On the Farm

July 16th 2014
A new challenge for this week at the Wicked Wednesday ATC Challenge Blog - "On the Farm" and a great sponsor - A Day for Daisies - don't they just have the greatest images to work with!

 

 

I've used "Bunny Garden" image - so cute - I couldn't resist the carrots LOL! Digital patterned papers complete with carrot images are from Happy Hearts Studio at Etsy - I bought them especially for this ATC.

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!

A Seahorse Under the Sea....

July 14th 2014

 

 

A journal page made for the Week 26 "Under the Sea" prompt at Journal 52 & it's also one of my DT Creation's for this month for Gecko Galz using the seahorse digi from the newly released set for July!

 



Background is Dylusions sprays plus some paint and stencilling with added mesh, muslin cloth, little "bubble" stickers and stamped wording. Seahorse image coloured with Copic Markers. I'm really happy with how this page has turned out!

Bend Over.............

July 11th 2014

 

 

My daughter needed a thank you card for a doctor & his nurses so this is what I came up with! Scary nurse image is from Just Inklined. Digital papers which are just perfect for this card are from Happy Heart Studios at Etsy.

 



 

My daughter gave them some chocolates & flowers too - they were really appreciative!  You know I couldn't believe it when they told me it was very rare that patients gave them anything these days - the world is changing (for the worse) - I know they get paid for their services but a little extra thanks isn't that hard to do - is it??????

 

I'm also entering this card in the current The Cheerful Stamp Pad challenge which requires the use of a digital background - all the patterned papers on my card including the main background are digital papers from the Happy Heart Studios Etsy Store!

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!

Gecko Galz + With Wild Abandon

July 4th 2014

 

 

As you know each month Gecko Galz teams up with a "complimentary" company to do a cross promotion. This month we have teamed up with the  "With Wild Abandon" Etsy Store!

 



For my card I used papers from With Wild Abandon and used my sewing machine to stitch all the layers. The main image is a new release from Gecko Galz and comes with the Petticoat Princess Collage Set - I love this very feminine image. I added some little charms and switl stickers to finish off my card.

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.
