Stuff

WIP - can't share the image hiding under the pens cos it's for a card for a friend, The pile of card there is what I use as mats & layers. Oh the envelope template is from Doobadoo, it's great for creating shape on front of a card too (see previous post).

Shelves with another Smash Book added. Silver fashion one!

So that's me. Will pop by yours at some point I hope!

Shape, wings & greys

It's Digi Choosday time - and there's a new challenge launching right now!

Head over to see the rules, challenge and fabulous DT inspiration.

 I tried something new this week for our wing challenge, I used the fab Envelope template from Dutch Doobadoo to create a shape on the front of my embossed card which I covered with papers. I coloured the gorgeous Angel character from Emma Canning using my Graph It's - I used Cool Greys for the dot background and then I used Green Greys on the main image, just shows how versatile they are cos I think they look pretty! I added hearts from Doobadoo, gems, washi tape, flowers and ribbon from my stash.

Who would've thought greys could look so pretty?!

I also added the superb Graph It white pen and silver shake pens to this image. Am really pleased with the softness of this.

I'm entering this into the following challenges - 

Addicted to Stamps - things with wings

Crafty Calendar challenge - Things with wings

Hope you join in!

No. 1 Pet

It's Tuesday so that means there is a new challenge over at Digi Choosday. Why not pop over to join in, check out the discount code and see the DT inspiration.

This challenge was perfect for me to finally get round to making the box I wanted to make to store some of Baxter's grooming things. I coloured the gorgeous Emma Canning 'Doggy in Bath' image with my Graph It markers. I took an old biscuit box and covered it with papers from my stash. Then I matted & layered the image and placed it on the front before adding 'No 1 PET' letters and adding Baxter's name.

Such a simple idea and recycling too so it's all good! Now I'll keep those tubes and bottles tidy and it'll stop me having to rummage around in the cupboard.

Finding the new Black!

Morning!

It's time to share my latest Graph It  DT make - pop over to the blog to see the rest of the inspiration and find out about the challenge and join in!!

Don't forget we have a fabulous group on Facebook where we hang out, share our makes and the DT will happily answer any questions you may have.

So greys - people often forget how useful these are. I use them all the time.

I love the different greys you can get in the Graph It range, Green grey is fabulous for shading, backgrounds and, for me, it shouted school uniform!! So I coloured up this Some Odd Girl digi. I used the green greys to colour her skirt, bag, hair band and eyes. I also used them to create the soft dotted background. Combined with warm bold colours the green greys can become the new black!!

I found the coordinating card, flowers and I coloured some white Candi to go in the flowers. I added Glossy Accents to her glasses too.

The Graph It's I used are -

Green Greys = 9201, 9203, 9205 & 9209

Skin = 4120, 4125, 4115, 4155, 3210, 4145, 4135 & 9503 (dark shadows)

Hair = 4170, 4175, 5215, 5220 & 6160

Here's some different angles - 

Look forward to seeing your creations.

I'm entering this into the following challenge - 

4 Krafty Girlz - Anything goes.

WOYWW 254

Morn....(quick check)....ing! Phew just sneaked into the morning category!

So desk dashing day, where we all head to Julia's Desk - WOYWW) to join in, start off, nose, dash or whatever takes your fancy.

I'm back this week, went MIA last week, but thought I'd better show up. My desk is the same but no colouring WIP this time. Oh no. Something much more important is being worked on.

So right side - Ebosser is forward, ready for action, there's 2 types of glue ready to be used.

Window side - yep the sun is too bright/strong to put the blind up just yet. You can see plates for the Ebosser with an embossing folder plus metal ruler and a small pile of perfectly cut and embossed card.

I'm making wedding invites!

No, no I haven't forgotten to tell you lot anything....not for me.....but for 2 people very close to me. My brother and SIL to be Jennifer. They asked me to design and make their invites for their November wedding. So I designed. I made samples. We tweaked and then we decided. I'm doing the 'technical' stuff. Cutting. Embossing. Stamping. All of that. Then Jen is going to help do the 'pretty' bits. The pearl adding, the final sticking of pre-stamped plaque to go on the front. Tying of ribbon etc. You get the idea. So I'm working on them as much as possible cos it won't be long before they need them! 

So that's me. Coffee is at hand and I shall pop round soon. May be over a few days. But I'll see you!

Pirate Paper Pieces.

It's Digi Choosday time, and there's a new challenge going on over there so I'd love for you to pop over to join in and to see our DT inspiration. The team work really hard each week trying to use lots of different digi's to inspire you all!

This week's theme was a challenge for me, but I knew I needed to make a male birthday card (for a Rovers fan so Pirate's are perfect!) for this week so I chose the fabulous papers & Pirate images from Bonbon Belles collection. I took all of the elements into CraftArtist to create my main design - layering the elements until happy to print. I then coloured the Pirate digi with my Graph It markers. I then took pieces of the coordinating paper to 'paper piece' the shells and the cuff of his coat. So easy but it does make such a different look I think!

I think this Pirate looks quite dapper!

Sparkles!!

Hello, it's Monday and I'm here to share my Crafty Boots DT make for our 'Sparkle' challenge. So if it sparkles, glints, gleams or shines then join us and well.....Sparkle!!

I chose to colour a Some Odd Girl fairy cos, for me, fairies always have a sparkle to them - I decided to put her into a frame to enjoy for a while.

I think she looks beautiful in the frame but you can't see the sparkle (added with Graph It shake glitter pens) so here are some close ups from before -

She has sparkly wings, skirt and in her hair!

Hope you can sparkle with us!

Take care Zo xx
