52CCT January Theme

Hello everyone, and welcome to week 3 of January with the team from 52 Christmas Card Throwdown Challenge. With it being the 3rd week of the month it is time for us to have a Theme Challenge. Our hostess Andreja has chosen

What a wonderful theme to play with this week. And I think that this could be used in so many ways.

As I started looking through my Christmas paper stash I found this piece that was big enough for my background paper. I knew that I had these present stickers in my stash; previously I had used these on Birthday cards but they fitted in so well with this theme. It just goes to show you that your images can have multi-purposes. 🙂 Just by adding a Christmas sentiment they become Christmas presents.

Thanks for stopping by and looking at my Design Team project for our Theme Challenge over at 52CCT. I hope that you will come on over and play along with us. Before you go from my blog I would like to leave you with this thought for this post.

Until my next post,
Live Each Day of Your Life.

Birthday Ewe

Hello everyone, it’s Day 7 of the Bugaboo 10th Birthday Bash and the last day. I have had so much fun creating with critters all week 🙂

Birthday Ewe Trio was the Freebie and can be purchased here

I had actually already purchased this image a little while ago. Because I use this image and a lot of the “Ewe” images for friends of mine that love either knitting, crochet, weaving or spinning their wool fibres. So this card will come in handy for my stash.

I am really pleased with how this one turned out. It is on the simpler side of my makes but I had a lot of fun colouring in the image with my Copic markers. And one of my friends will get a kick out of this card.

Thanks for stopping in and looking at my card project. Before you go from my blog I would like to leave you with this last thought for this post.

Until my next post,
Have a giggle today.

Happy Bird-day

Hello everyone, here is Day 6 of the Bugaboo 10th Birthday Bash. What an interesting set of colours to play along with.

I didn’t use a cow on my project but I did use a sweet image from Bugaboo.

Unfortunately this sweet Bird/Chick image is no longer available in the Bugaboo Digital Store. But you will find some fine feathered friends to make yours. I coloured in this image with my Copic markers and used a birthday embossing folder on some aqua paper and layered everything in this green paper.

May you find time to be crafty today.

Birthday Laughter

Hello everyone, yes another project completed for the week of Birthday celebrations over with the crew from Bugaboo. Day 5 – Make Us Laugh

I must admit that this type of challenge I always find challenging 😀 But this is what I came up with

With using the image “Chicken Soup” I was going to do this as a Get Well card but then I realized that it had to be a Birthday card so the saying at the top is how I fixed this 🙂 Because I still liked the joke that I came up with. And I had these Birthday stickers in my stash so I decided to add a few to this project.

Thanks for stopping in and looking at my card project with a laugh. Before you depart my blog I would like to leave you with a final thought for this post.

Until my next post,
Have a laugh at some jokes today.

Birthday BINGO

Hello everyone,
Yes, another post for the Birthday bash over at Bugaboo. And this is Day 4 Birthday Bingo.

Can you tell which line in the Bingo I used?
It’s the 3rd column: straight up and down – the only change I made was the gems – I didn’t have so I used pearls instead. (Hope this was OK) The image that I used this time around is Circle Sentiments – Birthday Ewe. I have coloured this image in with my Copic markers and I am using more of the Birthday paper pack that I found in my stash. And to cut out the image and my layering circle with my thin dies I was able to use my new Gemini Jnr Machine. I treated myself to this machine after all the problems I have been having with my shoulders. It was expensive (especially in OZ) but I looked at it as a long term investment in my crafting future – just using it on this card I am sooooo happy that I made this purchase. I can use my dies again ((HAPPY dance))

Thanks for stopping by and looking at my BINGO card project. Before you depart my blog I would like to leave you with this final thought for this post.

Such a better way to look at this saying!

Until my next post,
Find your sense of humor.

Bookmark for You

Hello everyone, challenge 3 for the Birthday bash over at Bugaboo.

I wasn’t quite sure what to make for this challenge but I loved the Molly Moo’s garden image from the previous challenge that I decided that I would make something with this to add to the card in the previous post.

A lot of my friends are readers so I decided to make a bookmark with this saying and another image from Bugaboo; this time I used Book Stack. These images were coloured this time with my Copic markers. I will laminate this before I give it but I know that trying to photograph through laminate is a nightmare 🙂

Thanks for stopping in and looking at my project. Before you depart I would like to leave you with the last thought for this post.

That could take a while!

Until my next post,
Get lost in the pages of a book.

Sketch for Birthday Celebration

Hello everyone, this post is for the Day 2 of the Birthday Bash celebrations for Bugaboo Digital Stamps. And as you can see it is sketch time; doesn’t it remind you of a pair of overalls? At least that’s what I first saw.

An interesting sketch to play around with.

For this sketch I had a little fun with the image “Molly Moo – garden” I decided that she would be harvesting balloons 🙂 She is coloured in with both markers and pencils. The sentiment is from My Favorite Things.

Have a crafty kind of day.
