Pollycraft Monday Challenge - BLUE!

Can you believe this is my third (Paula just corrected me! opps! it's my Fourth) week as Guest Designer with Pollycraft Monday Challenge?  Where does the time go?  This week's challenge is Blue!. 

Supplies:  Critters and Cogs Digi image (star) from Pollycraft Designs, 

Sentiment - SRM Sticker, Ribbon by Pebbles, Buttons by PTI, PP Smirk for 

men collection, Spellbinders pinking circle dies, diamond stickles, 

glossy accents, copics and machine stitching.

Another fun challenge this week - when Paula told me the challenge was BLUE - I knew I would have to use Fluffy or Star on a card.  The above is what I came up with - used a white SRM Sticker (gotta love them!), I gave his eyes a touch of glossy accents and the star a blob of stickles.

Did you see the wonderful freebie - Maurice Christmas Socks! available here from Paula this week?  So fun.  Check out the wonderful Design Team creations too - right here.

Hope you all have a wonderful week and thanks so much for stopping by.

Pollycraft - "A glittery Christmas"

This week's Challenge on Pollycraft Monday Challenge is set by Joanne.  She wants you to create a card using the theme "A glittery christmas". After I took the shot above I decided to colour Marley's sweater and cut the ribbon a little..... so here's the finished card.

Supplies:  Pollycraft digital image - Marley's bauble,  Cosmo Cricket pp - 
Jolly by Golly Range 6x6, Papermania aqua coloured cardstock, 
Spellbinders star dies, tesco ribbon, Joy sentiment by SRM Stickers,

machine stitching, copics, pop dots and Diamond Stickles.

I adore this little guy - Marley's bauble.  I coloured the bauble on his tail with red copic and added glossy accents.  I then coloured him and his hat with copics and added lots of Diamond Stickles to his hat.  I cut sections of him out with a craft knife and then slotted the spellbinders largest star over him and ran it through my Big Shot.  I added a layer of stickles to the edge of the aqua star I handcut - I reckon this is "glittery!".  I also love the "Joy" Sticker by SRM Stickers - such a HUGE fan of SRM.

Entering this into Wee Memories Challenge this week - which is "Dust off that Patterned Paper!".   The pp I used is from last year's Cosmo Cricket range - Jolly by Golly.

Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you get a chance to play along this week.  Full details are here.

Hope you have a wonderful week.

Pollycraft Monday Challenge - "Doodling"

Supplies: Bridget Thanks Digital Image from Tales from Pollycraft, copics, Spellbinders Labels Six,

pp from Christmas Range by Papermania 2009, white gel pen, textured cardstock from 

Papermania, fimo button by Jane Beljo, pop dots and adhesive.

When I saw this challenge title.... I did worry somewhat about what I was going to create!.  Here's what I came up with.

This week's Challenge on Pollycraft Monday is "Doodling" and is set by Paula.

I added doodling to the wonderful "Bridget Thanks" digi image after I coloured it, doodling on the die cut (Spellbinders Labels Six) and around the matting.  Added a wonderful fimo button by my friend Jane Beljo - she sells them here in her Etsy Store too.

Be sure to check out what the talented DT came up with here.   Hope you get a chance to play along with this fun challenge.  Thanks so much for stopping by.

Pollycraft - "It's Chill Time"

It's Monday ... so it's Pollycraft Monday Challenge and I am delighted to be joining the team as Guest Designer for November.  Many of you know that I am a HUGE fan of Pollycraft and Paula's and was her GD on Sketch Saturday last June.

This week's challenge is set by Emma and "It's Chill Time..." seems very appropriate given the current weather!.

 Supplies:  Luna Bitterfrost - frosty digi from Tales from Pollycraft, Pale grey 

cardstock by Carson, pp by Fancy Pants Designs - Christmas Magic Range, 

I-rock crystal heat setting tool with swirl template and gems, 

Black enamel by Ranger, Diamond stickles by 

Ranger, copics, machine stitching in pale blue and pop dots.

I so loved playing with this wonderful image.  I coloured her in cool tones to fit in with the "Chill theme" and to match the patterned paper.  Matted and layered on pale grey cardstock with machine stitching.  Added black enamel to the snowman (unfortunately not evident in the photo but the dimension is there... I promise!).  Also added some stickles to the snowman's scarf for that extra sparkle!

Thanks so much for peeking and be sure to pop over to Pollycraft Monday Challenge to see the wonderful creations of the DT.   Hope you will get a chance to play along this week.

Wee Memories Challenge - Halloween

This wonderful freebie - Luna Bitterfrost available from Paula over on Pollycraft was the perfect image for this Halloween Card.  She also has a new freebie this week - Charcoal "in Moonspooks"!

The Pollycraft Monday Challenge this week is "it's a Fairytale".   So... this is my Gretel from a spooky October version of "Hansel and Gretel"! by the Brothers Grimm.

I printed it twice and cut out the smaller pumpkin and layered it with pop dots.  I also added glossy accents to just the skull - I resisted adding gloss to all the pumpkins!!!  It was a challenge! LOL!!

Added machine stitching in orange and matted and layered on BG Eerie 6x6 papers.  The sentiment was computer generated using Luna Font.

I am also entering this into this week's Wee Memories Halloween Challenge.  Jenny is on her honeymoon but the DT are looking after the show in her absence.  Hope she is having a wonderful time.

Thanks for peeking and I hope you have a fabulous day.  Would love to read your comments too if you fancy leaving one.  Thanks so much.

Flash those Freebies! Pollycraft challenge

Last week Paula of Tales from Pollycraft asked us all to make a card with one of her freebies - here was mine.  By posting and linking the card she then sent us this ADORABLE freebie called "Tortoise hugs" via email and this week's challenge is "think green!".  I matted and layered this adorable image and paired it with some word art from Create with TLC.  Made this as a Birthday card for a friend who celebrates her birthday the end of this month - so I am also entering it into Pollycraft's Monday Challenge - "Happy Birthday".

Supplies:  Digi image from Tales from Pollycraft, Wordart from 

Create with TLC, Textured cardstock from Papermania, 

Labels 8, CB embossing folder swiss dots, copics and pop dots

I am tossing the idea around in my head of adding glossy accents to both of the turtle shells.... am loving glossy accents at the moment!! LOL!!

Paula - hope you are enjoying your Birthday "week".... oh, did I mention.... the next part of the challenge .... Paula is letting us have a choice of digi (any digi!) from her shop... isn't that so kind.  Paula - thanks for sharing your wonderful talent and thanks for the wonderful freebies.

Thanks so much for stopping by.  Hope you are having a good week.
