Today is a new challenge over at Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge and this week we have a recipe for you of ' 3 snowflakes, 2 circles and lace', we are also sponsored by Kenny K and the DT were lucky enough to have some images to play with. I loved using this mistletoe image from Kenny K, it is so far removed from what I normally colour and I didn't think I would like using it but I did and I think I will be visiting the shop and buying a couple more. The papers I have used are from Basic Grey and you can purchase them along with Promarkers at the Secret Crafter shop.
Hello! Hope you are all having a good weekend. I am very late with my posts this week, been out most of the weekend and also full of a cold so not really in the mood for much today. Anyway Friday saw a new challenge over at Crafty Catz and this week's theme is dedicated to our very own Aunty Sue who has been very poorly the last few months but is happily on the mend now. So we want to see Get Well cards and if you want to send yours to Aunty Sue pop over to the blog to see how you can do it. Sadly Lindsey has left the team this week, we will miss you loads Lindsey especially those gorgeous cards but I am sure I she will be back with us every now and again if I get my own way lol! Our good news is we have a lovely new member on our DT, Carly, you will all know her fantastic work I am sure especially if you are a Charisma Cardz fan, welcome Carly! Anyway I hope you can join us this week and I can't wait to see all your Get Well cards.
Today is a new challenge over at Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge and this week's theme is 'Sparkle and Shine'. I have used Tilda again, I have used her on every card this week but I couldn't resist as there are so many great Christmas Tilda's. The papers used are Basic Grey which can be bought in the Secret Crafter shop along with Promarkers which I have coloured with. I have added tons of sparkle to this card with my Stickles but sadly it hasn't shown up well on the pictures, I really need to master how to take photo's which really pick up the sparkle, any tips would be greatly received. Anyway thank you for taking the time to visit me and leave such lovely comments I really appreciate it and will try my best to come and visit you too.
Hello! Today is a new challenge over at Totally Gorjuss and this week's theme is 'Traditional Christmas colours'. I love making Christmas cards in traditional colours, deep reds and greens it is what Christmas is about for me, I love everything about it and cannot wait to get my tree up, I am one of those people that puts it up the first weekend in December and tells everyone it is 'because of the kids' when really it would go up then whether I had kids or not lol! I have used Tilda again in this card and one of my new Whimsey sentiment stamps which I am loving and will be used on every Christmas card I make from now on so I apologise in advance for that! Well I can't wait to visit you all this week and see your gorgeous cards.
Hello again, this is my last post for today and it is my DT card for Totally Gorjuss. This week is a sketch challenge and we have another lovely sketch from Net to use, I loved this one as it was nice and easy to follow yet so effective. I have used another Lili of the Valley stamp, I am loving these at the moment and must get some more especially the Christmas ones. I have used Basic Grey paper again but blues this time which I don't often use for Christmas cards but I love the finished look of this card and will no doubt use blue more often. I hope you can join us again this week as we have a very special guest designer, Kim Piggott, how lucky are we ... and enjoy the rest of your weekend.
Today is a new challenge over at Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge and this week's theme is 'Red and Gold' perfect for those Christmas cards. I have used a Lili of the Valley image, I bought a couple of their stamps a month or so ago and I thought it was time I used them as they are so gorgeous. The papers are from Basic Grey and you can buy these at the Secret Crafter shop along with the Promarkers that I have used to colour with. I hope you can join us again this week as I am looking forward to visiting you all soon.
Good morning, hope you are all well. Yesterday was a new challenge over at Crafty Catz and this week's theme is 'Spots & Stripes' as chosen by Lindsey. As I am behind as usual on my Christmas cards I have now made the decision that every card where possible that I make now has to be a Christmas card so fingers crossed that there are lots of Christmas themes coming up or I could have problems lol! It was my beautiful little girl's [not biased at all am I ...] birthday on Tuesday and she was the big '5'. She has been soooooo excited about the whole thing for week's so I am kind of glad it has been and gone as we might all get some sleep now but she had a party at the local soft play centre with loads of her friends and got lots of lovely pressies so she is very pleased with herself, she mainly got art stuff bought her as like me she loves crafting so maybe there will be a 'By Grayce' blog one day. Anyway back to Crafty Catz and we are sponsored this week by Robyn's Fetish and I have used one of their fab digi images for this card, the angel was not meant to look like she had a nightshirt on but she does so apologies for that. I hope you can all join us again this week and I can't wait to see your spotty and stripey creations.
Good morning, hope you are all well. Sorry I have not posted for a while but things have been mad and with half term on top of it all last week I have been struggling to keep up. Anyway this is a very late post for my DT cards for Crafty Catz and Totally Gorjuss, both had a Halloween theme this week so I am ashamed to say I have used the same card for both DT's, I promise this won't happen again lol! I have used a fantastic Mo Manning image and coloured with Promarkers and the papers are Basic Grey. I hope you are having a lovely week and I will be hopefully back to normal with all my DT cards at the end of the week.
