Papertake Weekly/Spoonfull of Sugar

Another double challenge for me. Made this little tag for this weeks PTW, the challenge is spots and stripes, and for Spoonfull. Their challenge is blue and green. The DP are from Daisy Bucket, ribbon from Anita's and punchouts from Deja Views. For the image I used one of my own stamps (which I actually don't own myself, my lovely pal stamped it for me...)Rockstar Luca, I think he is called. I coloured him in with promarkers. This is a card for my pal's little rockstar baby Arjen, he is one next month, so th ought I'd better get organised, since I have about 10 birthday cards to make for may!! Cold and dull here again today, and I have to go to work...noooooo!!!Have a great tuesday!

Sketch Saturday-48

Gone a bit sketch mad this week, just can't get enough of them at the mo. For this challenge I used some of my own stamps, that I have designed for Sugar Nellie. The main image is skate Luca and the two little skulls are from the Totally Tattoos range. I coloured them in with promarkers. The "D" and "one" punch outs are from a paperpad by Deja Views (little ones) For the DP I used some doublesided paper from Daisy Bucket. Really like the bright funky colours. This card is for my pals little boy that turns one next month. He is such a funky little pirate dude, I had to incorporate some skulls on the card. Thanks for looking, I am away to work...sigh...

Friday Sketchers - 49

Gorgeous sketch over at Friday Sketchers this week. I have made a post it note holder and incorporated the sketch in the project. Really simple project, but very handy. I have put some magnetic strips on the back, so this one will go on my fridge. (Got memory like a fish after having all them kids...lol..)DP are from Aunt Gerti's garden, the image is from Sugar Nellie (by Elisabeth Bell). For the sentiment I used my mini stamp alphabet from Studio G. Ribbon from Anita's. Circles and flowers are cut out from the paper to match. Such a dull day today, no wonder I got so much done...lol...have a good monday!

Cupcake Craft challenges - 37 -5 Embellishments

Monday again and another great challenge over at Cupcake. This week it is Caryn that has set the challenge, to use 5 embellishments. I made box with a pull out chocolate bar. I used a cute Tilda image and some We R Memory Keepers DP. (Precious Metal)For my five embellishments I have used
* Blue ribbon from Anita's
* Two headpins with some bradjewellery(gift from a lovely friend)
* Two cut out layered flowers
So much fun, but when chocolate is involved in the project,it gets kinda hard not to eat it...lol...so I gave it to a friend in need of a choccie fix. Had so much fun making this project, can't wait to get stuck into next weeks. Havea great week and thanks for popping by.

Rock climbing

Evening. Hope you all had a lovely weekend. Here is some pictures from this morning of my boys. We were on a lovely forest walk in a place called Cabrach,about 20 minutes from where I stay. The boys found some big boulders and climbed on them, and Jed was fascinated by a little stream. They could have thrown stones for hours. It was really hot when we were out,but when we got back it was lashing it down and then there was hail stones...don't understand this scottish weather...lol...finished the Starwars mural I have been working on, will put some pictures up next week. Sorry short post but have a pile of ironing todo....have a good evening and thanks for looking.

The Sugar Bowl - MEN

This fortnight over at The Sugar Bowl the challenge is to make a card or project for a male. Young or old doesn't matter. Ofcourse you have to use a Sugar Nellie stamp. I have gone and used one of my own stamps (Karate Luca), this card is for my pal's little boy Lucas, he is turning 8 next month. I coloured Luca in with promarkers. Used some DP from Prima (spaceboy), cut outs from Deja Views (little ones) and used another one of my own stamps from the Totally Tattoos line, and stamped "Lucas" with my mini alphabet cube from Studio G. Not a very nice day today, managed to take the kids for a walk in the Cabrach forest early this morning, so I don't feel so bad now they are absorbed in their Nintendo DS'. Thanks for looking.

Doubledutch Challenges-16 -Do not disturb

Another super fun challenge over at Doubledutch this fortnight. For this challenge the Doubledutch team want you to make a doorhanger. I am the queen of doorhangers...lol..my house is full of them...lol...but I thought I'd make something different this time. I made a doorhanger with a little pocket on the front. I put a little treatbag in it. There is lots of things you can use this doorhanger for.If you have a baby, you could put their dummy in there. Anyways I used a spring Tilda for this cute little project. I coloured her in with promarkers. The DP are from K&Co,used some ribbon and fibres I got on Ebay. Used a headpin from Williams, a mini safety pin I bought in Tesco's, some stickon pearls from stash and a mini tag that I got from Doubledutch a while ago, when I won a loyalty reward! Had loads of fun doing this project. Shame my kids spotted the sweeties and now they are all gone. Put some potpuri in a bag in it, bet they don't want to eat that...lol..have a great sunday!

Cute card Thursday - 57 - Getting Edgy

Another great challenge over at Cute Card. I have made a birthday card for this one...and NO STAMP!! Shock, horror. I used some Dovecraft papers out of my stash box that I have had for ages, still love them and the colourcombo's on them. Used my Cricut machine to cut out some lettering and flowers for embellishments, used some pink buttons I got in a junkshop, some ribbon from Trimcraft and for sentiment I used a SU stamp. Black and white cardstock from the Papermill in Aberdeen. Sorry not a lot of posts beginning of this week. Have been suffering from a very bad back, but feel better today and have LOOADS of crafty bits and drawings to catch up with. Have a good thursday and thanks for having a nosy.

Sugar Sugar - April

No tutorial this month over at Sugar Sugar, but a brilliant challenge. This month you are to make something for Easter, but not a card. I used an empty egg carton and decorated it with some DP from K&Co and a cute Cotton Rabbit image. (Sugar Nellie ofcourse, since you have to use Sugar Nellie stamps over at the Sugar Bowl) Also used some ribbon, headpins and buttons from stash and filled the carton with creme eggs, which was torture since I wanted to eat them all!! Have a nosy at this monthly challenge HERE!I am away to make dinner, thanks for looking!
