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.

Sweet Pea Stampers _ Remember

Morning all, hope it is not so dull and dreary where you are today. I have had another week full of appointments. I had to see the educational pyschologist on Wednesday and the Paediatrician on Wednesday and I am happy to say that they have given a diagnosis of Developmental Co-ordination Disorder for my little princess Bradie which in basic terms means she has problems with organisation of her gross and fine motor skills, thoughts, understanding, planning and organisation. She also has Speech and Language issues it is a vastly underecognised disability that I believe needs promoting as many children go on to suffer juvenille deliquency and pyschiatic problems xxx Rant over have contacted my MP. I am going to fight her corner too as  this has been prescribed by the doctor xxx

Okay now onto my first card for today. I have made this DT card for the Sweet Pea Stampers challenge where we want you to "REMEMBER"! The prize this week is 2 Digital decoupage sheets from The Crafty Purple Frog!!! 

I used the ever so gorgeous Sweet Pea stamps image from the Ching Chou Kuik range for my card. Poppies are a beautiful flower and one of my favourites. I used some papers from the Paper Flower Expert CD rom that is available from My Craft Studio. The poppy embellishment is also from this CD rom too. I used some spellbinders dies to create the pretty border, frame and corners and added some sparkle too. 

I hope you like my card and can join in this week.
