Lines or No Lines

A new challenge starting today over on As You Like It and this time round we would like to see Lines or No lines! Whats your favourite when it comes to colouring? Remember to tell us why.  Mines definitely Lines. No lines are such a strain on my eyes and some of the no line digital images are just too faint for me. I sometimes tone down a lined image because I think its a wee bit harsh but thats about it. I have used Colour me Wonderful  by Saturated Canary, had her for some time, always wanted to colour her up but all that hair, didn't know where to start! My colouring course has definitely given me confidence to colour images out of my comfort zone.

Decorated the front of my Colouring Journal using MME and ribbons

Fun crafting quotes from Woodware stamps, great for my journaling

Copics used

Hair BG09 BG05 BG02 BG000

Dress R89 R85 R83 R81

Hair strandsBV08 BV04 BV02 BV31

Skin Eooo E00 E21 E11 E04 R20

Background YR20 YR21 YR23 Blender

The other two sentiments are from a LOTV sentiment set.

Hope you will come over and join in the fun

Cas or Fussy

Favourite Cas or Fussy

 this time round over 

on

  As You Like It 

and remember to tell us why in your link up. 

We are sponsored this fortnight by 

Crafty Ribbons

Well I would have to say  its kinda fussy considering CAS usually is mostly as little amount of layers and embellishes as possible. Think this was plenty of fussy for this country wee cutie. Love layers of pretty papers and  embellishes that compliment my image and depends on the image how far I go dressing my card up.

Disdigitalstamp image coloured with Copics

 Started out as a Birthday card and ended up with the sentiment You make my heart happy, flying out the door in my sons hand. Going to a good home. Used MME papers from two different sets layered onto chocolate brown card, Butterfly die cut and button to finish.

What's Your Favourite Fibre!

A new challenge starting today

 over on

  As You Like It

and this fortnight

 we would love to see your

 Favourite Fibre

 on your creations and tell us why in your link up..

We are sponsored by

Have plenty of favourites but I do love Velvet. Adds a touch of luxury to a card and so love the look.

I have gone with a Sugar Nellie stamp called A Little Bit of Gossip, isn't she adorable and decided to colour her up with Promarkers, warm greys, 1-5. Added a splash of colour with the reds and finished off with some glamour dust.

Love That Hat!

Had one just like it when I was a child lol.

Hello everyone, been awhile since I last posted, a lot of headaches and some happy times. Firstly, my laptop died on me and a new one came home, hadn't even had time to get used to it and it ended up with a Virus that I couldn't get rid of so got someone to put everything right, then I had to install my own programs which aren't running too smoothly at the mo and all over the place with Windows 8, not finding it very user friendly at the mo. Haven't had much time to spent on it as my happy time took priority. My son came home from Australia and have spent much of my time with him and the rest of the family, meals, chilling out enjoying time together. Sadly the couple of weeks just flew by and he's now gone back. My other fab news , I won a colouring course with Kit and Clowder through The Sugar Nellie blog, was over the moon and I get a GDT spot on the blog too.

So onto my card which is for our challenge over on As You Like It and this fortnight we would like to see you favourite Digi Image and tell us why in your linkup.

Wow! Where do you start picking a favourite! I went for a new one I have been eyeing up for a few weeks and was perfect for a card I needed to make. I love her outfit, all cosy for the Autumn days ahead and she is cute, love her. Can see her ending up on some Christmas cards too if I ever get round to making a serious start! First I need to tidy my craft room back up, how on earth did I make so much mess making one card!

My Autumn Story Teller"

Morning  A new challenge starting today over on As You Like It and this next fortnight we would love to see your Favourite Season  on your cards and please remember to tell us why in your link up.
We are sponsoired by

I love cosy colours so its Autumn for me. Love the rich colours the leaves turn, such a beautiful time in the countryside, nothing beats a walk through the woods and back home to a cosy fire!

I have chosen the 'Story Teller'  from Sugar Nellie, just so cute and perfect for my Autumn card.  Coloured her with Pro/Flexmarkers and added Glamour Mist to her wings then finished off with Frosted Stickles for that mystical feel!

My only embellishments, ribbon and string bow, stitched button and heart with a small hello tag. Perfect, didnt feel it needed anything else!

Finished card, basket weave embossed background, pretty papers and adorable Sugar Nellie image from Funkykits, you can get the 'Story Teller' in rubber or if you can't wait, digital and bring her to life right away 

lol!

Special Moments!

Gosh I'm blogging a card in between challenges lol! Having a break from diy, have ran out of supplies so another trip to Homebase. Starting to see an end to extension nightmare, can finally use the new back door, have a downstairs loo and my washing machine back inside new utility room. What a relief I can tell you after so much mess over the last three years. Maybe I can settle down soon and get crafting. Okay, my card for a young lady turning Thirteen, had completely forgot I bought Sugar Nellie stamps a couple of weeks ago, lucky I remembered as just perfect for my card. Stamp is called Best Friends and I coloured it with Promarkers/Flexmarkers, used Forever Friend papers and a few embellishments. Decorated inside to match.

As You Like It Challenge

Hello everyone, here to showcase my DT card for

 As You Like It

 and this fortnight it's

 Show us your

 Favourite Style and WHY

We are sponsored by 

Shape EX Templates

My favourite style, have a few but I do love playing with pretty papers, right down to the making of the flowers. The papers are Docrafts Papermania Parisiene Blue. So much my style, loving them so much, dare i say! Three paper pads so far lol!!. The flower die is a Cheery Lyn, curved the petals in and out and added pearl buttons to center. The Flourish is a Impressions Ovsessions heart flourish, the heart is hidden in this case. Love dies that are versatile, can think of many ways to use this on cards to come. 

Love cute images and this one just perfect for my vintage style I think. Coloured in my favourite colours using my favourite pens Promarkers. Inked the background with TH Antique Linen and stippled with Old Paper.

And the finished article. Really pleased with the end result. Not to over the top, can still see lots of those yummy papers, hate hiding them!

Best Friends Too Cute!

My second card done and dusted for the little boss in my life lol! Now Mum said make a card with light Pinks so had a few paper selections for Naomi to choose from but she was having none of it. Danni loves Red she said, Mum didn't think so.......I think Naomi likes Red! Now I don't have many papers in Red but this was a freebie out of a magazine, Naomi liked them, the one with the hearts she said, how could I say no, wasn't very sure about them so added a touch of blue. Good decision I think, hope she thinks so too....a bit late now if she doesn't agree lol!

Fashionista Challenge

Hello everyone, a new challenge starting over on Fashionista and this month's theme is Pretty in Pink.

Our sponsors this month are

and

two fab sponsors, hope you will come on over and play along with us. 

This is Whimsy, generously donated by Krista, have coloured her with Pro/Flexmarkers. Now i usually choose my papers then colour my image. Not this time and what a pickle finding the right pink to use so ended up being a bit of a mix and match lot. The grey lacey background I made using stamp set Stampers Anonymous - Material Art, so pretty. White lace, Marianne flowers and Hobby house pearl brads.

Still haven't caught up with my blogging  sorry if I haven't got to you yet. My Mum's in hospital and between visiting and being whacked out I'm not doing much blogging. Hopefully things will be a bit quieter this week and have some time to craft.
