A Lovely freebie Image competition time

There is a brilliant competition going on at the moment over at Digital Doodling it involves of a beautiful freebie image called Cupcake Tilly check it out HERE and whilst your there remember to have a browse at the other wonderful digital downloads they are so pretty!  (Mandy has just informed me that Wendy isn't selling them just yet fingers crossed she will be in the near future)

Any way this is my entry for the competition, I had a hard time at first deciding what kind of card I would make and what colours to use.  I had this freebie paper in the drawer and it just seemed to work so that is what I have used. Ribbon is from my stash as are the buttons to keep with my theme of Hearts to match the ones on the cupcake.  I have used pro markers to colour and everything else you see is from my stash.

I think this little challenge was just what I needed to get my mojo working again!  Thanks wendy for the gorgeous freebie!

If you want to enter this comp you only have until friday to do it so get your skates on!!!

Christmas snow man

Here is a christmas card I made using a freebie image from some where, if you know who it is please shout so I can pop thier name up.  I have used pro markers to colour ribbon from my stash and the sentiment has just been typed up on the computer and added. 

I think the papers are dovecraft.  I just think this little snow man is perfect he is very cute and so easy to use, it took me a while to find a snow man I actually liked.

Some thing Different

Card making is becoming a tad frustrating so I thought I would give Fimo ago this week, I thinks its good to have a go at other things at times, soooo I made some little guinea pigs hehehe they are called the mini wheekers and for my first atempt at guineas I think they are rather cute although hubby says they look like poop, Charming!!!  I am rather proud of my carrots they came out really well :)

They have newspaper, then fleece, hay & veggies spare fleece and veggies.

The last family are off to a new home tomorrow whoop whoop, or should that be wheek wheek lol  Will be back later in the week to show off some other makes if I get around to it.

I'm Back!

Wow it has been a long time since my last post.  But I have had a lovely rest away from crafting this past few weeks and I have also had a wee break away to Edinburgh which was fab.  I am now back and feel more positvie about crafting and will hopefully fit some challenges in at some point this week or next.  Its half term here this week so its a bit hectic and my darling little girl has a tendancy to want to join in on the creating, unfortuently I dont want to put feathers and glitter on everything I make lol I think she is a budding card maker in the making she loves crafting and also making jewellery from her beads and anything else she can find!

Right off now but I will be back soon with some thing to show you all!  I have been visiting your blogs and I will be visiting again soon to leave comments on your wonderful work!

Bye for now!

Sorry

I know I haven't been here since September but things have got a little too much and with that my old mojo seems to have packed up, I just sit at my craft desk and weep...... well no not really I just sit there and move stuff around and tidy things, I just dont seem to be able to get any ideas onto card!
I have a lot going on with my eldest son at the moment and when I am not going to meetings with various professionals or teachers I am usually thinking about all of it.  So crafting isn't my highest priority at the moment, but I am trying!

I have been visiting your blogs and will carry on doing so, hopefully this week I will have some thing to show you all, I have been looking at all the challenges I want to take part in but I just lack the creativity, no matter how hard I try.

Any how thanks for popping by and I will catch you with you on your blogs and on the forums!

A Bit Poorly

Sorry no posts this week as I have been a little busy and then I came down with a bug which I still have, so I am not feeling to bright at all and looking at my craft stuff actually makes me feel a bit sick lol 

Hubby has been a star and looked after house, kids and all the animals, one of whom has managed to break both his little guinea pig teeth off whilst gnawing at the cage bars tut tut so until they grow back to a sensible length he has to be hand fed!  Here is the cheeky chappy himself, but he isn't looking quite as happy at the moment!

Will be around to catch up with you all soon!

Sophisticat Challenge No.3

Well last weeks challenge was great and I really enjoyed it but when I saw this weeks challenge I was a tad excited as I found a image that I have really wanted to use but its just been staring at me from my very messy craft desk, as I have struggled to find any inspiration. 
Sooooooo...................
The challenge that has been set this week is a sketch with a small twist no stamped images, but for me that was great as I had this lovely image sat on my desk crying out to be used, here is my entry for this weeks sophisticats challenge No.3

I have used a freebie image, papers are papermania, ribbon & gem from my stash, I have used some fine glitter on the girls dresses and head dresses but the pics arent showing it up, flowers are polyfoam.  The sentiments are stamped with various stamps from my stash and I have used a corner punch too.
