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.

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!

Paperplay Challenges - Thank you/Good Luck

This week's challenge over on Paperplay is to make a card/project with  "Thank you"/"Good Luck" as your theme.  This week's challenge is sponsored by MamiDoodles and the winner will get 3 of the latest Mami Doodles Digital stamps plus one of your own choice.

I made this card as my DT submission.  The digital image called "Bridget Thanks" is a freebie from Paula over on Tales from Pollycraft for reaching 600 followers.  She has just amazing images and be sure to check out her blog here and store here.  She also has a DT Call running until the 26th March. 

I loved working with this fun image, coloured with copics matted and layered with Bazzill dotted swiss cardstock and a fimo button which I made that matched the burgundy coloured paper.  The card blank is from DCWV and the ribbon is Papermania.

Thanks so much for peeking and I really hope that you will play along this week with Paperplay.  Thanks for stopping by.

Baby Boy Welcome and a Winner!

I just adore this image from Paula over on Tales from Pollycraft - it's called "Willie" and was a freebie a week or so ago.  Paula does freebies on Fridays - so be sure to check out her wonderful blog and store.  She has an adorable image up at the moment for reaching 600 followers - which isn't surprising given her amazing images.

I coloured him with copics, added stickles to the stars, cut using Quickutz cookie cutter circles and Quickutz scalloped squares with my Big Shot.  Added a sparkly white fimo button which I made and some satin ribbon (which looks green in this photo but is pale blue IRL!).  Perfect welcome for a new Baby Boy.

And on to the winner of the daffodils/Boris the bunny digital image - I used the random number generator over on random.org - tried my best to copy and paste the widget... just NOT working for me.

The result is no.1 - CinnamonSally - Sally congrats.  Let me know which image you would like to receive.

CinnamonSally said... Hi Deirdre, congratulations on being Janes guest designer, love your cards with her new images, the daffodils are lovely and Boris is so cute, will have to give him a try.

Thank you all for your wonderful comments - and thanks so much for stopping by.  I am entering this card into Pollycraft Monday Challenge - sparkly things.  It's not very clearly evident in the photo but all the stars around "willie's" head are glittery - because I added stickles!

Hope you have a great day and wonderful week ahead.

New Baby Boy Card

I made this card using Paula's amazing freebie available over on Tales from Pollycraft since Friday.  You might remember on Friday's post I mentioned that I was off to make a card with the image - as perfect timing I needed to make a card to Welcome Baby Kieran into the world. 

Here it is!  Loved working with this image called Willie.

Used copics to colour him - Frost Blue B00, Cool Shadow BG10 and Cool Gray No.1 C-1.  I used stickles on the stars and patterned paper by October Afternoon - three ducks in a row range.  Spellbinders Scalloped Circles - Large for the shape and Quickutz nesting circles.

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