Festive Fridays Feb 8th Challenge on Outlawz

Afternoon friends,

 Well today is the second challenge on the Festive Fridays new bi monthly schedule and I have absolutely had a ball making this card. I though lets make the basket and the roses the main focus so I printed them larger and fussy cut them out and coloured with my promarkers. and the papers came with the digi and wow what a selection we had. I also used from issue 21 of the Crafters Companion issue 21 Crafters Inspiration monthly magazine which came with the edge word Happy and also a beautiful botanical stencil from imagination crafts and made a nice bright background with my distress oxides ( which I love love love) and here is the final result which I hope you all like.

Have a fab weekend speak soon.

Variety of Cards

Hi Guys,

It's me back again, just went through my phone and got my pictures of cards that I have made recently. As you may have known or not known until recently I was on the Cute N Crafty design team but decided to leave it due to personal reasons so here is three of them and the 40th birthday card was made for a lady in the card swap group that I am on and she received it at the weekend so I can now share it with you all and she was over the moon with it. 

Bloody boiler on the blink again only got installed in August and supposedly got a new part for the same issue got fitted last week and husband told me it was the same again so got engineer coming out tomorrow to have a look. That will be the last 3 weeks that I wont have been able to craft grrrr lol

Speak soon and hope you all have a good night.

Incy Wincy Designs Team Challege 21st Jan - Colour and Picture Inspiration

Hi Guys,

How have you all been? Surviving January and the long horrible grey days lol? Well on the bright side it means you can craft like I have doing a wee bit every day and I have been having great fun I have also discovered Mixed Media and I'm loving it have been working on a few projects which I hope to get to show you all soon.
Well I have to share this info as it was what was behind this weeks Challenge and I have really loved this challenge as the Image I chose was very reflective and I chose neutral colours to highlight the reflectiveness but unfortunately I didnt have anything coral so I had to go with light pink and I restricted myself to  two shades of light pink and I also felt this image could be used to highlight the individuality and that you don't need to be afraid to be yourself as I think in today's society there is to much pressure on having to look a certain way and act a certain way well I can say I have never been  that person I have always tried to be myself and im proud of who I am so I think I know a young girl who could be doing with receiving this card. Sorry got too serious there. I hope you like this card as much as I do.

Happy New Year Festive Friday on The Outlawz Challenges

Hi Guys,

Well I think this is the last of my first week of the new year Design Team cards done and I;m excited with this one as I had great fun making it and it turned out better than I thought as you will see in the picture below. This image was provided by the Paper Shelter and the paper came with it too but didnt need to use it and at first I wasnt going to use the paper but it was only once I had coloured the image in that I looked at the paper and the vision came to me yes it was inspired by Frozen well its hard not to when it comes to a winter fairy right? Lol well its finally time that I can share this card with you all and I am over the moon with it. Well I am also in a card swap group on facebook and yesterday the first challenge of the year started and its Mixed Media which I am desperate to try and yes its taking me out of my comfort zone but with all my goodies I got at Christmas I am sure I will be able to create something so please keep an eye out for that post. Well enough rambling here is my jan 11th entry to Festive Fridays - Winter Fairy

Incy Wincy Designs 7thJan Quotes or Sayings

yay I'm so excited for you all to see this card as if anyone knows me they will know that I don't just love monkeys but I adore them. For my 30th Birthday a family member got a message written for me in a stone that was getting laid as a path in Monkey World down in Dorset. Also I'm very concerned for the monkeys who are losing their natural habitat for the world to get Palm Oil. Well enough of that when I got told about the sponsor Beccy's Place I was just having a browse  before Christmas and as the page loaded I seen the cute Monkeys so my decision was made. When the email came with this image and quote I just couldn't resist so I went and bought the whole set oops me bad but they are soooooooooooooooo cute so here is my entry for the Incy Wincy Design Team first challenge of the year and I cant wait to see what my entries will be like.

Progressive Freebie - Outlawz Challenge Happy New Year

Good Evening,

Hope you are all having  a fab saturday. I was so excited this morning my hubby went to the post office to collect a parcel that came whilst we were away for New Year. I have been heavy hinting for 2 of the items since last summer and toldmy husband you will need to get these quick or they will run out well of course they ran out of them and when I contacted them they didnt know when they would be in stock this was about end of oct. So 23rd dec came and I went onto the cc website and low and behold what was back in stock so with Birthday money I got earlier on the month I clicked on the 2 items and then something else. Well I was so excited to find all these goodies in this envelope so I got 2 different sets of the midas metallic ink pad 3 sets and the Tonic Studios Floral Tool Set so I cant wait to have a play but will need to wait until tree and decorations have been taken down tomorrow and its a sad goodbye to our Christmas Tree who will not stand another Christmas so its on the hunt we go as I must have a tree for the end of December lol. 

Well now back in the New Year the challenges are all starting up again and one that I am enjoying being part of is the Progressive Freebie Challenge on the Outlawz Challenge and its a cute stamp for this month and I look forward to seeing what people produce with this stamp but here is my entry.

I look forward to hearing from you when I post my work and if you would like to see anything then send me some suggestions and I will see what I can do for you.
