Scribble & Scrap Challenge #47

I hope you've all had a better week than I have. I've been knocked sideways with a nasty bug so I apologise for not being round to visit you. I'm still recovering but I am trying to catch up.
Now on to today's news which has a sad note. Today is the start of the last challenge at Scribble & Scrap. Lexie has decided that due to her work commitments she is closing the challenge blog. Thank you to all those who have supported us and entered the challenges. I hope you've enjoyed yourselves.
Please see the blog for the details and the prize that's up for grabs for the last challenge.

The theme is
"Anything Goes"
I know so many people born in the Summer months and have been very busy making cards to give to them. Fortunately I had them all finished last week. I decided to make some of them with a "beach theme" in the hope that we might actually get some "beach weather". This one was made for the lovely Marie.

I've discovered that I quite like A5 tent cards, these are portrait style cards that have the crease at the top. This means I can add layers and embellishments without them falling over.
I printed off some brown and white patterned papers and created mats for them by painting white card with Salty Ocean Distress Ink mixed with water. I scruffed all the edges before colouring.
I added a postcard I distressed with Antique Linen DI and some silk ribbon I coloured with Salty Ocean and then washed out.

This vintage photograph was a copyright free one I found on the internet a couple of years ago and it's always reminded me of my mother. She had curly hair like this as a child.

The die-cut shells and anchor were made with Marianne dies and coloured with Distress Inks. I printed the sentiments on the computer. I used the wet paintbrush to flick the watered ink over the layers and elements.
I do hope you will show your support one more time and join in with the last Scribble & Scrap challenge. Head over there now to see the inspirational makes from my talented team mates and to enter your crafty creations.

Scribble & Scrap Challenge #46

This is my second post for today. Please scroll down for my Kraftyhands challenge card.
Today is the start of Challenge #46 at Scribble & Scrap. Thank you to all those who entered our previous challenge, the winners have been announced on the blog. Please see the blog for the details and the prize that's up for grabs for this challenge.

Our theme is always
"Anything Goes"
I made a landscape card base that measures 13 cm x 20 cm for today's inspiration.

I embossed white card using an X-cut embossing folder and used a mix of blue Pan Pastels and Tumbled Glass Distress Ink to colour it. I added a length of lace and an off-cut from the embossed card across the middle.

The flowers were white roses from my stash and I used Tumbled Glass to give them a bit of colour. I made curly stems out of pipe cleaners and stamped the hand cut tag.

Scribble & Scrap Challenge #45

It's half-term week here in England and Wales and I have my two grandchildren and their mum staying. There won't be much, if any, crafting being done by me but the children do love colouring and making things - including a mess!
On to today's business which  is Challenge #45 at Scribble & Scrap. Thank you to all those who entered our previous challenge, the winners have been announced on the blog. Please see the blog for the details and the prize that's up for grabs for this challenge.

Our theme is always
"Anything Goes"
I love the new Santoro Gorjuss range by Docrafts and have been having a play with the papers and images. Here is an 8"x 8" card I've made.

The base layer is card I coloured with DI Weathered Wood. I then matted and layered two of the new Gorjuss papers, a piece of card coloured with DI Antique Linen and two more papers. I wiped black ink over a doily and added a length of lavender lace.

The image is one of the decoupage ones from the Ultimate A4 Die-cut & Paper Pack and I layered it up with foam pads. I cut an oval base from plain card and coloured it with DI Weathered Wood.

There are lots of coordinating tags, images, embellishments and sentiment panels in the Ultimate kit and I made a little montage with a few of them. I finished the card with buttons in the corners.

Scribble & Scrap Challenge #44

It's been a busy week for me, especially in Blogland. I'm not used to blogging every day and yet this is my 4th day in a row. I'd like to thank you all for your visits and lovely comments. I shall give my blog a rest for a few days but I'll be back mid-week. We have two family birthdays and I want to show you the cards I've made.
Today's business is Challenge #44 at Scribble & Scrap. Thank you to all those who entered our previous challenge, the winners have been announced on the blog. Please see the blog for the details and the prize that's up for grabs for this challenge.

Our theme is always
"Anything Goes"
While looking for something in the chaos of my craftroom I came across a couple of old Craftwork Cards kits I'd forgotten about. I decided to have a play and made a few cards. This is one of them.

I started with a 6"x 6" scalloped card blank and inked the edges with Spun Sugar Distress Ink. I added text embossed card that I lightly inked with Antique Linen DI. I used a Docrafts scalloped circle die to cut one of the papers from the Correspondence kit by Craftwork Cards. The postcard is also from the kit and I stamped some text onto it with a LaBlanche stamp.

I used Heartfelt Creations Majestic Morning coordinating stamp and die sets to create the flowers and a Docrafts die for the butterfly.

I finished the card with a sentiment from the kit and an organza double bow.
Now head on over to the Scribble & Scrap blog to see the inspirational makes from my talented team mates and to enter your crafty creations.
I have updated my Docrafts gallery with my new samples. Just click on the link in the sidebar to see them.

Our theme is always
"Anything Goes"
This is my inspiration for you.

I covered a 7"x 7" card blank with Kraft card and layered with a peach coloured paper. I created the other layers with polka dot papers and Kraft card, scruffing the edges with scissors. I added blue satin ribbon around one layer before fixing them to the card front.

The stamped image is "Theodora and the Butterflies" by Lizzy Love (Oddball Art) for Whimsy Stamps. The butterflies and sentiment are part of the set. I coloured the image with Copics and used blue Pan Pastels for the background.

I coloured plain white card with blue Pan Pastels and used a Docrafts butterfly and a Memory Box floral wreath to die cut the embellishments.

I finished the card with a bow, a ribbon tag and some blue half pearls.
Now head on over to the Scribble & Scrap blog to see the inspiration from my talented team mates and to enter your crafty makes.

Scribble & Scrap Challenge #40

Happy Mothering  Sunday ladies and
welcome to Challenge #40 at Scribble & Scrap. There is a fabulous new prize for this challenge, please see the blog for the details. 

There is a change to the DT projects for the Scribble & Scrap challenges now that the shop has closed due to owner Lexie having a new and time-consuming job. That means that, just like the entrants to the challenge, we can use whatever we want to make our "Anything Goes" projects.

Today I have a card using a digi stamp that I won in another challenge.

I matted a Prima paper onto card I coloured with Pan Pastels. I die cut a scalloped circle and embossed it with the Docrafts Lace Circle embossing folder to create a doily. I cut this in half and placed it behind the image. I added some large Ric-Rac and velvet ribbon, also from Docrafts.

The image is Lazy Louise and Bathtime Bubble Friends from Oddball Art. I coloured it with Copics and Promarkers and added some pearls to her hair. I think Lizzy looks frazzled and fully deserving of her bubble bath.

I finished the card with a triple bow, a large button and some Frantage.
Now head on over to the Scribble & Scrap blog where you will notice that we have some very talented new DT members joining us this week. It's exciting to be working alongside such fabulous crafters and I'm delighted to welcome them all.

Scribble & Scrap Challenge #34 Reminder

I hope you have all had a lovely Christmas and that Santa was kind. All that rushing around, planning, cooking, wrapping and preparing and it seemed like it was all over in a matter of hours. But it was worth it to be able to spend some quality time with loved ones.

Despite the festive season being in full flow, normal life still goes on, so, here is my reminder for challenge #34 at Scribble & Scrap. The current challenge runs until 6pm (GMT) on Saturday. A full list of all the rules is on the blog. The theme for Scribble & Scrap is always "Anything Goes"

My DT card features a stamp available in the Scribble & Scrap shop.

I started with an A5 card blank that I layered with gold mirri card. I used a Spellbinders die to cut two corners in a piece of red card and wrapped a gold and a green ribbon around it before fixing onto the card.

The gorgeous image is the Sweet Pea Stamps Norma J Burnell's Firefly. I coloured it in traditional Chrismassy colours with my Polychromos and matted and layered it onto green card and then gold mirri card. The sentiment was made using a Britannia die set.
The Scribble & Scrap shop is open 24 hours a day, every day,  for your crafty needs so don't forget to go and have a look round.  I hope you can find the time to visit the Scribble & Scrap blog to enter your crafty creations at this busy time.
 If you have any Sweet Pea Stamps you can share those projects on Facebook in the dedicated Sweet Pea Friends and Fans group.

Now I'm off to get ready to celebrate my wonderful husband's birthday and then New Year's Eve with friends. 
Happy New Year everyone, I hope 2015 is very kind to you all.

Scribble & Scrap Challenge #34

Welcome to Challenge #34 at Scribble & Scrap. Thank you to all who joined in with challenge #33, the winners have been announced on the blog.

The theme for Scribble & Scrap is always "Anything Goes" and there is a full list of all the rules on the blog.

My DT card features a lovely rubber stamp available in the Scribble & Scrap shop.
A couple of weeks ago I showed you a card with this image coloured in pale blue but this time I've used it to make a Christmas card.

I layered up squares of green and red card on a card blank and then cut a lacy square using a Spellbinders die.

This beautiful image is Sweet Pea Stamps Conie Fong's Angel of Christmas Stars. This time I used Polychromos in traditional Christmas colours. I die-cut the image with an X-cut die, inked the edges and added red faux pearls.

I finished the card with a die-cut holly, a tissue paper poinsettia and a Docrafts sentiment.

Scribble & Scrap Challenge #33 Reminder

I hope you are all better prepared for Christmas than I am. It's been a hectic week for me. I've been away visiting family, friends and Bath Christmas Market. I still have a few presents to buy and all of them to wrap. I think I'm fighting a losing battle trying to get everything ready in time for the big day. I did however take some time out to do some colouring....

Here is my reminder for challenge #33 at Scribble & Scrap. The current challenge runs until 6pm (GMT) on Saturday. A full list of all the rules is on the blog. The theme for Scribble & Scrap is always "Anything Goes"

My DT card features a stamp available in the Scribble & Scrap shop.

I started by colouring my 6"x 6" card base with Yummy Yellow Inkadinks and layering a First Edition New Bloom paper.

The image is the Sweet Pea Stamp Norma J Burnell's Fairy Tangles Will-O and the Wisps. I used my Polychromos on watercolour paper. The matting layer is the same as the base card.

I embellished the card with a mix of flowers from the shop including Curiosity Corner Paper Blossoms, Scribble & Scrap Flowers and Things and Hobby House Boutique Paper Flowers - Daisies. The bow is made from the Sue Wilson Finishing Touches Dotty Bow die. I finished by adding faux pearls to the flowers and bow.
