Monotone mouse!

Good Grief! It's Thursday already, where is this half term going to?? Still Thursday means it's time for another challenge over at C.R.A.F.T.!! This weeks theme is :

MONOTONE

We are being sponsored this week by Robin's Fetish who are offering a fab prize of either 5 digis or 4 digis plus a paper to our winner. Click on the piccy below to see the fab range of digis!

I have used 'Happy Harry' and some papers from the Coney Island Summer collection to make a joy fold card. I love these, especially for male cards as they are interesting without being fussy!

I had to really hunt through my stash to find a suitable closure....note to self think about these things before starting card!! - but I think this Dress it up button is very appropriate!

The inside of the card is stamped with a sentiment from a recent purchase, the Inkadinkado Friendly advice set.

I'd also like to enter Harry into the following challenges:

Whoopsi Daisy - let's paper piece (I've paper pieced his shirt and trousers)

Cards for men - Anything goes (as long as it's male)

Creative card Crew - Punch it (used nesties)

Fab N Funky - Keeping it clean and simple

Paper Pretties - Being square

Thanks for looking !!

Spooky candle

Boo!! Morning folks, it's time for another challenge over at C.R.A.F.T.

and this time our theme is:

SPOOKY!!

My mojo was a bit adrift this week and I couldn't get very inspired about making a card, I don't really send Halloween cards, so I thought I'd try stamping on a candle instead. I bought some candles last year to make some Christmas decorations but ran out of time. Anyway I found the candles again & this is my first attempt at decorating one. I really enjoyed doing this, it made a nice change and it's great fun!! I used this fun digi called Witch Bear from Lexi's fairydust store which you can find here.

Don't forget to head on over to C.R.A.F.T. to see the other fantastic DT projects and enter your spoooooky creations to be in with a chance of winnning a fantastic £10 voucher from our sponsor (one of my favourite shops!!) :

So without further ado, here's my card:

I've had this LOTV stamp in my stash for a couple of months but this is the first time she has been inked up and coloured - shameful I know!

As usual, I have used promarkers for colouring in the image and also a little yellow stickles to add a bit of twinkle to the candles. The papers are a combination of Henbury Lane, Forever friends Pink Parfait and Dovecraft Back to Basics. The lacey edges were made using a Martha Stewart punch and the flowers & little metal flower charm are from my stash.

Special day!

Today is a special day for me as it is my first DT post over at One Stitch at a Time (Big smile on my face!!) and I have been able to join in with a very special charity challenge to help people coping with Autism. Check out the prize list at the end of this post.....

One Stitch At A Time are challenging you to make a special "Rainbow Themed" card - Anything goes type of challenge, but must have a rainbow or the colors of a rainbow in your creation. The reason for this Rainbow challenge is in honor of a very special little guy named Cameron. You can read his story here

Here's a little history and the reason for this Super Challenge this week..

".A very very good friend of Stitchy's who is known in the digital world by the name "FUNKY" , has built a beautiful fundraiser blog for her grandson Cameron..He is autistic and Funky and her daughter are striving to help Cameron..Some of you may know Funky, she has been in the digital scrapping world for a very long time. If you could find it in your heart to help Funky and her little guy out, it will not go unrewarded. We know times are very hard for everyone right now, so if you can't give even a dollar, please don't feel bad, but please do go and read his story, he's quite a character lol..Thank you in advance to all that take part in this very special challenge - have fun & good luck!!! "

So here's my effort!!

I was thrilled to bits when I found out that I was going to use this fabulous unicorn image by Eiglas, isn't it lovely. At first I thought of doing a card but eventually I settled on a wall hanging which I think would look lovely in a little girls bedroom. I must apologise for the poor picture quality but my own point and shoot camera has died (sniff sniff) and by the time I got my husbands SLR beastie to co operate the light was rubbish and the sheen on the pearlescent card was causing problems. The image is coloured with a combination of Sakura glitter pens and promarkers, the backing paper is from Craftwork cards and the ribbons and brads are from a stash raid!!

I'd also like to enter this into the following challenges:

Paper Pretties: Use brads or eyelets

Fab n Funky: What'eva
