Mmm...Cupcake

 Good morning, here's my DT make for this fortnight's challenge at Fab'n' Funky,

 the theme chosen by Buffy is

 LET THEM EAT CAKE.

 I used a fabulous Digi from  Sheepski Designs, coloured with Copic Markers. The rest of the design speaks for itself.

Apologies for the brevity of this post. I have a problem with my hip and leg and struggled to sit at my computer. Don't be surprised if I'm missing for a few days as I'm struggling a bit. Have Physio and Acupuncture booked- hope they work better than the painkillers.

Thanks for stopping by

Chris

Drunken Chicken!

Hello, it's a bit of a dull damp day here so a good time to play> I made a tag to join in with this months Tag Along Challenge- Things with Wings. I used a layered tag die from Studio Light, cut two layers from white card and the middle layer from a scrap of black. Inked both white layers with Della Blue Elements Ink ( love this colour!) and added some stencilling to the top layer. I stamped the sentiment and the chicken (Paper Artsy), stamped chicken again on white card, coloured with markers to paper-piece his body and hat, finished it with a ribbon- it was black and white stripes so I coloured it yellow with a marker.

I'm keeping this for my Son-in- Laws birthday- after a couple of drinks he does his break dance routine... much to the mortification of my granddaughters- and the great delight of their friends!!

 Hello, just back from holiday  and I'm a little late with this post. This is my DT make for this fortnight's challenge at Sweet Stampin' which started yesterday- so still loads of time to join in ! The theme for this challenge is USE A DIE CUT, so easy peasy- just remember to include a stamped element as well. My stamped image is a little Wee Stamps cute, coloured with copic markers, the tiny snowflakes on the dark blue background paper and the sentiment are stamped and embossed in white. Background papers from The Works and a die cut tree. As always, plenty more inspiration from the rest of the team to be enjoyed over at Sweet Stampin'. 

Holiday was good- we had 3 days in Somerset, visited Wells, which was lovely- beautiful weather, good accommodation, there was a large garden as well as 3 fields adjacent to the cottage, belonging to the owner- Marvin thought it was heaven! We moved on to Devon- I know why it's sooo green there now- if I say I have never seen so many rainbows in one week you'll get the picture! Blue skies and bright sunshine one minute- chucking it down in buckets the next!!! We did have a nice time though and Marvin managed to get some beach time so all good. 

Thank for the comments you were kind enough to leave on my scheduled posts while I was away- much appreciated and I'll be over to visit your blogs asap- better catch up with the laundry and do some food shopping first though!

Thanks for visiting

Fab'n' Funky Challenges are back.

Good morning, Fab'n' Funky Challenges are back after the summer break.

This fortnight's challenge is hosted by Ginny- the theme is CUTE AS A BUTTON-, so something cute, use a button(s) or both! 

I've been itching to colour up this adorable Mo Manning fairy- she just makes me smile! I used my markers and a white gel pen, added some sparkle to her wings. If you look closely you can see the 2 tiny buttons I added to her dress.  The sentiment stamp is Visible Image. I added some doodling in the corners.

There's more inspiration over at Fab'n' Funky, hope you can find the time to join us.

Thank you for visiting

 Good morning, time for our September Challenge at Stamping Sensations,  Helen chose the theme of CAS- with the option of Anything Goes (as long as there is visible stamping on the front of your project)

 There are two prizes of stamps from Grafton Crafts, a well stocked bricks and mortar and on line shop offering fee p&p on all orders over £15

I used Hickory Smoke D. O.I and some torn paper to create my snowbanks and stamped a branch several times using one of a set of clear stamps I've had for years, sadly they're minus their packaging and I can't remember the brand. I've used a white gel pen to add some snowy highlights and red one on the tiny berries. The sentiment stamp is Paper Smooches.

As always there is plenty of inspiration to be found over at the challenge blog.

Thanks for visiting

I have another Mo Manning cutie to share, this is Otto, such a sweetie! I've used my markers to colour, adding a little shading to his fur with a brown pencil. The gorgeous autumnal papers are from Honey Bee Stamps. I've added some die cut leaves (TH), a stamped sentiment and some little candy dots.

I used a sketch from Creative Sketchy Girls

We hope you can join in with our challenge this month- for more inspiration please hop over to Crafty Calendar to see the lovely creations from the rest of team.
