah Hurley DT Card

Well here we are at another Sarah Hurley challenge, I cant believe how quickly the weeks are going. I am in London right now so I hope that this post has displayed at the right time!

This weeks challenge is Christmas Decor, this can be either a decoration or a card depicting a Christmas decoration. I chose to depict a door wreath.



I used the argyle and stripe papers from the Winter Wonderland CD and the carol singers digi stamp and Noel ticket from the same CD.

I coloured the image with prisma pencils and buttons from stash. Finally I used the distressing technique.




Have added glitter to the wreath and the snow but not sure you san see it well.

Sarah Hurley DT Card

Oops sorry I thought I had posted this on Thursday and it went to the wrong blog!

Wow I can't believe how quickly the week has gone and we are now here at my 2nd week on the Sarah Hurley DT team.

This weeks Sarah Hurley challenge was masking and oh my I did find it a challenge. I used the 2 deers from Sarah's stamp set. As my printer was broken I couldnt print out any papers so I have gone for a monochrome look and used card from stash.



I stamped the small deer first and then masked it and stamped the large deer over the top. Stamped sentiment with gold pigment ink and embossed with kaleidoscope embossing powder, then added some ribbon from stash.



Hope you like my efforts to join the challenge pop over to the Sarah Hurley Challenge Blog.

Good Evening

Well I am sorry I have no cards to show you this weekend but am busy trying to decorate which I have to say I am hating!

I was planning to make a card tonight as I have some orders but I am just so tired.

Anyway as I dont have any exciting cards to show you I thought I would show you a picture of the love of my life taken when I went to see him switch the lights on at Blackpool!!

Enjoy...........................

Uber Excited!

I have plucked up the courage to enter another DT call, this time at Paper Sundaes. This is their second DT call and I have decided to take a chance and enter.

I have to pick 3 of my efforts to enter, which was actually a lot tougher than I thought. I have put my choices below, I hope you like them.
