Crazy cool dude

This week's challenge at Catch the Bug is all about the kids

Here's the card I made featuring Lil Dude- isn't he a cutie?

I've coloured with Copic Markers, fussy cut and popped him onto card using foam pads - all the papers from 'So Rad' (Simple Stories) 6 inch pad, 2 star brads added. 

Short and sweet today :)

Thanks for looking

Miss You Bunny

 Good morning- well we've reached the end of a very cold week here- it's been snowing on and off for most of it- luckily not too heavily though so I'm hoping it will disappear quickly when the temperature rises a bit. I'm hoping it's gone by Sunday as I'm planning to meet my daughter for a walk - I haven't seen her for weeks,  so it will be lovely to see her beautiful face!  I've collected a bagful of treats for my granddaughters (haven't seen them either) and this card is for them. Ruby is crazy about rabbits so I know she'll love it, as for my lovely laid-back Liv she'll enjoy the treats!!

We have a new challenge starting today over at Crafty Catz, the theme is 'add some metal' picked by Jac,  our sponsor is Digi Doodle Studios

I used a sweet sponsor image Bunnie Dew, which I've coloured with Copic Markers. I've layered it onto various scraps of DP from the ever- growing scrap box, added some die cut flowers, a bow and a little rabbit charm for my metal element.

My lovely teamies have created some beautiful cards this week using sweet sponsor images so please do check out the CHallenge Blog, remember the theme is optional if you wish to play along.

Thanks for visiting

Enjoy the weekend

Stay safe, healthy...and warm.

New Release day at Catch the Bug

 Good morning, still plenty of snow here- I'm hibernating until it's gone.

  I made this card for my two younger granddaughters a couple of weeks ago- 6 year old Emily is dog- crazy so I knew she would love this cute Bugaboo Puppy.  I coloured him with copics, cut him out and popped him onto my circular card base. I made two little envelopes from a scrap of paper and added the tiny heart buttons . 

The girls loved the card and the voucher inside it (to buy a book each) - I'm so happy that all 4 of my granddaughters love books, the three eldest are avid readers and baby Charlotte loves to cuddle up with a picture book. Peace and quiet reigns- for a while!

Thanks for visiting and have a good day.

Anything But a Card day at Catch the Bug

 Good morning,  hope you all had a good weekend- it snowed all day yesterday, quite a rarity here in the South East. Much to my older granddaughters' disappointment there wasn't enough for sledding but I did have some lovely photos of 18 months old Charlotte's first experience of snow- she loved it! She even helped her big sister build a snowman...well more of a sort of snow mound with a carrot- but they tried!

Here are some tiny gift bags I made using 2 cute Bugaboo images, Christmas Bear and Lil Snowman, the krat bags were cheapies from the Works and a little bit wonky but didn't look too bad after I'd decorated them, the images were quick and easy to colour so they didn't take long to make either.

February Challenge at Crafty Calendar

 Good morning, our February challenge at Crafty Calendar is sponsored by 

Oddball Art

and 

Crafty Ribbons

so two chances for our entrants to win a lovely prize this month.

Our theme is

  Dies and/or punches PLUS Ribbon and/or twine.

I made a card featuring the sweet Spring Bunny on a swing, the image is coloured with copics, I stencilled a cloudy background, then placed the image behind the aperture die cut into the DP. I threaded ribbon through the holes in the border die cut , stamped the sentiment, then placed the whole lot inside the die cut, stitched frame. 

We'd love to have you play along with our challenge this month- please remember to use both parts of the theme!

Thanks for visiting,

enjoy your weekend

keep safe!

Crafty Catz #537- the optional twist is 'Love'

 Good morning,  another week has sped past and it's time for a new challenge at Crafty Catz, this week Ginny has picked the theme of  Love- anniversaries, weddings, valentine etc and our sponsor for this is

All Dressed Up

I made an anniversary card for my crazy giraffe-loving sister using a sweet sponsor image, A kiss for Valentines. Image is coloured with Copic markers, papers from stash (some very old!) some die cut hearts and a ribbon. It's ages yet until her anniversary, not until the middle of summer, but this image is so perfect or her I decided to make it now- and I won't have that (usual) last minute panic when I realise that her anniversary is the next day and I haven't done anything about a card! 

As always the theme is just an option at Crafty Catz Challenges so there's really no excuse not to play along :) please hop over to view the beautiful cards my teamies have created and to link your own fabulous projects!

Thanks for stopping by

Dang it!

 Good morning, this week's challenge theme at Fab'n' Funky is everyone's favourite- Anything Goes- chosen by our lovely N'eva..I was feeling a bit bored and fed up the other day so I cheered myself up by making a fun card with a new stamp set (Whimsy) that I treated myself to, I couldn't resist these wonky donkeys, thir silly faces make me smile! Have no idea who I'll send it to- probably whichever brother annoys me the most!

Hope you find the time to play along this week.
