Mami Doodles - Fun boy images

Can you just imagine my excitement when these two cutie pies arrived into my inbox from Elisa..... SO ADORABLE.... I just screamed in delighted.  You can never have enough little boy images to play with when you have two smallies!  The first is Lil Luke goes fishing and the second is Lil Alex with a bucket.  There are now released and available at Mami Doodles.

So I started playing straight away - and here's what I came up with.

 Supplies:  Mami Doodles digi image, PP by SMIRK for him range, 

ribbon from SMIRK, Spellbinders curved rectangles, 

sentiment computer generated, copics, glossy accents and pop dots.

I coloured him with copics, cut him out, added white gel pen accents and glossy accents to his wellie boots and the cute fish.  

Thanks so much for peeking - be sure to pop over to Mami Doodles to check out this week's challenge here.

 Have a great weekend, Deirdre

Guest Designer for Sketch Saturday

First ... just let me get this out of my system...woohooooooooo!!!!!! okay... we are all set..... !
A number of months ago the super talented Paula from Pollycraft also a Design Team member for Sketch Saturday contacted me and asked if I would be her Guest Designer for Sketch Saturday in June.  So after I danced around my kitchen.... I quickly responded "YES!!!!".

This is the sketch for this week

Supplies: Fluffy digi from Tales from Pollycraft, Kraft Cardstock, Cuttlebug embossing folder, 

pp by SMIRK for him range, Sentiment from PTI, brads from Papermania, pop dots, 

copics and Quickutz cookie cutting circles.

A number of you will recognise Paula's wonderful image - "Fluffy" from her Critters & Cogs Range.  I saw him and just dashed over to buy him, isn't he just ADORABLE?..... I teamed him up with the new SMIRK for him range (paper/ribbon) and some brads in my stash that matched.  I used the same kraft coloured cardstock to do some layering of textures rather than colour (for a change!!)

Thanks so much for peeking and I really hope you get a chance to play along with Sketch Saturday this week.

I just realised that my owl card with the wonderful Mami Doodles Owl image was featured on the CARDS blog yesterday in the challenge - make cards with a window!.... still doing the happy dance!.  LOL!

Birthday Card for Dad!

Supplies: Smirk for Him 8x8 Paper pack, Smirk for him decoupage pad, 

Smirk ribbon, card blank, sentiment and die cut from Papertrey Ink 

It was my Dad's Birthday last week while we were away on holidays and I made this for him before we left.  It is from the SMIRK range for Men.  Love how the ribbon co-ordinates with the pp and the chipboard decoupage.  I just had to make a card with a car because he just got a new car and it seems that in his retirement instead of the cars getting smaller they seem to be going the other direction!!!  My brothers and I are now calling him a "boy racer!" - so you can see why this card was so apt!

Thanks so much for peeking.  Hope you are having a great Monday.
