Night All. It’s a late one for me as we were watching a movie. The 2nd Andrew Garfield Spiderman and as I love love love Superhero films I couldn’t possibly do any colouring or blogging at the same time (which is what I do when I’m watching some of Hubby’s more dubious film choices!!!
Anyhoo, back to the point of my post and Make It Crafty are having a design team call for the Make It Colourful team…..and for an addicted colourer like me I just had to give it a go.
I’ve merged the background image Rainbow Meadow and the main image Danni's Little Ducks to create a cute little scene. With the proportions I wanted to use the background wasn’t quite wide enough so I extended the hills and clouds out to the edges of the card when colouring.
Morning all! Wonder what the weather has in store for us today. We had both sun and rain yesterday, so it was be nice to have some more sunshine today!
I rather stupidly coloured this one without picking the DP so rather than spend ages hunting for something that *might* match I made another background. I made this one a little differently to the last one. This time I coloured lot’s of dots on a piece of blending card (using the same markers I used for the clothes) and then I dripped Isopropyl Alcohol onto them so the colours bled out into each other. I think it give and almost Tie-dye effect.
Afternoon all! It’s Saturday and that means it’s time for a new challenge at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps. A little bit sad as it’s my last post as a guest designer for for the month of August but I would like to thank Kimmie and the Girls for having me join them.
Anyhoo, back to the challenge and this week we have a fabulous theme of Fall.
I’ve used a not very fall image, Hannah Hearts, but instead used wonderful fall colours, green, orange, rust and yellow to make my card:
Go me…I didn’t really have the right card colours to match so I made my own background. I coloured a piece of blending card with the green, orange and yellow markers I used on the image and then used a pipette to drop Isopropyl Alcohol onto the card.

Morning All. I’m starting to make my Christmas cards for this year and what better way to get going than the new challenge over at A Gem of a Challenge where we have a fabulous theme of ‘Do you wanna build a snowman’.
I have used the super sweet Chilly with Robins to make another Christmas card for the stash:
Morning all. It’s time for another Fab Friday post over at the Tiddly Inks Challenge Blog but sniff sniff boo hoo it’s my last DT card as our 4 month term finishes now. I’m really quite sad as I have had a wonderful time creating with Christy’s images and the lovely team of girls I’ve got to work with. I just have to keep my fingers (and toes) crossed as I have applied again for the next term.
Just over a week ago Christy teamed up with Paper Crafters Library and to coincide with the feature released a new image called Foxer Upper including both girl and boy images. I created a card using the girl version and was lucky enough to have it shown on the Paper Crafters Library Tiddly Inks Feature.
Here is the tag shaped card that I created, also using a sentiment from the Wryn New Wings set:
Right best get back to the house work….Now the builders have gone I’m in a Spring Cleaning mode (just 6 months late lol) and I’m slowly working my way around each room top to bottom including washing all the curtains and linens.
Afternoon All. I’m enjoying a rare day with no children! They stayed at my parents last night so Hubby and I could go out and celebrate our Wedding Anniversary. It’s not all fun and games though I’m in the middle of a big clean up as the builders have finished and I’ve got to move us back into our bedroom and ensuite…….you wouldn’t believe how far the dust went.
Anyhoo back to the point of my post….the DT call at Tiddly Inks. The card I made for the call is my Hubby’s Anniversary card, so I couldn’t post it until I’d given it to him. I’ve used Wryn Have Heart but if you would like to take a look at my other Tiddly Inks makes please click here http://craftingbelle.blogspot.co.uk/search/label/Tiddly%20Inks
I was a bit brave on this one as I attempted to colour the background to look like wallpaper…I think it turned out OK!
Afternoon all! What miserable weather we are having at the moment
It’s time for wonderful Wednesday over at Kraftin’ Kimmie and as always it’s anything goes.

Anyhoo, enough waffle it’s time for a new challenge at Elisabeth Bell’s World Challenge and our theme this time around is Use at least 4 Designer Papers. I’ve used 4 different papers from the Fairy Belle Collection from Prima Marketing and started to make a patchwork background. Here is my card:
Not quite a patchwork….I decided when I was part way through to leave a small gap between the pieces to make it look more like tiles…..obviously inspired by having my ensuite redone!!
The image is the adorable Little Lamb, I would say she is my favourite but that wouldn’t be true as I love all of Elisabeth’s beautiful digis.
Afternoon all! It’s Saturday and that means it’s time for a new challenge at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps. This week we have a super theme of Buttons & Bows.
I’ve used one of the August release stamp sets A TREAT FOR SOMEONE SWEET and made this very cute and girly creation:
I love black and pink together and I haven’t used them for a while so I thought they would be perfect for this card. The background was dry embossed, inked and then heat embossed and I really love the way it turned out.

Morning All.No lie in for me today as we have the bathroom fitter here still hopefully he will be done by the end of the week and then I will have a shiny new ensuite shower and will be able to get my house and routine back on track.
Anyhoo, it’s time for Tiddly Tuesday over at the Tiddly Inks Challenge Blog and we have a new challenge for you. Our theme this time around is Have Heart and here is my card using Wryn Heartfelt Love:
Morning all. Thank goodness it’s nearly the weekend. My routine and house is all a bit upside down at the moment as we have builders in working on our en-suite bathroom. We’ve had to move out the bedroom as well because of the told and the mess so I have been hiding out in the craft room….in between making a lot of mugs of tea!!
I’m hoping today’s card will inspire the nice weather to come back…..at least I’m hoping it will as we have a BBQ planned tomorrow. This is Wryn BBQ Queen:
That’s enough waffle from me today…..I’ve got a whole bunch of Macaroons to make
Evening all! Just a quick post as I’m super tired and I have had an icky headache all day and I think it’s just about time for a warm bath and then bed.
I have got myself a bit addicted to a book and a TV programme at the moment and although I have been colouring I haven’t really had Mr Mojo’s company when trying to create an actual card….hence the CAS card!
Afternoon all! It’s time for wonderful Wednesday over at Kraftin’ Kimmie and as always it’s anything goes.
This is my card using Sophia…

Evening all. Just a quick post from me as we are supposed to be a playing game of cards this evening (we are on holiday!) but I saw that Ching-Chou Kuik is having a DT call and I wanted to throw my hat into the ring.
I have coloured lot’s and lot’s of images but I haven’t made any of them into anything as of yet and as we are away I am limited as to what images I have on the computer. So I’ll show you the photograph I have on the computer and some other card examples to show what I can make with digi stamps.
I am on FB (there is a link to my FB in my sidebar) and I am a member of the FB group already. I also share all my creations via Google+ as well, and very occasionally Instagram.
This was coloured as part of the monthly classes at Kit & Clowder:
