Gone Fishing!

Good Evening, late on parade today.  Had to go into town to do the food shopping, a 50 mile trip, so not managed to make any cards today.  But, I have fallen lucky because I have a card in my folder that I made a couple of weeks back for a customer, which hasn't made it to my blog. This card will be perfect for the challenge set by Rainbow Lady this week - Your Song Choice, make a card that fits the title of a song.  The image is from the Thomas Kincade CD from Joanna Sheen. The bps are Funky Fairys, the sentiment is computer generated and I have embellished with Card Candy.

I hope you like my card, many thanks for visiting.

Jack's Card

Good Evening, my card to share today is for Sweet Sketch Wednesday, the backing papers are from Cuddly Buddly, Funky Fairys and CraftyAnn,  the cardstock is Papermania, the sentiment computer generated and the big brad came from my stash.  The image is Ron Weasley and is from a set of Harry Potter digi images by Pixie Dust Studios who have today launched a new collection called The British Invasion. My image was  coloured with a combination of Promarkers and Copics.  I will be using one of the other stamps from this set for Jack's twin brother Lewis.  They are going to be 10 this year and I am not sure whether I should put the number on their cards, as a lot of kids these days tend to think they are too grown up for certain things.

I am also entering my card into  Rainbow Lady's Challenge - A Night at the Movies and Digital Tuesday Challenge - One for the Kids

New Home Card

Good Afternoon fellow bloggers.  My daughter asked me to make a card for a friend who is moving home, and this is the result.  I used four stamps to create the scene, the house, tree and birds are all Clarity Stamps and the roadway is Stampscapes.  The house was coloured with Copics and the landscape with Distress Inks. The backing papers are from Funky Fairys, the central strip is Coredinations, dark green in colour, and the matting has been done using silver mirror board from my stash.  The sentiment is computer generated and I have embellished with a key ring with keys.

My card is a last minute entry into the Sketch challenge at Papertake Weekly.
Thank you for stopping by today.

Oh Christmas Tree

My second card today is for Rainbow Lady's Challenge this week which is Trees.  I decided to do this Christmas Tree  mainly because I found it in one of my many boxes already stamped and embossed, it is an Elusive Images stamp.   I matted it onto siver mirror card, used my inverted circle corner punch and added some pearls.  The bp is from Funky Fairys, the ribbon and other cs came from my box of bits.  I finished off with a simple peel off Happy Christmas. 

Thank you for stopping by and for any comments you may wish to leave, they mean so much to me.  Beryl x

Capt Pugwash

For my card today I followed a sketch challenge that I discovered while visiting my friend Irene's Blog, if you haven't vistited Irene please do as she has some wonderful cards on her blog.

The Challenge is Sweet Sketch Wednesday Sketch 32. The image is from a Woodware Clear Stamp Collection. I coloured with my Promarkers today for a change and cut it out with nesties, the bp is Funky Fairys Gorgeous Gingham, the no6 is from a Cuttlebug Alphabet, the name is computer generated and stuck onto a nestie ribbon slider. Everything else is from my stash.

Thank you for visiting my blog and for leaving me such wonderful comments. I appreciate every one and it's your continued support that has got me back into blogging properly again.

Roses

Today's card is for two challenges again. I have followed Sketch26 over at Sketch and Stash and this is a birthday card which is what the DT from The Pink Elephant have asked for. The image is another of Joanna Sheen's Wildflowers - the roses and once again watercoloured with my Lyras. The bp is from Funky Fairys, it doesn't show up very well but it is in shades of green. When it came to the flower needed for the sketch I was having real problems in finding a flower to match. I then remembered that my youngest daughter gave me a box filled with crafting goodies for my Christmas pressie, and this rose came from there. Apparently, while Joanna was picking up some brads and ribbons and stuff my SIL wandered around and picked up some packs of embellies - the guy did good as this flower is perfect for the card both in colour and type. The greeting was computer generated and everything else came from my stash.

Thank you so much for visiting and for all the lovely comments you have been leaving me.

Santa's on his way

Hi, my card is for two challenges. I have followed Sketch 24 over at Sketch and Stash, the old is the embellies on the side, they were brads from a selection box I got last year, and the strings of gold pearls are the new. The other challenge is The Pink Elephant which is 'Colour me Wonderful' translated as anything coloured with your favourite medium. My image is from the Daisy and Dandelion Christmas Selection and I have coloured using my Copics just got these a couple of months ago and am loving them. I did make Santa's sack a bit too dark, so scibbled randomly over it with the blending pen to try and give it a used look, not sure if it shows up very well though. Finished it off with a peel off greeting.

The backing paper is Funky Fairys, everything else came from my craft box. Many thanks for visiting my wee space on the web, especially as I am not posting as often as I should.

All that glitters

Good Afternoon, I have managed to get one card to fill three challenges again. Papertake Weekly - Digi Sparkle; Cute Card Thursay - Glitter Me Silly and finally I have followed the sketch for DU2DS.

The image is a download from Charmed Cards & Crafts and I have cheated by using a ready coloured one. However, I am dead pleased with myself as, after playing around for a few days, I have discovered how to cut out an image with my Craft Robo. My cutting is dreadful. Think I should have used a narrower border, but I'll know for next time. I have mounted the image onto silver glitter paper and added some Stickles on the dress and cape. The bp is from Funky Fairys, everything else, card squares, glittery flowers and gems are all from my stash.

Thank you so much for dropping by and for leaving such wonderful comments. Beryl x

Just Made It

I returned home from a trip to visit family a week ago today, and this is the first card I have managed to make. It is for three challenges, Sketch Saturday, Rainbow Lady and Crafty Ann's Challenge Blog.

First of all I have just made Rainbow Lady's challenge by the skin of my teeth as it ends tonight, her challenge being for an Anniversary Card. Crafty Ann is hosting a brand new challenge and her challenge is for a celebration card. Do take a look at Crafty Anns Website she is selling some fabulous digi stamps and papers, also pop by her challenge blog too, her own card for this challenge is great and so the the cards of her design team, and finally I have followed Sketch76 for Sketch Saturday. Again apologies for the pic, I tried to use the camera and I got too much shine from the glitter card so used my phone, which doesn't work very well.

The image is from Crafter's Companion Everyday CD, the bp is Funky Fairys. The glitter card, black card, silver card, hearts and ribbon all came from my stash and the sentiment is computer generated.

Thank you for visiting and if you wish to leave a comment please do, I really appreciate every one.

A card for my Mum

My card today is for my daughter to give to my Mum for her 85th birthday next month. As Mum suffers from AMD and Glaucoma I have made the card tactile for her by using feathers and a tassel!, still she is rather special. The backing papers are from Funky Fairys, and the fan is from Joanna Sheen's Fashion Boutique CD. I printed off the two small sizes and then layered them on top of each other with foam pads before adding a pearl brad and the tassel.

When I started out with my card I tried to make the fan out of patterned paper from Funky Fairys so that I could enter their challenge of 'No Image', but this idea didn't work and so I resorted to the CD. My card does fit the challenge over at Creative Inspirations, however, which is 'Family' this week.

Thank you for dropping by and please leave a comment, so that I know that you have visited. Every comment I receive really makes my day. Beryl x

3 into 1 does go

Hello, my card today is hopefully going to fill three challenges. I have followed Sketch21 from Sketch and Stash, used the colours required for Dare U 2 Digi Stamp - Orange, Yellow, Black or White (I've used both) and finally the challenge over at Ooh-la-la-Creations is to use three shapes on your card. I have used rectangles, circles on the bp and a diamond border punch. The bp is from Funky Fairys and Artylicious, the image is from Charmed Cards and has been coloured with Copics, the gems, flower and mirror card all come from my stash.

Thank you for dropping by and for the wonderful comments you leave, I appreciate every one.

It's been a while again

Well, it's been a while again but here we go with a card today for the Tanda Teaser this week, which is Just for Men. The image on my card comes from Joanna Sheen's Victorian Companion, there are some great images for men's cards on this CD and it has helped me out quite a lot. The backing paper is Funky Fairys, the offset card is Cordination, the silver mirror and brads come from my stash and the sentiment is computer generated. Sorry the pic is a bit off, but I had to take it from above because of the silver mirror board. I hope you like my card and thank you for visiting and for any comments you may wish to leave. Beryl x

Card for a Fisherman

Hi, today's card is one I was asked to make for a fisherman. The images are from a See Dee's set that I have had for ages, coloured in with Promarkers. The bp is Funky Fairys - I love their downloads they are just great and you never run out of your favourite. I hope you like my card and as always many thanks for dropping by and for any comments you may wish to make. Beryl x

A Double First

Unfortunately it's not a 'double first degree', bit too old for that now lol. My card is for Friday Sketchers No.68. The image is Joanna Sheen's Dr.Lofty and it is the first time I have used any of these stamps. I bought the complete set when they were first launched a couple of months back. I have coloured in with Derwent Coloursoft Pencils blended with Sansodor, this is my other first. I have had a few practise runs but most of those have ended up in the bin! The pills and prescription are part of the Doctor Lofty sheet. The papers are Funky Fairy and the contrasting card and gold mirror came from my stash. The text is computer generated. The card is for my uncle who is in hospital after being stung by a bumble bee a couple of weeks back, and appears to be having a delayed allergic reaction. So I thought Doctor Lofty would cheer him up. Thank you so much for visiting my blog and for the lovely comments you leave. They really make my day. Beryl

Floral Fantasy

My card for today fills the challenge set by Tanda Teaser this week, which is Floral Fantasy. When I saw the topic I looked out my Joanna Sheen CD of the same name. I decided to go with this image of butterflies (yet again!) and daisies and it's co-ordinated bp. I matted the bp onto a piece of card which I had printed using a Funky Fairys download. I Cuttlebugged a piece of this card and added some ribbon and adhesive gems from my stash and used this to offset the main image. Thank you for visiting my blog and also for leaving me such wonderful comments. They really make my day. Beryl x

Blue and Green should ne'er be seen

Hello, my card today is for the challenge over at Cute Daisy May which is Blue and Green, once upon a time it was said that these two colours "should ne'er be seen without a colour in between" I have always loved the combination. I have used one of the CDM digi Stamps and coloured with Promarkers. I have used offcuts of Lapiz Stardream to mount the image and the papers are from Funky Fairys. Everything is mounted onto silver mirror board. The ribbon came from my stash and I finished off by adding a Flora Doodle. Many thanks for continuing to support my blog, it means a lot to me as do all of the comments you leave. Beryl x

I have just realised that my cards fits the bill over at Dare U 2 Digi Stamp, where the colour combo is Blue, Green and White or Cream. This my first entry for this challenge. B x
