Stamptacular Sunday Card Challenge - One for the boys!

Hello again gosh I have been busy today not posted this many in one day in a long time. We went to the British Museum today having watched "A Night at the Museum 2" yesterday. The kids loved it!!! My son Harry said I want to go to the museum at night mummy. We even found Dum Dum (think that is what he is called). No Dexter though. There is a pizza express very close by so we popped in for a quick meal too.
I saw that the stamptacular Sunday Card challenge was to make a card for the boys a man or boy close to your heart. I made this it will come in handy for an occasion for one of my boys I am sure of it.
Okay a bit of fun was had here I cut out the head from skater Ian, attatched the body of Rock Star Anya and the legs of hope or grace not to sure who is who yet. They are all stamps from The Greeting farm. I am having a bit of an addiction at the moment so bear with me. My WOJ summer kit should be here next week so I will bombard you with those shortly. I coloured in using promarkers and I used a fairly easy Layout. Papers are Basic grey.

Stampin for the Weekend - Purple and Yellow

I have made this card for the new challenge Stampin for the weekend . The theme is Purple and Yellow. I made this card using Ian from the greeting farm and I used recess papers by basic grey and cardstock and mirror card and ribbon from my stash.

Cute Card Thursday - Bling

Hi Everyone the weather is not making it's mind up today so stayed in and could of gone out (apart from taking youngest daughter to speech therapy). I have made this card for cute card Thursday. I used fireman Ian from the greeting farm. I love fireman. Had a dream come true when I was rescued by some when a lift got stuck. They were hunky ones which was even better.
I made a little scene by cutting out some paper. I stamped the cats head from pretty hat anya set and drew a body. I then added the sentiment. The bling elements are the cats collar tag (a gem) and the mirror card. I punched the stars and scalloped some card.

Basic Grey challenge - Ice cream

OOH I love ice cream so how could I resist the basic grey challenge this week!!!! I have two favourite flavours Rum and Raisin and Mint choc chip. I also love Mint feasts and cornetto's so I chose Mint choc chip as my inspiration. I used Stella Ruby papers. I coloured in Ian ( rock the farm set) from the greeting farm, using copics and promarkers. I used sakura stardust pen for the fish. I added some pebbles and ribbon. I paper pierced the scalloped edge card as I do not have any fancy border punches yet.

Papertake weekly - Dawny's sketch

Another great sketch from Dawny this week at Papertake weekly . I have used Ian from my Rock the Farm set of stamps by The Greeting Farm. I have also used a high hopes stamp for the background. I used a mixture of copics, promarkers and sakura pens to colour in. I used some pearlescent green card and some white card to layer. I have added some faux stitching and paper pierced the holes. I have a bit of a downer mood at the moment and it has clashed with the holidays, I need some strength to snap out of it! I am quite strong at getting out of them just the pressure cooker effect of having the kids 24/7 literally for the last 9 years. Just keep saying "I am in the thick of it".

My Big boy's birthday card!!!

My big boy (see him in the sidebar) is six on Saturday so I thought i would make his card. He has lots of passions, football (Arsenal), space, airplanes, trains and rock and roll!!! Inspired by club anya's challenge rockin rebel I have adapted Rockstar anya by giving her a haircut and adding the legs of Ian from rock the farm! I also decoupaged the guitar. I hope he likes it!!! I had a blast as I do like to change. I used HOTP plain papers that i distressed with an emery board and added some swirls.

Colour create - Lime green, turquoise and navy

Hi this week Colour create challenged us to use no patterned paper as an optional challenge and the colours Lime green, Turquoise and navy on our cards. I used my new sugar nellie stamp. I made the background from part of my Ian greeting farm stamp and a greeting farm sentiment ( both are rock the farm). I then cuttlebugged some navy card and cut it into bubbles. I added the sentiment I used in the background and added a few gems. I think it works okay not 100%.

Club Anya Rockin Rebel! Tonight I'm going to be Amy Winehouse!!!

Hi a late one for me. I have made a card for the club anya challenge which is to make a rockin rebel out of all your greeting farm stamps. I made the most current British rockin rebel Amy Winehouse. I used Angel Anya and Ian from Rock the farm. I used the hair from Ian and Angel Anya for Amy's famous beehive and Angel anya for the rest of her. I made her into the cover of Rolling stone Magazine as she has been on the front cover. I took inspiration from her album title "Back to black" and used just black and white. If you have some Anya or Greeting farm stamps check out the challenge as it is real fun and the other entrants and the Design teams are all fab!

Cute card Thursday! Recipe

Hello I had to make a card for a friend who gave me a lift home from the hospital on Monday following my son's little trip there. He is slowly getting better thanks to you all for your lovely messages! I really appreciate your words. I have brought a bottle of Rose and I made this using the Cute card Thursday recipe.

*Something torn
*4 ( only ) embellishments
*2 papers

I tore my blue hotp papers to make the river. I added a dragonfly, saftey pin, handmade hook and line and an extra fish as my embellishments. I used my K and co scrap paper to make some reeds. I doodled a frame and coloured it in to make it look like rope. I used my yummy greeting farm stamp Ian (rock the farm set). I know Katie ,who is Julians husband ,loves to reuse my cards so I just added the sentiment Just a note to say, this means it remains a versitile card.
