Rockin' All Over The World

Evening everyone! How are you doing?
Hope you've had a lovely weekend! I've had a lovely lazy weekend!
We had an anti-natal class on Saturday which was fun, and i've managed to do some crafting during the rest of the weekend! Ahhh bliss! I am now on maternity leave! So I am hoping to get some more crafting done in the upcoming weeks!

Onto today's card!
This is for a male friend, who is a bit of a geek and a wannabe guitarist! So I had a look through my 9,000 odd digital stamps.... and found a great Bugaboo stamp ..... then had a little looksie around for some sketch inspiration and came across this weeks Skipping Stones sketch:

I liked the simplicity of it. So with that in mind, I created the following!

Very Rock 'N' Roll eh!? 

So what did I do!? 

Well!

I used Skelekinz Boys - You Rock my World by Bugaboo . Its coloured, very lazily, with promarkers & some glossy accents on the guitar, which has ended up making it look orange, whoops!

The stars are punched using a Hobbycraft Star punch. The giant background star is cut using my Big Shot and star Nesties! 

The sentiment is generated in word using font TF2. Et Voila! 

Nice and simple! As you can see I turned the sketch on its side, but you can make out the design still ya? 

I'd like to enter this card into the following challenges: 

Skipping Stones Design - Sketch

Sassy Studios - Birthday Card

OSAAT - Anything Goes

CES Challenges - Lots of Layers (Black on Black on Red on Black) 

Fun With Shapes - Birthday! 

Hotshot Crafts - One for the Boys

Hopefully, you'll be hearing from me a bit more in the next few weeks, well, unless baby boy makes an early appearance :)

Bugaboo Disaster

It is with a very sad face that I have been unable to finish the Bugaboo Challenges *boo hoo*
I intended to finish them off last night but we had a Washing Machine catastrophe and alas that took preference :(

It was a great set of Challenges Bugaboo-ers! I thoroughly enjoyed them and here's to many more birthdays :)

Flying Elephants

Morning crafters...

Super speedy post from me!
Just popped by to show you another card for the Bugaboo Birthday Bash! This is for Mondays Blue and White theme and uses one of their cute balloon critter images! Scrumptious!

It also uses the sketch over at Sketch and Stash this week!
Cute sketch I thought! And I used my scrummy new Dolly Alpha Mixtures on this card :)
I thought this also nicely fitted in with the challenge over at Cards for Men this week which is Lets Party! Nothing says party to me like balloons!

And lastly It also fits nicely with Papertake Weekly challenge which is Ribbons and Pearls.. which is surprising considering its a male card hehe!

So without further ado.. I present a flying elephant!
Okay... its a suspended flying elephant! But flying it is :)
Here is a close up of the 3D Paper piecing! My new favourite thing at the mo!


Hope you like it!

Happy Happy Happy

Evening crafters!

Just a quickie from me before I head to bed!
A card to contribute to Bugaboo's Birthday Festivities :)
This one is for the Tuesday Challenge! Which is using a beautiful freebie image and adding some bling!

I also used a challenge over at Polka doodle! Where this is also a freebie!
Their challenge is to follow a sketch, and use Red, White and Blue and it must be for a UK or USA recipient! Awesome idea eh!?

Here is the sketch
Cute sketch don't you think! And I stuck pretty much to it! I was really inspired by the card produced by their DT member Nikky. Simply gorgeous!

So without further ado here is my card!

It is very, very bright don't cha think! Hehe I love the brightness tehehe!

Here is a close up of the added bling! :)

And last but not least

Stamp: Clown from Bugaboo

Inks and things: Watercoloured and some inking around the edges

Papers: Paper pieced the clown. The red backing paper is in the freebie from Polka Doodle and the Blue paper is from Creative Cottage

Odds and Sods: Happy text is also in the freebie from Polka doodle! Thanks so much

Lots of love xxxx

Turtle Power

Its me again!

With another installment tonight... I would have spread it out over the next few days but I am far too impatient so am bombarding you all instead :)

This next card has been created with a few challenges in mind!

Now let me start with the design!

I followed the sketch at Tuesday Morning Sketches here

What a great sketch eh!?

So based on this I created the following card:

... I even managed to get a mini version of the sketch on the base of the easel card too!

Cute eh! Love this sweet sweet turtle image from Bugaboo Stamps!

This card is also for their challenge this week! The challenge was to use embossing.. Dry or Wet.

I haven't been able to capture it very well but I wet embossed the shell, balloons and feet to give them a raised look.. Maybe the next couple of pictures might help to show it :)

You may also have noticed that the balloons mysteriously display the number '22'. This is not subliminal advertising this is also done on purpose :D

Charisma Cardz Challenges are having their 2nd Birthday this week and have had a bloghop running this week and their challenge this week is to create a birthday card... and you get a 2nd entry if you have the number 2 on it! Seeing as it is my Sister-in-laws 22nd Birthday this year I thought I might get ahead of myself and get the card created now :)

As if that wasn't enough my card is also being entered into the Winter Wonderland Challenge this week .... which isn't necessarily Christmassy at the moment, so don't be put off going over there if you are sick of making Christmas cards..... They are going Dotty this week... and so am I with the Pink Petticoat Big Dots Papers in Envy.

Last but not least.... yes people it is nearly over! I am entering this into the Papertake Weekly challenge which this week is anything Goes! A nice easy one for the New Year :)

Phew.... If you got this far Bravo!!!

Last but not least I will grace you with all the details.

Card Ingredients

Stamps: Turtles from Bugaboo Stamps! There are so many to choose from
Inks and things: Turtle is coloured in promarkers and Wet Embossed. There is also a white Gel Pen used to make the little white dots!
Papers: Green card is from Paper Mill Shop. The Kraft Paper is from BG Payne crafts. The Dotty Paper is from Pink Petticoat Big Dots in Envy.
Odds and Sods: Nothing else to add!

Stay Tuned.

Lots of Love
