Photo Inspiration Challenge at Catch the Bug

This week's challenge at Catch the Bug has a beautiful photo to inspire you, here's what I made...

A simple layout to showcase the lovely image,  For You From Me Flower, I printed it twice and fussy cut the main hydrangea flower, shaped it with a ball tool and adhered over the image using Pinflair glue for dimension. I used copics to colour and inked all the distressed edges.

There's plenty more inspiration to be seen over at Catch the Bug.

Thanks for stopping by

Enjoy the weekend

Happy dance

Good morning, over at Sweet Stampin' we're celebrating the International Day of Dance (29th April-which incidentally  is my 47th Wedding Anniversary too!) so our optional theme is 'dance'.

I took the opportunity to ink up this cute stamp from Stamping Bella, thought it was time she came out of the packaging! I coloured with copics and paper- pieced her dress, for once I have the matching die so no fussy cutting today! The sentiment came with the stamp.

My teamies have created some lovely dance related cards to inspire you, so please hop over and take a look! We'd love you to play along...you don't need to follow the theme, although it would be great if you do, just please remember to include stamping!

Crafty Catz Challenge #459 - ATG with optional twist- Add a sentiment

Good morning,  this is the first of a few scheduled posts, I'll be back home in a week, until then, apologies for no visits and no comments.
This week's challenge is up and running at Crafty Catz, it's our fabulous Janette's turn to host and choose the optional theme, which is...Add a sentiment. We are sponsored by Cute as A Button

The DT were given some cute images to play with , I chose to use Social Susan and made a card for my eldest granddaughters birthday, like most young girls she's constantly messaging her friends!  I  made the LOL background with circle dies and hand cut the Ls adhered them to the black card base and cut around the second L . The image is coloured with copics, fussy cut and inserted between the letters. I printed the speech bubble elements that are part of the image in a larger size, coloured them and adhered them in place. The sentiment in the middle of the die cut stars is part of a rubber stamp set, CC Designs -Teen Scene. Olivia loved this card!

My lovely teamies have been busy creating some amazing cards this week so please hop over and take a peek, remember our challenge is anything goes , you don't have to follow the theme so there's no excuse not to play along :))

Crafty Catz #458 - Optional Theme- All creatures Great and Small

Good morning, it's time for another challenge at Crafty Catz, is it just me or do the weeks seem to be flying by faster than ever? It's Easter already, seems like it's only days since Christmas, although I'm well ready for Spring, the weather has been beautiful here for the last few days and it seems as if it's finally arrived!

Our Challenge this week is hosted by our fabulous Jac, and she's picked a great theme for us...'all creatures great and small'. Our sponsor for this challenge is Beccy's Place.

 I was lucky enough to choose an image to use for this challenge, thanks Beccy, and I chose this fun and fabulous image from The Three Tenors Digital Set. Look at these three little guys singing their hearts out for all to enjoy!!!

I coloured the image with my copics, then used a circle die to cut out. I then cut around the cats' paws so I could pop the 'moon' behind my embossed wall and have the cats stand on the top. I found a scrap of starry DP for the night sky and added some die cut musical notes. Computer generated sentiment. 

There are, as always, some wonderful cards from the rest of the DT to be enjoyed over at Crafty Catz, we'd love to see what you create too, so why not play along...remember the theme is optional, anything goes at Crafty Catz!

I wish you all a very happy Easter

A day without a cocktail....

Hi, I'm back again with my second card today...it's Humour Me Wednesday at Catch the Bug, so as April 14th was Moment of Laughter Day, I made this card featuring Scarlette, hope it makes you smile! 

I'm a bit later than intended with this post as I have all three of my granddaughters for the day, they're staying the night too...not calling it a sleepover as the youngest, Emily...not quite 5 years old, is MEGA excited to be here with her big cousins...not sure if any of us will be doing a lot of sleeping....

Have been to the park to try to wear her out a bit but her energy levels remain unabated! 

Wish me luck!

Chris
