Outlawz Colour Challenge CC0607

This was a fun card.  I had seen this ribbon at Michaels, but did not know how I would use it!  Then this challenge came, and I ran out to buy it.  The watermelons are from some old papers in my stash.  I did not have any punches that would work, and then I remembered this tiny bear punch.  So I used this and now it is the Teddy Bears Picnic.

Hope you like it.

Love

Have had fun with my Cricut again

My aunt in South Africa lost her husband this weekend after being really ill for about 2 years.  My mother, who lives with us (in Canada) has asked me to make some pretty cards, so that she can send one every week, for a few months, to my aunt.  This is one of them that I did this week.

The frame is from the BLOOM Lite Cart
The flowers with buttons are from WALK IN MY GARDEN as is the hyacinth.  The papers are from my stash.  I used Stampin-Up inks to colour the flowers and the leaves.

Hope you like my card and would love to hear from you.

Greeting card challenge GC053011

Hi everybody, I have been so busy with dance these last two weeks, that I have done no blogging and nothing else either.  We are finally done, so now it is back to the fun stuff.  This is my card for the Outlawz challenge, anything goes.  I have used my cricut and then distressed it.  Love doing these. 

CAS Challenge no CAS0522

The challenge this week was to do a one layer card.  This one could not be more simple.  Stippled the card with silver and then stamped the bird and the greeting an embossed them with gold.  Added the flowers and it was done!

A childrens card I made using my Cricut.

GC101 - Cowboy and Cowgirl Challenge

Had no real cowboy images so I had to improvise.  Stamped the little girl using a stamp from Little Paper Shop.  Painted with watercolour pencils.  I had these stickers which I decided to use to dress her.  Used chalks to do the background and pricked a border to finish it off

Gingersnaps Challenge GC99 - Fans

Paper with Japanese symbols I printed from Graphic Fairy.  The fan I got from Michaels and the Japanese lady from a calendar I received as a gift in 2002

CAS Sunday Challenges

This is my entry.  I used the kraft and the flower in one.  The flower is stamped and punched with Stampin Up.  The pearls are also from Stampin Up.

Altered art, my first attempt

My inspiration came from Carrie on Crafting who did a mannequin and then I saw an article in Somerset Studio done by Karen Valentine that I just loved.  So I started by covering the mannequin with tiny squares of two different papers and then distressing with Walnut stain.  Then I used this wire mesh to make a skirt and hat.  The frame is actually 2 canvasses with the one cutout.  Family pictures from Retro Cafe Art Gallery.  Frames are from Artchix which I also distressed with Walnut Stain and Rusty Hinge.  Bird and cat are from Artchix.  The cat I embossed with black powder and then I embossed a gold collar and attached a charm.  The key I embossed with gold embossing powder and then used Alcohol Ink - Haselnut to make it look older. 
Hope you like my effort and I am going to enter this in a challenge on Simon says Stamp, Everything goes.

This cat is an image from Artchix which I embossed with black embossing powder and then embossed the collar and attach a small moon to it
