Nice Wallpaper

Afternoon Folks!

A quick post, I just wanted to show you the card I made today for the monthly progressive challenge over at Gerda Steiner Designs. This month's cute stamp is called 'Cat in Bookshelf ' When this popped into my inbox, my mojo had done a runner and I have to admit I didn't really have a clue what to make or how to use it. Late last night, I was rummaging through my paper pads looking for something else (as you do) and I found a paper pad from The Works called Pastels and Whites. For some reason, this paper made me think of wallpaper..... and so this idea came to me! Gotta love some chintzy wallpaper:

I'm looking forward to seeing what image Gerda sends out next month, so far they have all been super cute and fun to colour.

Spring bunnies

Hi Folks!

It's a bright but very chilly afternoon here in Hampshire - have you had much snow yet? We've had a few flurries here but not much has settled. I'm secretly hoping for lots of snow so I can have a day off from school!!

Today, I wanted to share my entry  for the monthly progressive challenge over at Gerda Steiner Designs using Spring Bunny Friends.

I fell in love with this sweet couple as soon as they arrived in my inbox. I think they could be used for lots of occasions. I coloured them up with promarkers last night and raided my scraps folders to find suitable papers. I decided to go CAS to keep the focus on the image and also because I was short of time!!

The sentiment is made by Inkadinkado, I picked it up in a job lot of stamps from Ebay and it is rapidly becoming a favourite, love the funky font. 

I'm looking forward to seeing the new image Gerda sends out next month, so far they have all been super cute and fun to colour.

Panda in Love

Hi Folks!

It's a bright but chilly afternoon here in Hampshire - I'm in a good mood because Friday has finally arrived, it's been a long week! Not got big plans for the weekend, hopefully some time to craft.

Today, I wanted to share my entry  for the monthly progressive challenge over at Gerda Steiner Designs using Panda in Love. 

I fell in love with this little panda as soon as he arrived in my inbox. I coloured him up last night and raided my scraps folders to find suitable papers. I love how this turned out, I think it could be used for lots of occasions. 

I'm looking forward to seeing the new image Gerda sends out for February, so far they have all been super cute and fun to colour.

A balancing Act

Hi Folks!

It's a beautiful crisp, bright but very chilly afternoon here in Hampshire - no sign of snow!! Just dashing on to share my entry  for the monthly progressive challenge over at Gerda Steiner Designs - should make it with an hour to spare!!

How cute is this mouse balancing on a bauble!!

I fell in love with this little chap as soon as he arrived in my inbox but life has been a bit hectic lately and although he was coloured quite quickly, it has taken a while to get him on a card! I hope you can see the glossy accents all over the bauble and fluff on the hat:

I'm looking forward to seeing what image Gerda sends out for December, so far they have all been super cute and fun to colour. I was the lucky winner last month and added some fun digi's to my collection which I hope to play with soon!

Racoon

Hi Folks!

It's really grey and dull here in Hampshire - I'm feeling like it should be time to hibernate!

Anyhow, I have just the thing to cheer things up a bit, this is my entry  for the monthly progressive challenge over at Gerda Steiner Designs.  How cute is this racoon holding his little message board!!

I fell in love with this little chap as soon as he arrived in my inbox. Not being totally familiar with racoons, I did do a quick google search to check colours and markings before I got the promarkers out!

I'm looking forward to seeing what image Gerda sends out for November, so far they have all been super cute and fun to colour.

Sweet tooth Mouse

Evening Folks!

A quick post from me tonight, I just wanted to show you the card I made today for the monthly progressive challenge over at Gerda Steiner Designs. This little cutie is called Sweet Tooth mouse, he looks like he's having fun licking out the bowl - I'm not sure what's in there, perhaps vanilla cake mixture ?? Ahh, happy childhood memories!

I gave the grey promarkers a bit of an outing colouring this one, not sure why but I felt this was definitely a grey rather than a brown mouse. This is a bit smaller than my usual card size so I kept it CAS - I wanted the image to be the main feature, plus I also needed to get some dinner cooked too :-)

I'm looking forward to seeing what image Gerda sends out for October, so far they have all been super cute and fun to colour.

Afternoon Folks!

Hope all of you in the UK enjoyed the Bank Holiday weekend, the weather was glorious here for a change! It's a quick post from me this afternoon, I just wanted to share my card for the Gerder Steiner progressive challenge using this month's super fun digi called I didn't eat it (yet!). This card took me most of yesterday to make ... jet lag is wonderful - not!

He reminds me of the sugar puff Honey Monster! 

Thanks for looking!

Hello Folks!

Hope everyone is OK? I'm posting in a hurry today as I'm nearly too late for Gerda Steiner's progressive challenge. I've had all month to play with this super cute digi and here I am posting in the final hours! I do have a feeble excuse though - I couldn't get my computer to talk to my printer all last week. Typically, technical support a.k.a. my husband was away, so I had to wait for him to work his magic when he got back!

Anyhow enough waffle, here's my card:

The papers were a free gift from Cardmaking & Papercraft magazine in 2009 - I knew it was worth keeping them all this time as they were perfect for this little chap - LOL!!

Hello Turtle

Afternoon Folks,

Not a very productive weekend for crafting here but I did finally finish this card which is my first ever entry for the Gerda Steiner Progressive challenge, using the super cute Hello Friend Turtle. 

I coloured up this little chap last week with promarkers and then my mojo disappeared when deciding on the layout. 

In the end, after much faffing around I decided to go for a CAS design which I am quite pleased with - finally! The stripey paper (Chatterbox) and orange paper (The Snowman collection) are both from my scraps folders but they seemed perfect together with the turtle shell. The sentiment is from a Humphrey's Corner set.
