Countryside with TTPH
Good morning everyone. I'm just back from a few days away with my daughter and granddaughter. We went off for a bit of cross border shopping. Found a few craft stores too....
Here I have my DT creation for the new challenge at Through The Purple Haze. This delightful image (Outback Dunny) was provided by our sponsor and is sure to bring a smile. It was a dream to colour up with my markers, and of course the Hello sentiment fits my sense of humour to a tee.

Gift wrapping....
We are having a really hot and humid spell, so I thought I could cool it down a bit with a Christmas creation. Such a shame we can't save some of those really cold temperatures to moderate the summer heat. But then, what would I complain about? lol
Here I've decorated a bag, all ready for Christmas giving, using an image from Make it Crafty. Copics are the colouring medium, with some DI for the edges. A Spellbinder's die to cut it out, and then some papers and washi tape for the background. The papers and tags are all from the Dovecraft - Tis the Season collection.
Thanks for popping by, and I do hope you are having a splendid summer.
Now, for some challenges for my project:

Beautiful dreamer....
Hello everyone! It's about time I did another posting, and it is far too hot and muggy to be outside. Thank goodness for air conditioning. I've added another page to my travel journal today, and if I see something like this on my travels I'll be sure to let you know.
Remember now, too much sun or alcohol can make you do strange things! ha ha. This delightful image is from Make it Crafty, and once again, I've coloured with copics.
I've gone with the 'out of the box technique' to cut him out, and some stenciling for the background. Just a bit of washi tape and a few sticky dots to dress it up.
Hopefully by this time next year I will be up and about and ready to travel again....and make use of this journal.
Enjoy the summer while you can, after all...we know winter will be here soon enough.

A walk in the park...
Good morning fellow bloggers. I have another card for you today for our new challenge at Paper Crafting Journey. This week the theme is Emboss That!, and my card uses an image provided by our lovely sponsor, Sassy Studio Designs.
I finally figured out how to colour the hair to make it look wavy, and I'm quite pleased with the results. With luck I will remember how to do it for next time! Once again, I have made use of my copics, and also a background image. My goal is to use some of those stamps or tools that seem to not get used much....you know what I mean....
For my embossing, I pulled out a little-used die, and then used my score board to add a border. Some DI to to highlight and little bit of stamping to finish it off.
Supplies used:
Sassy Studio image - Carrie Sassy
Make It Crafty background image - Grass
Verve Stamps sentiment - Birthday Surprise
Paper from GCD Studios - Ella Blue collection
Marianne's die - Anja Edge

Candycanes and Smiles
One more card, ready to post! I enjoy making the cards, but can't say I like venturing out into the cold to mail them. Somehow, with the cold weather we've been having, it seems like it should be February. Thankfully, we still have Christmas to look forward to, but after that.....I think it is going to be a long winter.
My card today uses the adorable Candy Elf image from Make it Crafty. Isn't she a sweetie with that lovely smile. Coloured with copics and a bit of pencil, it gives you lots of opportunity to use some nice bright colours. I've kept the card very simple, for mailing, and except for the bow...all embellishments are stickers of some kind or other.
Other supplies used:
Papers from MME - Merry Days of Christmas collection
Spellbinders die - Floral Ovals
My Christmas tree should be going up this weekend, with alittle lot of help and a ladder. That will make it one more step closer to being ready for Christmas. Hopefully, you too are nearly ready and not getting too stressed out!

I can explain....
Greetings everyone. My goodness but it's cold outside.....no global warming around here today! I'm still working on a few last minute Christmas cards, but at least I can do that inside where it's warm and cozy. So here I go with another, using some nice warm reds and then some greens for the traditional look.
How about this adorable image from Make it Crafty, titled Gnomey Peter. Isn't he something, and perfect for a male recipient? Coloured with copics, a bit of pencil and some DI's I do like his admonishing pose. The papers are some oldies from the Basic Grey, Eskimo Kisses line, mostly green with just a bit of red and white to complement the image.
I've even played along with the Make it Crafty FB Sketch challenge....sort of. You will note, I have made a few changes, but if you look really hard .....well at least all of the elements are still there, though I did change the shapes. I wanted to stay with the masculine theme, even with the bow.
Other than that, a couple of sparkly snowflakes, a bit of greenery and a few added pearls to finish it off.

Party Girl
Hi there everyone! Time for a quick post before I go to watch the one and only TV show that I follow, 'Person of Interest'. I know, I'm a strange one, but TV doesn't do anything for me, although I do like a good movie!
Quite a simple little card, playing with some different shapes, most of which are just cut by hand. Once again, coloured with copics and edged with DI, adding a number of little metal brads for embellishment.
Supplies used:
Make it Crafty digi image - Party Girl Zoe
Paper from My Mind's Eye - Fine and Dandy collection
Spellbinders dies - Deckled Rectangles and Lacey Ovals
Hope life is treating you kindly! Thanks for visiting.

Time for a Sketch
Good morning, on this hot day in July! It's time for a new challenge at Charisma, and this time we are going with a sketch. So hopefully you can find yourselves somewhere cool and comfy to play along....
Following a sketch is always a challenge for me, as I tend to just wing it....each card being a surprise when finished, (lol)...but today's sketch is a nice easy one, thank goodness!
As you can see, I still had to do my own thing...going with a rectangle card rather than square.
Supplies used:
Image from Make It Crafty - Lizzie with Gift
Coloured with copics and pencil
Background stamp from Cornish Heritage Farms
Papers from Basic Grey - Sweet Threads 6x6 pad
Spellbinders dies - Inverted Scalloped Cirles and Edgeabilities Classic Petal
Gold peel-offs
Ribbon from Sew Sweet
This week we have two wonderful sponsors with some lovely prizes for our winners.

Thanks for dropping in, and be sure to check out the rest of the team's projects too, where you will find plenty of inspiration!

Happy Birthday with a Fancy Fold
Good morning everyone! It looks like a good day....may even be going out this afternoon....so here's a quick post.
This is an image from Make It Crafty, called Lulu Swings. I coloured her a while back, with some of the new copics I purchased and Prisma pencils with OMS. Then, I had to wait until my mojo came back with a card design. I found some inspiration in a few challenges this week, with the fancy folds, the colour combo, and of course the special challenge at Make It Crafty for Zoe's birthday.
Be sure to check out these challenges where I'll be entering this card! Have a crafty day!

Just a Swinging.....
Here's hoping you are all staying warm and cozy tonight! It's a cold one here, so maybe it's time to make some Spring/Summer cards to nudge Mother Nature along!
This is another of the images available in one of the packages for the Help for Katie fundraising benefit, created by Make It Crafty. We also have a garden swing, and I so look forward to enjoying it once again! My husband and I usually sit there and enjoy our coffee....just a swinging! LOL
A Martha Stewart punch was used to create the dark green frame, and the three butterflies both complement the DP and add some dimension.
I've coloured the image with both Prismas and markers, but the background is all sponged with distress inks. We don't see many rainbows here, but I do love to see the colours of the sky at sunrise or sunset.
I hope you've enjoyed your visit and can take away just a little bit of inspiration. Happy crafting!
