1st Birthday for Crafty Calender Challenge

The monthly challenge at Crafty Calender Challenge is to celebrate their 1st birthday and the challenge is Autumn Birthdays. Pop along and join in the fun - there are some amazing prizes to be won too! Here is my entry.

Cheeky Monkey

I recently bought a set of clears stamps which are called lil Monkey and how cute are they. So here is one of the first of the images from the set which I shall be entering into two challenges and they are:

Cards for Men - Anything Goes

Moving Along With The Times - Card for a Child

A Matching Pair

At Charisma Cardz Challenge this week is - Match Master so I've chosen to enter matching note pad and a sticky note holder.

I've used Pink Petticoat paper which is so gorgeous and added a few diamonte's. Great as stocking fillers for Christmas!

Treat or Treat - It's Soon To Be Halloween

Well I completed my card tonight for a challenge which I couldn't find again and when I finally did it was closed! Aaarrgghhh but nevertheless I did still have a couple of others in mind and they are:

Peartree Designs - Halloween

Raise The Bar - Orange, Black & Purple

I've used 'Witchybella' which has been coloured with Promarkers, used the edge of my ink pad to make the cobwebs and added glossy accents to the pumpkin which looks like it has an air bubble in it but it's just the reflection of my lamp. Hope you like it. Jeanette

Christmas Card With A Difference

Over at SSDS Challenge this week is Xmas with no red or green so I chose blue and at Papertake Weekly the challenge is Sparkly and Bright.

The image has been coloured with Promarkers and added some glitz to the hat, edge of coat and the snow flakes. Hope you like it.

Christmas Stamping All Year Long Challenge

Don't you just love this PB image - it's called Xmas Troupe. As soon as I saw the photo to inspire you at CSAYL I immediately thought of this stamp. I think it's all the colours and the Christmas tree.

Hope you like it. Jeanette

Cup Cake Challenge

I bought this stamp from a lovely lady that I've got to know at the Canford Cliffs Craft Fair. It is so cute. From LOTV he fits in just right for the Cup Cake Challenge - Boys and Their Toys. I've used Promarkers to colour but not happy with the colour of the skin, too orange looking for my liking. Hope you like it. Jeanette

It's A Happy Haunting & Lots Of Challenges

I love this Penny Black image called 3 Headed Monster. I can just see Lucas my grandson doing something like this. My very own little monster! It's a simple image which I coloured very slightly with pencils and on the edges I used my ink pad the make it look like cobwebs. Isn't the paper fab, its from My Minds Eye and called 'Creepy Crawlers'. I hate spiders but they do make them look sweet and cheeky. I've used glossy accents on all the eyes. So I'm going to enter is card into several challenges that I found this week, and they are:

I'm Back!!

Hellooooo

Well yes it has been sometime since I last posted but there have been some trauma's going on and I needed to deal with those first. So at the moment I'm in a place of 'calm before the storm' so I thought I'd try and enter some of my favorite blog challenges and hopefully will not be away too long next time. So here is the first.

I'm entering this card into cow girls sunday stampen challenge which the theme is girly and pearls.

I do not know who or what the image is called as I bought it last year from ebay and this is the first time I've used it. Background paper from DCWV Rose-Tinted Christmas.

Sara's Birthday

It is my daughter-in-laws birthday next week (whose expecting my next grandchild eeekk so excited) and tried out my little cat stamp. I've used Promakers to colour and added a little bit of bling on the corners. I love the combination of pink and lemon but I did get carried away with the stamping! I'm going to enter this in the following challenges.

A Lucky Find

Did a bit of shopping in Poole on Saturday and popped into a few charity shops and found to my surprise a small basket on the shop floor with some rubber stamps in. First one I picked up was A Penny Black stamp called Music Collage in perfect condition and was only £2.00. I selected another which is a wheelbarrow with flowers in. This stamp is from America by Sonlight Craft (never heard of them), again for only £2.00. So not to miss an opportunity I decided to stamp up the Music Collage and enter it into a few challenges.

Penny Black - Purple, Cream & Brown

The Stampman - Musical

My Partner in Crafting Time - Vintage

A Card at Last!!

Finally I managed to make a card for some challenges - needed to have a break from making all those books. My card this evening is a Penny Black image called 'Beehave'. I've used this quite a lot, he so cute. I'm entering this card into the following challenges:

Concertina Books - Baby Theme

Here's a couple of baby themed concertina books. I'm often asked for books that are not for either boy or girl so here are a couple I've made this evening.

Card Embellishments

I thought I'd show you the watering can embellishments that I make. I love making these.

'Baby Word Books' - Girl

Hi - not been around much as I've been busy making some books after a successful weekend at Upton House. Tonight I've finally completed 2 baby girl books. These have taken me hours to make but I do enjoy making them. I'm not going to show all the pages but I'm sure you'll realise that they are all decorated inside with various bits n bobs.
Hope to be joining in some challenges soon. Jeanette
