Hello I am still alive just really busy with lots of exciting projects that I am blessed to be involved in. I have a new part-time job starting in March and I am going to be a part of a new venture that is launching very soon called Nomadic Crafts which will be hosting some really creative workshops in stunning locations at affordable prices so please keep watching this space. I went to a meeting last night and the venue that is one of the venues we will be using overlooks the Olympic park and is really creative.
Let me share my project for this fortnights Delicious Doodles Challenge I had fun unlike some of the girls who find pink a bit of a challenge lol xxx. I decided to use the opportunity to make a gift for one of my daughters friends who is twelve. I made a canvas and I made altered a photo frame. I used lots of decoupaging techniques for these. I also used the very beautiful Small Butterfly from the Delicious Doodle Store. I hope you can join in the challenge and look forward to seeing your designs xxx

Winter Wonderland...

Hello hope everyone is well I have been busy looking after my poorly Max this week with  his chest being full of horrible cold. There are a lot of nasty germs around this January. I also celebrated yesterday another year of getting closer to the big 40 eek that will be next year... !!!

This is my DT card for the brilliant Delicious Doodles Challenge Teri has some amazing images out for release this week so please check out the shop HERE!!

Our theme for the challenge this week is to be inspired by a WInter Wonderland. I chose a frosty morning and the very subtle hues of blue remind me of the ice and the subdued sympathy card reminded me of how we feel on a frosty morning. I created a scene using my My Craft Studio and added some stickles as a frosty glaze.

I coloured the stunning Fallen available in the shop  I used copics and promarkers and added some feathers to embellish her.

Have a great week I hope to be back sooner rather than later xxx

Delicious Doodles Challenge

Hi everyone and a Happy New Year to you all. I have had a bit of a having a little break from blogland and reviewing my committments as my real life has changed and I needed to get myself focused on all that was happening there. I am back and I am hoping to be posting more regulary  now and sharing some of my projects I have been doing in the past couple of months.
I am kicking off with this 80's revival inspired card for the brilliant Delicious Doodles Challenge. You must check out the teams cards they are totally amazing. We have a great theme for this challenge as it is the first of the New Year we want to see anything New on your cards. Could be an image, stash, technique it is completely up to you.
I had to use the beautiful new emo Image "I'm no Goth" from the shop she is so beautiful and she reminded me of how I was in the eighties so I used the eighties revival to inspire my card. I used lots of flurescent colours and punked her up with some lace and a safety pin charm. I made the sentiment on my graphics programme and added some funky feathers. The design papers are two I  designed last year.  She is coloured with promarkers and flexmarkers.

Hairy Legs anyone!!!

Good Evening everyone!!! Life again this week took lots of twists and turns. I was on my business course on Monday and Friday lots of exciting things happening there xxx I was in hospital midweek with my youngest daughter Bradie as she had a meningitus scare. There have been some cases in our area recently so the GP was on red alert. She had a headache for a day or so so I took her to the docs on Tuesday and then on Wednesday morning a non blanching rash appeared on her arm I was really scared so straight to the GP who told me that a school had a case recently so I was to go straight to A&E so we spent the night there and she had two lots of intravenous antibiotics and I had a sleepless Wednesday night. Glad to say she is well again now xxx

So Hairy legs I hear you shout why are you on about that on a card making blog!!! Well as you know my boss Teri  over at Delicious Doodles Challenge asked us to set some themes and Ruthie looked at her legs and decided to choose "Hairy Legs" as one I thought it was a great idea. You can choose to interpret it as you wish. It could be Hairy legs on an animal, a man, a women you decide!!!! As always Teri is offering up some great prizes and as long as you follow the rules and the  theme you can enter!!!

I chose animal hairy legs and went with the gorgeous image Christmas Stocking Rudolph. I used him 9 times to make all of Santa's reindeer to keep him company I added a sentiment and drew in some string. I coloured with Promarker  and copics. I kept the layout very simple as I wanted the focus on the design. I hope you like what I have chosen to do  xxx

Goddess

For a while now I have lacked the drive to create so when I came across this fabulous blog The Butterfly Effect I was inspired to create my very own Ancient Goddess! They give us 8 steps to follow to doing this. I hope this represents the theme in the right way. 

I decided to create a beautiful Love Goddess. I have yet to give her a name. I was inspired by the Greek Goddess Aphrodite. During my research on Goddesses I found I was hugely drawn to the Earthly Goddesses too so I used Earthly colours in one of my coloured pictures.  I coloured her with prismacolour pencils and added some white gel pen. The other one is very much trying to keep to the Aphrodite and Greek Goddess feel of clean and simple. She is coloured with alcohol pens xx

I drew a pencil drawring and then traced with a black pen. I then scanned into the computer and turned her into a digital image. I added a frame and some hearts. I wanted her to become a more modern take on the Greek Goddess.

Thanks to the challenge for inspiring me to get out my sketch pencils and to create I really enjoyed it xxx

Delicious Doodles _ Remembrance

Hello this week at Delicious Doodles Challenge we have a REMEMBRANCE challenge to interpret as you wish too. I choose to make something with Poppies as this is a real symbol of Rememberance. I LOVE poppies too so it was fun for me. There are prizes to be won and if you use one of Teri's images the chance to get spotlighted !!!!

I made this gift mug into which I will put some teabags and coffee and hot chocolate sachets for the teachers at Christmas.

I used a overlay template from the most recent Encyclopedia of templates from My Craft Studio. I then choose a paper to decorate the whole mug template. I then used Teri's two images to decorate the mug. I used Poppy and Poppies I coloured Poppy with promarkers and copics. I made a matching tag too.
