A special extra "Monochromatic" challenge at The Sailing Pineapple Blog for the launch this month! I've made this very green journal page and used one of my favourite The Sailing Pineapple images "Oscar" and the first line of the TS Eliot poem!

 
Background is Dylusions spray inks in shades of green plus some acrylic also in shades of green - of course! and you can just see my fish skeletons down the side of the page cut with my silhouette.

 
Enjoyed playing around making this page with all the spraying, sponging and scarping LOL!

Glitz & Glamour...

July 29th 2014


A sparkly challenge for you at The Sailing Pineapple Blog this week - we want to see "Glitz & Glamour"!!!!! I've used "Lily" - a very glamorous poodle - LOL!!!

 
Background papers are from Shery K Designs Etsy Store - I thought the "Cacao" colours were a good match with the black & pink image and accessories! The "Ladies Accessories" were cut on my Cameo Silhouette and were purchased from the Silhouette Store - I bought them to "accessorise" this card - I thought they were just perfect for this prissy poodle!!
 

I added some glitter glue to Lily's crown, her tail & the perfume bottle for some sparkle and I added some heart shaped gems to the card for even more glitz!

Can't wait to see the entries this week!

Xmas in July...

July 22nd 2014


At The Sailing Pineapple Blog we couldn't resist having a "Xmas in July" Challenge - so this week's challenge is just that except we have a twist and that is to use something non-traditional on your creation ie. don't use green & red, or use an image which is NOT a xmas themed image like the little hobbit girl I have used, use pastel colours or pink & purple - whatever is non traditionally xmas!!

 
 
I added a cut out (using my Cameo Silhouette) xmas hat to this Hobbit Girl image from The Sailing Pineapple to turn her into an image for my xmas card! I also cut the layered shape with my Silhouette and used great digital papers from Yellow Lemons Etsy Store.
 
I am also entering this card in the My Sheri Crafts Christmas in July Challenge which requires lots of layers! And the Craft Your Passions Challenges Blog also has a Christmas in July Challenge so I am entering there as well!

Flowery Notes...

July 15th 2014


A new challenge at The Sailing Pineapple Challenge Blog this week and the theme is "Anything BUT a Card"! I've altered a little notebook - it has been "recovered' with paper and I added 3 flower images coloured with Copics & fussy cut from The Sailing Pineapple Store. We would love to see some more entries this week so why not play along!

Nature Calls Journal Pages

July 8th 2014


A new "Nature Calls" themed challenge at The Sailing Pineapple Blog this week. I made a double page spread in my mini journal for this using several images from the "Just Bee Cuz Bee Hive" Stamp Set available at The Sailing Pineapple Store. We look forward to seeing your creations for this challenge!


Background is Dylusions sprays plus I used an orange ink pad to stamp over the stencil. Images coloured with Copic Markers & fussy cut then adhered to the page.

This is also my Week 25 Journal Pages for the Journal 52 Blog Prompts - of course I am way behind with these prompts but am creating pages where I can which is the main thing!

Flowerful.....

July 1st 2014


Time again for a new challenge at The Sailing Pineapple Blog and the theme this week is "Sew Cute" - so we want to see some stitching on your creation - faux or real! Of course I've done real sewing with my sewing machine!


Flower images are from The Sailing Pineapple Store and have been coloured with Copic Markers. Patterned papers are Digital papers from Quakasu Papers Etsy Store - there are some really gorgeous designs in this store!

I am entering my card at the new "Mixed Media Card Challenge Blog" which has a theme of a "Touch of Nature" - my card has sewing machine stitching, muslin fabric, lace flowers as well as card, paper & Copic ink colouring.

A Poodle in Paris....

June 25th 2014


A new image and new challenge at The Sailing Pineapple Blog - theme this week is "Repurpose" - we want to see something recycled on your creation!

My card has a few recycled items - one is the Happy Birthday ribbon which came from some present someone in the family received and I kept it in case LOL! I've also used beads from an old earring and some old lace! Digital papers are from With Wild Abandon- love the pink of course!
